The Hon. Faiszer Musthapha, PC
Argued that references to the “Provincial Council Elections Act” should be removed from Hon. Ravi Karunanayake’s Motion because a Special Committee is already considering the modality for Provincial Council elections. He noted that both the mover and seconder agreed to the deletion and urged the House to proceed with the Motion as amended.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the House has been informed that there is already a Special Committee on the modality under which Provincial Council elections should be held. Therefore, Hon. Ravi Karunanayake has expressed willingness to remove the “Provincial Council Elections Act” from his Motion. When seconding, I too said that part should be deleted. Then there is no issue for the House; no one has a substantial reason to object. The mover asks to delete it; the seconder asks to delete it. Viewed rationally and intellectually, we should proceed by deleting the words “Provincial Council Elections Act” and taking the Motion forward.
