Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva raised a point of order seeking clarification from Hon.

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I rise to a point of order.

¶ 02 Hon. Speaker, I would like to ask the Hon. Bimal Rathnayake this: He said the words “Ministry Advisory Committees” are being used instead of “Sectoral Oversight Committees.” With that change, how does the mandate differ? Or is it merely a change of name?
