    Restricting direct procurement from in-house companiesHE 2/2026 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Hallituksen esitys julkisista hankinnoista on yksi Orpon hallituksen ideologisimmista ja epäonnistuneimmista esityksistä. Olemme talousvaliokunnassa käsitelleet lakia erittäin perusteellisesti ja saaneet siitä hyvän käsityksen. On poikkeuksellista, miten yksiäänisesti ja miten laajasti kritiikkiä…

    Increasing pension investment returns and fundingHE 40/2026 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tässä esityksessä todellakin eläkejärjestelmää vahvistetaan lisäämällä osakepainoa ja ottamalla käyttöön mahdollisuus indeksijarruun. Uudistus on sinänsä tasapainoinen, ja se on sitä sen ansiosta, että tässä valmistelussa on hyödynnetty perinteistä kolmikantaista yhteistyötä. Työmarkkinajärjestöt…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Kuten tässä keskustelussa on tullut esiin, niin näille uudistuksen tavoitteille on laaja tuki eduskunnassa, ja kilpailun lisääminen ja hankintojen tehostaminen on ollut usean hallituksen tavoitteena. No, ikävä kyllä tämän hallituksen esityksen kritiikki on ollut erittäin voimakasta, ja ne pienet…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Käsittelyssä on tänään hallituksen esitys henkilöön perustuvan irtisanomisperusteen keventämisestä. Lakia perustellaan työllisyydellä, mutta kuitenkaan merkittäviä työllisyysvaikutuksia uudistukselle ei pystytä arvioimaan, kuten tässä on keskustelun aikana käynyt ilmi. Myöskään mitään korjattavaa…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Kiitos ministerille esittelystä. On hyvä, että Suomessa kuluttajaluottojen sääntelyä on kehitetty viime vuosina ja että positiivinen tulorekisteri on saatu käyttöön.

    Arvoisa puhemies! Eilen Tilastokeskus kertoi, että Suomen työttömyysaste on noussut yli 10 prosenttiin ensimmäisen kerran sitten 90-luvun laman. Tänään uutisoitiin STM:n selvitys, että yli 31 000 lasta putoaa köyhyyteen hallituksen päätösten myötä. Nämä molemmat luvut ovat hallituksen politiikan tulosta. Tänä aamuna…

Siinä alijäämät ovat olleet pienempiä kuin hallituksen budjetissa ja myöskin työllisyysvaikutukset parempia ja suurempia kuin hallituksen vaihtoehdossa. [Susanne Päivärinnan…
