Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva, speaking as Chairman of the Committee on Public Finance, raised a point of order regarding the presentation of a law previously opposed by the Chair. He suggested that the document be reformatted to address eight specific points in a clear structure, noting that relevant material was included but scattered, so that the first presentation under the Act would be easier to understand.

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order as Chairman, Committee on Public Finance. When this law was introduced, you opposed it then, but now it is being presented. My suggestion is simple: there are eight points. If the document is reformatted to explain clearly against those eight points—some items are present but scattered—this first presentation under the Act would be clearer.
