在全民退休保障一事上，政府雖然有900多億元盈餘，而根據學者的預計，其實不用928億元，如果現屆政府在開始時便想推行的話，500億元已足夠成立啟動基金，加上把所有綜合社會保障援助和長者津貼撥歸新的全民退休保障基金內便能做到。
On the issue of universal retirement protection while the Government has a surplus of over 90 billion according to the estimate of the academics actually it should take less than 92.8 billion because if the current - term Government wanted to implement this scheme at its inception 50 billion would have been sufficient for setting up a start - up fund and with Comprehensive Social Security Assistance payments and the allowances for the elderly being transferred to the new universal retirement protection fund this purpose could have been served
現在所有修正案也被否決，我們無從以這些修訂來懲罰這個不仁不義的政府，特別是財政司司長，他這份唯一在這任期內交出來的財政預算，仍然令更多市民失望，無論是基層的、最低下或中產的市民也如是。
Now that all the amendments are going to be negatived which means that we cannot make use of these amendments to punish this callous unjust Government and in particular the Financial Secretary . This one and only Budget presented by him in this term is still disappointing to many members of the public be they from the grass roots the lowest stratum of society or the middle class
我留意到主席一次又一次、完全不處理這些香港市民極為關注的問題。
I have noticed that President has time and again ignored completely these issues of great concern to the people of Hong Kong
這是聯合國人權專員公署所說的，李家超聽到嗎？
This is the comment of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has John LEE heard that?
聯合國人權專員公署已不止一次指出，警方在香港製造的暴力和傷害令國際社會極之關注，並促請北京和香港當局徹底調查。
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has stated more than once that the violence and injuries caused by the Police in Hong Kong are of great concern to the international community and have urged Beijing and Hong Kong authorities to thoroughly investigate the matters
我希望建制派及保皇黨回頭是岸，支持這項議案......
I hope the pro - establishment camp and the royalists will repent and support this motion
我真的覺得"警察拉人，法官放人"是相當難聽的一句 話，他們甚至把三權分立鞭撻成洪水猛獸。
I really find the remark the Police arrest suspects while judges release them the most unpleasant to the ears . They even lashed out at the separation of powers among the executive legislature and Judiciary as if it is a great scourge
這些不是單一的事件。
This is not an isolated incident
建制派在北京、中聯辦、立法會以至特區政府已經操控很多香港的資源和話語權，但對他們來說還不足夠，他們還要繼續傷害香港的法治。
The pro - establishment camp has already manipulated many resources and the say of Hong Kong in Beijing the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong SAR the Legislative Council as well as the SAR Government but they still find it not enough and continue to damage the rule of law in Hong Kong
這是重要的，這不是由於對張舉能或其他法官的懷疑，而是我們對整個制度表示極大的懷疑和保留。
This is important in the sense that we are not only suspicious of Mr Justice Andrew CHEUNG or other judges but we also have great suspicions and reservations about the whole system
我們今天聽到副總理劉鶴說要怎樣保存香港的"一國兩制"，他其實是在摧毀香港的"一國兩制"和法治，令香港永不超生。
Today we heard the Vice Premier Mr LIU He talk about how to maintain one country two systems in Hong Kong . He is actually damaging one country two systems and the rule of law in Hong Kong rendering Hong Kong beyond rescue
對於主要的官員，特別是涉及法治的官員，例如律政司司長鄭若驊，市民給予她最低的評分，因為無論在拘捕、執法方面也不能令市民有任何信心。
Regarding the major officials in particular those associated with the rule of law such as the Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG members of the public have given her the lowest score because she has failed to win the trust of the public in areas of arrest or law enforcement
《中華人民共和國憲法》最初不是這樣寫的，它訂明了中華人民共和國公民有言論自由、集會自由、新聞自由、選舉自由、法律訴訟自由，可惜自1949年至今也沒有落實任何一方面。
The Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China originally did not have such a provision . It only stipulated that citizens of the Peoples Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech of assembly of the press of election and of litigation . Regrettably so far none of these aspects have been implemented since 1949
主席，今次事件可以說是自香港開埠以來，最重要及最嚴重的一次建築事故。
President this is arguably the most significant and serious construction incident since the inception of Hong Kong
更加重要的是，相關的樓宇項目並不是在事後才發現，在它兩次通知屋宇署前的兩星期才剛開始發售。
More importantly the problems with the building project in question were not reported until after the incident and BD was only notified twice two weeks after the flats in the project had been put on sale
所以，我們便想問一個根本問題，為何在6月5日開售後過了兩星期，才通知你質量出現了問題呢？
For that reason we would like to ask a fundamental question Why did it take them two weeks after the launch of sale on 5 June to inform you of the quality problem?
但是，在此之前，我認為大家可以參照及弄清楚一個事實，就是即使我們取得他那張所謂放棄國籍聲明，也無法確切知道他是否擁有外國其他地方的居留權。
However before that I think we should take into consideration one fact and set it straight that is even if he can produce the so - called declaration of renunciation we still cannot be sure if he has a right of abode in other foreign countries
所以，若要徹底的做，他最少要放棄兩次，因為根據英國的移民法和國籍法，他今次提出放棄國籍，日後還可以"復活"一次，再次申請加入英國國籍。
Therefore a more radical approach is that he should at least renounce his nationality twice . Under the British immigration and nationality legislation even if he has now renounced his nationality he may have a second chance to reapply for British nationality in future
我認為，香港人的議會不能再由港英餘孽來出任我們的主席。
In my view the President of the legislature of Hong Kong can no longer be taken up by a remnant of the British - Hong Kong Administration
但是，我想大家要弄清楚，出現這個情況是因為建制派和中聯辦要統一意志，將梁君彥推上立法會主席一職，而他在法律和程序上，不能夠符合我們非建制派和眾多香港市民的要求，不能夠釋除我們的疑慮，交出一份白紙黑字的放棄英國國籍的書面聲明。
However I think we must set the fact straight . Todays predicament is attributed to the fact that the pro - establishment camp and the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have joined hands to enable Andrew LEUNG to become the President of the Legislative Council; but legally and procedure - wise he cannot meet the requirement of us non - establishment Members and many members of the public to produce an explicit written declaration of renunciation of British nationality so as to dispel our doubts
當然，這一份聲明的重要性，源於《基本法》和《議事規則》清楚列明，要成為立法會主席，必須放棄其他國籍。
Naturally the importance of this declaration originates from the Basic Law and the Rules of Procedure which clearly provide that one must renounce his other nationalities in order to be the President of the Legislative Council
所以，我認為除了法律和議事規程上的問題外，今天的爭拗本質上是一個政治問題。
Therefore I think the argument today is essentially a political issue on top of a legal and procedural one
對於這一點，我相信大家用常理分析也知道，這不大符合吳局長一直以來的行事作風。
On this point I think Members who upon rational analysis will conclude that this is indeed not quite the style of Secretary Eddie NG
大家之所以能夠有今天的位置，個人能力當然不能夠抹煞，但事實上在"三三四"教改前，我們的教育制度是漏斗式的精英教育。
Undeniably our personal capabilities have enabled us to get to the present position but in fact before the implementation of the 334education reform our education system was a funnel - like elitist system
原因是這5年，正是全面檢討整個"三三四"教改的最佳時機，但他卻沒有這樣做，反而做了一些工夫欺騙自己、欺騙他的同事及欺騙大家。
This is because the past five years is the opportune time to review the overall 334 education reform . He had nonetheless missed the opportunity and instead done something to deceive himself his colleagues and Members
前線從業員會問，這不是會增加行政工作嗎？
Frontline educators query that this will generate additional administrative work
我並非要求特首單純評論梁振英的UGL事件，而是整個特區政府和香港社會如何理解何謂利益申報。
I am not asking the Chief Executive to comment on LEUNG Chun - yings UGL incident; I am asking her how declaration of interests is understood by the entire SAR Government and the community of Hong Kong
代理主席，我們現在討論的議員議案，是促請政府制訂可持續的失業貸款政策，其實無論是原議案或修正案，在字眼上也有一些問題。
Deputy President the Members motion under discussion now urges the Government to formulate a sustainable policy on unemployment loan . In fact whether it is the original motion or the amendments there are problems with the wording
第三，因應疫情，此段時間未正式出現一些所謂生產鏈的斷裂，這是未看到的。
Third due to the situation of the epidemic the so - called breaking of the production chain has yet to formally appear in this period of time
我覺得要還原基本步，最重要是能夠維持家庭的糊口、三餐一宿，這樣相對來說就能滿足一些基層家庭的需要。
I think we have to return to the basics . It is most important to feed the family and make ends meet and this is how we can better cater to the needs of some grass - roots families
代理主席，有關"立法打擊網上虛假資訊"的議案，我認為當中的立法理據有點商榷餘地。
Deputy President regarding the motion on Enacting legislation to combat false information on the Internet I hold that the rationale behind the legislation is somewhat questionable
我沒有記錯的話，應該是《公安條例》第十幾條左右。
If my memory has not failed me they should be found somewhere beyond section 10 of the Public Order Ordinance
是因為我認為可能大家對於長期管治、如何維持社會秩序穩定的角度不一。
It is because I think that there may be different perspectives on long - term governance and methodology for maintaining a stable social order
例如在個人層面，我們一般把誹謗罪或與誹謗相關的法例放在例如假新聞或假資訊的範疇上，因為它會對個人帶來一些名聲或實際利益上的損害。
For example on the personal level we generally put the offence of defamation or legislation on defamation in the context of say fake news or false information because it would bring some damage to a persons reputation or actual interests
當然，當中要成案的話，是有些比較具體的門檻。
Of course before a case is established it is necessary to cross some specific thresholds
同時間，由於示威者不斷縱火、投擲燃燒彈和汽油彈，以及焚燒車軚等，以致釋放出大量濃煙和黑煙，直接飄入民居。
At the same time when protesters kept setting fire hurling incendiary bombs and petrol bombs burning vehicle tyres and what not huge plumes of thick and black smoke billowed into the air and drifted directly into peoples homes
主席，在疫情下，由於餐飲業處所堂食有限制和市民減少外出，市民較多購買外賣食物，即棄塑膠餐具丟棄量因而增加。
President as there are dine - in restrictions in catering outlets and members of the public have gone out less frequently amid the epidemic members of the public have made more takeaway orders resulting in an increase in the quantity of disposable plastic tableware discarded
上述情況對生態環境帶來沉重負擔。
The aforesaid situation has put a heavy burden on the ecological environment
代理主席，我相信局長也記得，他之前曾經表示，希望能夠在今年年底的時候，推行60歲至64歲2元優惠計劃的推展工作，包括向立法會申請撥款、啟動申請程序，但現在看來一切也要押後。
Deputy President I believe the Secretary also remembers his earlier statement that the extension of the 2 Scheme to people aged between 60 and 64 including seeking approval of the funding application from the Legislative Council and starting off the application procedure could hopefully be commenced by the end of this year . But now it seems that everything has to be postponed
因此，我們必須採取應對方法，不能讓有違國家及香港整體利益的人繼續散播歪理，荼毒我們的下一代，向 他們"洗腦"。
In view of this we must take countermeasures to prevent those who go against the overall interests of our country and Hong Kong from continuously spreading fallacious arguments and poisoning our next generation by brainwashing them
在《基本法》方面，政府應盡快重啟國民教育，盡快引入國情和《香港國安法》的教育。
Regarding the Basic Law the Government should expeditiously reintroduce national education in order to incorporate curriculum on national conditions and the National Security Law as soon as possible
區議員作為公職人員，亦應納入宣誓條例。
District Council members being public officers should also be covered by the oath - taking legislation
最新公布的失業率達6.6%，即有245,000人失業，創下SARS以來的新高。
The latest unemployment rate has reached 6.6 % meaning that 245 000 people are unemployed a record high since the SARS epidemic
此外，局長有否 聽到我們的想法，研究一個確實可行的方法？
Besides has the Secretary ever taken heed of our suggestion to explore a feasible approach?
特首在施政報告提到公營部門需要改革，以落實利民便民的措施。
In her Policy Address the Chief Executive mentioned the need for public sector reform with a view to implementing initiatives that could bring benefits and convenience to the public
從事賓館、旅遊、演藝馬逢國議員剛才也提到演藝界，飲食及建築等行業的人士也失業，不少受影響家庭向我們吐苦水。
Mr MA Fung - kwok also mentioned the performing arts sector just now . Many people working in the catering and construction industries have also been out of work . Many affected families have been telling us about their plight
然而，我認為香港是中國的香港，是國家不可分割的一部分。
However in my view Hong Kong belongs to China and it is an inseparable part of our country
如污水中驗出病毒或存在環境污染危機，政府便不應只進行強檢，而應隔離居民。
If virus is detected in sewage or if environmental risk is identified the Government should not only conduct compulsory testing but also put residents in quarantine
香港已回歸國家23年，今年7月踏入24年，接近四分之一個世紀。
With 23 years passed since Hong Kongs reunification with China this coming July will mark the 24 anniversary or nearly a quarter of a century of the handover
如真的出現這種情況，可否撤離區內居民？
Should this really happen can the Government evacuate residents in the neighbourhood first?
現時局長也在席，我們仍然在討 論過渡性房屋，政府可否把賓館和酒店轉為過渡性房屋？
We have been discussing transitional housing with the Secretaries who are in the Chamber now . Will the Government consider converting guesthouses and hotels into transitional housing?
海洋公園正在掙扎，希望想辦法轉型。
The Ocean Park is struggling to find ways to restructure its business operations
除海洋公園外，麻煩局長也幫特首想一想如何協助不同行業。
Apart from the Ocean Park the Secretaries are well advised to assist the Chief Executive in figuring out how to assist other industries
他們現時因涉嫌偷越邊境而被拘留在深圳市公安局鹽田分局看守所。
They are currently detained at the detention centre of the Yantian Branch of the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau for the alleged offence of crossing the boundary illegally
因此，我希望主席你能夠耐心聆聽議員的意見，然後作出裁決。
Hence I hope that you will listen to the views of the Members patiently and then make a ruling
如果在一種如此不能服眾的情況下進行立法會主席選舉，香港人是會看到的。
If the election of the President of the Legislative Council is carried out in such unconvincing conditions Hong Kong people have sharp eyes
有一個地方的天花在下雨天會嚴重滲水，滂沱大雨時更會變成"水舞間"；據聞，有個地方的便溺污水管近年曾破裂數次，導致一團糟；地方小、人又多，因此每次工作也要準備摺椅。
There is a place where there will be serious water seepage problems with its ceilings on rainy days and it even becomes The House of Dancing Water during heavy downpours . In recent years its soil pipes have also reportedly broken on several occasions turning the place into a terrible mess . Moreover folding chairs have to be improvised because it is small and crowded with people
"一個人要在多亢奮的情況下，才會要求一間電視台播放自己的金句來提升節目質素呢？
How excited was she to demand a television station to broadcast her sound bite in order to upgrade the quality of its programmes?
所以，今天的其中一個重點一定是香港電台9億多元的預算。
Hence one of the highlights today must be the 900 million or so expenditure estimate for RTHK
即使不是買樓，租樓也近乎是不可能的事情。
Even if they give up the idea of home ownership renting a flat is still almost impossible
在"總目37―衞生署"下，其中一個我比較關注的項目是皮膚科新症。
Under Head 37―Department of Health I am more concerned about the new dermatology cases
所以，說到尾，我們今天看到這些數字，而張建宗表示慶祝回歸活動的每一分、每一毫也值得花，錢是絕對值得使用，但當我們仔細研究一些分目時，便發現事實並非如此。
In the final analysis despite these figures we have seen today Matthew CHEUNG considers every penny spent on the events celebrating the reunification worthwhile
香港電台的記者要"一腳踢"，一邊錄音、一邊拍攝。
RTHK reporters are jacks - of - all - trades who can perform recording while filming
甘地有一句名言，意思是一個城市如何看待動物，取決於這個城市的文明程度。
There is a famous saying by GANDHI which suggests that the greatness of a city and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated
香港是一個文明城市，香港人關注動物生命，保障動物生命的意識越來越高，值得香港人驕傲。
Hong Kong is a civilized city Hong Kong people are concerned about animal lives and our increasing awareness about the need to protect animal lives is something we should be proud of
然而，可惜的是，香港至今仍未設立動物警察，也未訂立動物保護法，作為持份者的漁護署實責無旁貸。
However regrettably an animal police team has so far not been set up in Hong Kong an animal protection law has not yet been enacted and AFCD as a stakeholder does have an unshirkable responsibility for these
根據資料顯示，在2015-2016年度，漁護署捕捉了2,412隻狗，也人道毀滅了2,421隻狗，我也不太明白這數字從何而來。
Information reveals that 2 412 dogs were caught by AFCD in 2015 - 2016 and euthanasia was performed by the department on 2 421 dogs also in the same year and I could not quite understand how such figures were got out in the first place
經了解後得出一個結論，這亦是坊間的說法，就是但凡被漁護署捕捉的貓狗，幾乎已進入被人道毀滅的狀態。
I have tried to sort this out and have arrived at the conclusion that as suggested by some remarks circulated among the people nearly all cats and dogs caught by AFCD could not escape the fate of being euthanized
然而，現在的情況卻並非如此，一年又一年，始終還富於富，讓有權有勢的人中飽私囊，這難道是香港必須面對的情況？
However this is actually not the case now since wealth has been left to the wealthy year after year and powerful and influential people are allowed to embezzle public funds . Is this the predicament that Hong Kong is bound to face?
我真的看不到他們正在領導甚麼工作，他們只是眼巴巴看着他們理應負責的範圍的一些使用者繼續遭受不同部門的打壓。
I really fail to see what kind of leading roles officials of this Bureau have played . They just watch users of premises under their purview being continuously suppressed by different government departments
這又涉及民政事務局應處理的問題，即私人遊樂場地契約土地上的高價私人體育會所佔用公共資源的問題。
This is also a problem which the Home Affairs Bureau should handle namely the problem of public resources used by expensive private sports clubs operating on land granted under private recreational leases
一方面，局長表示沒有足夠土地，只能使用非政府機構的土地興建青年宿舍，但另一方面，他又容許多間私人會所佔用大量土地資源。
On the one hand the Secretary said that there was insufficient land and the Government could only use land provided by NGOs to build youth hostels . On the other hand he allows many private clubs to use a lot of land resources
其實，香港有不少年輕人堅持創作，香港不應該窮得只剩金融業，我們還有創作，還有很多人靠"食腦"以小博大。
In fact some young people in Hong Kong have insisted on doing creative work . Hong Kong should not be such a deplorable place where only the financial industry can survive . We still have a creative industry in which many people use their intellectual power to earn big money with little resources
局長可以感受到這些人是有心的，可以給他們一個機會，或提供政策配合，令他們得以發揮，令他們的作品不僅在香港發光，還可以在國際發光。
Then the Secretary will understand the commitment of these people and consider giving them a chance by formulating a suitable policy which will help them give full play to their talents so that their products will not only shine in Hong Kong but in the international world
如此一來，民政事務局局長自己開心，又可以創造1道旋轉門，3道旋轉門齊備之後，才可以令今天《2017年撥款條例草案》討論的其中一部分"青年"有希望。
With this approach the Secretary will be happy and he can also create a revolving door . After three revolving doors have been created there will be hope for some of the young people concerned under todays discussion on the Appropriation Bill 2017
我已經不是苛刻到說他以往做得不夠好，可以做好一些，而是他沒有說過甚麼，沒有做過甚麼事情，他做得很差，我無法期待他做得更差。
I am not being so harsh as to say that he has not performed well enough in the past and should have performed better . I am only saying that he has not said anything and has not done anything . His performance is so bad that I cannot expect him to do worse
有人會說，青年宿舍的問題與劉江華無關，他只是沒有氣魄向梁振英建議撥出多些用地專供興建青年宿舍。
Some people may say that the youth hostel problem has nothing to do with LAU Kong - wah; he just lacks the courage to suggest to LEUNG Chun - ying that more sites should be earmarked exclusively for building youth hostels
當局是在打壓這些在香港努力堅持文化創作和音樂創作的年輕朋友。
The authorities are oppressing these young people who have been trying hard to insist on cultural creation and music creation in Hong Kong
2015年，他被特首梁振英委任為嶺南大學的校董，受到學生和校友非議。
In 2015 he was appointed to the Lingnan University LU Council by Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying drawing much criticism from students and alumni
同年11月上旬，他到嶺大出席論壇，逾百名學生質詢他是否贊成廢除特首校監必然制，他沒有正面回應，更與學生舌戰連場，幾度請學生回去多讀書。
When attending a forum at LU in early November the same year he was asked by more than 100 students whether he supported abolishing the system of the Chief Executive being the ex - officio chancellor of Hong Kong universities . Instead of giving a direct response he started quarrelling with students and told them repeatedly that they should go home to study . Meanwhile some students were getting impatient and used foul language against him
當天晚上，他發聲明解釋離座是因為他認為對方言論不尊重女性，以粗言穢語羞辱女性。
That evening he issued a statement explaining why he had left the forum . He said he left because the students were disrespectful towards women and insulted them with foul language
主席，請放心，我絕對會回到議題，我並非如此低質素。
Chairman please rest assured that I will definitely return to the subject . I have set very high standards for myself as a Member
堂堂一個何君堯律師，他應記住，他以往的醜事罄竹難書。
As a distinguished lawyer Dr Junius HO should bear in mind the numerous scandals he created in the past
特首，不是每個人也好像你一樣老當益壯，我真的恭喜你。
Chief Executive not everyone is filled with vigour and vitality as you are and I have to congratulate you
主席，我當然明白這是建基於當天的撥款法案，甚至公務員薪酬調整涉及追加撥款的部分，亦早已於2017年7月16日獲財務委員會通過。
President I am well aware that the Bill is based on the previous appropriation bill and that the supplementary provision for civil service pay adjustment was approved by FC on 16 July 2017
主席，這一刻錢仍在納稅人的口袋中，我是要告訴大家，我們認為這樣撥款非常不妥當。
President at this moment the money is still in the pocket of taxpayers . I wish to tell members of the public that it is very inappropriate for funding to be approved in this way
讓我引述2020年4月14日《東方日報》頭版的報道：公園不勝負荷、疫下手術再拖、痛症病人等到癲。
Let me read out the front - page headline of Oriental Daily News on 14 April 2020 Parks overloaded surgeries delayed amid epidemic pain patients wait in long lines
社會上的窮人都很可憐，疫情前港島西聯網新症的輪候時間為3年多，而有骨痛或關節問題的骨科病人的情況更離譜，如果輪候專科門診或手術，新界西的輪候時間為7.5年。
Before the epidemic the waiting time for new case booking in the Hong Kong West Cluster was more than three years . For orthopaedic patients with bone pain or joint problems their waiting time was even longer . They had to wait for seven and a half years before they could receive specialist outpatient services or surgeries in the New Territories West Cluster
香港的貧富懸殊冠絕全球，錢往哪裏去了？
Hong Kong has the widest wealth gap in the world . Where has all the money gone?
首先，何謂追加撥款？
First of all what is supplementary appropriation?
一來，當局採用非常繁瑣的程序，令漁民申請各種牌照的時候舉步維艱。
First the authorities have established some very cumbersome procedures which make it difficult for the fishermen to apply for various types of licences
當局任由內地漁船非法進入香港水域捕魚。
The authorities allowed Mainland fishing vessels to enter Hong Kong waters illegally for fishing
較早前有傳媒報道，每天至少有50艘至100艘漁船使用破壞力極大的"蛇籠"在港捕魚，大家也知道這種籠在水底的破壞力驚人，導致漁穫減少。
According to media reports earlier on at least 50 to 100 fishing vessels use serpentine traps which are extremely destructive to conduct fishing in Hong Kong every day . We all know that such cages would wreak havoc under the sea thereby resulting in a drop in fish catch
今天，當局表示要透過《條例草案》賦予漁護署署長酌情權，很簡單，我們要看看當局以往做過甚麼工作。
Today the authorities have proposed that DAFC be conferred with the discretionary power under the Bill . It is very simple we have to look at what the authorities have done in the past
由於當局沒有提出一套具體策略，所以對當局提交的各項小修小補，我們都會問得一清二楚。
Given that the authorities have not put forward a set of specific strategies we would ask clearly about each and every minor refinement proposed by the authorities
不說不知，香港仍有一群很努力的漁民從事捕魚業。
We may not know that a group of diligent fishermen are still engaged in fishing in Hong Kong
主席，我沒有離開香港水域，也沒有離開這項議題，現在我繼續發言。
President I have not left the Hong Kong waters nor have I digressed from the subject . I would now go on with my speech
主席，本會今天審議這項《2019年漁業保護條例草案》，簡單來說，是賦予漁農自然護理署署長一項酌情權，以批准在2012年6月15日前未領有有效運作牌照漁船的登記申請。
President this Council is now scrutinizing the Fisheries Protection Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill today . Simply put the Director of Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation DAFC will be conferred with the discretionary power to approve applications for registration in respect of fishing vessels that did not possess a valid operating licence before 15 June 2012 . We can already spot the problem by simply looking at the date
結果，有漁民在上訴期間繼續捕魚，而《條例草案》就是要修補上訴期間未領有有效運作牌照而繼續捕魚的情況。
As a result some fishermen have continued their fishing operations during the period pending appeal . The Bill seeks to fix the problem that fishermen continue their fishing operations without a valid operating licence during the period pending appeal
現時推出基金並無作用，而修訂《漁業保護條例》就說要酌情為8年前未及時登記的漁民批出牌照。
The launch of the Fund has produced no effect whereas it is said that the amendments to FPO seek to grant licence on a discretionary basis to those fishermen who have not registered timely eight years ago
事實上，當局應提交一個更具體的方案，不論是資助、保護、援助也好，確實需要有援助。
In fact the authorities should put forward a more concrete plan be it subsidies protection or assistance as assistance is indeed necessary
很簡單，一定是政府"漏招"。
This is very simple . There must be negligence on the part of the Government
我經常說他們是"弱勢中的弱勢"，這叫他們情何以堪？
I often describe them as the most disadvantaged among the disadvantaged how can they face this predicament?
香港水域是任由其他漁船進入捕魚，在捕魚後就離去，政府完全是執法不力。
Hong Kong will have been surpassed by other places by then . Other fishing vessels can enter Hong Kong waters freely to conduct fishing and leave right after doing so . The authorities have been completely ineffective in its law enforcement
