1 of 4 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 bill under debate.
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 → “but I would be pleased to provide commentary in writing to the relevant minister to ensure that more oil flows through Mission—Matsqui—Abbotsford to support the Canadian economy in the best way possible.” The clause focuses on promoting regional oil flow and economic development rather than the regulatory details of the bill.
Respect · 100
0 of 4 deductions are Respect
