Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Minister, I am satisfied. My second supplementary is a proposal rather than a question. Beyond laws, awareness and attitudinal processes matter. After research-based inquiry, with the participation and consensus of all media, we should convene a new ethical and democratic media convocation. With participation across parties and social, economic, cultural and political spheres, would you consider such a convocation?
