    Expanding access to communicable disease registersHE 5/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Ihan ensiksi: onnea matkaan, tuleva pääministeri. Sitten tähän tartuntatautilakiin: Sosiaali- ja terveysvaliokunta käsitteli tätä, ja oltiin hyvin yksimielisiä siitä, että tämä hallituksen esitys on erittäin hyvä, mutta totesimme sen, että nämä kiireelliset muutokset, mitkä nyt on tuotu tänne…

    Expanding access to communicable disease registersHE 5/2023 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Täällä on käytetty erinomaisen hyviä ja informatiivisia puheenvuoroja tästä tartuntatautilain pykälämuutoksesta. Tässähän on kysymys siitä, että palautetaan itse asiassa takaisin se, miten on normaalisti tapahtunut, miten on saatu tietoja ja ketkä ovat voineet niitä tietoja katsoa näistä…

    Reforming and standardising disability servicesHE 191/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tänään keskustelemme täällä mietinnöstä vammaispalveluista. Sattuneesta syystä, kun itse olen paljon tehnyt vammaisten henkilöitten kanssa yhteistyötä, koen hyvin tärkeänä heidän asemansa pitämisen hyvänä täällä yhteiskunnassa ja tasavertaisena ja oikeudenmukaisena. Ja tietysti vielä olen hyvin…

    A public register for lobbying activitiesHE 98/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tässä esityksessä tavoitteena on eduskunnan ja ministeriöiden valmisteluun ja päätöksentekoon kohdistuvan vaikuttamisen läpinäkyvyyden parantaminen ja sitä kautta kansalaisten luottamuksen vahvistaminen. Lisäksi lailla pyritään edistämään hyvien edunvalvontakäytäntöjen muodostumista. Kysymyksessä on…

    Separate compensation for hospital emergency servicesHE 328/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! On aivan totta, mitä edustaja Kulmuni sanoi tuossa ansiokkaassa puheenvuorossaan, minkä nyt juuri piti. Mielestäni se hyvin peilasi sitä, mitä on tapahtunut, ja sitten hän myöskin totesi realistisesti, että tähän uudistukseen, mitä nyt tehdään, tarvitaan se korjaussarja, ja sitähän varmasti jokainen…

    Separate compensation for hospital emergency servicesHE 328/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Tässä oli pakko ottaa puheenvuoro siitä syystä, kun tätä olen itsekin seurannut aika monta vuotta, ja nythän tässä on — aivan niin kuin edustaja Kulmuni ja monet muut täällä totesivat, myös edustaja Juuso — saatu vähän niin kuin linnarauha, että Savonlinna ja Kemin lumilinna, linnarauha on saatu nyt…

    Clarifying copyright reform for fundamental rightsHE 313/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Niin, tekijänoikeuslaki on todella tärkeä laki. Se on hyvin kompleksinen laki ja varmasti yksi vaikeimmista lainsäädännöistä, mitä on, jos ajattelee selkeyden ja kompleksisuuden akseleilla. Mutta se on hurjan tärkeä, se on erinomaisen tärkeä, kun ajattelee, että siinä risteilevät nimenomaan…

    Clarifying copyright reform for fundamental rightsHE 313/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Me tosiaan tänä päivänä käsittelemme tätä tekijänoikeuslain uudistamista, jossa siis pannaan täytäntöön direktiivit. Muiden uudistamistarpeiden valmistelu mahdollisesti aloitetaan myöhemmin, näin linjasimme, mutta siis nyt tämän direktiivin implementaatiosta on kysymys. Näillä lakimuutoksilla pannaan…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Jatkan vielä vähän tuosta aikaisemmasta puheestani, jossa keskityin erityisesti tähän mietintöön, minkä ulkoasiainvaliokunta on meille nyt tänne tuonut, ja siinä kiittelin sitä. Mutta haluan muistuttaa kuitenkin vielä siitä, että nyt ei pidä sitten luulla, että jos ja kun ja todennäköisesti päästään…

    Finland's accession to NATOHE 315/2022 vp

    Arvoisa puhemies! Ulkoasiainvaliokunnan päätös valmistaa mietintönsä Suomen liittymisestä Natoon oli aivan oikea. Suomen lähtökohtana on, että liitymme Natoon yhdessä Ruotsin kanssa ja etenemme käsi kädessä, niin kuin olemme tähän astikin edenneet. Suomella on kuitenkin oltava valmius liittyä yksin Natoon. On…

    Arvoisa puhemies! Jäin oikein kuuntelemaan tätä lakiesityksen käsittelyä täällä, koska pidän tätä todella hyvänä, jos ajattelee, että tässä on kysymyksessä pitkään työttömänä olleiden tilanne ja sitten toisaalta järjestötoimintojen jatkuvuus. Me tarvitaan järjestöjä tuottamaan palveluja mutta me tarvitaan sinne…
