¶ 01 I will conclude, Hon. Deputy Chairperson.

¶ 02 We hope the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation’s disc/tape archive, its valuable music library, and all equipment used since its inception will be curated into a museum that children of our country and foreign visitors can view. While generating some income, it will showcase its value to our people and the world. Accordingly, we have a work plan and a vision. With the provisions allocated in this Budget, we look forward to advancing this journey over the year together with media professionals toward exemplary media governance.
