因此，現時受害人仍然需要在警局、醫院及法醫之間來回，重複錄取口供。
Therefore at present victims are still required to travel back and forth among police stations hospitals and forensic examiners and give statements repeatedly
主席，這12人是棄保潛逃的罪犯，干犯了非常嚴重的罪行，所以很多市民認為法庭根本不應准許他們保釋，造就他們有機會"走路"。
President these 12 people are offenders who absconded by jumping bail and they have committed very serious offences; therefore many people think that the court should not have granted bail to them thereby creating opportunities for them to flee
我們亦看到，"縱暴派"和"攬炒派"議員刻意利用12名棄保潛逃的罪犯攻擊政府，製造事端。
We have also seen that Members of the violence - condoning camp and the mutual destruction camp have deliberately made use of the 12 offenders who absconded by jumping bail to attack the Government and caused trouble
我想說的是，雖然現時在《法律援助律師名冊》裏有1171名大律師可以處理法援案件，但只有225名可以處理司法覆核的案件，而過去兩年分別只集中由27名及25名律師處理有關案件。
What I would like to say is that even though on the Legal Aid Panel there are now 1 171 counsel who can handle legal aid cases only 225 of them can handle JR cases and in the past two years the assignment of these cases concentrated on only 27 and 25 counsel respectively
市民覺得在這樣的安排下，再加上自選律師的安排，法援會成為某些律師的"提款機"。
Members of the public consider that under such an arrangement coupled with the arrangement for the aided persons to engage counsel of their choice legal aid has become a cash dispenser for certain lawyers
我覺得這方面一定要盡快檢討，以及希望政府提供時間表。
I think a review must be conducted as soon as possible and I hope that the Government will provide a timetable for it
然而，政府在檢討法援的時候，我希望亦能夠一併檢討上訴機制。
Yet I hope that when reviewing legal aid the Government can also review the appeal mechanism
主席，現時的上訴機制似乎出現了問題，因為高等法院司法常務官可以推翻法援署的決定，批准法援申請。
President the existing appeal mechanism seems to have a problem because the Registrar of the High Court can overturn the decision of LAD and grant legal aid to an applicant
因為他的決定是最後的決定，法援署是不能上訴的。
It is because his decision is final meaning that LAD cannot appeal against it
尤其是如果牽涉社會的重大問題、對社會影響很大的案件，這制度便似乎出現了問題。
Particularly if the case involves major social issues and has great implications on society this system apparently has a problem
主席，將軍澳居民一聽到政府說要將油塘混凝土廠搬到將軍澳第137區，真的嚇到不得了，我接到很多投訴。
President when Tseung Kwan O residents heard that the Government was going to relocate the Yau Tong CBP to Tseung Kwan O Area 137 they were really scared and I received a lot of complaints
現在說的只是2024年至2029年共5年，那便不要困擾當區居民，因為該區真的住了大量居民，現在環保大道真是沙塵滾滾，居民覺得受夠了，不能再接受有新的混凝土廠在該區發展。
We are only talking about five years from 2024 to 2029 so please cause no disturbance to the local residents because there are really a lot of people living in the area . Now that Wan Po Road is really dusty the residents feel that they have had enough and cannot accept the development of a new CBP in the area
因此，我希望政府引用《香港國安法》，主動出擊，調查這類眾籌活動，而非等到有人舉報才作調查。
Therefore I hope the Government will proactively invoke the National Security Law to investigate these crowdfunding activities . It should not commence investigation only upon receiving reports
主席，剛才聽到局長的回覆，我希望局長思考以下問題：我們有否現職僱員曾對兒童進行性侵犯的個案呢？
President after listening to the Secretarys reply just now I hope the Secretary will consider the following questions Do we have any cases of sexual assault of children by serving employees?
如果說現時每年可以做到58000個查冊，擔心日後很多人一起輪候會延長隊伍，局長，其實只須善用科技打造一個平台，便可以解決查冊排長龍的問題，而濫用的問題亦可透過其他方法規範。
If the current handling capacity of 58 000 cases each year will give rise to concerns that there will be a long queue in the future as more people are waiting in the line Secretary the authorities merely need to establish a platform with the use of technology to address the problem of the long waiting queue for record checks whereas the issue of abuse can be regulated by other means
反而，對於如何保護兒童，把保護兒童利益放在最高的位置，才是社會應該要做的事情，也是我們可以立法做到的。
As regards how to protect children and accord the highest priority to the protection of their interests this is what society should do and achieve by way of legislation
有市民指出，屯馬綫的票價結構不合理，例如較短車程的票價反而高於較長車程的票價，而且行車距離相若的不同車程的票價有頗大差異。
Some members of the public have pointed out that the fare structure of TML is unreasonable . For example the fares for shorter journeys are conversely higher than those for longer journeys and there is quite a great variance in the fares for different journeys of comparable lengths
是3年，還是9年呢？
Did he mean three years or nine years?
所以，我想問，局方會否考慮港鐵全線都以東鐵綫的收費作為一個收費標準，全面降低港鐵的票價，盡快評估以東鐵綫作為收費標準會如何影響全港鐵路的收費標準及票價？
Therefore I would like to ask the Bureau whether it will consider using the fare structure of ERL as a standard for all MTR lines lowering MTR fares across the board and evaluating as soon as possible how the use of the fare structure of ERL as a standard for fare determination will affect the standard for fare determination and fares of all railway lines in Hong Kong
主席，我支持梁美芬議員的議案，亦希望局方盡快從善如流，協助市民解決問題。
President I support Dr Priscilla LEUNGs motion and I hope that the Government will follow good advice and help people solve these problems as soon as possible
無可否認，在整場反修例風波中，特首確實處理不善。
Undeniably the Chief Executive had indeed mishandled the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments
當晚，政府公布6月12日如期在立法會繼續審議對《逃犯條例》的修訂。
That night the Government announced that the Legislative Council would continue its deliberation on the amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance as scheduled on 12 June . I myself was displeased on hearing that
事實上，根據資料顯示，6月12日凌晨5時，已有示威者在防線前以鐵馬佔據道路。
In fact according to available information at 5col00 am on 12 June some protesters had already occupied roads before the police cordon lines with mills barriers
當時龍和道及金鐘道有另一批示威者衝出佔領道路，並用長鐵通穿過鐵馬下方往上插，有1名警員被插中。
Meanwhile another group of protesters dashed forward to occupy Lung Wo Road and Queensway and they put long metal poles through mills barriers and aimed them upwards to jab police officers injuring one of them
上星期，民主黨黃碧雲議員就特首有否犯法及如何違法等問題，表示她亦沒有證據。
In response to questions like whether the Chief Executive had breached the law and how she had violated the law Dr Helena WONG from the Democratic Party said last week that she had no evidence
主席，作為議員，我有責任盡量令香港市民安居樂業。
President it is incumbent on me as a Member to strive to enable Hong Kong people to live and work in contentment
我會繼續從我的角度監察警員的行為，但我不會胡亂針對警員。
I will continue to monitor the behaviour of police officers in my capacity but I will not indiscriminately pick on police officers
既然政府及特首均沒有違法，我們要另找一種說法。
Given that the Government and the Chief Executive had not violated the law we have to find another way to describe them
我一向很留意綠化植物，今年亦注意到路邊一些樹木因為缺水而出現乾涸情況。
I have always paid attention to green plants and have noticed this year that some roadside trees were drying up due to the lack of water
為了地球和下一代着想，我們一定要做到。
We must achieve these targets for the well - being of our planet Earth and the next generation
在2020年11月27日的內務委員會會議上，議員同意把於2020年11月25日提交立法會省覽的《2020年預防及控制疾病規例》及《2020年預防及控制疾病規例》，交由與預防及控制疾病相關的附屬法例小組委員會研究。
At the meeting of the House Committee on 27 November 2020 Members agreed that the Prevention and Control of Disease Amendment No . 7 Regulation 2020 and the Prevention and Control of Disease Amendment No . 13 Regulation 2020 which were laid on the Table of this Council on 25 November 2020 should be studied by the Subcommittee on Subsidiary Legislation Relating to the Prevention and Control of Disease
主席，近年大家接獲不少這類苦主的投訴或求助，有些個案顯然是詐騙，而有些個案，用善意的說法來說，就是缺乏監管。
President we have received many complaints or requests for assistance from victims of fraud cases in recent years . While some cases obviously involve deception some other cases to put it nicely are caused by a lack of supervision
如果有這類土地，我們會義不容辭立即改為興建公營房屋。
If we have such sites it is our bounden duty to build public housing
多謝何議員，如果有具體的方案，我們很願意考慮。
Thank you Mr HO . If there is a specific proposal we will be very willing to consider it
不過，我必須留一個註腳，就是國家速度是我們學不來的，因為國家有一個全世界罕見的體制優勢，就是差不多一呼百應、眾志成城；我們真的沒有這優勢，因為某程度上，香港是很多元自由的社會，這是我們的傳統，大家喜歡說不同的話。
Our country has an institutional advantage that is rare in the world ie . it can rally multitudes of support at a single call to achieve a common goal . We really do not enjoy such an advantage because to a certain extent Hong Kong is a diversified and free society
我不想提升議員的期望，然後議員就很失望地說我們不如國家那個速度，因為是有難度的。
I do not wish to raise the expectations of Members and then let them down saying that our pace is no match of our country because it can hardly be achieved
我希望社會有這樣的討論。
I hope for discussion among the community in this regard
所以我時常說做"明日大嶼"其實是讓很多環保人士看到可保留的東西可以保留；不做"明日大嶼"的話，遲早這些濕地都要發展，否則地從何來？
That is why I always say that Lantau Tomorrow actually lets many environmentalists see that things can be preserved as they should be . If we do not launch Lantau Tomorrow all these wetlands will have to be developed sooner or later; otherwise where will land come from?
所以未來北區將會是重點開拓土地的地方，但有一定的限制。
Therefore in the future the North District will be the focus for land development but it has certain constraints
我們盡量爭取快一點落實走線，便可以向社會交代。
We will try to finalize the alignment as early as possible and thus be able to explain it to the community
近日野豬出沒多了，這是事實。
Recently wild pigs have appeared more frequently and that is a fact
我們身邊很多朋友都說看到很多野豬，牠們有時候會聯群結隊，已不怕人。
Many friends of ours have spotted wild pigs and sometimes they appear in groups and are not afraid of people
就劉議員剛才提及的報道，可能是漁護署經考慮後，認為要重新進行狩獵工作。
Regarding the report which Mr LAU mentioned AFCD may upon due consideration consider that there is a need to resume hunting operations
這方面要待漁護署專家研究後再向議員交代。
We have to wait for experts of AFCD to study the matter before giving an account to Members
多謝吳議員的提問。
I thank Mr NG for his question
現在我覺得在一些不需要大量土地和廠房的製造業方面，我們具有優勢，因為我們有科研，而科研所產生的製造業在未達到mass production，即大量生產的時候，我們有一個定位是可以發揮，這項工作我們會繼續努力。
At the moment I think given our RD capabilities we have an edge in those manufacturing industries that do not require a great deal of land and industrial plants . Before the RD - based manufacturing industries reach the stage of mass production there is a positioning that we can give play to and we will continue to work hard on this
所以，我們經過十分認真的考慮，雖說3輪防疫抗疫基金無以為繼，我們仍再額外支援旅遊業。
After very careful consideration we will offer additional support to the industry although our relief measures are unsustainable after the three rounds of them under the Anti - epidemic Fund
姚議員提出的很多是前景問題，我們如何可部署得更好來發展旅遊業。
Much of what Mr YIU has mentioned concerns the outlook for the future and how we can make a better plan for the development of the tourism industry
施政報告內提出的很多發展都有旅遊的角度：西九文化區有旅遊的角度；"躍動港島南"有旅遊的角度；美化維港兩岸有旅遊的角度；在香港國際機場香港口岸人工島有兩個讓粵車南下的停車場，也有大量的旅遊機遇。
There is a tourism perspective in many development plans proposed in the Policy Address such as the West Kowloon Cultural District; the Invigorating Island South initiative; the harbourfront projects implemented on both sides of the Victoria Harbour; and even the development of two car parks for vehicles from Guangdong on the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Island of the Hong Kong International Airport can bring about promising tourism opportunities
所以，在政府內部將之統整、理順是有需要的，我很願意親自擔起這項工作。
It is necessary to consolidate and rationalize such initiatives within the Government and I am more than willing to take up the job myself
首先，在香港疫情可控之下，可以透過互認"健康碼"來逐步恢復粵港人員往來，這句說話已涵蓋了我們的基準：第一，我們的疫情必須可控，但沒有要求1宗個案也不可出現，因為大家也知道，即使內地也有輸入個案，間中亦有零星的本地個案。
First of all travel between Guangdong and Hong Kong can be gradually resumed in an orderly manner through mutual recognition of health codes when the epidemic situation in Hong Kong stabilizes and this has already satisfied our benchmark ie . we should first stabilize our epidemic situation . However it does not mean that we cannot accept even one single case because as we all know imported cases have been reported even in the Mainland and there have also been sporadic local cases
第二是互認"健康碼"，技術上已成熟，亦已完成，我們甚至已研究應否在未能通關前，開始讓市民習慣如何在取得陰性檢測結果後形成一個"健康碼"，這些工作我們稍後會進行。
Secondly the mutual recognition of health codes this is technically mature and readily available . We should even examine whether we should familiarize members of the public with the operational arrangements for obtaining a health code with a negative test result before the resumption of cross - boundary travel and we will carry out the relevant work later
因此，我希望各位議員替政府作出呼籲：不可掉以輕心，一天未有疫苗的研發和廣泛使用，很難達致沒有病毒存在，尤其是我們現正進入比較危險的時期，因為冬季特別危險，希望大家努力。
I hope Members would make an appeal for the Government and call upon members of the public not to let their guard down . In the absence of research and development for vaccines and their wide application it will be very difficult to get rid of this virus especially when we are now in a relatively critical period . As the situation is particularly dangerous in the winter season I hope we will all stay vigilant
對於非長者申領綜援，我們是有配套措施的。
We have put in place supportive measures for non - elderly CSSA applicants
所以，長者或中高齡人士投入勞動市場是一個不爭的事實，我們需要為他們提供更多支援。
Thus it is an indisputable fact that the elderly or the elderly and middle - aged are participating in the labour market and we must give them more support
勞工處早前將一項"中年就業計劃"更改為"中高齡就業計劃"，為願意聘用較年長人士的僱主提供津貼，勞工處亦特別為較年長的求職人士提供支援。
Earlier the Labour Department changed the Employment Programme for the Middle - aged to the Employment Programme for the Elderly and Middle - aged to provide allowance to employers who are willing to employ persons of higher age . The Labour Department will also provide support particularly for job - seekers of higher age
當年就《2018-2019年撥款條例草案》提交預算開支的那本厚"電話簿"，在社署總目下，社署提出兩點2018-2019年度申請的撥款，其中兩項工作是推出"加碼"的長者生活津貼，以及在2018-2019年度內，把領取長者綜援的合資格年齡提高至65歲。
In the voluminous Estimates submitted in relation to the Appropriation Bill for 2018 - 2019 two points were made under the head of SWD . In its funding application for 2018 - 2019 two of the tasks mentioned by SWD were implementing the Higher Old Age Living Allowance and raising the eligible age for elderly CSSA from 60 to 65 in 2018 - 2019
我知道今天很多議員想提問，我不想花太多時間詳述我們對長者服務的承擔和理念。
I understand that many Members wish to raise questions today hence I do not wish to spend too much time to describe our commitment and philosophy in providing elderly services in detail
但是，我可以告訴容議員，對於照顧香港長者，我們是責無旁貸的。
Nevertheless I can tell Ms YUNG that we are duty - bound to take care of the elderly in Hong Kong
多謝容議員有關長者福利的一系列提問。
I thank Ms YUNG Hoi - yan for her series of questions on elderly welfare
要重新登記做選民，屆時會否認識這個新的制度？
Given that people may be required to re - register as electors do they have an understanding of the new electoral system?
我並不是給廖主席壓力，但越早通過這項法例，我們就可以越早啟動這方面的工作，向每一個界別分組解釋如何做選民登記，諸如此類，但是所擔心的是時間性問題。
Chairman LIAO I am not putting pressure on you . However the earlier you pass the bill the earlier we can kick off the work in this respect such as explaining to each subsector how to register as an elector . Time is a cause of concern
在下星期發表條例草案後，大部分答案都會知道。
Upon the publication of the bill next week most of the answers will be known
總的來說，需要不停向公眾發放準確的消息，確保不會有假消息擾亂未來已經如此緊湊的工作。
Otherwise confusion will arise . In conclusion we need to constantly disseminate accurate information to the general public to ensure that there will not be false information disrupting the compact work schedule
這方面我們一定會很努力。
We will definitely work very hard in this respect
說得出這句說話的人，根本不理解選舉和民主的精神。
Anyone who says so does not have the slightest understanding of the spirit of election and democracy
我昨日出席了兩場，一場是地產界，一場是工程界。
Yesterday I attended two of them with one for the estate sector and the other for the engineering sector
除了很受鼓舞，因為大家發言都是支持，都認為這種亂象不應該再繼續，在這兩場解說會我們都聽到一些意見，甚至同事匯報在其他場合亦有收集到一些意見。
While feeling greatly encouraged because everyone spoke in support of the arrangement and considered that the chaos should not continue we have also heard some views in these two sessions and collected some more on other occasions as reported by my colleagues . Summarizing the views collected we can say it is a problem with time
重建行政立法關係在過去數個月一直在進行，我剛才在開場發言中不斷感謝各位，因為各位正在配合我們的施政可以召開多一次會議，特意讓法案首讀，否則整個法案將會少了1星期的時間審議，這些就是大家有商有量。
In the past few months we have been rebuilding the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature . In my earlier opening remarks I kept thanking Members for cooperating with us in our governance―an additional meeting has been arranged to specially deal with the First Reading of the Bill otherwise we will have one week less for scrutiny . This is the result of amicable discussions
我只能說，我們每一位都很盡力，但在某些地方，如果政策、答案得不到大家的支持，我希望是對事不對人，我們會盡最大的努力。
All I can say is that every one of us has been working very hard . In some cases however if Members do not support our policies or responses I hope that they only target the issues but not individuals
我有信心未來我們會令議會更感覺到我們尊重大家，我們很願意和大家一起協作，為香港做更多實事。
I am confident that in the future we will make the Legislative Council feel that we respect Members and are very willing to collaborate with them to do more real work for Hong Kong
對於上星期議會以大比數通過無約束力議案，要求特區政府處理輸入海外醫生，我們會非常認真、積極地研究。
Last week the Legislative Council overwhelmingly passed a non - binding motion to request the SAR Government to deal with the import of overseas doctors . We will proactively and seriously look into the issue . My stand is clear
這場仗是要打的，但我希望是和平、沒有硝煙的仗，這要視乎醫務界的朋友如何處理這件事。
This is a battle we need to fight but I hope that it will be a peaceful battle or a war without gunpowder . This will depend on how members of the medical sector will handle this matter
我很願意研究用甚麼機制令醫務界相對上較能接受這個放寬，我不會關上這道門的。
I am very willing to look into a mechanism that can convince the medical sector so that they are more receptive to the relaxation . I will not close the door to any proposals
我們作為國際金融中心的地位，令中央在金融方面的逐步改革開放有一個試驗田，可以逐步有序地開放，這當然亦對我們的金融業發展非常有利。
In our capacity as an international financial centre we provide the Central Government with a testing ground for the gradual reform and opening up of its financial market . Its gradual and orderly opening up is of course conducive to the development of Hong Kongs financial industry
所以，我今次訪京期間，曾與中證監主席及其同事會面，他再次強調十分重視香港這個國際金融中心。
During my Beijing trip this time around I have also met with the Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and his colleagues . He reiterated that they attached great importance to Hong Kongs position as an international financial centre
所以，大家如何看待今次在金融業的七大方向？
How everyone views the seven new directions of the financial industry? . This in fact is a major policy direction
其實是一個大的政策方向，就是不斷加強互聯互通下可以做的產品，不過，現在第一個加入的是未有盈利的生物科技公司及上海科創版的股票，意思即是之後可以有第二、第三、第四個產品加入，不過，我今天不便公布。
That is we will increase the number of products under the mutual market access programmes . But the first batch of stocks to be included are those of pre - profit biotechnology companies and those listed on the Shanghai Sci - Tech Innovation Board . It means that the second third and fourth batch of products will be included later on
然而，我可 以告訴張議員，之後還有其他產品會進入互聯互通，但要小心行事，因為金融比較敏感。
But as at today it is not convenient for me to make public of their names . But I can assure Mr CHEUNG that other products will be included in the mutual market access programmes later . However we still need to act carefully as the financial markets are highly sensitive
我會特別留意張議員提出的意見，在處理這些專業服務准入時，會盡量爭取降低門檻，不要只讓大企業進入，這點我會記住。
I especially note the proposal put forward by Mr CHEUNG that we should strive for a lower entry threshold for the market access of these professional service providers so that not only big companies have access . That is I will bear this in mind . In particular we are having excellent cooperation with Guangdong Province as well as Shenzhen
我相信財政司司長領導的金融領導委員會一定會討論如何令香港的金融事業更具競爭性。
I believe the Financial Leaders Forum led by the Financial Secretary will definitely discuss how to make Hong Kongs financial industry more competitive
這方面要留待勞工及福利局再作研究，看看今時今日，我們究竟還有多少能力增加長期照顧服務及社區照顧服務的名額。
In this connection I will leave it to the Labour and Welfare Bureau to further consider our present capacity in increasing the quotas for long - term care services and community care services
多謝易志明議員的提問。
I thank Mr Frankie YICK for the question
不過正如易議員很準確提出，這兩項條文都是有條件的。
However as Mr YICK has correctly pointed out there are conditions to be met in these two provisions
我與易議員的結論一樣，這次中央由國家層面修改附件一和附件二，完善香港的選舉制度，並不是民主倒退，而是為日後的普選建立更穩固的基礎。
My conclusion is the same as that of Mr YICK . Amending Annexes I and II by the Central Authorities at the state level to improve the electoral system of Hong Kong this time around is not a regression in democracy but the laying of a more solid foundation for universal suffrage in the future
這就是我們這數年看到的現象，今次有機會回到正軌。
That is the phenomenon observed by us in these few years and there is now an opportunity for us to return to the right track
但是，這是短期措施，長期則要考慮繼續以外判、公私營合作或委約形式提供服務，以確保小朋友可以無縫地得到聽覺支援。
Nonetheless this will be a short - term measure . In the long term we have to consider whether we will continue to contract out the service provide the service through public - private partnership or commission the service to ensure that school children can obtain hearing support without any break in continuity
更深層次的是，由於現時科技進步，助聽器已經不是很新的科技，還有耳蝸的服務。
At a deeper level as technology advances hearing aids are no longer the latest technology as cochlear implants are also available
我要求教育局局長盡快恢復這些服務。
I have asked the Secretary for Education to resume these services as soon as possible
這些服務不設配額，無須輪候，這是小朋友接受強制性教育的必需品。
Since no quotas have been set there is no need to wait for such services which are essential for these children receiving compulsory education
事實上，過去幾個月也有數位家長向我表示，這個問題令他們很焦慮，因為小朋友沒有助聽器會直接影響學習。
In fact over the past few months several audiologists have indicated to me their anxious concern of this problem because the lack of hearing aids will directly affect the learning of these children
我必須承認，2018-2019學年的助聽器服務招標工作做得不完善，導致服務斷層的情況。
I must admit that the tender exercise for hearing aid service for the 2018 - 2019 school year had not been satisfactorily conducted resulting in a break in service continuity
主席，多謝林議員。
President I thank Mr LAM
無論要花多少時間，我都會將這份工作做好，希望更得到議會支持。
No matter how much time it takes I will get the job done while hoping to have the support of the Council . In fact the restoration of calm in this Council within such a short period of time is actually a great help to us
事實上，在短短這一段時間，議會回復平靜，其實幫了我們很大忙，同事不但現在多了時間去想其他事和做其他事，而容許我說一件事，如果今日我面對的立法會不是這樣的立法會，這個措施是不會出現在這份施政報告這是撤銷非住宅物業雙倍從價印花稅。
Not only do colleagues now have more time to consider and do other things but there is also one thing I would like to mention with all due respect . Namely had the Legislative Council before me today not been the Legislative Council as it is this measure would not have appeared in this Policy Address . I am referring to the abolition of the Doubled Ad Valorem Stamp Duty on non - residential property transactions
我希望說這番話，令市民明白當我們說行政立法機關各司其職，既要制衡，又要配合，便是這意思。
I hope these remarks enable the public to understand that this is what we mean by saying that the executive authorities and the legislature should both complement and keep a check and balance on each others functions
我們提出一個政策，我相信大體上社會都接受，但有時好的政策都做不到，因為有人不配合、不履行作為立法會議員要作配合的功能，但今日我們有這個信心，至少在餘下這八九個月，我們會爭取時間做對市民有利、議會可以支持的工作。
When we put forward a policy I believe that it is generally accepted by the community but sometimes good policies fail to get implemented because some people do not cooperate . They do not perform the coordinative function that Members of the Legislative Council are supposed to perform . However today we are confident that at least in the remaining eight or nine months we will make the most of our time to do what is good for the public and what the legislature can support
在此，再次多謝各位議員給予我們這個信心。
Here I would like to thank Members once again for giving us this confidence
柯議員，我剛才已主動提及，在為高中齡就業人士提供就業支援方面，我們十分願意考慮，並不停考慮推出措施，所以勞工處已推出一些新措施。
Mr OR I have taken the initiative to mention that we are more than willing to consider providing employment support for middle - aged and elderly workers and we are constantly considering new initiatives . In view of this the Labour Department has introduced a number of new initiatives
