Postponing the fuel emissions surrender obligationHE 240/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Ehkä pitää olla huolissaan nimenomaan siitä, että tämä hallitus vei perusväylänpidosta rahaa jo aikaisemmilla päätöksillään ja nyt se jälleen näyttää vievän 20 miljoonaa euroa pois siitä kaikista kriittisimmästä infrasta, mitä meidän kuljetusyrittäjät ja ihmiset ympäri maata tarvitsevat. Miksi…

Postponing the fuel emissions surrender obligationHE 240/2026 vpKiitos oikein paljon, arvoisa rouva puhemies! Tämä kokonaisuus, jota nyt käsitellään, on kyllä aivan järjetön, kun miettii, että ETS kakkonen, päästökauppa, on tulossa vuonna 28, ja kun hallituksella olisi ollut mahdollisuus vaikuttaa siihen, niin nyt ei valitettavasti ole mitään tehty. Täällä perussuomalaiset ovat…

Increasing State Pension Fund transfersHE 231/2026 vpArvoisa herra puhemies! Oli se hiukan pelottavaa lukea sitä kokoomuksen kahden miljardin esitystä, ja nyt kun edustaja Satonen sitä täällä puolusti, niin vielä enemmän vain kysymyksiä tulee mieleen. Aina kun kokoomus tästä avauksesta on puhunut, niin asiantuntijat ovat nousseet varpailleen ja varoittaneet suomalaisia,…

Approving administrative agreement for Ukraine tribunalHE 188/2026 vpArvoisa herra puhemies! Karmeat tapahtumat Israelissa ja sen alueella ovat jatkuneet pitkään ja varmasti tulevat jatkumaan, mutta tässä on nyt oppositionkin sisällä hiukan epäselvyyksiä siitä, mitä tässä nyt tavoitellaan. Ainakin jos itse arvioin tuota vihreiden ja vasemmistoliiton esitystä, niin se kuulostaa hiukan…

Valtion talousarvioksi vuodelle 2027HE 175/2026 vpHerra puhemies! Edustaja Räsänen ehti lähteä, mutta teki mieli vain todeta, että monesti ne lisäysesitykset tulevat juuri sieltä puolelta, niin että kyllä täytyy myös arvioida siltäkin osin näitä faktoja. Arvoisa opetusministeri, en tiedä, oletteko ehtinyt tutustua keskustan esitykseen tästä dataämpäristä eli siitä,…

Valtion talousarvioksi vuodelle 2027HE 175/2026 vpArvoisa herra puhemies! Täällä käytiin ansiokasta keskustelua. Tuolta perussuomalaisten rivistä nostettiin esimerkiksi Italian kyky lypsää EU:lta kaikki rahat, mitä on mahdollista. Valitettavasti Suomen hallitus ei ole siihen pystynyt samalla tavalla. Olemme jo kuukausia odottaneet näitä Ilmastorahaston keinoja,…

Streamlining defence materiel export controlsHE 149/2026 vpKiitos, arvoisa herra puhemies! Nyt tuli, ehkä voisi sanoa, erikoinen tai mielenkiintoinen puheenvuoro. Mikä tämä hallituksen linja tässä nyt on? Näin voimakkaasti ei ole perussuomalaisten riveistä hyökätty kokoomusta ja pääministeripuoluetta vastaan. Onko tämä laki nyt yhdessä käsitelty, ja seisovatko…

Permitting nuclear weapon import and transitHE 72/2026 vpArvoisa herra puhemies! Valitettavasti, puolustusministeri, teillä on hiukan korjausvelkaa nyt kertynyt suhteessa eduskuntaan. Erityisesti tässä prosessissa, jos ajatellaan, että toimintanne on heikentänyt toisaalta parlamentarismia mutta toisaalta se on heikentänyt myöskin valtioneuvoston ja eduskunnan…

Restricting driving by 17-year-oldsHE 11/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Käsittelyssä oleva liikenne- ja viestintävaliokunnan mietintö koskee hallituksen esitystä laiksi ajokorttilain muuttamisesta. Hallituksen esityksen pääasiallisena tavoitteena on edistää erityisesti nuorten liikenneturvallisuutta. Hallituksen esityksessä todetaan, että vaikka…

Speeding up enforcement of deportationsHE 51/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! On harmi, että välillä, kun maahanmuuttopolitiikasta puhutaan, menee sekaisin se, ketkä ovat maahan laillisesti tulleet ja täällä laillisesti oleskelevat tai ketkä ovat laittomasti tulleet ja laittomasti oleskelevat. Kiitän ministeriä, että tämä esitys on nyt annettu eduskuntaan. Keskusta tukee…

Tightening taxi sector regulationHE 15/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Kiitos edustaja Vuornokselle. Tulemme aivan varmasti valiokunnassa tarkastelemaan näitä duubioita ja huomioita, joita kokoomuksella on tätä lakiesitystä kohtaan. Me tiedämme, että perussuomalaiset tässä vetivät nyt pidemmän korren, ja sitten me arvioimme sen ja katsomme, oliko se oikea korsi…

Tightening taxi sector regulationHE 15/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Tärkeintähän on tietysti, että laki parantaa kuljettajien ammattitaitoa, tehostaa sitä valvontaa ja ehkäisee niitä väärinkäytöksiä, mitä nyt näkyy, ja palauttaa luottamusta taksialaan, ja uskon, että tämä lakiesitys tulee osaltaan sen tekemään. Varmasti me liikenne- ja viestintävaliokunnassa…

Banning possession of radio jammersHE 12/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Kiitos todellakin tästä esityksestä, ja kiitos edustaja Mäenpäälle — hän ei ole täällä tänään, mutta hän oli tässä aktiivinen. Ehkä sekin oli yksi sykäys, että liikenne- ja viestintävaliokunta otti tämän silloin omaksi asiakseen ja lähti asiaa tutkimaan ja lähestyi sitten ministeriä kirjeellä.…

Restricting driving by 17-year-oldsHE 11/2026 vpKiitos, arvoisa puhemies! On hienoa tuommoisen kiivaan kyselytunnin jälkeen tulla puhumaan tänne oikeata asiaa ja käydä vakavasti näitä asioita, mitä mennään, eikä vain huudella puolin ja toisin. Ennen kaikkea kiitoksia tästä esityksestä. Uskon, että me kaikki tuemme liikenneturvallisuuden eteen tehtäviä töitä,…

Extending wellbeing services counties' deficit coverageHE 189/2025 vpArvoisa herra puhemies! Vaikuttaa siltä, että hallituksella ja oppositiolla, erityisesti keskustaoppositiolla, on eri näkemys siitä, mikä on hyvinvointialueiden tärkein tehtävä, mitä edustaja Sarkomaa kysyi. Hallituksen mielestä vaikuttaa, että tärkein tehtävä on tehdä plussaa hyvinvointialueilla mahdollisimman…
