15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is direct, concerned, and demanding; although it begins by praising the inquiry ('very good and noble'), it quickly shifts to the specific concern: the lobbying for cannabis legalization. The speaker employs a logical appeal, referencing specialists, and concludes with a demanding question aimed at securing a firm promise from the minister.
