The Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara, Attorney-at-Law - Minister of Justice and National Integration
The Minister said the Government would not introduce certain proposed Committee Stage amendments at that time because the Attorney-General had advised that some changes could not be accommodated immediately. He thanked the Chair of the Committee on Public Finance for convening it quickly and stated that the Committee would be reconvened soon to reconsider Members’ proposals and bring any necessary amendment later.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva, thank you. I appreciate how swiftly you convened the Committee on Public Finance. Many proposed amendments for Committee Stage. The Attorney-General’s advice was that certain changes—possibly including yours—cannot be accommodated at this precise moment at Committee Stage. Therefore, we do not intend to bring them today. However, since multiple Members have proposed changes, we will very quickly reconvene the Committee, reconsider your proposals, and if necessary bring an amendment expeditiously thereafter. We will not do it at today’s Committee Stage.
