Hi Joseph2302, I'll take a look at this one. My initial comment is that Pirkkala handout seems to be the wrong link. The article/hook describes it as a welfare bill but the article linked is about an educational pamphlet? - Dumelow (talk) 11:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dumelow I think I must have got the bills confused. I'll add info on the Pirkkala handout when I find the correct source. I have struck ALT1 and reworded for ALT2 below:
ALT2: ... that whilst serving as Finland's Minister of Social Affairs and Health, Marjatta Väänänen introduced a bill to increase home care provisions for young children?
