Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, as stated in our policy document, we are acting accordingly; plans are underway without any secrecy. We have clearly said we will obtain public and expert views, and Parliament will have a major role. Do not doubt this. We have not even completed our first year; four years remain. There is no need for haste. You know the condition of the country we took over; in the first year we prioritized people’s burning issues. But the policy document clearly states how we will proceed and within our term we will do it.
