立法會主席、各位議員，首先，在此感謝立法會主席接受我的提議，將原定一般在5月進行的行政長官答問會提前至今天舉行，讓我與各位議員可以集中討論上月30日由全國人大常委會全票通過的新修訂《基本法》附件一《香港特別行政區行政長官的產生辦法》，和附件二《香港特別行政區立法會的產生辦法和表決程序》。
The President of the Legislative Council Honourable Members first of all I would like to thank the President of the Legislative Council for accepting my proposal to advance to today the Chief Executives Question and Answer Session normally scheduled to be held in May so that Members and I can focus our discussion on the amended Annex I to the Basic Law on Method for the Selection of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Annex II to the Basic Law on Method for the Formation of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Its Voting Procedures unanimously passed by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress on the 30 of last month
這是中央繼去年6月30日通過並在香港實施《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區維護國家安全法》後，另一項從國家層面為香港解決問題的重大舉措，充分體現中央對"一國兩制"方針的堅持，並能及時制止嚴重損害香港的行為，確保香港社會穩定安全，既發揮"定海神針"的功能，又符合撥亂反正、正本清源的目的。
This is another major initiative of the Central Authorities to solve problems for Hong Kong at the national level following the passage and implementation of the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 30 June last year in Hong Kong . This fully demonstrates the adherence of the Central Authorities to the principle of one country two systems and timely curbs acts that will seriously damage Hong Kong thereby ensuring the stability and safety of our society . It has not only served as the anchor for stability but has also achieved the purposes of restoring order from chaos and solving problems at root
恐怕從政策方面，我難以採取謝議員剛才提出的即時措施，因為會帶來很嚴重的後果。
Policywise I am afraid that it is difficult for me to adopt such an immediate measure as proposed earlier by Mr TSE because this will bring about very serious consequences
我認為這麼辛苦填了這幅地，上面卻只有一項公共設施，事實上是未能做到我今天倡議的地盡其用。
After making such great effort to reclaim the land it is a pity that only one public facility is built on it . This truly fails to meet the objective of optimizing land uses advocated by me today
但我亦在思考究竟往後如何能有一個更好的制度，令這些規劃在很早期已納入考慮範圍。
However I am also considering whether a better system can be put in place in the future whereby such planning work will be taken into consideration at the very early stage of a project
其實，除了好好利用土地，如何設計好城市景觀亦十分重要。
In fact apart from optimal use of land a good design of city landscape is also very important
今天，我不可能把每一個項目推倒重來，但我可以告訴謝議員或各位議員，未來在項目規劃上，我們希望可以兼顧發展、城市景觀和保育的需要。
Today I cannot scrap every project and start from scratch again but I can tell Mr TSE or Members that in planning future projects I hope that development needs city landscape and conservation will all be taken into account
另一方面是國家安全，國家安全要求是要效忠香港特別行政區、擁護《基本法》，透過現時正審議的公職人員宣誓的修訂條例草案，亦將之"條文化"，所以並不存在資審會可以很隨意排斥一些不是違反了那些客觀條件，又不是不能通過國安審查的人士。
On the other hand there are national security requirements as the candidates are required to bear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR and uphold the Basic Law . This will be codified by way of an amendment bill concerning the oath - taking of public officers under scrutiny . For this reason there is no question of arbitrary rejection by CERC of candidates who have neither contravened those objective conditions nor failed to meet the requirements of the national security review
我希望可以透過謝議員跟他的業界說明，歸根究底，都是依法辦事，尤其是今次引入的是他們必須按參選時的宣誓，要效忠和擁護。
I hope Mr TSE can explain to his sector that everything will proceed in accordance with the law . Particularly under this arrangement candidates are required to swear allegiance to HKSAR and uphold the Basic Law according to the oaths taken when they stood for election
事實上，資審會的成立，提升了現時在選舉條例當中選舉主任的規格。
In fact the establishment of CERC has upgraded the existing requirements of Returning Officers ROs in the election ordinances
沒錯，這次在不到1年要安排3場選舉，對我們來說是很大的挑戰，不論是對負責的政制及內地事務局、律政司以至選舉事務處，亦是一個很大的挑戰。
Yes it is true that arranging three sets of elections in less than one year is a very great challenge to us . It is also a very great challenge to the responsible Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau the Department of Justice as well as the Registration and Electoral Office
所以，我們一定會確保他們有足夠資源進行一些前期的審核工作，以交予資審會作出決定。
Therefore we will ensure that they have sufficient resources to conduct some preliminary assessment before a decision is made by CERC
我們有整套文件可以跟大家分享。
We have a whole set of relevant documents which we can share with Members
不過，我這樣聽來，鄭議員可能簡單化了，或是扭曲了律政司發出的聲明。
Nonetheless from what I hear I think Dr CHENG may have simplified or distorted the statement issued by the Department of Justice
如你不清楚的話，我相信律政司的同事很願意再向你解釋。
If Dr CHENG has any doubts I believe staff of the Department of Justice will be most willing to offer explanation again
我已經解釋過，60至64歲的人士現時雖然沒有資格申領長者綜援，但他們可以申領成年健全人士的綜援。
As I explained earlier while people aged 60 to 64 are ineligible for elderly Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA they can apply for able - bodied adult CSSA
對於領取非長者綜援的健全人士，我們除了提供綜援金和津貼外，亦會提供就業支援。
As for non - elderly able - bodied CSSA recipients we provide CSSA payments and allowances as well as employment support
所以，政府是有整套計劃，而不是貿貿然地剝削、剝奪了一個組別的市民所享有的安全網。
Therefore the Government has a comprehensive package in place and it does not suddenly strip away the safety net provided to a particular group of people
我已經強調過這個改變不是為了省錢。
I have stressed that this change is not a bid to save money
如果要為高中齡就業人士提供額外的支援而需要動用更多的資金，特區政府也願意。
If further support is needed for the employment of the middle - aged and the elderly the SAR Government is willing to allocate more funding
大家也記得，這四五年來大家討論人口老化的問題，因而做了很多工作，例如在大家的支持下提高了公務員的退休年齡。
As Members may recall the Government has done a lot of work as a result of our discussions on population ageing over the past four or five years such as raising the retirement age of civil servants with Members support
在學校和很多方面，也因應人口結構和長壽的趨勢而作出有需要的改動。
In schools and many places necessary changes have been made in response to our demographic trend and the increasing lifespans of our population
這次也是這類改動，不是要剝削長者，亦不是要削減福利開支。
The change on this occasion belongs to this category; its purpose is neither to exploit the elderly nor to reduce welfare expenditure
事實上，情況亦並非如鄺議員所說，60至64歲的人士要"食穀種"。
In fact the situation is not as bad as Mr KWONG has described where people aged 60 to 64 have to live on their meagre savings
不知道大家有否發覺，現屆政府對議會日積月累的不滿事宜，均盡量梳理，盡量尋求方案。
I do not know if Members are aware that the current - term Government has tried its best to resolve the discontent of Legislative Council Members with the Government over the years and seek a solution
但是，我希望議員能夠考慮清楚，如方案行得通便推行，行不通則不推行，希望他們不要年年都以同一理由來批評政府，這對於政府不是很公道。
However I hope Members will consider the proposal carefully . We will implement the proposal if it is considered to be feasible; otherwise we will scrap the proposal . I hope Members will not criticize the Government for the same reason every year for that is not very fair to the Government
我看到同事很辛苦，正如有些報道指出，我自己也親身參與制訂三隧分流的方案，制訂一套我們都認為很合理的方案。
I notice that our colleagues have a hard time . As reported in the news I have personally participated in formulating the proposal on rationalization of traffic distribution among the three RHCs and in my view we have come up with a very reasonable proposal
如果大家看了今天的報章，某位交通專家也表示方案值得推行，希望議員能夠支 持。
If Members have read the news today a transport expert said that the proposal has its merits and hoped that Members would give support
接下來落實這份施政報告就考工夫，因為落實時將會面對各式各樣的困難。
The actualization of this Policy Address as the next step is truly a test of our abilities because we will encounter all sorts of difficulties in the process
現在我相信這個局面將會改變，改變後市民對政府會有期盼，對議會都會有期盼；怎樣滿足市民的期盼呢？
Now I believe the situation is going to change and after that members of the public will have expectations for the Government and the Council . How can public expectations be met?
當然要大家努力。
Certainly we all have to work hard
我覺得最重要的就是努力和看到香港的發展方向，然後齊心協力向這個方向邁進。
In my view the most important of all is to work hard identify the development direction of Hong Kong and then move towards that direction with concerted efforts . In fact there are numerous things we want to accomplish
事實上，我們想做的事情真的很多，陳議員擔任財委會主席，會看到很多部門有很多議題想送來議會審批，期望可以落實；但另一方面，我們亦認同香港是多元社會，不應該變為"單聲道"或"一言堂"，所以如何廣納民意，亦是往後特區官員，無論是政治官員或是公務員，包括議員，需要很認真地處理。
As the Chairman of the Finance Committee Mr CHAN will notice that there are numerous proposals that various departments would want to submit to the Council for vetting and approval hoping that they could be implemented . But on the other hand we also agree that Hong Kong is a pluralistic society and should not become a place with only one voice . Therefore in future SAR officials including political officials and civil servants as well as Members will have to seriously consider how to gauge public views
是誰令這些地區廣納民意的平台被摧毀？
Who destroyed this platform for gauging public views at the district level?
希望這個現象會消失，我可以承諾一定會恢復多與社會各界互動，特別與基層有更多這類互動的機會，從而可以吸納社會意見。
I hope that such phenomenon will never occur . I can undertake to resume more frequent interactions with various sectors of society especially the grass roots with a view to taking heed of public views
當然，在很困難的情況下，我們都爭取做事，但真的很困難。
Of course despite the extremely difficult situation we still strive to get things done albeit with great difficulty . On the other hand I was also aware that this might be a deep - seated issue
我想你剛才說的項目規劃了最少10年以上，10年前可能大家都未看到會有如此大的轉變，就是粵港澳大灣區會提升至國家經濟規劃的層面。
I believe the project you just mentioned was planned at least a decade ago . Perhaps none of us could foresee such a substantial change a decade ago and that is the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao GBA would be escalated to the level of state economic plan
這是為何我們現屆政府這麼重視亦得到議員的支持要開拓新的土地，要透過"明日大嶼"、人工島填海開拓新的土地，那就有很多空間可以作調動。
This explains why the current - term Government attaches so much importance to the development of new land which also has the support of Members . Through Lantau Tomorrow and the reclamation of artificial islands we will obtain new land and additional space for mobilization
如果沒有新的土地，來來去去都困在這個情況之下，就會不斷出現陳議員提及的不協調的土地運用。
In the absence of new land we will have our hands tied up and the disharmony of land use as Mr CHAN has mentioned will appear time and again
所以，陳議員剛才提出要改變今天"重治療，輕預防"的醫療體制，我完全同意，這亦是我多年來希望看到的，所以我剛才在開場發言提到，過去兩份施政報告已就醫療部分勾劃出願景和行動，我們在2019年將會進入落實期。
Thus I entirely agree with Ms CHAN that we must change the current health care system which focuses on treatment and neglects prevention . That is also the change that I hope to see over the years . Thus as I said in my opening remarks my two previous policy addresses had outlined the visions and actions in respect of health care and in 2019 we will enter into the implementation stage
最近香港中文大學楊永強教授進行了一項研究，得出的結論是，我們每投放港幣1元於社區醫療便可以為緊急醫療服務節省8.4元，有了這項數據，從我的理財新哲學的角度看來，這是很值得投資的。
Recently Prof YEOH Eng - kiong of The Chinese University of Hong Kong conducted a research; the conclusion was that for every HK1 invested in community care we could save HK8.4 on acute care costs . Based on these figures and from the perspective of my new fiscal philosophy it is worth investing in this area
我們已要求食物及衞生局全面展開於其他17區覓地建設這類地區康健中心，亦會加強在預防、疫苗接種及身體檢查等方面的工作。
We have asked the Food and Health Bureau to commence on identifying land for building district health centres in the other 17 districts and strengthen its work on disease prevention vaccination and medical examination etc
如果要詳細說明，要花很多時間，所以，我希望日後有機會跟陳議員或各位特別關心醫療體系的議員詳細討論，如何可以在香港達致一個文化上的轉變，因為不單政府作為服務提供者要改變思維，對於過分倚賴治療服務或不經常保障個人健康的市民，也可能需要在某種意識文化上作出改變。
If I have to explain in detail it will take a long time . Thus I hope there will be another chance in the future to discuss thoroughly with Ms CHAN and Members who are particularly concerned about our health care system on how we can bring about a cultural change in Hong Kong . The reason is that the Government as a service provider needs to change its mindset and people who are over - reliant on treatment or do not regularly protect their own health also need to change their way of thinking or culture
所以，現在我已要求食物及衞生局全面檢視醫療券的效能。
Thus I have asked the Food and Health Bureau to comprehensively review the effectiveness of EHVs
我聽到有醫療界朋友說，醫療券可能令情況適得其反，令一些長者不再固定看一位醫生，因為現在有近數百至數千名醫生接受醫療券。
I have heard a member of the medical sector say that the EHV Scheme may have a counter effect in that some elderly persons no longer consult the same doctor as they can choose from hundreds or thousands of doctors who accept EHVs
首先，歡迎陳議員在立法會向我提出第一項質詢。
First of all let me welcome Ms CHAN for putting the first question to me in the Legislative Council
如果真的要達致成效目的，整個社會要做甚麼？
And if we are to achieve the intended result and purpose what the entire community needs to do
有關試行了一段很短時間的"安心出行"，我們很願意強制處所安裝二維碼。
We are very willing to mandatorily require premises to install a QR code of the LeaveHomeSafe mobile app which has been launched for a short while
不過，如果有需要，我們一定會做。
Having said that if that is what we need to do we will definitely do it
所以，回應陳議員，除了難以落實強制全民檢測外，對其他很多工作採用較為嚴格、強制性的態度，是我們現時的方向。
My answer to Mr CHANs question is that except the universal virus test which is difficult to be implemented in a mandatory manner we are now adopting a more stringent and mandatory approach on many other aspects of the work
我想不是聽不到，但從科學的看法，這群離開機場的人已經接受病毒檢測，結果是陰性才會獲准離開，已經留了他們一段時間，所以在那麼短的時間內，沒有理由又會即時有病毒在身。
But from a scientific point of view inbound travellers who leave the airport have already received the virus tests and they are only allowed to leave if they are tested negative . We have to hold them for some time for the test . In such a short period of time it is unreasonable that their body will have the virus again
但當然如果進入指定酒店，特別是針對從高危地方回來的人，便不能自己選擇酒店，可能要入住指定酒店；指定酒店和指定車輛是相對可以做到的，這些工作我們全部都在進行。
But for those who have already resided in designated hotels especially those returning from high risk places they are surely not allowed to choose their hotel . They will have to reside in a designated hotel . It is relatively feasible to arrange the designated hotels and means of transport and we are taking all these steps
簡單而言，更嚴格控制疫情，甚至剛才陳議員說的強制手法，我們已經在做。
To put it simply the stringent counter - epidemic measures or even the compulsory measure which Mr CHAN just mentioned are now being implemented
我希望我們盡快整理一些文件資料，讓議員可以重新看一遍究竟在"外防輸入"現在做到甚麼地步，因為有時還在談豁免人士。
I hope that we can expeditiously compile some documents and information so that Members can take a fresh look at how far we have come in guarding against the importation of cases because we are still talking about the exempted persons sometimes
其實，豁免人士現時已經要接受各樣的限制。
Actually exempted persons are already subject to various restrictions for the time being
不過，是否真的可以透過"外防輸入"而完全解決這個疫情的問題？
Yet will the measure of guarding against the importation of cases be the complete solution to the pandemic problem?
如果將來發現一個28天發病的個案，那麼是否又延長檢疫期？
But then should we further extend the quarantine period in the future upon coming across a case that takes 28 days for the symptoms to show?
我不反對，我們是可以做得更好，不過，這個亦需要考慮市民的接受程度。
I have no objection for we can definitely do better but we also need to consider the extent of public acceptance
但是，提到怎樣可即時幫助這群組，或者我請政務司司長再研究。
Speaking of ways to offer instant help to this group of people however I will perhaps ask the Chief Secretary for Administration to look into it again
所以，我去年聯同幾位局長邀請了一兩百位工友到禮賓府參加茶會，讓我親自感謝他們，亦藉該機會聆聽他們和一些承辦商就如何改善整個外判制度提出的建議。
Therefore last year I together with several Directors of Bureaux invited some 100 to 200 workers to a tea party at the Government House so that I could thank them personally . I also took the opportunity to listen to suggestions made by workers and contractors on how to improve the outsourcing system as a whole
麥議員，對於按政府外判合約提供服務的工友，我充滿敬佩。
Ms MAK I have great respect for workers who provide services under the outsourced contracts
第一個方向是培養公務員。
The first direction is to groom civil servants
另外，公務員的各方面培訓，大家都記得，我在很早階段的施政報告中已經提出要成立一所公務員學院。
Moreover as far as the general training for civil servants is concerned Members may recall that I had proposed the establishment of a civil service college in one of my previous policy addresses years ago
我們亦成立了一個很高層次的諮詢委員會，由馮國經博士領導，無論在了解香港和內地的發展、大灣區的重要性和國際視野方面，為我們未來培訓公務員制訂有關課程。
We have also set up a very high - level advisory board chaired by Dr Victor FUNG to devise future training programmes for civil servants to enhance their understanding of the development of Hong Kong and Mainland and of the importance of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area as well as broaden their international perspective
特區政府會全面配合，包括如有一些獲培養的人才希望能夠有一定的政府經驗，他可以參加我們為這些年輕人士提供的實習，或我們早期推行的影子計劃，可以跟司長、局長熟悉環境，亦可以加入政府的委員會。
The SAR Government will offer full support . For example if the trained talents want to gain some working experience in the Government they may participate in the internship programmes offered for young people or take part in our job shadowing programmes to familiarize themselves with a Secretary of Department or a Director of Bureau . They may also join the various committees of the Government
我相信經過完善選舉制度後，下一屆政府需要再認真研究；如有需要，增加這些政治任命官員以配合公務員隊伍做好管治的工作。
I believe after the electoral system is improved the next - term Government will have to seriously think about it and increase the number of politically appointed officials to complement the civil servant workforce in the administration of Hong Kong when such a need arises
當然，作為特區政府，我們是管治的第一責任人，所以政府的治理人才至為重要。
Of course as the SAR Government is the primary body responsible for the administration of Hong Kong it is imperative for the Government to nurture governing talents
在這項工作方面，我們還在籌謀中，不過我覺得起碼有以下兩個方向。
Planning in this regard is still underway but I reckon that we have at least two of the following directions
所以三跑落成將會為我們的空運帶來客、貨方面非常大的契機。
Therefore the completion of the third runway will present a huge opportunity for both passenger and cargo air transportation
政府在"明日大嶼願景"中有一個機場城市的概念，就是希望善用機場三跑落成後的基建。
The Aerotropolis concept in the Governments Lantau Tomorrow Vision is a plan to utilize the infrastructure of the third runway after its completion
所以，如何善用這些基建，就如剛才黃議員的提問，政府一定會加把勁善用這些基建。
Therefore in response to Mr WONGs question of how these infrastructures can be put to good use the Government will definitely work harder to make good use of these infrastructures
事實上，現在機遇就在眼前，因為粵港澳大灣區的發展，必須要加強連繫，做到"1小時生活圈"，而廣深港高鐵香港段，從香港到廣州只需要40多分鐘，使用港珠澳大橋從香港到珠海亦只需要40多分鐘，這令我們更有條件參與粵港澳大灣區的發展。
In fact such an opportunity is right in front of us . In view of the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area we must strengthen connectivity to establish a one - hour living circle . With the Hong Kong Section of XRL it only takes some 40 minutes to travel from Hong Kong to Guangzhou and a drive from Hong Kong to Zhuhai along HZMB only takes about 40 minutes making us better positioned to play a part in developing the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
局長在主體答覆中清楚表示，300多項涉及警員毆打的投訴中，只有1宗成立，佔不足1%，試問市民如何有信心？
The Secretary has clearly indicated in his main reply that among the 300 - odd complaints involving assault by police officers only one was substantiated accounting for less than 1 % . How can the public have confidence?
然而，政府一直僅表示已交由獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會，就與各項大型公眾活動及警方所採取的行動有關的事宜作出審視，並提交報告及改善建議。
However the Government has all along merely indicated that the matters relating to the various large - scale public events and the operations conducted by the Police have been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Council IPCC for examination and that IPCC would submit a report together with improvement recommendations
監警會的成員均由行政長官委任，因此有市民認為監警會立場親政府，對其工作的獨立性缺乏信心。
As all members of IPCC are appointed by the Chief Executive some members of the public consider that IPCC has a pro - government stance and they have little confidence in the independence of IPCCs work
沒有問題，我重新讀一次。
No problem I read it out once again but please do not split hairs over words again
主席，我想你清醒地想想，我們今天是否......
Chairman would you please be clear - headed and consider whether today we
在這種情況下，要我們選舉主席並不公道，這是第一點。
In that case it is unfair to elect the President . This is the first point
第二，站在你身後的數位議員，剛才在宣誓時遇到一些障礙。
Secondly several Members standing behind you had encountered some obstacles when they took the oath just now
我們是否應該繼續進行會議並選舉主席。
whether we should continue with the meeting and proceed to the election of the President
雖然消防水缸的成本不高，但卻規定須由認可人士簽署才能安裝，導致工程價格非常昂貴。
Although the cost of fire service water tanks is not high all installations must be approved by Authorized Persons and the price of the works is thus jacked up
業主在缺乏專業支援的情況下無法遵從指示，以致提心吊膽，擔心遭到消防處檢控。
Failure to comply with the direction in the absence of professional support has left the owners in great anxieties fearing that FSD might institute prosecution against them
我們建議，作為折衷方案，是否可以容許現時無法安裝水缸的樓宇暫時使用乾粉滅火筒，直至樓宇進行整體維修時才一併改用消防水缸？
We therefore suggest that as an alternative is it possible to allow buildings that cannot install water tank to use dry powder fire extinguishers for the time being until general repair works are carried out by then fire service water tank can be installed?
另一個方案是，正如今年7月保安局副局長也說過，會研究將折衷式消防喉轆系統擴展至6樓，我們對此是同意的。
Another alternative is as advised by the Under Secretary of the Security Bureau in July this year to extend the Improvised Hose Reel System to buildings of six storeys . A feasibility study of the proposal would be conducted and we render our support
不過，我們想提出一點，如果在舊樓密集的地區內有太多樓宇採用折衷式消防喉轆，在執行方面將會有困難。
However we would like to highlight one point and that is in areas where old buildings are densely built the heavy use of improvised hose reel may cause operational problems . I wish to highlight one point
關於這一點，我想請梁美芬議員和政府三思，而且必須小心處理，因為如果業主無法執行指示，並由政府替他們完成，這對很多業主來說不是幫忙，反而會對他們造成更大困擾和更大的財政負擔。
For many owners who cannot afford to comply with the direction the compliance of the work by the Government on their behalf will bring even greater distress and financial burden to them
我認為我們應該改變現時《條例》的思路。
I consider it necessary for us to change the underlying concept of the Ordinance
自從《消防安全條例》在2007年實施以來，很多業主，特別是小型屋苑、單幢樓宇和唐樓的業主一直受到極大困擾，而這種困擾是以3年、5年、7年計的，但至今仍然未能處理和解決有關的消防安全指示，並面臨被起訴的風險。
Since the implementation of the Fire Safety Buildings Ordinance Cap . 572 in 2007 many property owners especially those of small housing estates single - block buildings and tenement buildings have been living in great distress and such distress may have lasted for three years five years or even seven years . Nonetheless they still fail to comply with fire safety directions directions and are liable to the risk of being prosecuted
正正由於官員這種態度，正正由於吳克儉這種賴皮，拖累了香港的教育界整整5年。
It is precisely because of such attitude of the public officials and such shamelessness of Eddie NG that Hong Kongs education sector has been suffering for the past five years
在TSA一事上，大家已不是在討論一個教育議題，即在理論上，哪類評估才對學生最好？
As far as TSA is concerned our discussion is no longer about an education issue
我之前發言時也提到，香港的古物古蹟保育政策需要一個深刻和全面的檢討、改革。
As I said earlier Hong Kongs policy for the conservation of antiquities and monuments calls for a profound and comprehensive review or reform
由發展局局長兼任古物事務監督的制度，往往令古蹟辦跟從了發展局的整體發展方向，跟從了市建局的重建發展方向。
Under the system of the Secretary for Development being the Antiquities Authority AMO will very often follow the overall direction of the Development Bureau as well as the direction of redevelopment of URA
局方經常表示，由於現時未有研究證明全日制較佳，因此認為半日制便可達到課程要求，我覺得這完全是空談。
The Education Bureau has often indicated that in the absence of any studies which have proven that whole - day schooling is better half - day schooling is sufficient to meet the requirements of the curriculum . I consider all these arguments as empty talks at all
以2015-2016年度教育事務委員會會議的出席情況為例，共舉行13次會議，局長只有3次全程在席，其餘大部分時間都只是出席四分之一、三分之一或一半節數。
Take his attendance at meetings of the Panel in the 2015 - 2016 session as an example . Of the 13 meetings held the Secretary had only sat through 3 meetings . In most cases he attended only a quarter one third or one half of the sessions
試問一個局長的表現如何不濟，議員如何憤怒，才會令議員在委員會內把握每個機會，要向他提出不信任動議加以譴責？
One can imagine how poor the Secretary had performed and how furious Members were such that they seized every opportunity in the Panel to move a motion of no confidence to censure him
經過過去兩年對TSA的討論，社會對教育局和局長的信心盡失。
After the discussion on TSA in the past two years the community has lost confidence in the Education Bureau and the Secretary
