Nikolas Ferreira: I would like to congratulate Rapporteur Pedro Campos. I believe this is a nonpartisan agenda.
Nikolas Ferreira: I speak here not only as a parliamentarian, but as the father of two daughters.
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.
Nikolas Ferreira: 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.
Nikolas Ferreira: And the father, yes, can help — and a lot — during that period.
