Hon. Ravi Karunanayake questioned the relevance of linking a separate issue—concerning the U.S. Treasury Secretary’s statement on the disclosure of agreements with 17 countries—to the debate before Parliament on a Resolution under the Customs Ordinance. He asked how that matter was being connected procedurally to the subject currently under discussion.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Today’s subject is the discussion on the Resolution under the Customs Ordinance; how is this being linked to that? This was raised as a separate Question. The U.S. Treasury Secretary made a statement that 17 countries’ agreements will be disclosed this week. I expect that they will disclose that today. However, the matter before this august House today is the debate on the Resolution under the Customs Ordinance. I wish to know how that is being connected to this.
