The Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe - Minister of Trade, Commerce, Food Security and Co-operative Development
The Minister requested that an Order under the Intellectual Property Act, No. 36 of 2003, previously referred to his Ministry’s Consultative Committee, also be referred to the Committee on Public Finance because it contains fees in its Second Schedule. He cited the Committee on Parliamentary Business decision of 9 May 2024 as the procedural basis, and the motion was agreed to.
