At the extraordinary Diet session, policies that the Suga Cabinet attaches great importance to, such as measures against the new coronavirus and rebuilding the economy, the establishment of the Digital Agency and the expansion of insurance coverage for infertility treatment, are expected to be issues.
In addition, the opposition party has a policy of pursuing the reasons and circumstances why Prime Minister Suga did not appoint the six member candidates recommended by the Science Council of Japan.
On the other hand, the government has narrowed down the number of bills to be submitted to about 10 ahead of the preparation of the budget bill for the next fiscal year at the end of the year.
In addition, it is expected that a bill to amend the Seed and Seedling Law, which is a continuous deliberation, will be deliberated on the regulation of taking fruit seedlings overseas without permission.
In addition, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party are aiming to enact a bill to amend the Referendum Law, which is a continuous deliberation over the constitutional amendment.
