¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

¶ 02 I remind the Leader of the House that they came with a historic single-party majority. What we, the Opposition, request now is exactly what Hon. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake fought for on this Floor. Please do not become what you once opposed. We are not asking for favours, only for equity.

¶ 03 Thank you.
