梁振英本來計劃使用金發局凌駕其他金融規管機構的策略，在林鄭月娥上任之後，究竟會怎樣呢？
The original strategy of LEUNG Chun - ying was to have FSDC domineering over other financial regulatory bodies . How will it turn out after Mrs Carrie LAM has assumed office?
提出策略性及前瞻性建議，並由政府指派有關部門跟進。
It will set up a mechanism through which the strategic and forward looking proposals will be tabled and followed up by the designated government departments
這表示其背後所代表的利益關係千絲萬縷，金發局提出的建議，不單影響政府的政策，亦影響香港整個金融業的發展，我對此組織非常存疑。
The recommendations from FSDC will not only affect the Governments policies but will also affect the development of the entire financial sector of Hong Kong . I am highly doubtful about this organization
我提出此項修正案的原因，是我預期稅務政策組最終是為富人減稅，減弱財富再分配的效果，加劇貧富懸殊。
I propose this amendment because I can foresee that TPU will be striving for its ultimate goal of reducing tax for the rich which in turn will weaken the effect of wealth redistribution and widen the wealth gap
由此可見，這個政策組成立的主要原因，是為企業提供扣稅安排，雖然說會增加更多類型的稅項以擴闊稅基，但我非常存疑。
Although he says that the tax base will be widened through an increase of various taxes I am highly doubtful about this
這兩年，因為主席巧妙的安排，令官員可以掌握每一節的時間，可以就每一節的題目，派相應的政策局局長出席會議，以便聆聽議員的發言。
In these two years due to the strategic arrangement of Chairman public officers can have a clear idea of the time that will be spent on each debate session . Regarding the themes of each session respective Bureaux Secretaries can be sent to attend the meeting in order to listen to Members speeches
如果真的擴闊稅基，便可以進一步完善財富再分配的功效，這樣，我、人民力量或很多政治組織都不會反對。
If the tax base can really be widened the effect of wealth redistribution can be further improved and this will not be opposed by me People Power or many political organizations
因為這些稅項會加重大地產商的稅務負擔，直接影響他們的利益。
It is because these taxes will add to the taxation burden of property developers and will directly affect their interests
我另外提出要削減貿發局的資助金3億8,500萬元。
Besides I propose to reduce the expenditure of 385 million for TDCs subvention
在預算案發表之後，我曾經向貿發局提出一些涉及可行性研究開支的問題，但它表示未有開展研究，所以沒有相關預算。
After the Budget was published I raised some questions to TDC concerning the expenditure on the feasibility study but it said that since the study had not started yet there was no related budget
令我更憂慮的是，如果貿發局在下個財政年度展開可行性研究，我們如何能夠阻止呢？
What worries me more is that if TDC commences the feasibility study during the next financial year how can we stop it?
我翻查貿發局的財政報告發現，雖然每年貿發局有超過10億元收入，但由於行政開支龐大，要由政府從貿易報關費所得的政府撥款資助，才能勉強維持收支平衡，如果沒有政府資助，貿發局每年便要虧損3億至4億元。
As I find out from the financial reports of TDC although TDC is drawing an income of over 1 billion per year due to massive administrative expenditure TDC has to be subsidized by the Government through its income from trade declaration charges in order to barely maintain a break even position . Without government subvention TDC will have to suffer a loss of 300 million to 400 million each year
我不知道在下一節，吳克儉局長有否輪更來聆聽議員的發言？
I have no idea whether it will be Secretary Eddie NGs turn to attend the next debate session in order to listen to Members speeches
我發言完結後，應該會進入第6項，這項辯論有11位議員提出修正案，我提醒議員應盡快返回會議廳準備發言。
In that debate there are amendments proposed by 11 Members . I remind Members that they should return to the Chamber as soon as possible to prepare for delivering their speeches
他們預備了講稿，便要求其他立法會議員否決我們的修正案，並無認真針對議員的發言及論點，提出回應，甚至反駁。
They have their speeches prepared and simply asked other Legislative Council Members to veto our amendments without seriously responding to or even refuting Members points or arguments raised in the speeches
主席，由於時間關係和這環節有11位議員提出修正案，我不知道還有多少次發言機會。
Chairman due to the time constraint and the fact that 11 Members have proposed amendments in this debate session I do not know how many times I can speak again in this session
很多議員，包括鄭松泰議員、葉建源議員、許智峯議員、張超雄議員、郭家麒議員和劉小麗議員也不約而同提出要求削減吳克儉局長薪酬的修正案。
Many Members including Dr CHENG Chung - tai Mr IP Kin - yuen Mr HUI Chi - fung Dr Fernando CHEUNG Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Dr LAU Siu - lai have coincidentally proposed amendments seeking to reduce the emoluments of Secretary Eddie NG
第二段是："我對於這種過分操練非常擔心，因為我的教育理念是為學生提供一個關懷的學習環境。
Second I am very worried about excessive drilling . My idea of education is to create a caring learning environment for students
擱置小三BCA不單是林鄭月娥的政綱，更是今屆特首選舉5名主要參選人的共同意願，包括無法"入閘"的葉劉淑儀議員及梁國雄議員，他們都支持擱置今年小三BCA。
Suspending Primary Three BCA is not only the manifesto of Carrie LAM but also the common aspiration of the five major candidates in the current Chief Executive election including Mrs Regina IP and Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung who were not nominated to stand for the election; they all supported suspending Primary Three TSA this year
我們明白"林太"的難處，她沒有理由像我們一樣與梁振英、吳克儉隔空對罵。
We understand the difficulties of Carrie LAM; she has no reason to rebuke LEUNG Chun - ying and Eddie NG like us
我找到兩筆撥款開支，一項是民政事務局一筆7,600萬元的開支，另一項是康樂及文化事務署一筆1億9,400萬元的開支。
I found two provisions one of which is the allocation of 76 million to the Home Affairs Bureau and the other is the allocation of 194 million to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department
他反建議BCA舉行做法可如人口普查，可以10年全港做一次，5年抽樣做一次，相信一間學校不會一兩年間就會走樣"。
He counter proposed that BCA could be conducted in the mode of population census a territory - wide assessment once every 10 years and a sampling assessment once every 5 years as the standard of a school would not fluctuate greatly in a year or two
港珠澳大橋香港工程動工至今，出現了多個不能原諒的錯誤，包括人工島大幅移位，結果影響人工島上的工程要延遲動工；又同時污染附近的海洋生態。
The HZMB Hong Kong projects have been beset by a number of unforgivable mistakes since commencement of the construction works . The large amount of movement of the artificial island for example has caused delay in the implementation of construction works on the island and polluted the marine ecology nearby
發生上述事件，顯示負責港珠澳大橋香港工程的官員低估了使用不浚挖式填海方式的潛在問題；而當人工島出現嚴重飄移時，政府亦沒有主動通知公眾和立法會，試圖掩飾問題。
The aforesaid incidents reflect that officials in charge of the HZMB Hong Kong projects have underestimated the potential problems associated with the non - dredge reclamation approach . Worse still instead of taking the initiative to inform the public and the Legislative Council of the serious drifting of the artificial island the Government tried to cover up the problem
繼人工島飄移後，機場島的香港接線填海部分又出現嚴重崩塌，令當局又要進行大規模的臨時填海，以防止填海部分又進一步崩塌，但此舉已影響及附近的海洋生態，路政署相關官員又無需負上甚麼責任，更試圖隱瞞事件，被傳媒揭發後才出來交代，以及向立法會交代。
After the drifting of the artificial island there was a serious collapse at the reclamation area of the Hong Kong Link Road HKLR connecting the Airport Island . Once again relevant officials at the Highways Department were not held accountable for the technical failure even though a large - scale temporary reclamation had to be carried out to prevent any further collapse of the reclamation area and despite the harm being done to the marine ecology in the surrounding . The officials who even tried to cover up the collapse incident came forth to explain the case to the public and the Legislative Council only after the disclosure of incident by the media
看回當年他們提交立法會人事編制小組委員會的文件，香港工程管理處處長其中的一個職責是監察建造工程合約的履行情況，並擔任合約所訂定的僱主代表。
According to the document submitted to the Establishment Subcommittee by the Government one of the duties and responsibilities of the Project ManagerHZMB is to oversee the construction contracts and act as the Employers Representative under the contracts
雖然我們支持並非我支持，而是議會支持開設上述職位，訂明官員有監控工程的職責，但這些官員低估了工程難度，發生事故時便用各種方法來隱瞞，被揭發後亦沒有負上應負的責任，令人憤怒。
While we supported―not me but the Council which gave its support―the creation of such posts with such duties and responsibilities to monitor the projects these officials have underestimated the difficulties of the construction works . It is outrageous to see that they not only attempted to cover up the construction blunders but they also failed to accept responsibilities after the revelation of the mistakes
例如機場島香港接線填海區崩塌事故發生至今超過兩年，顧問公司及承建商隱瞞公眾，而香港工程管理處的官員亦 縱容這事件出現。
For example it has been two years since the occurrence of the collapse at the reclamation area of HKLR the Airport Island . Yet the consultancy firm and the contractor concealed it from the public while officials at HKPMO also connived at the concealing
我們看回文件，這個香港工程管理處的總工程師的其中一個職責是，委聘和管理香港接線工程計劃顧問公司和建造合約。
As we refer to the document one of the duties and responsibilities of Chief EngineerHKLR is the procuring and administering consultancies and construction contracts for the delivery of the HKLR project
顧問不力，造成最直接的後果是工程延誤和超支。
The unsatisfactory performance of the consultancies will directly cause project delay and cost overrun
值得注意的是，香港工程管理處處長的第一項職責是，規劃、管理和指導港珠澳大橋香港工程管理處的工作，以確保港珠澳大橋工程計劃和相關的道路基建計劃如期完成，並且不會超支。
It should be noted that the first duty and responsibility of the HKPMO is the planning administering and directing the work of the HZMB HKPMO to ensure that the HZMB and related highway infrastructure projects are completed on time and within budget
由此可見，有關職位已經不能夠完成這項任務。
Hence we can see that the official who has taken up the position has failed to complete this task
另一個要削減這個項目的原因，便是香港工程管理處沒有履行工程合約僱主的責任，保障工人的安全。
Another reason for the expenditure cut is the failure of HKPMO as the employer under the contracts to take up its responsibility to safeguard the safety of construction workers
建制派可能會說保障工人安全應該是承建商的責任，不是政府的責任，指我們在申請撥款當時提出很多這些問題是"拉布"，但是，我們看看當年成立香港工程管理處處長此職位的職責是甚麼。
The pro - establishment camp may argue that it should be the responsibility of contractors not the Government to safeguard the safety of workers and that the raising of many such questions during the funding applications for the projects is filibustering . So let us look at the duties and responsibilities of the Project ManagerHZMB when the post was created
香港工程管理處處長的第九項職責是監察建造工程合約的履行情況，並擔任合約所訂定的僱主代表。
The ninth duty of the Project ManagerHZMB is to oversee the construction contracts and act as the Employers Representative under the contracts
當局身為最大的僱主，其包容的態度，之所以被市民指你們草菅人命、承建商草菅人命。
With the connivance of the authorities the biggest employer the contractors have a trump card to play . This explains why the Government and the contractors are accused by the general public of treating human lives with utter disrespect
我要多說一項，就是要削減統籌辦總監全年薪酬預算開支，提出這項修正案，是因為我覺得政府不應為三跑"大白象"工程提供任何資助。
I would like to speak on one more amendment which is the proposed reduction of the estimated expenditure on the annual emolument of HeadAEPCO . The proposed cut comes as I think the Government should not provide any form of assistance to the while elephant three - runway project
但是，由於空域問題，大大減低三跑的效益，令三跑成為千億元"大白象"。
However the benefits of the three - runway have been largely reduced by the airspace issue turning it into a white elephant project costing a hundred billion dollars
當局經常強調這個工程由香港機場管理局自行融資，不涉及公帑，不用來立法會求我們撥款，不用來財務委員 會被我們"拉布"，但當局免收機管局利息，令香港政府失去數以百億元的收入。
Although the authorities have explained time and again that the project which will solely be funded by the Airport Authority Hong Kong AA will not incur any public money . As no funding application will be submitted to the Legislative Council the project will also be immune from our filibustering in the Finance Committee . However by foregoing its dividends from AA the Hong Kong Government will lose tens of billions of revenue income
主席，其實梁國雄議員可以留待最後一項辯論，當辯論我提出一項削減康樂及文化事務署預算開支的修正案時，才詳細發表關於七一維園用作舉辦慶回歸活動的問題，因為那項修正案是針對香港特區成立20周年慶祝回歸活動的預算開支的。
Chairman Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung has just talked about the issue of using Victoria Park as the venue for organizing reunification celebration activities on 1 July . Actually he can withhold his discussion on this issue until the last debate session when my amendment proposed to reduce the estimated expenditure on the Leisure and Cultural Services Department is put up because the amendment is related to the estimated expenditure for the celebration of the 20 anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the reunification of Hong Kong
三跑佔用了大幅白海豚的棲息地，明顯對環境構成不可改變的傷害，但環境局接受相關環評，容許在三跑工程完成後，才成立海岸公園彌補損害。
Occupying a large area of the habitat of China white dolphins the three - runway will obviously cause permanent damages to the environment . However the Environment Bureau has endorsed the relevant EIA and allowed a marine park which serves to make up for the damages to be built after the completion of the three - runway project . Members may think that the EIA report is prepared by AA
根據2012年，人事編制小組委員會的文件，這名總監的重要職責是監督統籌辦各方面的工作，把統籌辦定位為集中協調政府與機管局之間一切互相配合問題的單一專責機構，就機場擴建計劃事宜向相關政策局及部門提供意見，尤其是處理環評這個首要任務，確保環評根據法定要求順利依時進行。
According to the paper for the Establishment Subcommittee in 2012 the major duties and responsibilities of HeadAEPCO are to oversee all aspects of the work of AEPCO facilitate the AEPCO as the focal point for coordinating all interfacing work between the Government and AA and advise relevant Policy Bureaux and government departments on matters related to the airport expansion plan . In particular the handling of EIA to ensure the smooth conduct of EIA pursuant to statutory requirements and according to schedule is the top priority of AEPC
可想而知，如果他要令到環評順利進行，一方面當然要提醒機管局，令機管局的環評可以撰寫得較好，符合環境局的要求。
It can be imagined that to enable the smooth conduct of EIA HeadAEPCO will definitely need to give some hints to AA to facilitate its preparation of the EIA report which can better meet the requirements of the Environment Bureau on the one hand
另一方面，可能會要求環境局配合機管局，令到環評可以順利通過。
He may also have to seek cooperation from the Environment Bureau to allow the smooth passage of the EIA report on the other hand
政府成立專責部門，加強機管局與政府之間的所謂合作，會令到政府難以公平的處理三跑工程所發生和衍生的問題。
The establishment of the dedicated department to strengthen the so - called cooperation between AA and the Government will render it difficult for the latter to tackle problems relating to and arising from the three - runway project in a fair manner
我提出這兩項修正案，是因為我認為，港珠澳大橋香港工程管理處未能盡責監管港珠澳大橋工程，以及機場擴建工程統籌辦公室亦耗費公帑，為這個"大白象"第三條跑道工程提供了不必要的協助，亦應被削減。
The reasons for proposing the two amendments to seek the expenditure reduction are that I think HKPMO has failed to fully discharge its duty of monitoring the HZMB project while AEPCOs provision of unnecessary support to the while elephant three - runway project is a waste of public money
馬料水填海本身是一個損害當區居民生活質素及沒有必要的填海項目，當局至今仍沒有詳細交代填海區上的土地用途，但一般估計將會在該區興建大量房屋。
Reclamation at Ma Liu Shui is an unnecessary reclamation project which will ruin the quality of life of local residents . So far no detailed information about the future land uses on the reclamation area has been provided though it is expected that the area will be used for massive housing production
如果在填海區興建大量房屋，必會大大增加東鐵的載客量，令東鐵更擠迫，對沙田、大圍、馬鞍山居民構成更大的不便。
The large - scale housing development on the reclamation area is bound to increase the patronage of the East Rail making it even more crowded and bringing greater inconvenience to the residents in Sha Tin Tai Wai and Ma On Shan
監管此計劃的官員，令研究計劃不客觀，任由沒有誠信的顧問公司繼續進行，所以我要提出削減。
I propose to cut the salaries of officials overseeing this project for their making the study biased and for letting the consultant without integrity to continue with its work
因為事隔9個月，有知情市民向傳媒舉報，我們有些議員都收到舉報電郵，繼而向統計處查詢，它才承認遺失兩部電腦，但表示那些只是平板電腦而已。
It is because CSD took nine months to admit the loss of two computers . It did so only after someone reported the incident to the media while some Members enquired about the problem after receiving an email revealing the issue
如果沒有知情人士舉報，沒有傳媒查詢，我和全港市民到今天也可能不知道這件事，尤其是近日發生聯合醫院事件，大家都知道，政府有關部門做錯事，應該不是想息事寧人，不是想瞞天過海，不是想越少人知越好。
If it was not for the whistle - blower and the medias inquiry I and the people in Hong Kong may not have known the incident today . The recent case concerning the United Christian Hospital particularly indicated that when a government department is at fault it will likely not attempt to play down or cover up the problem nor will it try to hide it from the people
我在這部分提出了10項修正案，涉及各個範疇，相信不會有時間讓我逐一詳述。
I do not believe there is time for me to explain one by one the various subjects in relation to the 10 amendments proposed by me in this session
電腦科技界人士認為政府應找獨立第三者認證這件事，而統計處仍然堅稱，處方曾向政府內部電腦專家查詢，表示在事件中，資料外泄的風險極低，即使文件被打開，5至10分鐘就會自動關閉，不存在文件可長期打開的問題，又說電腦內只有基本人口資料，黑客破解密碼需時以年計，估計不會以大量時間破解。
According to these experts the files would automatically close after 5 to 10 minutes even if they were open in the first place . So the question that the files could stay open for a long period did not exist . Moreover they claimed that it would take years to crack the computer which simply contained some basic personal data and therefore predicted that the hackers would not spend the time on this
其實，政府或統計處或許是希望市民安心，但在辯解過程中卻顯得非常輕率。
The Government or CSD might wish to alleviate the peoples concern yet their arguments were given seemingly without much thought
其實，在上屆立法會討論人口普查時，已有不少議員表示不要浪費平板電腦，人口普查工作結束後，應將平板電腦捐給有需要人士，因為，若把平板電腦留待5年後下屆人口普查時使用，便已過時。
In fact during the discussion on population census conducted by the Legislative Council of the previous term many Members expressed their views that the tablet computers should not be wasted after the census that the tablets should be donated to the needy people lest they would become obsolete for the next population census five years later
因此，捐贈是合理做法。
Therefore donating the computers is the right move
而且，處方將其中5,084部平板電腦轉贈給74間非政府機構，卻沒有透露受贈機構名單，我們認為處理不夠透明。
Moreover while the 5 084 tablet computers were donated to 74 non - governmental organizations not a list of the beneficial organizations was compiled afterwards . We believe the arrangement is not quite transparent
電腦保安專家質疑，未經加密的Android系統和統計軟件處理的平板電腦，絕不能輕易轉交外間機構，否則人口統計資料便有機會外泄。
A computer security expert raised a query claiming that unencrypted tablet computers running the Android system and statistic software can never be casually given to external organizations otherwise it will pose a risk of leakage of personal data collected during the census
因此，我擔心這次遺失平板電腦，推想出5,000多部電腦有否做到完全清洗資料的程序？
Therefore I am worried that the incident involving the lost tablets will bring out the question if personal data stored in these 5 000 computers concerned were completely erased
去年，審計署提交報告，指香港海關、環境保護署、路政署及政府資訊科技總監辦公室均於前年6個月期間，共有107件非耗用物品下落不明，涉及45萬元。
Last year a report by the Audit Commission stated that a total of 107 inventory items kept by the Customs and Excise Department Environmental Protection Department Highways Department and Office of the Government Chief Information Officer were found missing during a six - month period in the year before last . The cost of these missing items amounted to 450,000
當中32項物品具內置數據儲存裝置，包括個人電 腦、手提電腦等，可能涉及保密資料外泄，但未有向保安局報告，違反保安規定。
Among these items 32 were embedded with data storage devices including personal computers notebook computers and so on which might involve leakage of classified information . Yet in violation of security requirements the departments concerned did not report the losses of these devices to Security Bureau
當然，如出現任何閃失，應主動向市民匯報。
Of course it should actively notify the public in case of any incident
主席，我動議講稿附錄1D修正案編號28，議決削減大約相當於政府統計處個人薪酬下薪金的全年預算開支。
Chairman I move Amendment No . 28 as set out in Appendix 1D to the Script which seeks to cut an amount of funding approximately equivalent to the annual estimated expenditure on the personal emoluments incurred by the Census and Statistics Department CSD
我想說的一件事，是與免費電視發牌事件有關的。
I will speak on an issue related to the domestic free television programme service licence
事件發生至今，政府仍未就香港電視網絡不獲發牌的事件公布評分準則，以及發牌要三選二的理由。
Up to this moment the Government has yet to make public the assessment criteria for not approving HKTVNs application for a licence and the reasons for cherry - picking two out of three applicants
這項事件最近今年有甚麼發展呢？
Is there any new development in regard to the incident this year?
何沛謙指出，他當時身為通訊局主席，跟很多市民同樣對此決定感到非常驚訝，亦非常失望。
Mr Ambrose HO pointed out that as the Chairman of CA he also felt very surprised and disappointed same as the general public then
何沛謙在2008年上任初期已希望讓公眾看到，通訊局會公平、公正處理問題。
As early as in 2008 when Mr Ambrose HO first took office he wished to demonstrate to the public the CAs fairness and impartiality
其實，如果要削減的話，不如連通訊局的預算開支也削減，因為政府可能是基於"一男子"的因素或意見，而完全推翻通訊辦提供的詳細研究和意見。
After all if we were to cut the expenditure I would suggest that we also cut the estimated expenditure to be incurred by CA because the Government just completely overrode the detailed studies and advice provided by OFCA probably due to factors or opinions in consideration of that single man
政府與以往積極配合生意人的做法完全背道而馳。
The Government totally betrayed its previous practice under which it actively facilitated entrepreneurs in the past
按照規定，在這項辯論中，議員的發言內容應圍繞是否支持這58個總目的款額納入附表，但大家也觀察到，剛才很多議員都踴躍發言，而主席採取了一個較寬鬆的處理手法，容許議員回應其他議員提出的不同論點。
As required Members should only speak on whether they support the sums for the 58 heads standing part of the Schedule in this debate but according to our observation many Members have spoken enthusiastically and the Chairman has adopted a more lenient approach allowing Members to respond to the different viewpoints put forth by other Members
黃碧雲議員覺得不應該慶祝，覺得像喪事，不像喜事，何君堯議員便問，如果她家中有人死了，她會否覺得是喜事？
Dr Helena WONG said that 1 July should not be celebrated; it was more like a funeral than a happy event . Then Dr Junius HO asked if it was a happy event when someone in her family passed away
我希望主席繼續以這種手法主持會議，讓更多議員充分表達意見。
I hope the Chairman will continue to chair the meeting in such a manner so as to allow more Members to voice their views
但是，建制派的立場是一事歸一事，他們不會脅迫政府。
However the stance of the pro - establishment camp is that different matters are to be handled separately and they will not pressurize the Government into doing something
過去數年，大家還會假惺惺地說，很擔心出現財政懸崖，並要求建制派和民主派與財政司司長一起討論，但現在已不彈此調。
In the past few years some people would pretentiously talk about their concern of a fiscal cliff and requested Members of the pro - establishment and democratic camps to discuss with the Financial Secretary but this year they no longer play this old tune
如果問我3司13局中哪個局最"廢"、最應該整個局被削除？
If you ask me among the three Secretaries of Departments and 13 Directors of Bureaux which Policy Bureau is most unproductive and should be scrapped even though I had once filibustered to obstruct the establishment of the Innovation and Technology Bureau I think the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau is the most unproductive
我上一節已提到，政制及內地事務局在上一個財政年度的預算與實際開支相差10%以上，即預留的款項未有用盡，反映局方沒有盡力使用這些錢，但在新一個財政年度，其預算卻較上一個財政年度的實際開支高了17.2%。
I have already mentioned in the last session that there is a 10 % difference between the actual and estimated expenditure of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau in the last financial year reflecting that not all the money allocated had been spent and the Bureau had not done its best to spend the money . But in the new financial year the estimated expenditure is 17.2 % higher than the actual expenditure in the preceding financial year
有何指標可以衡量支出和花費是否值得？
Are there any indicators to assess whether the money is well spent?
政制及內地事務局亦有在內地舉辦香港特區成立20周年的慶祝活動，由於修正案已包括這方面，我就不再討論了。
The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau will also hold activities in the Mainland to celebrate the 20 anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong SAR but since this issue has been mentioned in a number of amendments I will not discuss further
所以，為何我認為若要關閉3司13局中的1個部門，政制及內地事務局應排在首位。
That is why I think the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau should top the list if we are to scrap one bureau among the three Secretaries of Departments and 13 Directors of Bureaux
有人說政制受《基本法》限制，受人大八三一決定限制，受中港關係限制，譚志源小小一個局長，也只能靠邊站。
There is a saying that the development of our constitutional system is limited by the Basic Law the NPCSCs 31 August Decision also the China - Hong Kong relation . As a minor official Secretary Raymond TAM can only stand on one side
其實，歧視條例已有20多年歷史，在殖民地時代1995年至1996年間訂立的4項歧視條例，當然有很多缺失，應該盡快檢討。
As a matter of fact the Discrimination Laws were enacted over 20 years ago and the four anti - discrimination ordinances were enacted during the colonial era in 1995 - 1996 . There are naturally many deficiencies and reviews should be conducted expeditiously
根據預算案，政制及內地事務局有5個綱領，除政制外，便是內地事務、內地及台灣事務。
In this years Estimate the Bureau has five Programmes apart from Constitutional Affairs there are also Mainland Affairs and Mainland and Taiwan Affairs
有關促進不同性傾向性別認同人士的平等機會方面，立法會有關的事務委員會剛進行討論，局長當然也是缺席。
Concerning the promotion of equal opportunities among people of different sexual orientation or gender identity the relevant Panel of the Legislative Council had a discussion earlier . The Secretary was certainly absent
可是，若是數間社福機構一同簽署，便不會有人指責了。
However if several social welfare organizations sign together no one would criticize them
