代理主席，根據政府統計處上月公布，現時本港失業人數接近25萬人，就業不足人數亦有接近13萬人。
Deputy President according to the figures released by the Census and Statistics Department last month there are close to 250 000 unemployed and 130 000 underemployed in Hong Kong
我希望政府可以站在市民的一邊，更"貼地"、更務實地接納議會內不同議員的意見，亦盡快就失業 援助金作出認真的探討和處理，體現有為和行政主導的政府應有的承擔。
I hope the Government can stand by the people and accept the opinions of Legislative Council Members in a more down - to - earth and more pragmatic manner . It should also seriously examine and deal with the unemployment assistance so as to undertake the due commitment of a proactive and executive - led government
主席，感謝陳健波議員動議今天的議案。
President I thank Mr CHAN Kin - por for moving todays motion
香港人少運動、工作壓力大，越來越容易患上都市病，日積月累很容易變成慢性疾病。
Doing little exercise and working under great pressure Hong Kong people are increasingly prone to urban diseases which can easily become chronic diseases over time
主席，當整體市民健康得以提升，就可以減輕醫療系統的負荷，亦可以間接減低對安老院舍照顧服務的需求。
President when the overall health of the public is improved the burden on the healthcare system can be alleviated and the demand for elderly residential care services can also be indirectly reduced
今天我想提醒政府，公共健康政策是"大落後"，以及對維護市民身心健康的不重視，其實會導致公營醫療出現缺口。
Today I would like to remind the Government that the public health policy is lagging far behind and the lack of serious attention to maintaining the physical and mental health of the public will actually lead to a gap in public healthcare services
昨天，銀齡咭相關事宜小組委員會參觀了賽馬會"a家"樂齡科技教育及租賃服務中心。
Yesterday the Subcommittee on Issues Relating to the Silver Age Card conducted a visit to the Jockey Club age at home Gerontech Education and Rental Service Centre
該機構會綜合長者的身體狀況和家居環境，向"老友記"提供多功能服務，包括多功能輪椅、電動床、高科技輔助餵食儀器等工具，旨在令他們可以自我照顧或讓其照顧者輕鬆照顧，這樣絕對是未來安老照顧服務的趨勢。
Based on comprehensive assessment of their physical conditions and home environments the said organization will provide the elderly with multi - functional services as well as such tools as multi - functional wheelchairs electric beds and high - tech feeding aids with a view to enabling them to take care of themselves or be easily taken care of by their carers . This is definitely the future trend of elderly care services
我知道政府現時有一個10億元的樂齡及康復創科應用基金，資助安老及康復服務單位租賃和試用科技產品，亦已經批出4次共8輪 的撥款。
I know that currently the Government has a 1 billion Innovation and Technology Fund for Application in Elderly and Rehabilitation Care to subsidize elderly and rehabilitation service units to rent and try out technology products and a total of eight funding rounds have been completed in four stages
我建議勞工及福利局可以鼓勵更多社福機構申請，令樂齡科技更普及。
I suggest that the Labour and Welfare Bureau should encourage more social welfare organizations to apply for the Fund so that gerontechnology will become more prevalent
主席，完善選舉制度後，政府更有條件和能量去治理特區。
President following the improvement of the electoral system the Government has better leverage and more energy to govern the SAR
在2004年已有國際機構研究指出，當市民患上重大疾病，所涉及的醫療開支會急劇增加；若因此病故，醫療支出更加飆升至6至7倍。
Back in 2004 an international organizations study already revealed that when a person suffered from a serious illness the cost of medical care would increase dramatically; if the person consequently died the cost of medical care would increase six to sevenfold
因此，如何維護不同年齡市民的健康是至關重要的課題。
Therefore how to maintain the health of people of all ages is a crucial issue
所以，我同意議案中提到：以新思維制訂公共健康政策。
Therefore I agree with the suggestion in the motion to formulate a public health policy with a new mindset
主席，現時社會上有很多聲音批評安老院舍宿位和長者中心設施供不應求，要求政府投放更多資源，增加相關配套設施，而我過往與民建聯均努力一步一腳印地爭取，我們也不是第一次向特區政府提出醫療安老的相關建議，但當局似乎是"懶懶閒"、"慢吞吞"。
President at present there are many voices in society criticizing the inadequate supply of places of residential care homes for the elderly and elderly centre facilities and requesting the Government to put in more resources to increase the relevant supporting facilities . Together with the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong I have also been pushing for this taking one step at a time . It is not the first time that we have made suggestions to the SAR Government on healthcare and elderly care but the authorities seem to be lackadaisical and laggard about them
此外，局長剛才說，截至2020年年底，食安中心已抽取1300個相關樣本。
Besides the Secretary said earlier that as at the end of 2020 1 300 related samples were collected
局長，可否再增加抽驗樣本，以確保病毒不會流入本港？
Secretary can the authorities step up testing to ensure that Hong Kong will not be affected by the virus?
此外，就具體的賠償問題，當局可否個別地與他們直接交流和處理呢？
Besides on the issue of specific compensation can the authorities engage in exchanges and deal with it directly with individual tenants?
局長，我經常強調"多聚會，少誤會；多溝通，實成功"，而我亦知道當局的前線同事亦有與他們互動。
Secretary as I often emphasize more meetings can reduce misunderstanding; more communication is definitely a key to success and I also know that the frontline staff of the authorities have likewise interacted with them
該區近年有多個住宅項目落成及入伙，令人口不斷增加。
With the completion of and intake of residents for a number of residential projects in that area in recent years its population has been increasing incessantly
主席，我想問局長，過往由於政府規劃失當，後知後覺，監管不力，令現時將軍澳居民擔心混凝土廠的重置會將污染問題轉嫁到他們的地區。
President I would like to put a question to the Secretary . Due to improper planning being slow on the uptake and ineffective supervision on the part of the Government in the past the residents of Tseung Kwan O are now worried that the reprovisioning of the CBPs will transfer the pollution problem to their area
究竟政府在規劃尚未出台前完成混凝土廠的安排，是否反映規劃出現一些問題呢？
Does the completion of the CBP arrangement by the Government before the plan is available reflect that there are some problems in terms of planning?
主席，將軍澳第137區內一幅約80公頃用地，現時以臨時政府撥地方式用作臨時填料庫，直至本年12月31日。
President a site of approximately 80 hectares in Area 137 of Tseung Kwan O is currently used as a temporary fill bank by way of Temporary Government Land Allocation TGLA until 31 December this year
無可否認，資源雖然增加了，卻只像在水塘中加入很小量的水一般，完全見不到影響，也不會感到安老服務會得到甚麼改善。
Undeniably the resources are increased but the increase is like a droplet added to a pond . It is expected that the result will be utterly inadequate and it will be impossible to actually improve the elderly services
我們亦曾進行調查及提出建議，希望勞工及福利局考慮，包括成立100億元基金，協助現有院舍提升服務質素、增加人手及培訓員工。
We have conducted surveys and made recommendations for consideration by the Labour and Welfare Bureau . One of the recommendations is that a 10 billion fund be set up to assist in enhancing the service quality of existing homes stepping up manpower and providing staff training
但大家明白，如果要等候那麼長時間，很多正在輪候的長者可能無法等到宿位。
However we all understand that many elderly persons who have been waiting for a place may not be able to wait that long
所以，我認為政府，特別是勞工及福利局局長應該考慮我們的建議，增加一個100億元的基金，以提升現時的人手數目和質素，甚至增添一些設備。
I thus hold that the Government especially the Secretary for Labour and Welfare should consider our proposal of setting up a 10 billion fund to enhance the existing manpower service quality or even the facilities . We once proposed a way to reduce manpower while maintaining the residential care home services
其實，一些高服務質素的院舍正在這樣做，只是一些私人院舍或投資較小的院舍無法做得到。
In fact some higher - standard RCHEs have already adopted this practice . Only private or small - scale homes cannot afford to do so
政府能否在這方面協助他們提升服務水平，達致我們的要求呢？
Can the Government assist them in this regard so that they can enhance their service to meet the requirements?
有很多同事，包括郭家麒議員和陳沛然議員談到，因為醫療人手不足，香港的醫療服務正處於一個非常困難的局面。
Many Members including Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Dr Pierre CHAN have talked about the severe shortage of medical manpower which has put medical services in Hong Kong in a very difficult situation
我奉勸郭家麒議員和陳沛然議員，在這方面與廣大市民走在一起，就醫療人手不足開放討論，共同解決目前所遇到的困難。
I urge Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Dr Pierre CHAN to join hands with the general public and have an open discussion on the problem of insufficient medical manpower and together find a solution to the problems we now encounter
政府在檢討事件後，認為需要增加人手加強巡查。
After reviewing the incident the Government concluded that the manpower of the inspection team must be strengthened
所以，政府今次的財政預算案可能很多地方都未必能夠盡如人意，但我希望局長能夠聆聽我們的意見，加以改善。
This Budget of the Government may leave much to be desired but I still hope that the Secretary can listen to our views and make improvement
除了兩個"新"外，政府也應加強投資於現時的長者醫療服務。
Apart from the two new initiatives the Government should also invest more in the existing healthcare services for the elderly
根據2019年統計處一份報告，香港居民患有高血壓的比率相當高，其次為膽固醇過高，以及糖尿病。
According to a report of the Census and Statistics Department in 2019 Hong Kong residents have a high rate of hypertension followed by high cholesterol and diabetes
故此，我支持陳健波議員的議案。
I therefore support Mr CHAN Kin - pors motion
此外，政府應優化長者醫療券計劃，包括研究稍為擴闊醫療券使用範圍，允許購買部分需求度高的醫療用品例如助聽器。
In addition the Government should improve the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme including studying the possibility of slightly expanding the scope of vouchers to allow the purchase of some high - demand medical supplies such as hearing aids
所謂的"新"，我認為可以從兩方面入手。
I think the so - called new mindset can start from two initiatives
如果政府將以上的建議全部落實，相信長者一定能夠享受更優質的老年生活。
If the Government implements all of the above recommendations I believe the elderly will be able to enjoy a better quality of life in their twilight years
目前政府的醫療政策一般會界定長者為65歲或以上的人士。
At present the Governments healthcare policy generally defines elderly people as those aged 65 or above
如果有，這就不單是空穴來風，亦可能是一個事實。
If the answer is in the affirmative then such reports are based not on rumours but may be the fact
只是一小時生活圈、交通圈。
It is only a one - hour living circle and commute circle
我總覺得混凝土廠臨海是好的，但這有一個弊病，因為臨海有最好的海景，很多房屋發展必然意欲選址該處，但政府卻把那些地方用作工業區，的確是一種浪費土地的安排。
I always think it is good to have a CBP on the waterfront but there is a drawback because waterfront sites have the best sea view and many of such sites will certainly be selected for housing developments but the Government is using those areas as industrial areas which is indeed a waste of land
然而，我亦聽到類似的說法，說混凝土廠的成本在於運輸，所以局長剛才說一小時運送是一個非常重要的時間。
However I have also heard a similar argument that the cost of the CBP lies in transportation and thus the Secretary has just said that one hour delivery is a very important time
但是，我覺得按照政府現時的發展趨勢，局長剛才說正在做一項研究，其實此項研究是多餘的，香港有多大？
However I think that according to the trend of development undertaken the Government the study which the Secretary said just now is being conducted is actually superfluous . How big is Hong Kong?
主席，社會上固然關注警務人員的操守問題，但亦有對裁判官作出的指控提出質疑。
President although public concern about the conduct of police officers does exist there are also queries about some accusations made by magistrates
即是說，如果他們在行使其監警會委員的權力時，可能因疏忽而引致訴訟，可獲豁免承擔民事責任。
In other words in exercising their powers as members of the Committee they are exempted from civil liabilities should litigations be brought possibly due to negligence
主席，我想就"總目121―獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會"作評論。
Chairman I would like to comment on Head 121―Independent Police Complaints Council
故此，2014年由郭琳廣律師出任監警會主席後，其實我們多位同事也曾在議會上，詢問保安局局長為何會由一名律師，而非資深大律師出任主席。
Therefore since Mr Larry KWOK assumed the Chairmanship of IPCC in 2014 many of Honourable colleagues have asked the Secretary for Security in the Council why the position is held by a solicitor instead of a Senior Counsel
就監警會的架構、組成和資源不論是財務資源或人力資源我也是有很多意見的。
As regards the structure membership and resources of IPCC―financial or human resources―I have many views to express
可是，在近兩三年獲委任的委員中我當然不可以在此開名有一些相當支持政府和警方。
However among the members appointed in the last two to three years―or course I cannot name them here―some are very supportive of the Government and the Police
其實，監警會的角色並非要支持警方，而是要以公平、公正的態度，審視警方收到的投訴個案。
In fact IPCCs role is not to support the Police but examine complaints received by the Police in a fair and impartial manner
這個如此政治化的組成，對於監警會在公信力或獨立性方面，是完全沒有幫助的。
Such politicized membership is completely counterproductive to the credibility and independence of IPCC
最近3年，監警會的宣傳部門曾委託香港大學向市民進行問卷調查，調查監警會在市民心目中的公信力。
In the last three years the publicity department of IPCC has commissioned the University of Hong Kong to conduct questionnaire surveys of public perception of IPCCs credibility
當然，監警會絕對不可以招聘現職或退休警務人員，這是一個很好的防火牆。
Certainly IPCC must not recruit serving or retired police officers . It is a very good firewall
羅冠聰議員剛才問為甚麼監警會沒有調查權力，這是歷史遺留下來的問題。
Mr Nathan LAW has just asked why IPCC does not have any power of investigation
在草擬《條例》時，這個問題其實已討論很久。
It is a problem left behind by history . During the drafting of the Ordinance this issue was given lengthy discussion
我很明白，社會人士對監警會有調查權力的訴求，但我也明白到，前線的警務人員為甚麼懼怕監警會有調查權力，因為這6年來我跟進的個案不下數百宗，而我看到其實很大部分的個案主席，是很大部分，不是全部是對警方抱持偏見的人士，不停向警方作出很無謂的投訴。
I understand that society has an aspiration for IPCC to have power of investigation . But I also understand why frontline police officers fear IPCC being given this power . In these six years I had followed up over 100 cases and I noticed that the great majority of cases―Chairman it was the great majority not all―were lodged by people holding bias against the Police and they kept lodging pointless complaints with the Police
回看資深大律師黃福鑫擔任主席的年代，投訴警方獨立監察委員會也有很多問題，特別是眾多訴訟纏身。
In retrospect during the era of the Chairmanship being held by Mr Ronny WONG Senior Counsel the Independent Police Complaints Committee was also plagued with problems in particular litigations
法案委員會舉行了1次會議，與政府當局討論《條例草案》。
The Bills Committee had held one meeting to discuss the Bill with the Administration
作為政府帳目委員會副主席，我以往亦曾對這些部門作過一些嚴厲批評。
As the Deputy Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee I also made some severe criticisms against these departments in the past
由此可見，支出在一定程度下，是可以控制，亦應該控制。
From this it is evident that expenditure can and should be controlled to a certain extent
主席，我現在以海洋公園的54億元，以及投資在國泰航空有限公司的290億元為例。
President I am citing the amount of 5.4 billion for Ocean Park and the amount of 29 billion invested in Cathay Pacific Airways Limited as an example
很多朋友問我，為甚麼海洋公園的50多億元要經立法會批准，但國泰航空的290億元則不需要立法會批准。
Many friends have asked me why the amount of over 5 billion for Ocean Park requires the approval of the Legislative Council while approval of the Legislative Council is not required for the amount of 29 billion for Cathay Pacific
有報章報道在食物環境衞生署的一些防治蟲鼠組，有一些外聘的工友工作 20分鐘便可以領取1天的薪酬。
It has been reported in the press that a number of outsourced workers in some pest control sections of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department got a days pay for working 20 minutes only
當然，我們要收入增加，經濟活動亦要增加，因為經濟活動增加才令稅收增加，我希望財經事務及庫務局局長和財政司司長會認真思考有否機會審視稅制的問題。
Of course if we want to increase revenue economic activities will have to be increased as well because tax revenue will only be increased with thriving economic activities . I hope that the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury as well as the Financial Secretary will seriously consider whether there is an opportunity to review the issue of tax regime
主席，政府提出依據《香港終審法院條例》第6條，委任張舉能法官為香港終審法院的首席法官。
President the Government proposed the appointment of the Honourable Mr Justice Andrew CHEUNG Kui - nung as the Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal CFA in accordance with section 6 of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance Cap . 484
故此，首席法官的另一項重要責任，就是讓公眾在司法機構行事中看到法庭如何捍衞法治、人權，以及各項在《基本法》、《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》等人權公約下受到保障的權利。
Therefore another major duty of the Chief Justice is to demonstrate to the public that in the course of action taken by the Judiciary the court defends the rule of law human rights and various rights protected by the Basic Law and the covenants such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
最近有一些案件令我相當關注，就是很多被檢控的示威者均在法庭上向法官投訴遭受警員毆打或延誤接受醫療等問題。
I am quite concerned about some recent cases in which many demonstrators who were prosecuted complained in court about being assaulted by police officers or delayed in receiving medical treatment
如果這些指控屬實，我認為我們的刑事檢控制度實在有不公允的地方，當中是否存在系統性濫權或濫告？
If such allegations are true I think our public prosecutions system is indeed unfair . Does it involve any systemic abuse of power or indiscriminate prosecution?
法庭作為訟辯雙方之間的仲裁者或裁決人，我認為法官在這些情況下亦有責任跟進和深究有關指控，而不是說與案情無關便不作理會。
The court serves as an arbitrator or adjudicator between two parties ie . the prosecution and the defence . I am of the opinion that a judge also has the duty to follow up and look into the allegations rather than ignoring them by saying that they are not relevant to the facts of the case
如果法庭只尊重判案而漠視案件在處理過程中，出現程序上的人權問題，甚至將之說成這不是法庭處理的問題，只要求被告到警察投訴課投訴的話，公眾甚至被告人又怎可能對刑事檢控和司法制度有十足信心？
If the court only focuses on adjudicating cases and neglects the procedural human rights issues arising in the course of case handling or even says that such issues should not be dealt with by the court and merely asks the defendants to lodge complaints with the Complaints Against Police Office how can members of the public or the defendants have full confidence in public prosecutions and the judicial system?
同時，他決定有關法官暫時不應審理任何涉及類似政治背景的案件。
He has also decided that the judge concerned should not for the time being deal with any cases involving a similar political context
我對馬道立首席法官的做法表示認同，司法機構果斷糾正做得不好的地方，重申正確立場和原則並不會損害法庭威嚴，反而會令公眾對法庭有更大的認同和尊敬。
I agree with Chief Justice Geoffrey MAs approach . The Judiciary took resolute action to rectify errors and reiterated the correct stance and principles . This would not damage the prestige of the court but rather help the court gain more public recognition and respect
其次，我也想談談香港的法官，我並非批評法官，我只是看到一些判案的判詞後作出評論。香港作為奉行普通法的地區，一個雙語地區，中文和英文均是法庭可接受的語文；同樣地，在立法會內，亦接受以中文和英文進行辯論。
Secondly I would also like to talk about the judges in Hong Kong
主席，局長在主體答覆第一部分第二段提及："環保署並沒有發現在曾被施放催淚彈地區附近的監測站錄得的粒子水平出現異常的情況。
President the Secretary mentioned in paragraph two of part 1 of the main reply that EPD did not find any anomalies in the PM levels recorded at the monitoring stations near the areas where tear gas was launched
我們希望主席你一個人主持會議，不應有5個人垂簾聽政，你不需要這些人來保護，對嗎？
We hope that you alone preside at the meeting without having five people at your side to pull the strings behind the scene . You do not need their protection right?
首先，我認為秘書長有權這樣做。
First I think the Secretary General has the right to do so
《宣誓及聲明條例》第19條清楚訂明，立法會議員須在任期開始後盡快作出立法會誓言，如在緊接立法會全體議員普通選舉後的立法會會期首次會議上而又於選舉立法會主席之前作出，須由立法 會秘書監誓。
Section 19 of the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance stipulates that a member of the Legislative Council shall as soon as possible after the commencement of his term of office take the Legislative Council Oath which if taken at the first sitting of the session of the Legislative Council immediately after a general election of all members of the Council and before the election of the President of the Council shall be administered by the Clerk to the Council
你是否需要這5位立法會議員的保護？主席，這成何體統？
Do you need those five Members to protect you? . Chairman that is most improper!
我覺得這樣做是開了一個非常壞的先例。
I think a very bad precedent has been set
主席，你是非常資深的議員，我相信你亦很熟悉《議事規則》。
Chairman you are a seasoned Member and I believe you are also very familiar with the Rules of Procedure RoP
朱凱廸也隨便發言，成何體統......
Mr CHU Hoi - dick also spoke casually
但是，你們若不接納，可繼續發言或運用你們的選票，這才是在議事堂上向市民展示的優質辯論，請還大家一個莊嚴的議事堂，可以嗎？
However if you still find this unacceptable you may continue to make comments or make use of your votes . That should be the kind of quality debate conducted in this Chamber that you can show to the public . Will you please return to us a solemn Chamber?
主席，我希望你不要接受這些行為，不要害怕他們，不要欺善怕惡。
Chairman I hope that you will not accept such kind of behaviour . Do not be afraid of them do not bully the weak and fear those who are tough
我們的主旨只有一點，便是要求政府立項......
We have only one major objective that is we request the Government to place on the agenda
對於姚議員的修正案，我是支持的，但我覺得他不需要把我議案中有關酌情權的字眼刪走。
I am supportive of Dr YIUs amendment but I find it unnecessary for him to delete the wording related to discretionary powers in my motion
我聽到姚松炎議員說最憂慮的是我原議案提出的"酌情處理有實質困難的個案"，他對此有點保留。
Dr YIU Chung - yim said that he was most concerned about the proposal to exercise discretion in handling cases with practical difficulties in my original motion
我想告訴他，也想告訴大家，我十分希望今天大家能夠求同存異，大家就兩項修正案只存在分析上的分歧。
He has reservations in this regard . I would like to tell him and other Members I really hope that we can seek common ground and put aside differences today for our differences exist only in terms of how we analyse the two amendments
所以，我十分希望大家不要因為少許分歧而導致議案最後無法獲得通過，四大皆空，市民撲個空。
For this reason I very much hope that Members minor differences will not cause the eventual failure of the passage of the motion which will fail all the parties concerned and disappoint members of the public
主席，我很希望局長真的重新考慮修訂《條例》，以及在政策上協助有困難的業主。
President I very much hope that the Secretary will really consider afresh amending the Ordinance and implement policies to help property owners faced with difficulties
其實，兩者應相輔相成。
Actually the two elements should complement each other
如果《條例》引致出現許多不可行的情況，我們便應重新思考。
If the Ordinance is unenforceable in many circumstances we should rethink it
當時立法會十分關注這個問題，於是督促發展局加緊巡查和提供協助。
At that time the Legislative Council was gravely concerned about the matter and therefore urged the Development Bureau to step up inspections and offer assistance
說到底，樓宇真的有危險怎算？
At the end of the day what should be done when buildings are in real danger?
香港人爭取落實"一國兩制"中的"兩制"，重視推行資本主義制度。
The people of Hong Kong strived for the implementation of two systems in one country two systems and they attach great importance to the continuous implementation of the capitalist system
然而，時至今日，資本主義制度的確在全球已出現很多變化，無論是從政治的轉變到市民的訴求方面，香港也出現同樣的情況。
However the capitalist system has undergone tremendous changes in the whole world in respect of the political environment and peoples aspirations . Hong Kong has also experienced the same situation
我在今次會議上第一次發言，希望不會受到任何不公平的打斷。
This is my first time to speak in this meeting and I hope that I will not be unfairly interrupted
時間是最寶貴的資源，減少響鐘，委員便能就議題多加發言。
Time is the most precious resource and when the bell is rung fewer times Members have more time to speak on the subject
我收到最多的正面回應，第一是退休年金的安排，即65歲以上人士只要支付100萬元年金，男性每月可領取5,800元，女性則有5,300元，這項政策普遍受到歡迎。
The proposal receiving the most positive response is the retirement annuity that is people aged 65 or above will upon payment of 1 million receive a monthly payment of 5,800 for men and 5,300 for women . People in general welcome this policy
但是，現在由中產變無產、退休變貧窮的人士，實在為數不少。
However at present quite a number of people have moved down from the middle class to become proletariat and live in poverty after retirement
最近發生多宗醫療事故，令大家對公營醫療甚有意見。
After the occurrence of a number of medical incidents recently people are strongly dissatisfied with the public health care system
全民退休保障是一項極具爭議性的議題，因為可能牽涉過於龐大的開支。
Universal retirement protection is a highly controversial issue because it may involve astronomical amount of expenditure
例如設立退休年金制度、優化醫療安全網，並在其他方面支援退休人士，協助他們重投社會。
Can the Government consider implementing it in a piecemeal manner for example setting up a retirement annuity system refining the health care safety net and helping retirees in different ways such as assisting them to return to the labour market?
我們已罵了很多，我想花1分鐘稱讚一下政府部門。
After the severe criticisms I wish to spend one minute to commend the work of certain government departments
自2008年起，我便開始提出西九海濱規劃，希望藉此改善水質，並設立水上的士服務。
Since 2008 I have proposed harbourfront planning in West Kowloon in the hope of improving water quality and introducing water taxi service
這並非一屆政府就能落實的事，但平心而論，過去兩屆政府，特別是今屆政府，環境局作出極大努力。
The task cannot be completed in one term of the Government . Honestly speaking the Environment Bureau of the last two terms of the Government especially the incumbent one has worked very hard
最後，我希望政府，特別是下屆政府在有共識的民生政策及教育政策問題上，應盡量抱持開放態度，但對於未有共識、爭議性太大的議題，可以放慢步伐。
Lastly I hope that the Government particularly the next - term Government will as far as possible adopt an open attitude in dealing with livelihood and education - related policies on which a consensus has been reached whereas in dealing with controversial issues on which no consensus has been reached it may slow down the pace
候任特首提及數項相當有爭議性的問題，表示會先了解問題，營造社會氛圍，我同意這方向。
The Chief Executive - elect has mentioned several controversial issues saying that she would first have an understanding of the problems and create a proper social atmosphere . I agree to her direction
代理主席，她是否在猜測我的動機呢？
Deputy Chairman was she imputing my motive?
以下我想花少許時間討論政制及內地事務局的開支和表現的問題。
Next I would like to spend some time on discussing the issues about the expenditure and performance of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau
