Hon. Rasamanickam raised a point of order under Standing Orders 102, 103, and 104, noting his inclusion in the Parliamentary Select Committee on Provincial Council Elections. He acknowledged that the PSC, chaired by Minister Wijitha Herath, had been constituted approximately two months after the motion was presented on 6 January, and expressed satisfaction at its formation. He requested that the committee's first sitting be scheduled within the following parliamentary week and proposed that the twelfth member be Opposition MP and former Minister Hon. Faizer Mustapha.

Sir, I rise to a point of order under Standing Orders 102, 103 and 104, as my name has been included in the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Provincial Council Elections. The motion to appoint a PSC on the provincial council electoral system was presented on 6 January. Nearly two months have passed. I am pleased the Committee has now been appointed under Minister Wijitha Herath. I thank the Government for constituting it. I request that its first sitting be scheduled in the next parliamentary week and that the 12th member be an Opposition MP—our former Minister Hon. Faizer Mustapha.
