As a condition of the substitute picks, Lima also became a member of the Science and Technology and Communication and Informatics Commission (CCTCI), the Special Commission assigned to analyze the Constitutional Amendment about Public Security (CESEGUR) and the Special Subcommission of Publicity and Propaganda (SUBPUBLI).
In 2017, Lima became a leader of the opposition in the National Congress, leading debates with the PT, Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB), Democratic Labour Party (PDT), and Sustainability Network (REDE), most notably taking on the Bolsonaro administration proposals on social and workers' rights.
