就《條例草案》而言，我想特別指出，政府必須強硬執法，杜絕非法骨灰安置所濫用豁免書和暫免法律責任書等新增制度，藉以不斷拖延申領正式牌照的情況，否則《條例》只會淪為"無牙老虎"。
As far as the Bill is concerned I would like to stress in particular that the Government must enforce the law vigorously to prevent unauthorized columbaria from abusing the new system and deferring the application of a formal licence indefinitely by applying for an exemption or the issue of a temporary suspension of liability . Otherwise the Ordinance will only become a toothless tiger
我們經常說香港人對房屋需求大，但其實我們對陰宅的需求亦同樣大。
We often say that Hong Kong people have a huge demand for housing but actually the demand for housing for the dead is also great
現時，很多骨灰安置所均在違反地契或規劃用途的情況下經營。
At present many private columbaria are operating in breach of user restrictions in land leases or statutory town planning requirements
有關注團體希望法例規定營辦者成立營運基金或補償基金，以及引入銷售員發牌制度。
Some concern groups hope that the legislation can provide for the establishment of an operation or compensation fund by columbarium operators as well as the introduction of a licensing system of sales personnel
由於骨灰安置所提供的是終生服務，而且價值不菲，故此政府必須加強監管，令消費者的保障更長遠、更穩健，讓消費者的權益在過世後仍得到保障。
As the services provided by private columbaria are for life and niches are sold at expensive prices the Government must step up regulation so as to give consumers longer and more robust protection even after they pass away
最後，安置先人骨灰與家庭價值息息相關，《條例》當然有考慮到這些價值，所以在取締非法骨灰安置所後，家人可率先申領先人的骨灰，免致骨灰流離失所。
Last but not least the interment of ashes of the deceased is closely related to family values . Of course the Ordinance has given regard to such values and hence when an unauthorized columbarium is eradicated family members of the deceased are given priority to claim for the return of ashes interred in the columbarium to prevent any loss or misplacement
我會在全體委員會審議階段進一步闡釋有關的立場和理據，而我亦會提出一項有關申索人規定的修正案。
I will further explain my stance and justifications during the Committee stage . I will also propose a Committee stage amendment on the requirements of the claimant
藝人王喜以前是警察，他說過一句金句，我覺得十分中聽，他說："你穿起制服，任何一位警察犯錯，都會當作是整個警隊系統犯錯。
WONG He an artiste who used to be a policeman once said some words which impressed me very greatly Once a policeman puts on his uniform he must realize that the mistakes made by any individual officers will be regarded as the mistakes made by the whole Police Force
這是一筆相當大的撥款，亦是十分影響市民安全的撥款，因為當中涉及的裝備其實可以極具殺傷力。
This is a big provision . It is also a provision that gravely affects public safety since it involves gears that can be lethal
但是，警務處仍然拒絕回答，原因是不想公開行動部署細節。
Nevertheless the Police still refused to answer . The reason provided by them was that the Police did not wish to disclose operational deployment details
我發現專門用途的物料和設備有很多種，難道你購買甚麼盾牌，會揭露你有何行動部署嗎？
I notice that there are many kinds of specialist supplies and equipment
行動部署的細節是不能凌駕市民的安全和知情權，而其實政府購買這些大budget的裝備時，均需要招標和按照政府內部的守則，例如2月3日，政府招標購買400套戰術裝備；3月17日招標購買600萬發9毫米口徑盧格型實彈等。
The importance of operational plans and details cannot override peoples safety and their right to know . As a matter of fact when the Government procures gear involving substantial expenses it must invite tenders and proceed in accordance with its internal code of practice . For instance on 3 February the Government invited tenders for the supply of 400 Tactical Suits; and on 17 March the Government invited tenders for the supply of 6 million rounds of 9 mm Luger Ball ammunition
所以，其實當報價高於某水平，行動部署的細節可以在購買這些裝備上反映時，原來公布卻又是沒有所謂的。
In fact when the quotation is higher than a certain level details of operational plans can be reflected in the procurement of these gears . So it turns out that releasing the information is after all no big deal
所以，整個討論的核心是，政府或警務處究竟是否在政府的購買裝備的守則、內部採購守則外，便沒有任何責任公布要添置的裝備呢？
Thus the core of the entire discussion is does the Government or the Police Force have no responsibility at all to disclose its procurement of equipment apart from disclosing information in the government code of practice for equipment procurement and internal code of practice for purchasing?
事實上，不止香港關注警權的問題，由於世界各地的警方規模均在不斷膨脹，建立監察警方開支的制度是國際大趨勢。
As a matter of fact the power of police is not an issue of concern to Hong Kong only . With the incessant expansion of the size of police in many countries setting up a system to monitor expenditure of the police is now a global trend
我曾在去年11月21日去信保安局查詢有關資料，但同樣得不到回應。
I had written to the Security Bureau to enquire about the relevant information on 21 November last year . Similar to previous enquires I received no response
以胡椒球發射器為例，2004年波士頓曾經發生過胡椒球發射器致命事件，而死者並非警方的目標，但是被胡椒球穿過左眼進入腦袋而死。
There was a fatal incident involving a PepperBall launcher in Boston in 2004 . The victim was not a target of the Police . Nonetheless his death was caused by a PepperBall going through his left eye and straight into his brain
針對這個問題，我亦再次向警務處查詢，購買武器時會否就危險性和使用範圍進行獨立的評估，訂定有關守則等。
Targeting this problem I had once again enquired the Police about whether they would conduct independent assessments regarding the hazards and the scope of use of the gear as well as formulate code of practice at the time of acquisition of weapons
但是回答當然再次令人失望，警方表示在添置行動裝備前，會評估有關裝備是否適合警隊使用。
Of course the reply was once again disappointing . The Police replied that before procuring the operational gear the Force would assess if the equipment was suitable for the use of the Force
而所有說"拉布"的人，請他們詢問梁議員，他訂立的時限究竟有否空間容許我們"拉布"？
All those who accuse us of filibustering must ask Mr Andrew LEUNG whether the time limit fixed by him can allow any filibustering at all
因此我動議修正案削減這些物料及設施，直到警方能夠給予公開、透明的資料，可以向全港市民表示，究竟這些武器是會如何使用，究竟政府會如何保障市民的知情權。
Thus I have proposed an amendment to reduce these gears and equipment until the Police is able to provide open and transparent information to inform the public how actually they will use these weapons and how actually the Government will safeguard the publics right to know
這真是十分不實的言論。
Hence what they say is really unfounded
我在人事編制小組委員會，就着網罪科向網絡供應商索取資料、黑客軟件及網上巡邏3方面進行質詢，確保網罪科網上活動的紀律，以及市民網絡自由免於受到監控。
I had raised questions at the Establishment Subcommittee on three aspects namely obtaining information from network providers by CSTCB hacking software and cyber patrol with a view to ensuring discipline has been exercised in CSTCBs cyber activities and cyber freedom of the public will be free from monitoring . Unfortunately the Police were unable to dispel our doubts
針對着總目122，我其實是針對警察部門的開支，削減其一些開支的。
Regarding head 122 my target is to deduct some of the expenditure of the Police Force
因此提出這些質詢是相當合理，亦是市民共同關注的地方。
Therefore it is justified to raise these queries which are also issues of mutual concern of the general public
保安局副局長李家超亦在多次追問下，承認警方是有能力破解疑犯的手機。
When the matter was repeatedly pursued John LEE the Under Secretary for Security admitted that the Police had the ability to crack mobile phones belonging to suspects
在我發言之前，有同事說警隊貢獻良多，又說擔心批評太多會嚇怕新人入行。
According to some Members who spoke before me the Police Force has made many contributions . Some fear that too many criticisms may deter entry into the Police Force
這方面再次令人懷疑究竟警方是否引入了一些惡意軟件，一些黑客軟件，協助其執法，或甚至是在市民不知情，沒有規管情況下，侵犯了市民的私隱呢？
This has again aroused suspicion of whether the Police have adopted some malware and hacking software to assist in enforcing the law; or whether they have violated the privacy of the public in the absence of regulation and under the circumstances that the public is unaware of the situation
因為入侵系統盜取資料並不是截取通訊，而法例上的確有着此跟不上時代的漏洞。
This is because intruding a system to steal information is not interception of communications . And outdated loopholes do exist in the legislation
遊行作為市民的基本權利，是不應該被無理或過分剝奪的。
People should not be unreasonably or forcibly deprived of their basic human right of protest
這種安排是既不合邏輯，又會剝奪市民的示威權利。
Such unreasonable arrangements will deprive people of their right of protest
由此可見，《條例》賦予警方和政府極大權力，限制市民的遊行權利。
From this it can be seen that the Ordinance already gives the Police and the Government much power to restrict peoples right of protest
既然警方已有這項"惡法"，我認為根本無須再增加人手處理大型示威遊行。
I think that as the Police is already equipped with this draconian law it is honestly unnecessary to increase its manpower for handling massive protests and demonstrations
《條例》便正正是急須改變和改善的一項法例，讓香港的制度真正尊重市民的示威和集會權利。
The Ordinance is precisely a piece of legislation in dire need of amendment and improvement to give genuine respect for peoples right of protest and assembly under Hong Kongs system
例如，本港的政制必須改革、必須完善，尊重市民的選舉權和被選舉權，從而梳理社會的深層次矛盾。
For instance Hong Kongs political system must be reformed and improved to give respect for peoples rights to vote and to be elected so as to rationalize the deep - seated conflicts in society
中環每天會有一種奇景，便是每數輛名貴跑車駛過後，便會看到一名長者撿拾紙皮及鐵罐。
We always see this awkward scene in Central every day . After the passage of a few luxurious sports cars we can see an elderly person scavenging cardboards and tin cans
今年禮賓處的開支預算高達1億元，上升近5,180萬元。
The estimated expenditure for PD in the upcoming year is as much as 100 million registering an increase of 51.8 million
禮賓處在未來1年的開支預算會上升，"主要由於接待訪港參加香港特區成立二十周年慶祝活動的顯要人物、人事變動和員工薪酬遞 增，令所需撥款增加"。
The estimated expenditure for PD will increase in the upcoming year and [t]his is mainly due to increased provision for providing hospitalities to dignitaries visiting Hong Kong for the 20 Anniversary of the Establishment of the HKSAR staff changes and salary increment for staff
同時，警隊亦是實際人數最多的政府部門，共3萬多人。
At the same time the Polices establishment is the largest in all government departments totalling some 30 000 staff members
在過去一段時間，不同的國際組織，包括美國"國會及行政當局中國委員會"，也發表過很多有關香港的報告。
For a period of time in the past various international organizations including the Congressional - Executive Commission on China CECC of the United States have published a number of reports on Hong Kong
美國"國會及行政當局中國委員會"，在上年發表了一份年報，當中有關香港的章節，便提到北京政府和中共過去1年對香港的干預增加，亦特別提到年初的銅鑼灣書店事件損害"一國兩制"，令人憂慮北京政府有否違反香港的自治及法 治。
In the annual report published last year by CECC a chapter on Hong Kong mentioned the growing interference in Hong Kong by the Beijing Government and the Communist Party of China CPC over the past year and in particular the damage done to one country two systems by the occurrence of an incident involving a bookstore called Causeway Bay Books early last year . As a result there was concern about whether the Beijing Government had violated the autonomy of and rule of law in Hong Kong . In fact the relevant conclusion was made not only in the report compiled by CECC
試問如此的一個律政司司長，又怎會值得我們向他支付每個月34萬元的薪酬呢？
How is such a Secretary for Justice worth to be paid a monthly emolument of 340,000?
我實在看不到他有一刻打算捍衞"高度自治"、"港人治港"的原則。
Actually I have not seen him for one moment show any intention to uphold the principles of a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong
但香港政府卻與中共合謀，其幫兇的身份昭然若揭。
However the Hong Kong Government colluded with CPC and its role as an accomplice was pretty obvious
在釋法中，人大常委會無限僭建宣誓要求，完全違反普通法演繹憲法的原則。
In the interpretation NPCSC imposed infinite oath - taking requirements as in the case of illegal building structures in complete violation of the principle of interpreting the constitution with common law
我們回看《基本法》第一百五十八條，其實釋法權力即使是在人大常委會，運用此權力時也需要符合程序，釋法才可以說是符合《基本法》的規定。
Coming back to Article 158 of the Basic Law even though the power of interpretation is vested in NPCSC the exercise of such power must be constitutional before the interpretation is deemed compliant with the provisions of the Basic Law
我們的終審法院有提請人大常委會就《基本法》第一百零四條作出解釋嗎？
Did our Court of Final Appeal seek an interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law by NPCSC?
這次釋法正正脫離了《基本法》第一百五十八條的規定，亦令香港的法制嚴重受損，法治步入寒冬。
The interpretation this time around has precisely deviated from the requirement stipulated in Article 158 of the Basic Law thereby inflicting severe damage on Hong Kongs legal system and the rule of law has already begun to sink
日後，當後人回顧這段歷史時，就會知道當天任由中共肆意釋法，踐踏選民意願的律政司司長，就是袁國強。
When our descendants review history in future they will find out Rimsky YUEN was the Secretary for Justice who let CPC interpret the Basic Law and trample on the wishes of voters wantonly
如果大家熟悉軟件，上述的情況就好像軟件中放置了一個後門程式，在有政治需要的時候，可以讓北京政府任意伸手修改本地的一些法制、制度，從而令香港的一些政治事件能夠隨北京政府所欲而發生，這正是香港律政司司長應該要強烈反對的地方。
If Members are well versed in software they will understand that the aforesaid situation is like the inclusion of a backdoor programme in software . Should political needs arise the Beijing Government may extend its hand to revise certain legal systems and other systems in Hong Kong so that some political incidents will occur in Hong Kong according to the wishes of the Beijing Government . This is precisely the point which the Secretary for Justice in Hong Kong should strongly oppose
據說，這個新的資料庫提供法例的經核證文本，可供直接提交法庭使用。
It is reported that this new database will provide copies of verified legislation for direct submission to the Court
工作完成之後，市民就可以輕易下載及列印整項法例。
Upon the completion of the work members of the public will be able to download and print an entire piece of legislation easily
可是，工作進度這麼緩慢，我想問公帑是否用得其所呢？
However given such a slow progress may I ask if public funds have been put to good use?
假如每年撥備如此大的開支都無法好好處理一個法律系學生、律師甚至立法會議員也迫切需要的系統，我覺得是浪費公帑。
I will consider it a waste of public funds should the annual provision for such an enormous expenditure can still not deal with the system urgently required by every laws student lawyer and even Legislative Council Member
中國人民非常需要民主，因為只有民主，抗戰才有力量......
The Chinese people were in dire need of democracy
其實，八三一框架正正是北京政府和香港政府在不改變其威權政體的情況下，如何在香港合法地施行暴政。
In fact the 31 August framework was exactly an attempted legitimization of the Beijing Government and the Hong Kong Governments tyranny in the city without altering the authoritarian nature of their power
只有加上民主，中國才能前進一步。
Only democracy can bring China further forward
中國現時由民族主義和經濟利益捆綁在一起，所謂已經團結，但在1944年，即毛澤東尚未做出很多為人詬病、甚至反人類歷史的罪行前，他說過中國要有民主才能前進一步，其實這說話應用在香港也一樣。
Behind the so - called unity China is in fact bundled by nationalism and economic interests . However in 1944 before MAO Zedong committed all the widely condemned crimes against humanity he said that China needed democracy before it could move a step forward . In fact this applies to Hong Kong too
但是，我想說，民主根本便是利益的分配，即使說再多的政策，假如沒有向市民問責的政府，這些政策只不過是杯水車薪，不能解決香港的深層次問題。
However I would like to state that the fundamental spirit of democracy is allocation of interests in society . Without a government responsible to the people the deep - rooted problems in Hong Kong will never be solved no matter how many policies are implemented as relying simply on these policies will never suffice
假設在席的蔣麗芸議員和李議員參加世界跑步比賽，誰人勝出便是世界冠軍，然後國家便會說中國多了一個世界冠軍，很光榮，這是一種造假文化。
Suppose Dr CHIANG Lai - wan and Ms LEE both present now participate a world jogging championship and the winner between them will be crowned champion of the world . Then the country will claim that another world champion has emerged in China bragging about the honour . This is in fact a culture of counterfeiting
只要政府仍然能夠透過提名控制選舉，民主便不可能落地生根。
Democracy cannot take root in Hong Kong as long as the Government can manipulate the election via the nomination procedure
香港其實是其中一個最浪費食水的城市，全球人均耗水量是110公升，而香港人足足用了132公升，瓶裝水使用量更列全球十大最高，可見香港浪費食水或水資源規劃的問題，都是非常迫切需要重視的。
Hong Kong is actually one of the many metropolises which wastes a huge amount of tap water . The global water consumption per capita is 110 litres but Hong Kong people have consumed 132 litres per capita daily . Its bottled water consumption rate is among the top ten highest in the world
減少購買東江水，當然可以協助政府減少浪費公帑，保障庫房。
The reduction in the purchase of Dongjiang water will certainly help the Government to minimize wastage of public funds and safeguard the public coffers
然而，香港水資源當然不單是東江水的問題，這點剛才很多議員都說過了，而香港真正的水資源問題，就是整個規劃都出現很大問題。
Nevertheless the issue concerning the water resources of Hong Kong does not limited to the issue of Dongjiang water and Members have already spoken on that just now . Hong Kongs actual problem of water resources is about the overall planning
接下來，我會分幾點說出香港現有的問題。
Next I will expound on a number of Hong Kongs existing problems
在2006年至2012年期間，香港水塘溢流量高達2,900萬立方米，等於將整個大欖涌水塘的水倒進大海。
During the period from 2006 to 2012 the volume of reservoir overflow was as high as 29 million cu m which was tantamount to discharging the water of the entire Tai Lam Chung Reservoir to the sea
第二，完善香港自然及河流規劃。
Second we should improve the planning of Hong Kongs nature and rivers
可是，政府現在開始有聲音說要開發郊野公園，這跟保護水資源這重要的戰略方向背道而馳。
However now there are voices from the Government that these country parks have to be developed which are running in opposite direction to the important and strategic direction of protecting our water resources
水務署負責"收水"，渠務署"放水"，但當中可能有管理的失誤，結果導致中游河流斷水，河流生態也因此受破壞。
So WSD is responsible for collecting the water and DSD is responsible for discharging the water . But there is perhaps some management mistakes in between the two which may cause a stop in the flow at the middle stretches of a river and the ecology of rivers is therefore damaged
第三，增加海水化淡技術。
Third we should step up the desalination technology
天然資源究竟在我們的地球和我們的生活中扮演甚麼角色？
What kind of role the natural resources are playing on earth and in our daily lives?
《香港氣候行動藍圖2030+》亦提出了我剛才所說的重點。
The Hong Kongs Climate Action Plan 2030 has also pointed out the key points I have just mentioned
總括而言，水資源除了涉及政治外，其實也關乎城市規劃和環境生態的問題。
All in all besides the involvement of politics water resources also involve town planning and ecological issues
我們今天辯論的是毛孟靜議員提出的議案，就是"港人港水"，以期提升香港本身水源的自給率。
Today we are debating on the motion proposed by Ms Claudia MO that is Hong Kong people using Hong Kong water with a view to augmenting the self - sufficiency rate of Hong Kongs water supply
中聯辦張曉明經常"撐"他。
However the Director of the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in Hong Kong ZHANG Xiaoming often supports LEUNG Chun - ying
張曉明昨天在一個論壇上說，"特區政府在就業、學業、創業、置業大有所為"，簡直是狗屁不通。
In a conference held yesterday ZHANG Xiaoming said The SAR Government has made great efforts in promoting employment improving education encouraging business start - ups and facilitating home ownership . That is nonsensical
兩年後，如果他做得好，便不用他下台；如果做不好，屆時才要他下台。
If he performed well for the first two years he did not have to step down; otherwise we should demand him to step down
如果說他5年以來做得好，簡直是開玩笑。
It would be a joke if one says that he has performed well in these five years
她說我們掀起倒梁鬥爭，顏色先行。
She said we were starting a political struggle against LEUNG and colour was the prime concern
過去5年，香港政治被他搞臭、拖垮，李慧琼議員現在竟然說我們掀起倒梁鬥爭？
In the past five years the political situation of Hong Kong has been stained and ruined by him . How can Ms Starry LEE now say that we are waging political struggle against LEUNG?
當然，在國家領導人到訪灣仔時，灣仔便可能變成最安全的地方。
Certainly when state leaders visit Wan Chai Wan Chai may be the safest place instead
會議廳內的立法會議員應秉承責任，為社會帶來這個正面的震盪，從而達到何君堯議員所說的撥亂反正。
Members of the Legislative Council who are present in this Chamber should take up their responsibility to cause such a positive uproar in society so that the mistakes can be rectified using the words of Dr Junius HO
在場的"長毛"議員和我現正面對政治打壓。
Long Hair who is now present and I are being politically suppressed
我不知道那篇網誌是由梁振英親筆撰寫，還是由馮煒光代筆，但那篇網誌 行文虛怯，轉移焦點的技巧拙劣，可見撰文者文化水平相當低，簡直令香港人蒙羞，亦反映梁振英內心多麼虛怯，多麼害怕被人調查。
Anyway the tone is panicky and the shifting of focus is unskillful . All these reflect that the writer has a very low cultural level . It can even be said that the blog brings shame to Hong Kong people and it reflects that LEUNG Chun - ying is panicky deep down and he is very afraid to be subject to inquiry
基於公眾利益，我們沒有理由不支持成立調查委員會，調查整件事件。
For the sake of public interest there is no reason why we should not support the motion to form an independent investigation committee to investigate the whole matter
在內地航空業蓬勃發展下，飛機出租商近年已趨向把業務遷至亞洲地區，令區內的飛機租賃業務增長特別顯著。
It has become a trend for lessors to move their businesses to Asia in recent years and this driven mainly by growth in the aviation sector on the Mainland
可想而知，就今次這發展，很多香港大財團、大企業家已經摩拳擦掌，而政府這條例的確會配合，或者跟他們的行動互相促進，互相影響。
It is obvious that many local large consortia and entrepreneurs are already fully geared towards the market . It is true that this Bill will facilitate these investment moves . Or to put it another way they are promoting and influencing each other
政府自己都承認，香港現時的飛機租賃業務並沒有明顯存在。
Even the Government has confessed that up to now there is not a strong presence of aircraft leasing business in Hong Kong
我們是否能夠在沒有其他配套的情況 下，單憑一條條例便可以把飛機租賃業務引進香港呢？
Without other support measures is it possible for us to lure the aircraft leasing business into Hong Kong simply by the enactment of a single bill?
但是，沒有說明其他推動飛機租賃業務的發展。
However there is no mention of any other initiatives for the promotion of the aircraft leasing business
在第二十年所帶來的直接和間接得益，包括直接僱用約1,640人，僱員開支約20億港元，飛機租賃公司在第二十年繳付的利得稅約為10億港元，而在該20年間繳付的利得稅總額超過100億元。
This means the direct employment of around 1 640 people and about HK2 billion in staff compensation in Year 20 and the profits tax paid by aircraft leasing companies of about HK1 billion in Year 20 and a total of more than HK10 billion over a 20 - year period
但是，正如陳志全議員剛才也提到，其實大家對這些數據是有些存疑，並有所保留。
But as Mr CHAN Chi - chuen has said just now we are indeed cautious about the reliability of the figures and thus have reservation
而政府亦沒有提供其他的資料，顯示如何得出上述的數據。
Despite this the Government has not provided any further information to show us how these figures were arrived at . There were cases where the Government wrongly assessed the development potential of individual industries
在2008年取消紅酒稅後，香港的葡萄酒進口迅速增加。葡萄酒進口總值由2007年的16億港元，增加至2016年的120億港元，增幅超過7倍。
Following the abolition of the red wine duty in 2008 we have witnessed a surge in wine import into Hong Kong a more than sevenfold increase in the total value from HK1.6 billion in 2007 to HK12 billion in 2016
愛爾蘭在過去30年一直位處飛機租賃市場的龍頭位置，而新加坡則在過去10年推出一些便利措施，吸引飛機租賃商落戶。
Ireland has been the leader in the aircraft leasing market over the past 30 years while Singapore started to introduce facilitation measures 10 years ago to attract aircraft leasing operators to establish their presence in the lion city
世界最大的10間飛機租賃公司，有一半以上的總部設在愛爾蘭。
More than half of the worlds top 10 aircraft leasing companies are headquartered in Ireland
究竟香港可以如何發揮本身的優勢，可以令未來正如推動香港航空融資聚焦小組般樂觀，得到這麼多的競爭優勢呢？
How can Hong Kong give full play to its edge to build up its competitive advantage as the Focus Group has optimistically envisaged?
似乎政府需要向公眾和立法會多作講解。
It seems that the Government needs to further elaborate this to the public and the Legislative Council
最後，政府如果因為提供這些稅務減免而表示沒有錢可供扶助其他市民，而經濟成果卻落入有錢人的口袋裏，這樣的稅務政策，究竟是否政府想發展的方向呢？
Ultimately because of these tax reduction measures the Government may run out of money to provide assistance to members of the public . Should such a taxation policy which allows the rich to pocket all financial gains the Governments development direction?
第二，當局在2017年3月得悉，有害稅收實踐論壇在確定優惠稅務制度是否具潛在損害性時，會就分隔安排採取非常嚴謹及狹隘的定義，如果我們未能回應經合組織對損害性稅務措施的關注，將會影響香港作為國際金融中心的聲譽。
Secondly the Government was informed in March 2017 that the Forum on Harmful Tax Practice would adopt a rigid and narrow interpretation on the ring - fencing factor when determining whether a preferential tax regime was potentially harmful . Failure to address OECDs concerns about harmful tax practices will jeopardize Hong Kongs reputation as an international financial centre
第三，歐盟將於2017年年底制訂不合作稅務管轄區名單，損害性的稅務措施會是歐盟其中一項關注，而被列為不合作的稅務管轄區或會遭受國際抵制措施。
Thirdly the European Union will draw up a list of non - cooperative tax jurisdiction by the end of 2017 and the existence of harmful tax measures is one of its concerns . A jurisdiction listed as non - cooperative could be subject to defensive measures
上述理由自2015年、2016年以至2017年年初已開始聽聞，而香港也一直表示會落實這些方案，所以政府沒有可能在草擬修訂條文時不清楚有關原則。
We have learned about the reasons cited above since 2015 2016 and even the beginning of 2017 Hong Kong has also indicated its commitment to implementing the relevant measures and the Government should know about the latest requirement of OECD very well when the amendment provisions were drafted
當局的目的是要透過稅務寬減措施，吸引更多飛機租賃業務在香港發展，而剛才也提到是要針對新加坡和愛爾蘭市場，驗證可否搶佔更多市場份額。
The Government is trying to attract the development of more aircraft leasing businesses in Hong Kong through the introduction of tax concession measures and it has also been mentioned just now that such measures are introduced to ascertain if we can seize more market shares in the respective markets of Singapore and Ireland
當時政府如何回應呢？
How did the Government respond to the question then?
