    Improving the position of exploited foreign workersHE 80/2026 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Esityksen tavoite työperäisen hyväksikäytön uhrin aseman parantamisesta on tietenkin kannatettava. Esitetty keino, hyvin lyhyt kolmen kuukauden suoja-aika, ei kuitenkaan tue tätä tavoitetta. Se on liian lyhyt ja liian harkinnanvarainen, jotta työperäisen hyväksikäytön kohteeksi joutunut henkilö voisi…

    Valtion talousarvioksi vuodelle 2027HE 175/2026 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Hallinnonalan menot kasvavat merkittävästi mutta epätasaisesti. Poliisi saa lisää, mutta lisätalousarviot huomioiden muille tulee lähinnä miinusta, mukaan lukien pelastustoimi ja hätäkeskustoiminta. Tämä kuvastaa superkapeaa turvallisuuskäsitystä. Jos me samaan aikaan yhteiskunnassa lisätään…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Hallituksen esityksellä toimeenpannaan EU:n laaja muuttoliike- ja turvapaikkauudistus. Jo uudistukseen itsessään liittyy vakavia ongelmia perus- ja ihmisoikeuksien kannalta. Nyt hallitus on kuitenkin tuomassa turvapaikkapaktin osaksi kansallista lainsäädäntöä tavalla, joka menee monin paikoin…

    Allowing surgical castration of pigletsHE 32/2026 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tiedossa on, että porsaiden kirurginen kastraatio tuottaa merkittävää kärsimystä, olisi eläinsuojelurikos, jos se tehtäisiin samoin ehdoin kissalle tai koiralle, ja se on muualla Euroopassa harvinainen tai väistyvä toimenpide. Sikataloutta on todistetusti mahdollista harjoittaa Euroopassa ilman…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Edustaja Lehtinen on siinä oikeassa, että jos on henkilöitä näistä mainitsemistani Tilastokeskuksen 300 000—400 000:sta, jotka eivät käytä koskaan ja mene lähellekään internetiä, niin heidän osaltaan tämä ongelma ei aktualisoidu millään lailla.

    Arvoisa puhemies! Edustaja Lehtinen tuossa kysyi, kuka luottaa pelkkään kirjepostiin, ja kyllä tässäkin salissa olen useaan kertaan ihmetellyt, kukapa niin. No, ainakin muutama vuosi sitten käytiin paljon keskustelua siitä, mitenkä työvoimaviranomainen luottaa aina kirjepostiin ja määrää ihmisille sanktioita siitä,…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Myös vasemmistoliiton mielestä digitaalinen viestinvaihto, viestintä ja posti on tulevaisuutta, mutta ei tällaisin menetelmin ja tällaisessa tahdissa. Suurissa murroksissa on tärkeää, että ne pyritään toteuttamaan niin, että kaikki pysyvät mukana. Jos ajatellaan, että kirjepostiin me ollaan totuteltu…

[Anne Rintamäki: Rintamäki!] — Aah, anteeksi, [Anne Rintamäki: Ei haittaa!] Rintamäelle. Kysehän ei ole vain rikollisista ja uhreista ja näiden kohtelun välisestä tasapainosta, vaan kysymys on myös…

    Niin, edustaja Rasinkangas, tämä menee nyt vähän ensimmäisen käsittelyn toistoksi, mutta siis se ero nyt sen välttämättömän ja akuutin hoidon välillä on siinä, että kun henkilöllä on diabetes, niin annetaanko siihen diabetekseen siellä terveyskeskuksessa tarvittava lääkitys tai muu hoito vai odotetaanko, että hän…

Kävin edustaja Hännisen esittämät perustelut, kun hän lupasi perusteluita, ja kirjoitin oikein ylös kaikki puheenvuorossa esiin nostetut perustelut tälle lainsäädännölle, joka ikisen. Eli Hänninen esittää, että laki selkeyttää ja tarkentaa. Sehän nimenomaan ei selkeytä, juuri niin kuin edustaja…

    Restricting healthcare for undocumented migrantsHE 50/2025 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Jokainen ymmärtää, että on parempi hoitaa ihmisten vaivat oikea-aikaisesti, ei akuuttipäivystyksenä. On parempi hoitaa halvemmalla kuin kalliimmalla, jos halvempi on myös kivuttomampi ja vähemmän kärsimystä aiheuttava. On parempi suunnitella säädöksiä alan asiantuntijoita ja tutkimusta hyödyntäen, ei…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Kertaan vielä vähän tätä meidän verotusjärjestelmän filosofista perustaa: Kirkkoisä Augustinus aikanaan lähti liikkeelle siitä, että on olemassa kahdenlaista omaisuutta. On kohtuullinen varallisuus, jonka tarkoituksena on huolehtia siitä, että ihminen tulee toimeen, saa syötävää syödäkseen ja saa…

    Kiitos, arvoisa puhemies! Näen todella vaikeaksi vertailla OECD-maiden perintöverojärjestelmiä keskenään, mutta noin yleisesti ottaen kahdeksassa maassa ei ole perintöverotusta tai siihen rinnastuvaa järjestelmää, ja nämä ovat pääsääntöisesti itäeurooppalaisia maita.
