這當然包括我們與美國就產地來源的爭論，已提升至世界貿易組織處理，並已啟動爭端解決機制。
These reactions certainly include bringing our dispute with the United States concerning place of origin to the higher level of the World Trade Organization and activating the dispute resolution mechanism concerned
過去數年，大家都看到我們和貿易夥伴簽署的自由貿易協議倍增至8份，涉及20個經濟體。
Members would have noticed that the number of Free Trade Agreements we signed with our trading partners in the past few years has doubled to eight involving 20 economies
投資協定方面，亦涉及22份協定及31個經濟體。
In addition 22 Investment Agreements involving 31 economies have been signed
這些都為業界提供一個較可確定的投資和經貿環境。
These Agreements have provided a more certain investment and business environment for the trades
我們必然會維護"一國兩制"下，尤其是《基本法》賦予我們單獨關稅地區的地位或特別的經貿身份，以確立我們於國際貿易間的平台。
We will certainly safeguard our status as a separate customs territory or special economic and trade status provided under one country two systems and in particular by the Basic Law to reinforce our position in the platform of international trade
在這方面，整個團隊，特別是透過經貿辦事處和政府新聞處，我們會繼續做好有關工作去維護香港權益，同時給予國際社群一個正面的信息。
In this regard our whole team will continue with these efforts to protect Hong Kongs interests and convey a positive message to the international community
特首於第37段很清楚表示，我們的發展策略，就注入經濟新動力方面，希望秉承和強調發揮"一國兩制"的獨特優勢、積極融入國家發展大局。
The Chief Executive has stated clearly in that paragraph that our overall strategy for injecting a new impetus to our economy will emphasize on continuing to leverage our unique advantages under one country two systems and integrating proactively into national development
在推動自由貿易和維護市場經濟的兩個大前提下，擔當"促成者"和"推廣者"角色，與企業同行，開拓更大市場，並協助專業服務提供者走出香港。
While promoting free trade and maintaining our market economy the HKSAR Government is committed to playing the role of a facilitator and promoter and will join hands with enterprises to explore more market opportunities and assist professional service providers to go beyond Hong Kong
如果市面環境不安全，確實會令很多展覽的準備工作都付諸流水。
If it is not safe in the streets it will indeed render a lot of preparation work for exhibitions in vain
主席，多謝謝偉俊議員的質詢，連月來持續的示威衝突引致社會秩序和治安受損，旅客人數大跌，本地消費受到打擊，加上外圍經濟不利因素，嚴重影響本港經濟，旅遊及相關行業更首當其衝，受到重創。
The persisting protests and social unrest in recent months have resulted in disruption to law and order thereby causing a dramatic drop in the tourist arrivals . Local consumption has also been hit hard . Coupled with the austere external economic environment the Hong Kong economy has been seriously affected while the tourism and related sectors have in particular suffered a heavy blow
與此同時，在現行機制下，地政總署一般會根據短期租約條款每3年為每份租約進行一次租金檢討，以反映最新的市值租金水平。
Meanwhile under the existing mechanism LandsD generally conducts rent review for each STT every three years according to the tenancy conditions to reflect the latest level of market rent
署方於今年9月曾經將檢討結果通知租戶，儘管如此，考慮到當前的經濟和社會情況，地政總署已通知該等租戶暫時無須理會有關檢討結果，以便署方作進一步審視安排。
LandsD informed the tenants of the rent review result in September this year . Nonetheless having considered the current economic and social situation LandsD has informed the tenants concerned that there is no need to pay regard to the rent review result for the time being for LandsDs further review on the arrangement
換句話說，19個租戶目前不用面對原建議的6.6%租金調整。
In other words the 19 tenants are currently not subject to the rent increase of 6.6 % as originally proposed
三 鯉魚門是香港受歡迎的旅遊景點之一，極具香港傳統漁村特色。
3 Characterized as a traditional fishing village LYM is one of the popular tourist spots in Hong Kong
香港旅遊發展局一直透過不同的渠道，例如網站、旅客諮詢中心及旅遊熱線等，向旅客推介鯉魚門多元化的旅遊特色和獨特體驗，當中包括附近一帶的特色景點，例如鯉魚門海鮮美食村及賽馬會鯉魚門創意館。
The Hong Kong Tourism Board HKTB has been promoting the diverse tourism appeal and unique experiences of LYM including the nearby attractions such as the seafood village and the Jockey Club Lei Yue Mun Plus through different channels including website visitor centres visitor hotline etc
此外，為更充分發揮鯉魚門海旁景致和海鮮美食的優勢，旅遊事務署一直積極推行"鯉魚門海旁改善計劃"，進一步改善鯉魚門海旁一帶的設施。
Besides with a view to enhancing the attractiveness of LYM as a seafood - dining destination with its pleasant seaside ambience the Tourism Commission has been actively pursuing the implementation of the Lei Yue Mun Waterfront Enhancement Project to improve facilities along LYM waterfront
旅發局屆時亦會配合改善計劃繼續向旅客推廣鯉魚門多元化的旅遊體驗。
HKTB will continue to promote the diverse tourism appeal of LYM to tourists alongside with the LYM Project
儘管如此，在艱難的時候，我們亦要繼續推行不同方面的工作：第一方面，現時全球40個國家已對香港發出旅遊提示，我們會繼續與這些國家聯絡，向它們發布一些正確的資訊及事實。
Having said that we must continue to carry out our work in different aspects at this difficult time First presently 40 countries over the world have issued tourist advice on Hong Kong we will keep on liaising with these countries and provide them with some accurate information and facts
第二方面，很重要的一點是，即使遊客人數下跌，但現時仍有一定數目的遊客來港，當中很多既是遊客，亦是經商。
respectively . Second it is very important that despite a drop in the tourist arrivals a certain number of tourists are still coming to Hong Kong among which many of them are tourists - cum - businessmen
我們現時與業界共渡時艱，基本上會朝3個方向着手，其中之一就是銀根周轉。
We will basically work in three directions in a bid to ride out the difficulties with the industry in the meantime one of which is the cash flow and liquidity problems
有關法律是美國本身的一項政策法案，並非一項國際或雙邊的協議。
The relevant law is a policy act of the US itself but not an international or bilateral agreement
多年來，美國按《政策法》與香港進行經貿往來，尊重香港作為一個單獨的關稅地區，並以此建立雙邊互惠的經貿關係。
Over the years the US has been conducting economic and trade exchanges with Hong Kong in accordance with the Policy Act has been respecting Hong Kong as a separate customs territory and has on this basis established mutually beneficial bilateral economic and trade relations with Hong Kong
根據美方統計，過去10年，美國在香港賺取的貿易順差是其全球貿易夥伴中最高的，單在2018年已達338億美元。
According to the USs statistics for the past 10 years the US has been enjoying the largest trade surplus with Hong Kong among its many global trading partners valued at US33.8 billion in 2018 alone
此外，現時有1,344家美國駐港公司，其中278家是地區總部， 另約有85,000名美國人在港居住，雙方緊密而互惠的關係，顯而易見。
Moreover there are 1 344 US companies in Hong Kong of which 278 are regional headquarters . Separately around 85 000 US citizens live in Hong Kong . The close and reciprocal bilateral relation between the two places is obvious
由此可見，美國國會單方面通過《香港人權與民主法案》，此舉既無必要，亦勢必損害雙方互惠的關係，包括美國的利益。
Therefore passage of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act by the US Congress unilaterally is unnecessary and will certainly damage the mutually beneficial relationship including the USs interests
特區政府會密切注視有關發展。
The HKSAR Government will closely monitor development on the matter
《基本法》第四條訂明，香港特別行政區依法保障香港特別行政區居民和其他人的權利和自由。
Article 4 of the Basic Law stipulates that the HKSAR shall safeguard the rights and freedoms of the residents of the HKSAR and of other persons in the Region in accordance with law
除了《基本法》外，人權和自由在香港也受到《香港人權法案條例》及其他法律的充分保障。
Human rights and freedoms in Hong Kong are fully protected by the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance and other legislation in addition to the Basic Law
就特區政府的解說工作，政府一直透過訊息互通、官員互訪、參與國際會議，以及各駐海外經濟貿易辦事處的恆常工作，向外說明香港自回歸以來成功落實"一國兩制"，推廣香港在《基本法》和"一國兩制"下享有獨特的地位和香港自身多方面的優勢。
As for explanatory work the HKSAR Government has been explaining to countries around the world the successful implementation of one country two systems since our return to the Motherland and promoting Hong Kongs unique status under the Basic Law and one country two systems as well as our own various advantages . Such work is done through exchanges of information reciprocal official visits participation in international conferences and the regular liaison of the overseas Economic and Trade Offices ETOs
行政長官、我和經貿辦人員亦多次致函美國各界人士，清楚和詳細闡述特區政府的立場。
The Chief Executive myself and officers of ETOs have written many times to various interlocutors in the US to explain clearly and in detail the HKSAR Governments position
未來，特區政府會從以上多方面繼續做好加強香港對外聯繫的工作。
Looking ahead the HKSAR Government will continue to strengthen external connections on the above aspects
我們一直以來均是以事實為根據，尤其是香港最近發生的暴力衝突等，向所有海外夥伴清楚解釋香港的情況。
We have always explained clearly the situation in Hong Kong in particular the recent violent conflicts in Hong Kong to all our overseas partners based on facts
因此，我們不同意這樣做，亦反對任何會影響兩地之間關係和利益的措施。
Hence we do not agree to this and oppose any measures that will affect the relationship and interests between Hong Kong and the US
因此，我們的駐海外辦事處人員在接觸當地人士或機構時，必定會根據事實，向對方全面解說香港的情況，這亦是香港長久以來與所有貿易夥伴之間關係的基礎。
Therefore staff of our overseas ETOs will definitely provide comprehensive explanations on the situation in Hong Kong based on facts when they come into contact with local people or organizations . This is also the long - standing basis upon which Hong Kong has established its relations with all trading partners
《基本法》第一百一十六條訂明，香港特別行政區是單獨的關稅地區；第一百五十一條亦訂明，香港可以以"中國香港"的名義參與世界貿易組織和亞太區經濟合作組織等國際組織作為單獨成員。
Article 116 of the Basic Law stipulates that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR is a separate customs territory and Article 151 provides that Hong Kong may using the name Hong Kong China participate in international organizations such as the World Trade Organization WTO and the Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation as a separate member
部分舊樓甚至不具備條件，無法按照當局要求設置消防設備。
Some old buildings even have practical difficulties in terms of installing the required fire service equipment
梁議員建議參照"樓宇更新大行動"，推出"消防安全更新大行動"。
Dr LEUNG suggested that the Government should make reference to the Operation Building Bright and launch an operation for fire safety improvement
據我理解，她建議參考"樓宇更新大行動"對業主的援助模式，幫助年老且資金不足的業主，解決大廈消防設施和諮詢的問題。
As I understand it her suggestion is about providing assistance to property owners along the approach of Operation Building Bright so as to help elderly owners with financial difficulties install the required fire service equipment and provide them with advice
除了鼓勵業主自行申請，香港房屋協會和市區重建局亦應主動聯繫"三無大廈"的業主，提供專業知識，組織業主進行維修，為業主解決招標和投標的困難。
Apart from encouraging owners to take the initiative to apply for subsidies the Hong Kong Housing Society and the Urban Renewal Authority URA should proactively liaise with owners of three - nil buildings and provide them with professional advice help them organize maintenance works and resolve difficulties in tender preparation and tendering
主席，我注意到議案談及大廈管理專業顧問服務計劃，據了解，這項計劃是由兩間專業物業管理公司負責，其中一個目的是協助"三無大廈"的居民解決消防問題，服務範圍包括逐戶探訪、協助成立法團、出席法團會議及支援文書工作、協助申請樓宇維修資助及貸款計劃、跟進維修工程，以及培訓業主參與大廈管理工作等。
President I note that the Building Management Professional Advisory Service Scheme Scheme has been mentioned in the motion . As far as I know two property management companies have been engaged under the Scheme for the purpose of inter alia helping the residents of three - nil buildings resolve issues of fire safety . The scope of services provided under the Scheme includes conducting household visits facilitating the formation of OCs attending the OC meetings to provide secretarial support assisting owners to apply for various loan and funding schemes for building maintenance works following up on building maintenance works and providing training to owners for participating in building management work
主席，面對大量安裝消防設施困難的舊樓，我贊同政府應該酌情處理，並制訂過渡措施，例如，要求樓宇最低限度在當眼處擺放滅火器或利用街道消防喉等。
President I support that discretion should be exercised by the Government in handling old buildings which have great difficulties in installing fire service installations and equipment . Moreover interim measures should be formulated for example requiring owners to at least put fire extinguishers in conspicuous locations in the buildings or make use of street hydrants
很簡單，有防火設施總較沒有防火設施好，有了標準較低的消防措施，日後便可以因應技術進步安裝新措施。
To put it simply it is always better to have fire service equipment than not . After fire service equipment of a lower standard has been installed owners can upgrade the same later taking into account technological advancements
我相信這較強迫遵辦或消極等待遵辦更為有效。
I believe that this approach will be more effective than forcing or waiting passively for owners to comply
我也同意應該在適當時候修改現行法例。
I also agree that amendments should be made to the existing legislation in due course
主席，自從《消防安全條例》在2007年生效，消防處和屋宇署進行聯合執法，巡查在1987年前落成的住宅或商住樓宇，對未符合現代防火要求樓宇的業主發出消防安全指示，要求加裝消防設施。
President since the Fire Safety Buildings Ordinance came into operation in 2007 enforcement actions have been taken jointly by the Fire Services Department FSD and the Buildings Department BD to inspect composite and domestic buildings built before 1987 and to issue fire safety directions directions to the owners of buildings found not conform to modern fire safety standards so that additional fire service installations and equipment can be installed
除了按照當局要求遵辦，好像別無他法，當局也沒有提供任何支援措施。
Seemingly there is no other alternative but to comply with the requirements laid down by the authorities but they can hardly obtain any support or assistance from the authorities
其實，舊樓失修的客觀因素很多，而且當事人無法控制，失修的舊樓多數沒有業主立案法團、居民組織或管理公司。
As a matter of fact old buildings become dilapidated due to many objective factors which are beyond the control of the persons concerned . For instance dilapidated buildings are invariably those which do not have owners corporations OCs or residents associations or are not managed by property management companies
代理主席，我謹代表議員個人利益監察委員會，向立法會提交報告。
Deputy President on behalf of the Committee on Members Interests CMI I submit the Committees report to this Council
然而，委員會認為沒有資料顯示梁議員違反登記規定是蓄意的作為，或與他擔任立法會議員的角色有利益衝突，以及考慮到委員會過往處理同類個案的經驗，所以決定不建議就該違規行為對梁議員作出處分。
However CMI finds no information showing that the breach of registration requirement was a deliberate act or that the breach involved any conflict of interests with his role as a Legislative Council Member . With further regard to CMIs past experience in handling similar cases CMI decides against recommending any sanction on Mr LEUNG for the breach of the relevant requirement
至於另一間公司OGL，梁議員表示，OGL擁有英國倫敦一項物業的永久業權土地，而他任職受薪董事兼股東的一間公司擁有該物業的一個單位，因此CEC是OGL的股東。
As for the other company OGL Mr LEUNG said that OGL owned the freehold land of a property in London the United Kingdom . And CEC a company of which he was a remunerated director and shareholder owned a flat in that property . CEC was hence a shareholder of OGL
梁議員在首封致委員會的函件中承認持有OGL股份，因為CEC持有的OGL股份不知何故在他不知情下轉讓了給他。
In his first letter submitted to CMI Mr LEUNG admitted that he had a shareholding interest in OGL as CEC had somehow transferred its shares in OGL to him without his knowledge
考慮了梁議員的進一步澄清及提供的證明文件後，委員會接納其解釋，信納他在相關期間並無持有OGL股份，因此投訴中有關OGL的部分不成立。
Having considered the clarification and substantiating documents further provided by Mr LEUNG CMI accepts his explanation and believes that he held no shares in OGL during the relevant period . Hence the complaint against him regarding OGL is unsubstantiated
該兩間公司的簡稱是"SHL"和"OGL"。
These two companies are abbreviated to SHL and OGL
委員會舉行了4次會議以調查該投訴，並且兩度請梁議員以書面提供解釋和資料，以協助調查。
CMI has held four meetings to investigate the complaint and has twice invited Mr LEUNG to provide explanation and information in writing to facilitate the investigation
SHL只發行了一股股份，而他在相關期間持有當中的半股。
SHL had only issued one share and Mr LEUNG held half of the share during the relevant period
特首，首先很多謝你在新一年的施政報告對旅遊業作出撥款，令長期冰封的旅行社避免出現裁員潮和倒閉潮。
Chief Executive I would first of all like to thank you for providing financial relief to the tourism industry in the Policy Address this year which has avoided waves of layoffs and business closures among travel agents whose business has been frozen for a prolonged period
但是，未來旅遊業仍要面對疫情反覆，復蘇期漫長的問題。
However the tourism industry will still be faced with the problem of a volatile epidemic situation and a long process of recovery in the days to come
我想問特首會否與廣東省積極探討，訂立一套雙方認可的通關基本準則，以及"健康碼"互認機制，並盡早把準則通報市民，讓大家共同遵守，同時制訂相關措施，使香港能盡快與內地通關？
I would like to ask the Chief Executive Whether proactive discussions will be held with Guangdong Province with a view to laying down a set of basic criteria which are agreeable to both parties for cross - boundary travel establishing a mutual recognition mechanism for health codes promulgating expeditiously the criteria for compliance by all people and formulating relevant measures at the same time for the early resumption of travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland?
我記得行政長官在參選時曾經表示，雖然任內無法成立旅遊局，但會成立一個跨部門小組統籌旅遊相關工作。
As I recall the Chief Executive has indicated when she was running for her office that although she would not be able to establish a Tourism Bureau during her tenure an inter - departmental committee would be set up to coordinate tourism - related initiatives
代理主席，我支持馬逢國議員的議案，並就如何將文化和旅遊兩方面資源更好地結合提出修正案。
Deputy President I support Mr MA Fung - kwoks motion and have proposed an amendment on how to better integrate cultural and tourism resources
馬逢國議員原議案中第一項建議是成立文化、體育及旅遊局，令文化和旅遊資源得到有效的整合，可以發揮最佳的協同效應。
The first proposal in Mr MA Fung - kwoks original motion is to establish a Culture Sports and Tourism Bureau so that cultural and tourism resources can be effectively integrated and the best synergy can be achieved
為此，香港應該與廣東省、澳門等部門制訂合作機制，落實發展具體項目和時間表；根據相關內容對照2017年政府提出的《香港旅遊業發展藍圖》，作出適當調整，再注入新的元素，研究如何通過旅遊促進大灣區的文化發展，形成更大的產業。
To this end Hong Kong should formulate with the relevant departments in Guangdong Province and Macao a collaboration mechanism and a timetable for implementing specific projects; make appropriate adjustments based on the relevant contents of the Development Blueprint for Hong Kongs Tourism Industry proposed by the Government in 2017 and inject new elements to the study of how to promote the cultural development of the Greater Bay Area through tourism to form a larger industry
這條線路包括了最現代化、國際化的西九文化區M+博物館，又有最傳統的本地特色文化，包括即將失傳的手工藝品、百年廟宇和有濃厚文化底蘊的酒店等，當中更不乏有百年歷史的老字號。
The itinerary incorporates the most modern and international M museum in WKCD as well as the most traditional local culture including soon - to - be - lost handicrafts centuries - old temples hotels with a rich cultural heritage and many century - old well - established brands
代理主席，香港的文化藝術有不少優勢，但亦存在不少問題。
Deputy President Hong Kongs arts and culture have many strengths but also many problems
在2014年，國家成立文化和旅遊部，其中一個目的亦是想通過旅遊進一步提升文化藝術普及化的程度，該部的工作重點是融合文化和旅遊發展，實現產業升級和消費升級。
In 2014 the Ministry of Culture and Tourism was established by the country to among other things further enhance the popularization of arts and culture through tourism with the focus on integrating cultural and tourism development to achieve industrial and consumer upgrades
主席，政府存在的其中一個主要價值，是維護及促進社會有序發展。
President one major function of a government is to maintain and promote the orderly development of society
局長可否承諾在全面檢討大嶼山的交通配套之前，先行適當增加非專營巴士使用區內道路的配額？
Can the Secretary undertake to first appropriately increase the quota for non - franchised buses to access roads in South Lantau before a comprehensive review is conducted on the ancillary transport facilities in Lantau?
但是，香港連續6年排名世界第一，而且是由13.5倍上升到18倍，遠遠超越世界組織定為"極度難以負擔"的5.5倍。
Hong Kong however has been ranked first globally for six years in a row and its median multiple has risen from 13.5 to 18 which has far exceeded the median multiple of 5.5 being classified as severely unaffordable by this international institute
當時的施政報告指在3至4年間，一手私人住宅供應量將為67,000個單位，但4年過去，總供應量卻連目標的一半也未能達到。
Back then the Policy Address said that the supply of first - hand private residential units for the coming three to four years would be 67 000 units
然而，為何他在2016年又可以再加碼，將估算數字進一步誇大至87,000個單位呢？
Nevertheless how could he further push up the figure in 2016 and exaggerate the projection to 87 000 units?
那該如何評核有關局長的表現呢？
How should we assess the performance of the Secretary?
其實，我很懷疑究竟發展局局長在多年來有否認真向特首提意見，告訴特首從技術上、邏輯上及科學上而言，在施政報告提出這些數字是否可行，免得他作出不科學的言論。
They really do not know which course to take . As a matter of fact I doubt whether the Secretary for Development has sincerely given some advice to the Chief Executive over the years and told the Chief Executive about the feasibility of stating these figures in the Policy Address from the technical logical and scientific points of view so that he would not make any unscientific statements
政府這種在各社區搜刮可用土地的手法，使市民的休憩空間、球場或社區設施減少了，又或破壞住宅附近的綠化地帶，影響居民的居住環境，已令許多市民不滿及提出反對。
The Governments way of snatching usable land sites in various districts has led to a reduction of open spaces sports grounds or community facilities available to the public . This also results in destruction of green belt areas in the vicinity of residential districts thus affecting the living environment of the residents . A lot of residents have already voiced their grievances and objection
我的理據其實得到局長的確認，他的回覆起碼指出雙方均同意的事實，即局長親口承認，他之所以需要由經常帳盈餘撥45億元到基本工程儲備基金，正正是因為他預計在2017-2018年度，基本工程儲備基金的開支無法透過賣地的收入足以支付。
Indeed the validity of my argument is recognized by the Secretary . In his reply he has at least pointed out a mutually - agreed fact . As he has admitted it personally there is a need to transfer the 4.5 billion surplus in current account to the Capital Works Reserve Fund CWRF because the estimated expenditure of CWRF for 2017 - 2018 cannot be fully covered by the proceeds from land sales
所以，他需要立法會授權，再在經常帳盈餘中調撥45億元過去，以支付他們都認為接下來數年，賣地收入不足以支付基本工程的開支。
It is why the Secretary needs authorization from the Legislative Council to make the transfer again and to transfer the 4.5 billion surplus in current account to CWRF to make up for the expenditure shortfall which they think cannot be covered by the proceeds from land sales in the next few years
可能這一點正正證明了周浩鼎議員已經離開大學很長時間。
Perhaps this can exactly prove that Mr Holden CHOW has already left college for a long period of time
事實上，近年多份研究已經指出並確認，在經濟學中稱之為"凱恩斯學派"，即是透過政府增加支出來推動經濟的這種論述，已經有大量的實證和科學研究證明是低效益。
Indeed a number of recent studies have pointed out and confirmed that in Economics the Keynesian Theory of boosting the economy through the increase in government spending is less effective . There are a lot of empirical evidence and scientific studies to prove this
但是，時至今天，香港經濟其實已經處於過熱情況，負實質利率維持長達10年，經濟過熱。
However the Hong Kong economy is overheated now with the city under the negative real interest rates for 10 years
在這個時候，竟然還有議員認為，政府應該加大投資，推動更多基建，從而帶動經濟，簡直是完全違背凱恩斯理論。
Surprisingly some Members have suggested at this time that the Government should increase its infrastructure investment to boost the economy . This is a complete violation of the Keynesian Theory
你看看這個升幅，如果香港真的要不停透過這樣大幅增加基本工程儲備基金的支出，才能夠維持香港的經濟，大家想一想便知道，這是不能持續的增長。
Please take a look at the magnitude of increase . If Hong Kong really needs to substantially and incessantly increase its CWRF expenditure in order to maintain its economy it can be easy to imagine that such growth is not sustainable
即是他親口承認基本工程儲備基金的帳戶將會出現入不敷支的情況，正正違反了《基本法》第一百零七條，量入為出，審慎理財的原則。
In other words he has admitted himself that the account of CWRF will run into a deficit which is a breach of the principle of keeping expenditure within the limits of revenues and the exercise of fiscal prudence under Article 107 of the Basic Law
我們的賣地收入有沒有可能好像我們的基本工程儲備基金的開支般，不停高速增長呢？
Is it possible for the land sales proceeds to catch up with the non - stop rapid growth in CWRF expenditure
我想問，我們是否要將所有海洋填海，用所有郊野公園，來追逐這種無窮的增長呢？
I would like to ask if we have to carry out full - scale reclamation and utilize all the country parks in order to chase after such never - ending expenditure increase
所以，當全球暖化迫在眉睫，惡劣天氣"殺到埋身"，昨天大家看到空氣污染已經到達不能不處理的情況。
Yesterday we experienced serious air pollution at a magnitude that we could no longer afford to ignore
但是，看看香港現時的情況，如果是在2003年SARS時期，大家要求政府帶頭注資還說得過去，今時今日，大家看看香港每年的基建開支已達1,000億元，香港現時的就業率，政府也自行領功，表示已差不多達到自然失業率。
For Hong Kong it would still be conceivable if we requested the Government to take the lead in the provision of funding during the SARS outbreak . However in todays Hong Kong the infrastructure expenditure has already reached 100 billion . Regarding the employment figure the Government has already claimed credit for almost reaching the natural unemployment rate
在這種情況下，建築業界一直叫嚷沒有足夠的工人，未能買到海砂而要使用機砂。
Whats more the construction industry has been complaining for the shortage of labour . The insufficient supply of marine sand has forced the industry to switch to mechanical sand
由此可見，香港的工程量、工程額龐大至現時需要減少和調整的時期，而不是繼續盲目地擴張。
From these we can see that instead of continuing with the expansion indiscriminately it is time for us to reduce or adjust the volume of and spending on construction works
他們用行動證明，他們支持自由選擇是否參加BCA的權利。
They used their actions to demonstrate their support for the right to freely choose whether to participate in BCA
另一方面，有小部分家長表示他們支持BCA。他們的理由很直接，就是他們很想子女應考BCA。
On the other hand a small number of parents said that they supported BCA on the straightforward grounds that they very much wanted their children to take BCA
