02/10/2025 | 19:23:15 Honourable colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for this comprehensive and thorough report on the promotion of universal healthcare. Universal healthcare is one of the key principles of the Canadian healthcare system. It is designed to provide free access to family doctors, specialised healthcare workers in hospitals and more recently, dental care services for the most vulnerable Canadians. While medications are free during hospitalisation, most prescription drugs remained... 01/10/2025 | 20:09:41 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Honourable colleagues, I would like to thank Rapporteur Kravchuk for the report we are debating today. Today we debate the question of how best to strengthen youth participation in our democratic life. Some suggest, like the report before us mentions, that we lower the voting age to 16.

Justifiably, Israel intervened before Iran could complete their schemes and follow through on their abundant threats towards this... 25/06/2025 | 11:40:57 Honourable colleagues, For decades, female athletes have fought hard to be treated like their male peers. Whether in terms of resources for amateurs or salaries and prize money for professionals, unacceptable disparities have long existed, and many persist. Thankfully, with the growing popularity of women’s sports, that is starting to change. In other respects, however, female athletes remain just as – if not more – vulnerable than before. Nearly 21% of professional female athletes report... 23/06/2025 | 17:10:30 Honourable colleagues, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his exceptional work acting as the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe’s head of delegation during the joint observation mission’s monitoring of the May 2025 parliamentary elections in Albania.
