Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 We are studying this and over 60 other Bills and laws. This matter is on that study list. We are currently setting up the process. Even before you raised this question, we decided to refer it to the Law Commission. In these four and a half months, that is what we have been able to do. I emphasize that we have four and a half years. If we fail to do this within that period, you can criticize us. As I said earlier, we are working on the process and its implementation; we are not trying to avoid it. We implement the proposals included in our policy statement.
