Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, we fully support the Supplementary Estimate of Rs. 500 billion to assist those affected by the “BOO” cyclone. We request, with compassion, that the half-hour lunch break also be devoted to the debate so we can speak on behalf of those who lost lives, homes and livelihoods. No one will go hungry because we extend the debate by 30 minutes.
