Highlights
”On tietysti tärkeää, että tiekuntien hallintoa ja päätöksentekoa sujuvoitetaan, mutta ne ongelmathan ovat aivan muualla.”
In favour with reservations · Streamlining private road administration
”Minusta tässä on hyvin valmisteltua lainsäädäntöä, ja tuossa valiokunnan kuuleminen oli hyvin yksimielinen siitä.”
In favour · Enhancing maritime ship safety supervision
”Kyllähän tuo 3G-verkon yllättävä alasajaminen teki semmoisen aukon tuolla haja-asutusalueilla ja maaseudulla nyt sitten tämän kuuluvuuden ja verkkojen toimivuuden osalta.”
In favour with reservations · Speeding up ultra-fast network rollout
”Mutta tavoite tässä on hyvä: liikenneturvallisuus, päästöjen vähentäminen, autokannan nuorentaminen.”
In favour with reservations · Scrappage incentive for passenger cars
”Joukkoliikenteen kehittäminen on tulevaisuusinvestointi, ja tämmöinen mahdollistava lainsäädäntö on sinänsä tarpeellinen ja kannatettava.”
In favour with reservations · Enabling regional passenger train procurement
”Se on minusta tärkeä asia tässä kaiken kaikkiaan ja myös tulevaisuudessa sitten se, minkä ministeri toisena nosti esille, eli tämä sähköisten kuljetustietojen kehittämistarve.”
In favour · Developing transport information systems and ticketing

Streamlining private road administrationHE 125/2026 vpArvoisa puhemies! On tietysti tärkeää, että tiekuntien hallintoa ja päätöksentekoa sujuvoitetaan, mutta ne ongelmathan ovat aivan muualla. Tässä on aika hyvin kuvattu sitä rahoitusta. Viime kaudellahan kaiken kaikkiaan siinä oli vielä puuhuoltorahoitusta 30 miljoonaa yhteensä koko hallituskaudella, ja yli kymmenen…

Enhancing maritime ship safety supervisionHE 136/2026 vpArvoisa puhemies! On tärkeää, että vanhaa lainsäädäntöä uudistetaan, jopa 30 vuotta vanhaa. Tämähän koskee nyt Suomen lipun alla olevien lippuvaltiolaivojen tarkastuksia, mutta siinä on hyvä ja tärkeää, että siinä on laajennettu säädöksellä myös näitä ympäristömerenkulun tarkistuksia ja muuta. Suomalainen merenkulku…

Fisheries obligations for old hydropower plantsHE 84/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puheenjohtaja! [Oikealta: Puhemies!] — Puhemies! Valtuustosta kun siirtyy tänne... — Minusta on hienoa, että tässä on nyt kumminkin joitain toimenpiteitä, mitkä vahvistavat sitten vaelluskalojen hankkeita. Meillä on hyviä tuloksia viime kaudella nousuohjelman kautta, ja samoin tälläkin kaudella niitä on…

Reforming integration and language training servicesHE 74/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! On sinänsä kannatettavaa, että maahanmuuttajakoulutusta tehostetaan ja kotouttamista tehostetaan ja siirretään sitten kuntien ja TE-keskusten harteille. Leikkaukset tietysti näkyvät sitten resursseissa. Suurin murhehan tässä on tämä vapaan sivistystyön lakimuutos ja kielikoulutuksen ja…

Restricting driving by 17-year-oldsHE 11/2026 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Tärkeä lakiuudistus. Silloin, kun edellinen lainsäädäntö tehtiin, vähän kysymysmerkkiä oli, miten tässä käy, ja kyllähän tämä lähti vähän lapasesta. Vuonna 24 myönnettiin jo enemmän 17-vuotiaille ajolupia kuin 18-vuotiaille. Hyvä, että tämä nopealla aikataululla eteni, mutta huolihan tässä oli…

Restricting direct procurement from in-house companiesHE 2/2026 vpArvoisa puhemies! Jälleen kerran lakiesitys, missä asiantuntijoita ei ole kuultu — ikävä kyllä. On erikoinen väite ministeriltä, jopa kova, että kunnat kiertävät hankintalakia, todella kova väite kuntia kohtaan. Meillä Pohjois-Karjalassa on hirmu hyvät kokemukset yhteisistä hankinnoista ja erityisesti…

Supplementary budget for 2026HE 1/2026 vpArvoisa puhemies! Olisin kyllä toivonut tässä lisätalousarviossa joitakin kasvu- ja elvytystoimia. Nyt otetaan vain lisää velkaa. Tässä kasvupaketissa, mikä täällä on, ei nopeita kasvutoimenpiteitä ole kuin tuo 25 miljoonaa, ja nekään eivät ole nopeasti toteutettavissa. On hienoa, että pk-yrityksiä tuetaan. Se on…

Easier financing for student housingHE 180/2025 vpArvoisa puhemies! Todellakin melkoisen sotkun hallitus aiheutti näillä rahoitusmuutoksilla. Joensuusta sitä läheltä olen katsonut — ollaan Suomen suurin opiskelijakaupunki asukaslukuun suhteutettuna, 25 000 opiskelijaa — ja meillä olisi tarvetta ollut kaksi opiskelija-asuntoa laittaa liikkeelle, mutta nyt tämä…

Permitting wolf huntingHE 173/2025 vpArvoisa puhemies! Metsästyslain muutos on kannatettava, ja se, että laista poistetaan säännös ympärivuotisesta rauhoituksesta, on kannatettavaa. Esitetty alueellinen kiintiömetsästys on oikea tapa huolehtia suurpetokannasta, ja se huomioi myös petopolitiikassa sen sosiaalisen kestävyyden. Asiaa on pyöritelty vuosia…

Supplementing the 2026 budget proposalHE 171/2025 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Kun hallitusohjelmaa lukee, niin sieltä voi kyllä poimia suoraan, että kaikki hallituksen talouspoliittiset tavoitteet ovat menneet romukoppaan jo ajat sitten. Suomen talous on ollut yli kaksi vuotta taantumassa, ja hallituksen sopeutustoimet eivät ole ainakaan parantaneet tilannetta.…

Making it easier to dismiss employeesHE 158/2025 vpArvoisa puhemies! Ihmettelen, että hallitus jatkuvasti tuo näitä työelämäheikennyksiä tänne saliin, kun tiedetään, että suomalaisten luottamus niin hallitukseen kuin tulevaisuudennäkymään on tällä hetkellä aivan pohjamudissa. Mutta ymmärrän sen. Tämä on kuultu monta kertaa: kun se on kirjoitettu hallitusohjelmaan,…

Making it easier to dismiss employeesHE 158/2025 vpArvoisa rouva puhemies! Sopimusyhteiskunnasta ja työelämän yhteistyöstä ei ole kohta kuin savuavat rauniot jäljellä, kun nyt käsittelyssä oleva potkulaki ja myöhemmin tuotava esitys määräaikaisen työntekijän aseman edelleen heikentämisestä tuodaan saliin. Hallituksen niin sanottujen työllisyyttä parantavien työelämän…

Restricting activation plans for rehabilitative workHE 109/2025 vpArvoisa puhemies! Ennätystyöttömyydessä oleva Suomi sekä ennätysluvut pitkäaikaistyöttömyydessä nostavat kuntouttavan työtoiminnan merkitystä entisestään. Työtoiminnan merkitys on ehkäistä ja parantaa pitkäaikaistyöttömien työ- ja toimintakykyä sekä monesti kateissa olevaa elämänhallintaa tarjoamalla tuettua…

Abolishing the Housing Fund of FinlandHE 135/2025 vpArvoisa rouva puheenjohtaja! Jälleen kerran hallitukselta tulee lainsäädäntöä, jossa ei asiantuntijoita haluta kuunnella. Tämä alkaa olla jo kertaus monesta aiemmasta asiasta. Toinen asia: kun on tämmöisiä hätäisiä päätöksiä, niin näitä vaikutusten arviointeja tässäkään hankkeessa ei ollenkaan ole selvitetty. Jos…
