Accordingly, the public can submit their opinions and suggestions on the proposed bill to the Ministry before the deadline set by the Minister.

Any individual or political parties and civil movements are able to raise their concerns pertaining to the bill, Rajapakshe added, promising that measures will be taken to table the proposed bill after obtaining the opinion of all relevant parties including the public.
