Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, this morning they are saying all sorts of things instead of answering our request for the two reports. Yesterday’s question—today’s answers. Our MPs are not gone anywhere; they are at the Caucus on Climate Parliament of Sri Lanka, inside this building.
