Hon. Bimal Rathnayake acknowledged the significant public importance of COPE's findings and, speaking on behalf of the Government, called for a dedicated parliamentary debate day to allow the COPE Chair to present the report's matters for fuller analytical discussion. He formally moved that the report be printed.
Hon. Speaker, COPE performs a substantial public duty, and these revelations are important. From the Government side, we would welcome a suitable day for a full parliamentary debate so that the Chair of COPE can present these matters for analytical discussion.
I move that the said Report be printed.
