Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 No, Hon. Sujeewa Senasinghe, we all accept that calorific value was low. The question is not the word, but the cause. There was an error; we must now investigate the cause. You, as politicians, assume Ministers steal, so you assign theft as cause here.
