Mr. President, thank you very much. Afterwards I will yield the floor to Deputy Chris Tonietto as well.
I would like to congratulate Rapporteur Pedro Campos. I believe this is a nonpartisan agenda.
I speak here not only as a parliamentarian, but as the father of two daughters.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
Recently, I had 5 days of paternity leave and I couldn't actually have that extra time for caregiving, because by law it is not allowed for us, who are public servants, Deputies and Senators.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
So, I think the free-market and family agendas are not opposed; on the contrary, they go hand in hand, and we know that present fathers create strong families.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
And the father, yes, can help — and a lot — during that period.
Anyone who breastfeeds knows that nursing makes you thirsty, and you have to hand over water — cold water, Mr. President.
Don't bring water that isn't cold to your wife while she's breastfeeding, because it really makes her very thirsty.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
You can, obviously, carry your child, help with household chores in general, be present.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
We know that when the Brazilian family is strengthened, it obviously brings benefits to society as a whole, because the father returns to work more energized, mainly from having cared for his greatest asset, which is his family.
I want to congratulate once again Deputy Pedro Campos for this initiative and all the women who were involved and who also came to my office.
We had an extensive meeting to be able to understand the situation.
Congratulations to my colleagues who understood the importance of us uniting in favor of the family agenda, which is the most important thing we have.
If you are a great Parliamentarian but a terrible father, it is of no use.
If you are an excellent shopkeeper or market vendor, but you are not a good father, it is of no use.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
This is a very important step to strengthen Brazilian families. Congratulations, Deputy Pedro! Thank you, Mr. President.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
Thank you, Mr. President. Not only as a Parliamentarian, but also as the father of two children, obviously I vote "yes".
- Neutral
About: adopt policies to stimulate population growth
We know that Brazil's birth rate is 1.6 children, which is a concern for the market.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
A medical worker, who works between 30 hours and 40 years, will be absent, at most, for 30 days in those 30 years or 40 years.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
We know that at the beginning of life the role of the father is very important.
- Ambiguous
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
I say this because we know that some fathers can, in an unscrupulous way, use that time to do other things that are not related to being a father.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
We cannot punish good fathers because of what bad fathers do.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
This is a very important advance. I want once again to congratulate the Rapporteur, Deputy Pedro Campos, and all who were involved in this process, and to say that present fathers create strong families.
About: increase the duration of paternity leave
This is a very important step to strengthen our greatest asset, which is our family. Thank you, Mr. President.
Good evening, everyone. Mr. President, I know that often when we go to discuss this kind of matter in the plenary, various ideas arise.
And it is good to have this exchange of opinions about a topic that, obviously, will ultimately impact the Brazilian worker.
I heard some arguments from the Left that, frankly, either didn't read the text or don't give a damn about the end consumer.
- Against
About: increase consumption taxes
"Oh, they'll tax foreign companies." But those foreign companies won't lose money, because they will pass all that cost on to the end consumer.
- Neutral
About: increase consumption taxes
Netflix was just hit by a stroke of the pen from the STF, which made a 10% tax apply, causing the company's shares to fall.
- Against
About: increase consumption taxes
Obviously, that results in an increase in the subscription fee. On Amazon Prime now, you have to pay an extra amount to avoid seeing trailers and ads in the middle of the movie.
- Against
About: require public channels to be available on streaming platforms
So it just keeps escalating. Specifically, we filed a motion regarding art. 8, §1, which addresses the following: when opening Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Deputy Sargento Gonçalves, it will be necessary to make available channels such as TV Câmara and TV Senado and a programming channel dedicated to health maintained by the public authorities.
- Against
About: require public channels to be available on streaming platforms
This is outrageous, people! I pay for streaming to escape that nonsense that often has political content.
About: guarantee consumer freedom of choice in streaming services
People don't want that. Consumers should have the freedom to pay to not have public content in it.
- Against
About: establish a 10% Brazilian content quota on streaming platforms
Besides the points raised by Deputy Gayer, such as stipulating a 10% quota of Brazilian content, even though there are great films produced like O Auto da Compadecida, Dois Filhos de Francisco, Tropa de Elite and Tropa de Elite 2, which are excellent, on the other hand we know that this production will be used with a lot of tax money to serve as an ideological base for the Left.
About: allocate public funds to the National Public Security Fund
This money, in the order of 20 billion reais, could even be allocated to public security, to the National Public Security Fund, from which Lula used 10% of the resources last year or the year before.
The vote on the allocation of this money requires a lot of responsibility.
It's not simply a matter of hearing what's being said in the corridors and voting anyhow.
About: reduce taxes with measures to offset revenue loss
Have responsibility! The National Congress needs to stop voting only for tax increases and start becoming aware that the one being harmed by this is the end consumer.
- Against
About: increase consumption taxes
For the company it will matter little, because it will pass this charge on to the end consumer.
- Against
About: require public channels to be available on streaming platforms
Therefore, the recommendation is "no." Thank you, Mr. President.
