Profiling Fraktsiooni mittekuuluvad Riigikogu liikmedAI Summary
As the relatively new chair of the Legal Committee, I listened to Isamaa's speech and grew concerned about whether the bill we are examining restricts the search for landowners by name and personal identification number, or if it is something else, and I would ask for clarification.

AI Summary
The vice-speaker Toomas Kivimägi said that Urmas Reinsalu's speech could have misled you, because very little had been said about the bill, but this is Bill 467 and we will move to a vote, and we are still with this bill; now please, Andrei Korobeinik.

Korobeinik praises the current practice, recalls how his speech lasted a few seconds and he was interrupted, notes a warm tone toward Isamaa, and asks the chair whether Urmas spoke on topics for which amendments were made and that did not reach the chamber, and suggests that in the future the debate be organized in such a way that all amendments reach the chamber and the deputies can decide on compliance with the Constitution, because at present a good colleague has to talk about this at every bill.
