Not yet. Altering the constitution is a slow process - fortunately.

The draft/proposal is dated to Jan 2015 [1] (it's in Swedish, sorry), and it was in the works, and came up again today on the newspapers after the Minister of Justice called for a debate on this. Here's an up to date article on this: http://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/working_group_tables_const...

EDIT: add sources.
