說香港在中國南方都可以是錯的，說"回歸"也是錯的，這是甚麼樣的政府？
At present it is wrong to say that Hong Kong is at the southern part of China . It is also wrong to say handover of sovereignty . What sort of Government is it?
我們看到所謂增加教育開支，原來很多事情都沒有做。
We notice that there is a so - called increase in education expenditure but nothing has been done in many aspects
3年加9個月，比日本侵華的3年零8個月還要長，任何兒童在那3年加9個月期間，所有能夠幫助他們要做的事情都已過時。
The period of three years and nine months is even longer than the three years and eight months of Japanese occupation of Hong Kong . After these three years and nine months are gone anything that can be done to help these children will become obsolete
他們在學校成為失敗者，在家庭成為不斷被打罵的中心。
They will end up being losers at school and often beaten and scolded by parents at home
這個政府欠缺甚麼？
What does this Government lack?
是窮得只剩下錢，無遠見，無目光。
It is so poor without vision or goal that only money is left
至於房屋、土地方面，政府很精明，把責任推卸給一個炒雜成軍的土地供應專責小組，繼續將這問題拖延一段時間，讓樓價還有機會繼續攀升，繼續瘋狂。
When it comes to housing and land the Government is so smart that it shirks its responsibility to the Task Force on Land Supply with members of various backgrounds so that this problem can be procrastinated for another period of time during which the property prices can have a chance to soar further irrationally
她說不可以使用這項法例，因為害怕別人打官司。
She said this Ordinance could not be used as she was afraid that people would take the Government to court
這個政府怎會害怕打官司？
How can this Government be afraid of going to court?
它要褫奪議員和參選人資格時有否害怕打官司？
Was this Government afraid of going to court when it disqualified the few Legislative Council Members and the few candidates running for the Legislative Council by - election?
律政司已成為政府的政治打壓工具。
The Department of Justice has already become the Governments tool of political suppression . I see that Secretary Nicholas YANG is here in the Chamber
我們看到的是香港一直走向越來越差的管治。
What we can see is Hong Kong moving towards worsening governance
預算案原本就是應該糾正社會上一些不公的現象，為了一些弱勢社群，無論是等候醫療、藥物、門診服務、手術、安老院、學位和援助的人伸出援手。
The Budget is meant to rectify any unfair phenomena in society and give assistance to some disadvantaged social groups no matter they are waiting for medical services medication outpatient services medical operation places in residential care homes for the elderly university places or other support
現在就是到處貼上膠布，永遠都是一次性的預留撥款。
At present the Government is applying plasters everywhere sticking to its usual approach of ear - marking some one - off funding
我告訴大家，當時他們罵曾俊華預留500億元進行醫改，那500億元在哪裏？
I can tell you that back then they criticized John TSANG for ear - marking 50 billion for medical reform . Where has that 50 billion gone?
我們要求政府成立一個基金用來購買昂貴藥物，但它看不到；我們要求它撥款給輪候兒童精神科醫治學習障礙，無論是專注力失調、過度活躍或自閉症的兒童，但它毫不理睬。
We ask the Government to set up a fund for the purchase of expensive drugs but it turns a blind eye to this request . We ask it to allocate some funding for some children with learning obstacles either suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism who are waiting for child psychiatric services but it is oblivious to our request
這個政府做過甚麼幫助香港市民？
What has this Government done to help the Hong Kong people?
香港人在水深火熱之中，政府卻施政失敗。
When the Hong Kong people are still in dire misery the Government has failed in its administration
這屆政府曾誇下海口，說有新的財政理念，"林鄭"提到理財新哲學。
This Government has boosted about its new fiscal philosophy and Mrs Carrie LAM has mentioned the new philosophy in fiscal management
我謹此陳辭，反對預算案。
With these remarks I oppose the Budget
主席，我再次起來發言，是為了呼籲立法會全體議員支持我建議在本年度財政預算案中削減廉政公署廉政專員白韞六全年薪津開支的修正案。
Chairman I rise to speak again with the purpose of calling upon all Members to support my amendment proposing to cut the personal emoluments of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC Simon PEH from the estimated annual expenditure of ICAC set out in this years Budget
一如我在首次發言中指出，我要求削減白韞六的全年薪津的主要原因有三：第一，他包庇湯顯明案的第一幫兇穆斐文，不單令她無須接受任何行政懲處，更批准她可獲全數約滿酬金，在廉署榮休；第二，白韞六迫走在廉署服務超過30年的李寶蘭女士。
Just as I said in my first speech there are three major reasons for my demanding a cut of the annual personal emoluments of Simon PEH . First as harboured by Simon PEH Julie MU namely the prime accomplice in the Timothy TONG case managed to get off without being subjected to any punishment but was granted end - of - contract gratuity in full upon retirement in the end . Second Simon PEH had forced Ms Rebecca LI who had served in ICAC for more than 3 decades to leave her job
李女士功勳卓著，是一位在廉署內極受擁戴而富有經驗的廉署調查人員，由她出任執行處首長實是眾望所歸，但她竟不明不白地被降職，最終黯然離開，造成廉署大地震，多名高層人士相繼離職，就連廉署的周年晚宴也因此遭超過七成的員工杯葛，結果無法舉行；第三，白韞六竟容許廉署副廉政專員/執行處首長這個重要職位長期懸空。
Her departure had caused turmoil within ICAC where numerous higher - ups left one after the other . Besides more than 70 % of the staff boycotted ICACs annual staff dinner which had to be cancelled as a result . Third Simon PEH has allowed the long standing vacancy situation of the essential post of ICACs Operations Department Deputy CommissionerHead of Operations to go on
自李寶蘭女士離職後，丘樹春先生一直署任有關職位。
Mr Ricky YAU has taken up acting appointment to the post in question since Ms LIs departure
主席，如此重要的職位懸空了差不多3年，他仍說不要"不適當地過早作出晉升決定"，這是甚麼道理來的？
A person will be promoted only when he or she has fully met the work requirements of the post concerned . Chairman you see such an important post has been left vacant for almost three years but he still spoke of not to unduly make any premature decision on promotion . What logic is that may I ask?
環顧各個政府部門，無論是紀律部隊抑或其他職系部門，有沒有一個部門首長職位會懸空3年之久，但仍無須有人正式擔任有關職位的呢？
Just look around the various government departments including the disciplined services departments and other departments do you think it is possible to find a department that allows any of its directorate posts to be left vacant for as long as three years and still does not feel the need to get it filled officially?
在香港歷史上，有沒有發生過這種事？
And has any case like this one ever been recorded in the history of Hong Kong?
政府應有一套透明的升遷制度，合情合理地處理人事升遷事宜，但現時的處境卻是"順我者昌，逆我者亡"。
The Government should have a transparent promotion system in place to deal with staff promotion matters in a reasonable and convincing manner . Nevertheless under the current situation only people who conform to the authority shall thrive whereas those who resist shall perish
這個可不是廉署助理調查主任，或調查主任，或總調查主任，也不是首席調查主任，或助理處長，或處長，而是執行處首長的職位。
What we are talking about is not the post of Assistant Investigator or Investigator or Chief Investigator or Principal investigator or Assistant Director or Director but the post of Head of Operations
林鄭月娥為何不要求白韞六盡快敲定如此重要的人事安排？
Why does Mrs Carrie LAM CHENG Yuet - ngor not demand Simon PEH to finalize as soon as practicable the candidature for such an important post then?
他的解釋令我非常震驚，這人水平之低，令我不敢想象。
His explanation is really shocking and I dare not imagine how inept he actually is
他在覆函的末段指出，根據廉署周年民意調查顯示，市民對廉潔社會的重視及對廉署的支持度均高企在96%以上，證明不論個別高層職位是署任或實任，並沒有對廉署的整體工作及發展造成影響。
He submitted in the last paragraph of the written reply that according to ICACs annual survey the percentage of public support for a corruption - free society and ICAC itself was high above 96 % and this showed that whether a senior post is held by a person on an acting or substantive appointment will not have any impacts on the overall work and development of ICAC
第一，這項調查只反映市民的印象，難道市民的印象就代表廉署整體的工作和發展？
For one thing the survey reflects only the public impression . Is the public opinion in any way representative of the overall efforts and development of ICAC?
他不但未有自省，還自我感覺良好，令我非常痛心，我相信不少市民也像我一般的痛心。
After all these had happened he still sits on his own laurel instead of engaging in self - introspection . This is most excruciating to me and I am sure that many members of the public do share my such feeling
在從前，我們以香港有ICAC為傲，因為我們反貪成功的經驗，足以垂範國際社會。
In the past we used to pride ourselves on having ICAC in Hong Kong because it had set an exemplary model for the international community with its successes in combating graft
因此，主席，我在第一次發言時便曾指出，要重振廉署的聲譽，便必須外誅貪腐，內除惡賊。
Therefore Chairman I pointed out in my first speech that to rebuild ICACs reputation of ICAC we must eliminate graft externally and wipe out the villain internally in the meantime
主席，廉署有一句深入民心的口號："香港勝在有ICAC"。
Chairman . ICAC has a well - known slogan Hong Kongs cutting edge―ICAC
要是繼續讓白韞六破壞廉署的價值和制度的話，則廉署將敗於白韞六之手，而特首林鄭月娥作為白韞六唯一的頂頭上司，實在責無旁貸。
If we continue to allow ICACs values and systems to be harmed by Simon PEH it will eventually be destroyed by him . And so PEHs only immediate supervisor Chief Executive Carrie LAM CHENG Yuet - ngor is duty - bound to bring the situation back on track
我難以想象一個如此重要的部門首長職位，竟可懸空3年，至今仍未敲定確實的人選。
I can hardly imagine how such an important directorate post has been left vacant for as long as three years without any designated candidate
因此，主席，我以非常沉痛的心情提出我的修 正案，要求全數削除廉政專員白韞六的薪津，迫使這人盡早離開廉署，好讓廉署早日重建名聲。
Hence Chairman with a heavy heart I moved my amendment demanding a cut of the personal emoluments of ICAC Commissioner Simon PEH in full so as to force this person to leave early . That way ICAC will be able to rebuild its reputation soon
主席，首先，我對於主席今次辯論的時間安排有些意見。
Chairman first I must say I am not satisfied with the time arrangements for this debate
在昨天數小時的辯論裏，很多議員和我對於很多修正案也未能作出充足的表述，我希望下年的財政預算案審議不會如此。
During the several hours of debate yesterday many Members and I were unable to speak sufficiently on many amendments . Anyway let me return to this discussion now
不過，言歸正傳， 我希望大家支持我的修正案，是就總目21，分目000，削減行政長官的一半薪津預算。
I hope Members can support my amendment on reducing head 22 by an amount equivalent to half of the Chief Executives emoluments in respect of subhead 000
我剛才聽到很多議員就不同的政策範圍作出修訂。
I have heard many Members put forward various amendments concerning different policy areas just now
如果我早些聽到這消息，可能會提出修正案。
If I had heard the news earlier I would have put forward an amendment to cut the salaries of the Secretary
今時今日，政府有多少局長可以左右施政？
Nowadays how many bureau directors can still have the say in their own portfolios?
作為局長、行政長官，他們有否盡力堅持"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"呢？
Have all the bureau directors and the Chief Executive really done their best to defend one country two systems Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy?
香港回歸超過21年，行政長官及其主要官員在維護"一國兩制"和"港人治港"方面，可說一敗塗地。
It is now 21 years into Hong Kongs reunification with the Mainland and the Chief Executive and the principal officials have failed utterly to defend one country two systems and Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong
歷次釋法、褫奪立法會議員資格、褫奪補選參選人資格事件，令香港的政治生態，以及將來如何維持三權分立蒙上很大陰影，雪上加霜。
The many interpretations of the Basic Law the disqualification of Legislative Council Members and disqualification of by - election candidates have cast very big doubts on Hong Kongs political ecology and the future of the separation of powers
在《基本法》下，香港賴以成功的主要原因本來就是我們的制度，而制度必不可少的是接受立法會的監察、三權互相尊重，令香港得以有較為合理的施政。
Under the Basic Law the main cornerstone of Hong Kongs success is our institutions and such institutions must be subject to the monitoring of the Legislative Council . The three powers must respect each other so as to bring forth more reasonable governance in Hong Kong
所以，當我們談到不同議題時，有議員會說食水、醫療問題，但政府已失去為市民找回公道的動力，連這樣的動力也沒有。
When we discuss the amendments Members will draw in various issues like water supplies health care and so on . The main point here is that the Government has long lost the impetus for righting the wrong for the people
為官30多年的林鄭月娥十分厲害，每次出現重大爭議，她也裝作不知情、與她無關，甚至製造不在場證據。
Carrie LAM has been a government official for some 30 years and she is very clever in a sense because every time when any major dispute erupts she will feign ignorance . She will pretend that she has nothing to do with it and even make up her alibi
法律意見會容許"一國兩制"受損嗎？
Will any legal advice permit the damaging of one country two systems?
本港的憲制地位受到如此大的衝擊，政府官員或林鄭月娥工作數十年，這些由公務員再轉為擔任局長的人看到問題也裝作看不到，香港的失敗、敗壞、崩潰就是源於這群人。
The constitutional status of Hong Kong has come under such severe impact but all the bureau directors and Carrie LAM simply turn a blind eye to the whole thing . These are the very people who cause the failure decadence and collapse of Hong Kong
我們將會看到歪理變成真理，打壓變成常態。
We will see sophistry portrayed as the truth and we will also see suppression becoming a rule
我先談談土地。
Let me first talk about land
她曾擔任發展局常任秘書長、5年發展局局長，也擔任了5年政務司司長。
She was once the Permanent Secretary for Development . She was also the Secretary for Development for five years . What is more she even served as the Chief Secretary for Administration for five years
在每次答問會上，當議員問她如何處理土地問題時，她也說已經交由專責委員會處理，不要問她，問黃遠輝。
Whenever she attends any question and answer sessions and when Members ask her how she is dealing with the land problem she will invariably say she has assigned the job to the task force . She will say people should ask Stanley WONG instead
她之後反問為官多年，有哪一次沒有為香港爭取土地？
She will even retort that she has always been seeking to find lands for Hong Kong during her longs years of public service
說的盡是廢話、假話。
Hers are all nonsense and lies
黃遠輝說，香港到了2026年只欠缺108公頃土地，其中不足一半用來興建公屋，結果近30萬人需要輪候平均4.7年，時間越來越長，但特首說她有做工作。
According to Stanley WONG up to 2026 Hong Kong will only face a shortfall of 108 hectares . Only half of these sites are used for public housing construction so almost 300 000 people must wait 4.7 years on average . But the Chief Executive still claims that she has made efforts
土地是一個很大的問題，可能不單是地產商，其實政府也是高地價政策和房屋供應短缺的罪魁禍首。
Land is a big problem . Property developers may not be the only culprits . Actually the Government is the also the culprit responsible for the high land price policy and the housing shortage
社會爭議大，她只是撥火，只對人說香港有"劏房"問題，因為大家不肯填海，不肯發展郊野公園。
She will only fan the flame when social disputes occur . She says subdivided units have emerged simply because people refuse to do reclamation and develop country parks
她說漏了嘴，告訴《明報》記者興建公屋會"起一間，蝕一間"；她卻厲害了，她打造綠置居，"起一間，賺一間"。
Well she had a Freudian slip one day . She told Ming Pao that the building of public housing will incur losses . I think that is why she has come up with the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme
剛公布的最新消息指，李鄭屋邨有單位以500多萬元成交，可以賺大錢，發大達，將來政府多賣公屋，製造極長的輪候時間，政府和地產商跳探戈，製造高地價，然後假裝沒有土地，與政府無關。
It has recently been reported that one unit in Lei Cheng Uk Estate has been sold for some 5 million . You see building public housing can also earn profit and make people rich . From now on the Government can sell more public housing units and then create a very very long waiting queue
可耻，極之可耻。
This is really shameful very very shameful
不過不要緊，政府的政策不是要歡迎香港人，所以無論樓價有多高，對於來自國內的新貴族也不成問題。
Anyway it does not matter because the Government does not aim to please Hong Kong people . You know no matter how high our property prices are the new elites from the Mainland will always have the means to buy them
大家問一問地產代理，去年那1萬多個成交的單位，全部也是豪宅，有多少是來自內地、剛換領身份證的新香港人購買的？
Members can ask property agents to tell them how many of the one thousand luxurious units sold last year were bought by new holders of the Hong Kong Identity Card from the Mainland
每呎兩萬元以上。
We are talking about more than 20 000 per square foot
一個極之無能的政府，只管找方法開源，賣地加上印花稅和土地的收益，財政根本不會有問題，怎會有財政問題？
This very incompetent Government will only look for revenue . You know with all the proceeds from stamp duties and lands it will not have any financial problem . How can it have any financial problem anyway?
醫療，十多二十年，超過20年政府都是用國民生產總值的2.5%至2.7%來處理，她懶得理會。
She says she has done her best . She says she has done her best in all respects . But she has turned a blind eye to the fact that for 10 to 20 years the Government has just used merely 2.5 % to 2.7 % of our GDP for the provision of health care services
一位政府局長可以如此無耻，如此賴皮。
How can a bureau director be so shameless?
當然，雖然政府以林鄭月娥為首，但其他官員，包括聶局長也不要沾沾自喜，他不作聲，其實也是幫兇，我不會評價他個人在想甚麼，不過他身處這個團隊中，綁着相同的安全帶，做傷害香港的事情時，他不會沒有責任。
This administration is led by Carrie LAM but other officials such as Secretary NIP must not think they can be excused . Their silence actually amounts to abetting . I am not interested to know his personal views
我們談財政預算案，我們想做正確的事情，是不會做到的，因為官員聽後也充耳不聞，我們唯有採取這種方法，把主事的官員，包括林鄭月娥和所有司局長拿出來告訴香港人，他們如何對待我們。
When the team harms Hong Kong he cannot be excused . When make things correct in the Budget government officials will not listen . So we will not succeed and must turn to a tactic like this forcing the officials in charge including Carrie LAM the Secretaries of Departments and all bureau directors to tell Hong Kong people how they are treating us
主席，我發言支持經修正的總目款額納入附表。
Chairman I speak to support that the sums for the heads as amended stand part of the Schedule
我一直認為，即使政府庫房錄得龐大盈餘，也應該投資在香港的長遠發展和社會民生建設方面，以及幫助有需要人士。
All along I consider that even if there is a huge surplus in the government coffers the money should be used for investing in the long - term development of Hong Kong and peoples livelihood as well as helping people in need
然而，除了我上周所提出，預算案為創新科技預留500億元是否足夠的問題外，醫療投資能否對症下藥？
Nevertheless besides the query I raised last week about the sufficiency of setting aside 50 billion in the Budget for innovation and technology I also query whether investment in health care can suit the remedy to the case?
雖然預算案預留3,000億元予第二個十年醫院發展計劃，但始 終遠水能否救近火？
Even though 300 billion is set aside in the Budget for the second ten - year hospital development plan can this distant water be used to put out a nearby fire?
如果不能解決醫護人手長期不足的問題，有硬件又如何？
If the problem of long - term shortage of health care manpower cannot be solved what is the point of having the hardware?
主席，最新的財政狀況顯示，去年度政府錄得破紀錄的約1,490億元盈餘，較預算案多出約110億元。
Chairman as indicated in the latest financial position the Government has a record - high surplus of around 149 billion last year exceeding the amount given in the Budget by some 11 billion
有人認為，這剛好抵銷政府額外"派錢"所花的110億元。
Some consider that this amount can well offset the 11 billion spent by the Government on the extra cash handouts
我希望主席能夠把我剛才澄清的投票意向記錄在案。
I hope the Chairman will put on record my voting intention that I clarified just now
特區政府在2017-2018年度錄得過千億元的巨額盈餘，是香港連續14個錄得盈餘的財政年度，庫房儲備亦突破萬億元大關。
The SAR Government has recorded a huge surplus of over 100 billion for 2017 - 2018 which is the 14 consecutive financial year for which Hong Kong has seen a surplus and the fiscal reserves have passed the 1 trillion mark
在這情況下，大家關注的 焦點便落在財政預算案如何善用盈餘，以及投資未來和關愛共享等一系列理財方針，即特首和財政司司長一直掛在嘴邊的"理財新哲學"。
In the circumstances the focus of our attention is on how the Budget can make good use of the surplus and on its financial management principles of investing for the future and of caring and sharing . These are part of the new fiscal philosophy that the Chief Executive and the Financial Secretary have been talking about
面對瞬息萬變的世界局勢，香港作為高度開放的經濟體，尤其容易受到外圍經濟的影響。
In the face of the ever - changing world situation Hong Kong as a highly open economy is particularly susceptible to changes in the external economic environment
那麼，今年的預算案又是否能夠幫助香港進一步加強"背靠祖國，面向國際"的定位和優勢呢？
That being the case can this years Budget further enhance Hong Kongs position and advantages as a city backed by the Motherland and facing the world?
要回答這個問題，我想我們應嘗試跳出香港的框框，從不同的角度審視預算案應有的國家觀念和國際視野。
To answer this question I think we should try to look beyond Hong Kong and examine the Budget from different angles to see if it has the national concept and international outlook expected of it . It has been 21 years since Hong Kongs return to China
香港回歸後已度過21年，特區如何更好地融入國家發展大潮，包括粵港澳大灣區建設和"一帶一路"，已成為擺在特區政府和全港市民面前的重大課題。
The question of how the SAR can better integrate into the countrys wave of development which includes the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area and the Belt and Road Initiative has become a major issue facing the SAR Government and all Hong Kong people
其中，陳茂波司長在預算案中提到："大灣區發展對香港而言，重點有3個，包括'雙市場'、'創新科技產業'和'土地資源'。
In this connection Financial Secretary Paul CHAN specifically states in the Budget that the Bay Area development is of strategic significance to Hong Kong in three key aspects namely two markets innovation and technology IT industries and land resources
" 在未來1年，香港將會開通3個重大的跨境基建，即港珠澳大橋、廣深港高鐵香港段，以及蓮塘/香園圍新陸路口岸，這將有助於大灣區形成"1小時生活圈"，相信會吸引越來越人選擇到大灣區創業、經商、就業、旅行、養老甚至定居。
In the coming year three major cross - boundary infrastructure facilities namely the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link and the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point which is a new land boundary crossing will be commissioned in Hong Kong . This will be conducive to developing the Bay Area into a one - hour living circle which I believe will entice more and more people to choose to start their own businesses do business work travel spend their twilight years or even settle in the Bay Area
當然，要真正奠定大灣區"1小時生活圈"的格局，可說是萬事俱備，只欠東風。
Of course it can be said that everything is ready for the Bay Area to be truly established as a one - hour living circle except one crucial thing
這個"東風"主要是指政策，包括創新思維和相關配套設施。
Basically this crucial thing is the introduction of policies including those on innovation and related ancillary facilities
過去商界一直面對俗稱"錢不過界"的問題，即很多政府資助只限於在本港才能使用，一旦跨出香港就無法享用。
In the past the business sector had all along been faced with the problem of no funding beyond the boundary; that is many government subsidies were only allowed to be used locally and could not be enjoyed outside Hong Kong
不過，社會福利署在今年4月1日起，將本來適用於長者返回廣東省養老的"廣東計劃"再擴展至福建，這說明特區政府在福利領域逐步打開"錢不過界"的缺口，實現跨境運作。
Yet since 1 April this year the Social Welfare Department has extended the coverage of the Guangdong Scheme originally applicable to elderly people spending their twilight years in Guangdong Province to Fujian . This illustrates that the SAR Government is gradually breaking through the barrier of no funding beyond the boundary to realize cross - boundary operation in the area of welfare benefits
不僅如此，本港的醫療券計劃早在3年前便率先在香港大學深圳醫院試用，便利在深圳居住的香港長者直接在當地就醫，這是醫療券首次"跨出"香港。
In addition the pilot scheme for the use of Hong Kongs elderly health care vouchers at the University of Hong Kong - Shenzhen Hospital was launched three years ago to make it more convenient for our elderly people residing in Shenzhen to directly seek medical treatment there marking the first time such health care vouchers had been allowed to be used outside Hong Kong
隨着內地逐漸在生活層面向港人提供國民待遇，特區政府作為大灣區融合的主要促成者和推動者，其實可以在財政方面想想如何拆牆鬆綁，令更多香港的福利措施可以跨境實施。
With the Mainlands gradual provision of national treatment to Hong Kong people in their daily lives the SAR Government as the main facilitator and promoter of the Bay Area integration plan can actually ponder how to remove barriers and lift restrictions on the financial front to enable the cross - boundary implementation of more Hong Kong welfare measures
舉例說，我大膽建議政府考慮推出跨境廉租屋、為前往大灣區工作的香港人提供跨境交通特惠津貼，又或直接在大灣區內開辦醫院、學校、養老中心等設施，最終推動大灣區成為香港人優質的"1小時生活圈"，宜居宜業。
For instance I would boldly suggest that the Government should consider introducing a cross - boundary low - cost housing scheme providing an ex - gratia cross - boundary travel allowance for Hong Kong people commuting to the Bay Area for work or directly setting up such facilities as hospitals schools and elderly care centres in the Bay Area with a view to ultimately promoting the development of the Bay Area into a quality one - hour living circle for Hong Kong people to live and work in
把高端科技產品定義為"香港製造"或"香港品牌"，無疑有助於本港的出口貿易，並可讓我們在日後可能出現的貿易戰中佔據最佳位置。
To define high - tech products as those made in Hong Kong or of Hong Kong brands will surely be beneficial to our export trade and enable us to get the best position in any trade war that may erupt in the future
總而言之，今年的預算案為實踐"理財新哲學"開了個好頭，亦預示了未來香港財政政策的轉變。
All in all this years Budget has made a good start in putting the new fiscal philosophy into practice and it heralds a change in the future fiscal policy of Hong Kong
然而，沒有一份預算案會是最好，只有更好，今年的預算案還有進步的空間。
That said there is no such thing as the best budget as there can only be better ones . There is still room for improvement in this years Budget
無論是在與內地省市的融合協作，還是在國際經濟聯繫方面，政府仍然需要進一步提出更具體、更具針對性的措施，以應對未來的挑戰。
The Government still needs to take a further step by proposing more specific and focused measures regarding its collaboration with Mainland provinces and cities as well as its international economic ties so as to cope with future challenges
我提醒委員，為了預留足夠時間給官員回應及進行各項表決，視乎實際情況，我會不遲於今天5時30分請官員發言。
Let me remind Members that to allow sufficient time for the public officers to respond and for the questions to be voted on I will call upon the public officers to speak no later than 5col30 pm today depending on the actual situation
主席，兩星期以來，我們已就修正案展開辯論，同事各抒己見。
Chairman over the two weeks or so we have been debating the Budget and Members have expressed their respective views
