The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake stated that the reference to the “Provincial Council Elections Act” should be removed from the motion, as indicated by the mover and seconder, and said this could be addressed when framing the terms of reference. He supported proceeding separately because a Special Committee on Provincial Council elections already exists.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the mover Hon. Ravi Karunanayake, and the seconder, have said that the part “Provincial Council Elections Act” will be removed and the Motion presented and seconded accordingly. We will agree to that at the stage of framing the TOR. We do not need to do everything under one Committee because there is already a separate Special Committee on Provincial Council elections. So let us proceed in this way.
