2026-02-18

## Summary The speech by Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake is largely procedural in nature, with the member clarifying to the Speaker that his remarks were directed at both sides of the House rather than any single party, and asserting that he did not refer to any party by name. A portion of the speech was expunged on the order of the Chair, limiting the available content for full contextual analysis.

Mr. Speaker, I addressed both sides, not just one. [Expunged on the order of the Chair.] I did not mention any party by name.
