The Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe
Wasantha Samarasinghe stated that the relevant measure should be phased out in an orderly, systematic manner rather than removed abruptly. He argued that sudden removal could disrupt the supply of rice to the market and harm farmers, and said the approach should protect both farmers and consumers.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 It should be removed, but in an orderly manner. As you yourself said earlier, it must be removed with a system. If removed abruptly, rice cannot be brought to the market in that way, and then the farmer will have a problem. We are doing this while protecting both the farmer and the consumer.
