Relevance · 21
4 of 6 deductions are Relevance
Relevance checks whether the speaker stays on topic and answers the question asked. A low score means the speaker dodged the issue. Measured against the point put to the member, and the motion under debate.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “I think that, like me, my colleague has met with representatives from cultural organizations and festivals.” The clause discusses meeting with representatives from cultural organizations, which touches on the topic but does not answer why promises fail to materialize.
Off point Talking about something other than the matter at hand: the question asked, or the bill, motion or speech under debate. What the tags mean → “There are a lot of changes happening right now, both in terms of public safety and in the allocation of resources.” The clause makes general statements about changes in public safety and resource allocation.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “What really matters, however, at the core is diversity and outreach.” The clause focuses on the importance of diversity and outreach, a related policy area, but does not address the specific question about the failure of promises.
Off point Talking about something other than the matter at hand: the question asked, or the bill, motion or speech under debate. What the tags mean → “I do not see why the official opposition would be against this proposal.” The clause offers a political judgment about the opposition’s likely stance on the motion, not a response to the question asked.
