Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please grant me one more minute, Hon. Presiding Member.
¶ 02 If reconciliation, accountability, and reintegration are to materialize, a new Constitution is necessary. While the Government claims it will bring one, Members have repeatedly stressed that it is essential for resolving the national question and improving the economy. I urge focus on these matters. Thank you.
