M. Nizam Kariapper briefly remarked that he had lost speaking time and had intended to address the subject in more depth. Referring to points made by Nalinda Jayathissa, he suggested, in a humorous aside, that those matters might be added to geographical indications as a special indicator for Sri Lankan Parliamentarians.

¶ 01 I have lost two minutes.

¶ 02 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, I intended to speak a little in depth on this subject. But after the Hon. Nalinda Jayathissa spoke, I felt like this: if those matters too could be added to the geographical indications and then made into a special indicator for Sri Lankan Parliamentarians, perhaps we too could apply under it—I do not know.
