Tästä huolimatta muutamat ministerit - eivät kuitenkaan kaikki - halusivat, että ehdotusta ei olisi tehty lainkaan.

Of course! This sentence in Finnish says: "However, some ministers - but not all of them - wanted that the proposal would not have been made at all."

Imagine it like this: There are some people called ministers, who are kind of like big decision makers. Some of them, but not everyone, wished that an idea (the proposal) was never even suggested.
