對於邵家臻議員提出的修正案建議，即要求每個中心分別成立針對性暴力和受虐兒童的兩支專業隊伍的建議，我有所保留。
As for Mr SHIU Ka - chuns amendment he proposed that two professional teams should be formed in each crisis support centre with one team dedicated to handling sexual violence cases and the other for child abuse cases . I have some reservations about it
他的出發點是好的，但過於理想化。
While his proposal is well - intentioned it is too idealistic
近年市民對公營醫療的需求越來越大，急症室收費雖然大幅提高，但輪候情況未見改善。
With an increasing demand for public health care services from the community the waiting situation has not been improved despite a substantial increase in the fees and charges for the use of accident and emergency services
在工作環境的壓力下，前線全職醫生、護士流失率高，人手緊絀的情況已經是不爭的事實。
Due to the pressure of the working environment there is a high turnover of full - time doctors and nurses in the front line . The shortage of manpower is simply an obvious fact
即使政府已開始與大學教育資助委員會商討增加對專業醫護人員的資助學額，以爭取更多人入職公營醫療系統，但單靠這些措施仍不能解決目前面對的人手不足問題。
The Government has begun discussing with the University Grants Committee about increasing the number of subsidized places for health care professionals in a bid to attract more people to join the public health care system . However these measures alone cannot resolve the present problem of manpower shortage
以目前的人力資源情況，每個中心要設立一支專業隊伍，我認為已經不容易，如果要設立兩支專業隊伍提供一站式服務，只會令公營醫療系統承受更大的壓力，間接影響其他公營醫療服務。
Given the present manpower I think setting up a professional team in each centre is already a difficult task . If we are to set up two professional teams to provide one - stop services it will only add to the pressure of the public health care system and indirectly affect other public health care services
所以，如果政府決定落實籌建危機支援中心，處理較複雜的性暴力和虐兒個案，就要妥善分配人力資源，為中心制訂合理的預算，在處理相關個案時，流程要盡量精簡，令有關案件得到適切妥善的處理，令受害人所受的傷害降至最低，並可將施暴者繩之以法。
Therefore if it is the decision of the Government to establish crisis support centres for handling more complex cases of sexual violence and child abuse it should make proper allocation of manpower resources and draw up a reasonable budget for the centres . The process for handling relevant cases should be streamlined as much as possible so that the cases can be handled properly with the victims suffering from minimal impact and the perpetrators being brought to justice
主席，首先非常感謝廖長江議員提出的議案，這議題對香港甚至全世界均十分重要。
President I thank Mr Martin LIAO for moving this motion . This is a very important issue to Hong Kong or even to the world
十多年來，我一直推動綠色低碳生活，近數年亦不斷推動智慧城市發展。
Over the past decade or so I have been promoting green and low - carbon living . In recent years I also advocated the development of a smart city
所以，我的修正案提出了9項建議及觀點，由於時間所限，我只能簡述各點，歡迎局長花多點時間與我詳細商討。
Hence I put forth nine proposals or viewpoints in my amendment . Due to the limited time I will only go through each of them briefly and I welcome the Secretary to spend more time on discussing with me in detail
第一項非常重要，便是設立明確的目標及時間表。
The first point is very important and that is to set a specific target and timetable
如果香港真的要轉型為綠色低碳智慧型城市，必須有戰略和目標，包括行動計劃和時間表。
To develop Hong Kong into a green and low - carbon smart city we must have a strategy and a target including an action plan and a timetable
第二，在推動善用綠色科技及發展綠色產業方面，其實香港已經談了多年，但目前進度不算理想。
Second we have discussed for years how to promote the optimal use of green technologies and the development of green industries but the progress is not satisfactory
我認識很多香港科研團隊、初創企業和大學，很多團隊均對研發綠色科技甚感興趣，但大家都認為資源和長遠願景也不足。
I know many research and development RD teams in Hong Kong as well as start - ups and universities here . Many of them are very interested in developing green technologies but they say that there is not enough resources and no long - term vision
我認為政府建築物應該屬於綠色低碳建築，但現時並不太符合標準，我希望政府未來在這方面多做一點。
I hold that government buildings should meet green and low - carbon standards but at present the buildings do not quite meet these standards . I hope the Government will work harder on this
綠化建築物可減低使用空調、減低能源消耗、減低城市熱島效應、延長建築物及外牆的壽命、降低噪音和淨化空氣、提供野生動物的棲息地、增加城市生物多樣性，令城市更美麗，市民生活更舒適。
Green buildings can reduce the use of air - conditioning and lower energy consumption thereby reducing the heat island effect; they can prolong the life of buildings and their external walls reduce noise nuisances and purify air . Green buildings can also provide dwellings for wild animals and increase biodiversity in the city and make our city more beautiful and provide a better living place for the people
但是，香港有多少建築物已完成天台或垂直綠化呢？
But how many buildings in Hong Kong have completed rooftop or vertical greening?
當然有，但為數不多。
Certainly there are but not many
政府未來可以在這方面多花工夫，從而提高樓宇的綠化面積。
The Government should work harder to increase the greening ratio of buildings
現時在垂直綠化方面，例如啟德郵輪碼頭、北大嶼山醫院、科學園和浸會大學均有垂直綠化的例子，但與其他城市相比，我認為我們欠缺目標，所以進展不大，大家各有各做，卻不是政府發展的方向。
For vertical greening examples can be found in the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal the North Lantau Hospital the Science Park and the Hong Kong Baptist University . As compared with other cities I think we lack a goal . As a result there is little progress
第五項建議是推廣節約用水、建設"海綿城市"、增加城市中的水體、開發海水化淡和再造水的水資源。
The fifth proposal is to promote water conservation develop a sponge city increase urban water bodies and explore new water resources such as desalinated and reclaimed water
我相信大家也知道，水資源越來越珍貴，我國未來可能是全世界最缺乏水資源的地方。
I think we all know that water resources is getting increasingly precious . Our country may become the place most lacking in water resources in the future
香港現時要面對水浸的問題，本港在水資源方面主要靠東江水，我數年前已在立法會提出，香港應該大力建設"海綿城市"。
Hong Kong is beset by flooding . Our water resources mainly come from Dongjiang river . I proposed in this Council a few years ago that we should proactively develop Hong Kong into a sponge city
第六點是"走塑"時間表，無論微膠粒及塑膠都對環境造成千萬年的影響。
The sixth point is to have a plastic - free timetable . The impacts of both microplastics and plastics on the environment can last for hundreds of thousands of years
我們至今未看到政府有很大決心禁止使用微膠粒，或訂立時間表長期禁止使用即棄餐具及相關產品。
To date the Government is not very determined to ban the use of microplastics or set a timetable to stop the use of disposable plastic tableware and related products in the long run
雖然政府已開始與業界訂立一些方向及推出一些先導計劃，這是好事，但整體來說，我們看不到政府未來如何解決香港整體的塑膠污染問題。
Although it is good to see that the Government has started to work with industries to formulate directions and launch pilot schemes on this issue we cannot see any plan from the Government on comprehensively addressing the problem of plastic pollution in Hong Kong
微膠粒是一個非常嚴重的問題，香港現時售賣的很多產品都有微膠粒。
Microplastics is a serious problem . Many products being sold in Hong Kong contain microplastics
我們已在立法會多次提出，希望政府立法禁止使用微膠粒的產品，但政府未作出回應，我希望這方面可以看到一個確切的時間表。
We have repeatedly raised this concern in the Legislative Council hoping that the Government can introduce legislation to ban the use of products containing microplastics . The Government has yet to respond to us . I hope that there can be a concrete timetable on tackling this issue
第七點，是推動綠色交通運輸工具及相關技術。
The seventh point is promoting green traffic modes and related technologies
我們提出了很多建議，例如在啟德新發展區及鄰近地區，以及粉嶺北、古洞北、坪輋新發展區興建輕軌列車運輸連接系統。
We have put forth many proposals such as constructing light rail transit systems to connect the Kai Tak New Development Area and its nearby places and the new development areas of Fanling North Kwu Tung North and Ping Che
我們仍然覺得電動車較燃油車環保，但政府似乎沒有聽取我們的意見。
We still think that electric vehicles are more environmentally - friendly than fuel - engined vehicles but the Government does not seem to concur with us
推動電動車除了要有經濟誘因，亦要有較完整的快速充電網絡。
Apart from economic incentives we need to provide a comprehensive network of quick chargers to promote the use of electric vehicles
局長昨天建議電動車車主先在屋苑充電後才駕駛，但事實上，很多屋苑根本無法設立快速充電網絡，亦要得到法團同意，甚至電力系統無法負荷。
The Secretary suggested yesterday that electric vehicle owners should charge their vehicles before driving using the facilities at their residential estates . But it is difficult for some residential estates to install a quick charging network because the installation requires the prior approval of the owners corporation and adequate electricity support
在這方面，政府要面對現實。
The Government has to be realistic
我們提出"單車城市"已多年，之前有一項辯論亦與此有關，我不會在此詳談，但希望政府聆聽我們的意見。
We have put forth the proposal of a bicycle city for years . There was a motion debate on this subject earlier so I will not go into the details here but I hope the Government will listen to our view
我還想提出的是發展綠色金融，香港作為國際金融中心，綠色金融有很大的發展空間。
I wish to raise one more point and that is developing green finance . Hong Kong is an international financial centre . There is great potential for us to develop green finance
估計全球未來每年會有54萬億港元投資在綠色金融，包括低碳及可抵禦氣候變化的基礎設施。
It is estimated that green finance will attract an annual investment of 54,000 billion worldwide covering low - carbon infrastructural facilities that can withstand climate change . Guangdong Province is ahead of us
廣東省已經走得很快，在2018年6月已頒布"廣州市建設綠色金融改革創新試驗區"的實施細則。
In June 2018 its government announced the implementation details of the Guangzhou green finance pilot zone
香港作為大灣區一部分，應該盡快與廣州市討論這方面如何合作，推動綠色金融......
Being a part of the Greater Bay Area Hong Kong should expeditiously discuss with Guangzhou how to promote green finance together
主席，首先，感謝陳沛然議員提出這項議案。
President first of all I thank Dr Pierre CHAN for proposing this motion
不好意思，我仍未康復。
Cough Sorry I have not fully recovered yet
我代表民主建港協進聯盟支持原議案，並支持麥美娟議員及張超雄議員的修正案。
On behalf of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB I speak in support of the original motion and the amendments proposed by Ms Alice MAK and Dr Fernando CHEUNG
平等機會婦女聯席在2013年進行的調查顯示，香港每7名女性，便有1名曾經遭受性暴力，大概每7.4小時，便有一宗性暴力案件發生。
The survey conducted by Hong Kong Womens Coalition on Equal Opportunities in 2013 shows that one in every seven women in Hong Kong has been subject to sexual violence and there is one case of sexual violence approximately every 7.4 hours
而風雨蘭 的資料也顯示，2000年至2017年期間，他們接獲3,501宗求助個案，包括強姦、非禮和性騷擾等，數目在17年間上升了116%。
The information from RainLily also shows that between 2000 and 2017 3 501 requests for assistance were received covering cases of rape indecent assault and sexual harassment . The number has soared by 116 % over these 17 years
主席，你是男士，你可能不會詢問女士曾否被人非禮或強姦，但女士們有時候聊天時......局長，我不時都會詢問其他女士小時候或成長階段有否遭遇過性侵犯或性騷擾。
President as a gentleman you might possibly not ask a lady whether she has ever been indecently assaulted or raped but sometimes during a chat among ladies Secretary from time to time I ask other ladies if they have been subject to sexual abuse or sexual harassment in their childhood or growing - up years
我想告訴大家，10位女士之中，差不多有9位告訴我曾有這類經歷，例如小時候被長輩或教師非禮，到長大了才驚覺原來自己曾被人非禮；乘坐公共交通工具如巴士、地鐵，尤其是中學生穿着校服裙時，經常被人非禮。
I would like to tell Members that almost 9 out of 10 of these ladies tell me that they had have this kind of experience . For example some have been indecently assaulted by senior members of their families or teachers in childhood but only came to recognize the incidents as indecent assaults as an adult . Some of them especially those secondary school students in school dress are frequently subject to indecent assaults while taking public transport such as buses and the MTR
即使不幸被性侵犯的受害人報案，很多案件最後會被終止調查或不再繼續下去。
Even if the unfortunate victims of sexual abuse have reported their cases the investigations regarding most of these cases will ultimately be terminated or discontinued
就我們所見，這種情況其實非常多。
So far as we can see such cases are abundant in fact
到她真的懂得求助時，她可能會到醫院，而如果她到醫院，她便要經歷一連串的程序。
When she really knows how to seek help she may go to the hospital . But then if she goes to the hospital she will have to go through a series of procedures
沒有人會即時告訴她接不來會經歷多少事。
She will not be told immediately about what she will subsequently go through
風雨蘭的數據亦告訴我們，很多個案屬於延遲報案，而延遲報案的情況非常嚴重，例如他們過去處理了2,318宗的強姦個案，報案時間距離案發時間平均是949天，即兩年零七個月，很多時候法醫已無法取證。
As informed by the statistics of RainLily many cases are cases of delayed reports and such situation is desperate . For example among the 2 318 cases of rape they handled in the past the average lapse of time between the occurrence of a case and the report of it is 949 days ie . two years and seven months and on many occasions it is impossible for the forensic pathologist to collect any evidence then
我相信大家都知道那是一定有幫助的。
I believe all of us are certain that they will
但我聽局長剛才的說法，好像是說政府已做了所有事，我們不需要再提出意見，然而，事實並非如此。
However the remarks made by the Secretary just now seem to suggest that the Government has already done everything possible and there is no need for us to offer further suggestions . As a matter of fact it is not true
今次議案提出的只是很卑微的要求，亦很合理，我看不到政府有甚麼理由不願意提供3間一站式服務的處所，提供專業服務，以幫助受害人度過艱難時刻，協助他們追求司法公義，減少對受害人的二次傷害，同時，縮短所有程序來協助他們。
What this motion puts forward are some very humble and reasonable requests . I can see no reason why the Government can refuse to set up three one - stop service premises to provide professional services aiming at helping victims to ride out the hard times assisting them in pursuing justice minimizing secondary victimization and shortening all the procedures to help them
所以，主席，我認為政府責無旁貸，應該採取行動。
This being the case President I think the Government is duty - bound to take actions
主席，我動議若稍後就"全力轉型為綠色低碳智慧型社會及經濟 積極紓緩及應對全球氣候變化"所提出的議案或修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
President I move that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the motion on Fully transforming into a green and low - carbon smart society and economy and proactively alleviating and coping with global climate change or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
"全力轉型為綠色低碳智慧型社會及經濟積極紓緩及應對全球氣候變化"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Fully transforming into a green and low - carbon smart society and economy and proactively alleviating and coping with global climate change
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經盧偉國議員、郭偉强議員及莫乃光議員修正的廖長江議員議案。
President I move that Mr Martin LIAOs motion as amended by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Mr KWOK Wai - keung and Mr Charles Peter MOK be further amended by my revised amendment
我想在此簡單說明為何我要進一步提出修正案。
I would like to explain briefly why I proposed a further amendment
我認為，如果我們沒有按照實際情況，制訂一個真正能夠讓我們避開氣候災難的目標，那麼之後所有的政策討論也會變得虛幻，無助於真正解決問題。
In my opinion unless we set a target in the light of the actual situation that would actually save us from climate disasters all future policy discussions would be illusory and would not be conducive to really resolving the problem
我進一步修正議案的另一個原因，就是要提出研究開徵累進"碳稅"。
Another reason why I proposed an amendment to the motion is to suggest conducting a study on levying a progressive carbon tax
我想指出，我現時提出研究開徵累進"碳稅"，如果大家不同意開徵累進"碳稅"也不要緊，因為政府大可以在研究後提出理據說無法這樣做，因此大家無須對這部分過於介懷。
I want to say that I am now proposing to conduct a study on levying a progressive carbon tax and it does not matter if Members do not agree to the levying since the Government can very well say that there are no justifications for doing so after the study . Therefore Members need not feel too concerned about this part of the amendment
我希望大家着重於訂立合適目標這部分，支持我進一步的修正案。
I urge Members to focus on the setting of appropriate targets and support my further amendment
主席，今天我這項議案涉及一個非常重大，涵蓋全球政治、經濟、社會民生、極端天氣、氣候難民、能源、交通、疾病控制、糧食、水資源、地球物種等範疇的議題。
President the motion I move today is about a major issue covering many different aspects such as global politics economy peoples livelihood extreme weather climate refugees energy transport disease control food water resources earth species etc
在國際間，氣候變化已經提升至一個當前迫切威脅人類存亡的共同危機，就此召開的國際會議和撰寫的研究報告多不勝數。
Internationally the problem of climate change has already reached the level of a common crisis imminently threatening the life and death of mankind . Numerous international meetings are convened to discuss the issue and a large number of research reports have been prepared on the subject
目前正在波蘭召開的聯合國氣候變化會議，更呼籲各地要採取果斷行動應對氣候變化。
At the United Nations Climate Change Conference being held in Poland all participating parties are urged to take decisive actions to address the problem of climate change
在本港亦有不少相關的研討和行動。
Many related studies and activities are also underway in Hong Kong
本會的辯論時間有限，自然難以深入討論。
Due to the limited debate time in this Council it is of course impossible for us to have an in - depth discussion about this issue
但是，我仍然希望藉着這項議案辯論，聚焦數個重點概略，以協助帶動本港更認真地面對這個嚴峻局面，更積極與全球聯手應對氣候變化。
However I wish to focus our debate on this motion on several key issues with a view to motivating various parties in Hong Kong to face this severe problem more seriously and participate more actively in the global efforts to tackle the problem of climate change
主席，香港今年經歷了破紀錄、連續348小時的酷熱天氣警告，以及超強颱風山竹的破壞。
President Hong Kong has experienced the issuance of a Very Hot Weather Warning for a record - breaking number of 348 consecutive hours as well as the onslaught of super typhoon Mangkhut this year
全球不同地方亦正面對已成為新常態的極端天氣，例如歐洲、非洲、美國、日本、韓國相繼出現破紀錄的高溫，澳洲經歷數十年來最嚴重的乾旱。
Many different places around the world are also facing the challenges of the new normal of extreme weather . For example high temperatures at record - breaking levels have been recorded respectively in Europe Africa the United States Japan and South Korea while Australia was hit by a most serious drought in decades
歐洲議會的文件顯示，過去10年平均每年有2,000多萬名氣候難民要遷離家園，甚至避走他國。
According to the papers of the European Parliament an average of over 20 million climate refugees were forced to move away from their home or even flee to another country in each of the last 10 years
為了力挽狂瀾，國際間已先後達成多邊協議，不同地方承諾各按本身情況致力減排。
To resolve these crises multilateral agreements have been concluded internationally for various places to commit to achieving certain emission reduction targets having regard to their own circumstances
本港的減碳進程有否落後於這些目標呢？相比2005年，目前在碳強度方面已經減了逾三成，接近目標的一半。但是，絕對排放量卻不減反升，在2016年共排出4,190萬公噸二氧化碳當量，比起2005年的水平還要多出70公噸，亦比最嚴格的2030年減排目標多了六成。
However as reflected in the monitoring report on the implementation of the Paris Agreement after a period of stagnation for three years the amount of global greenhouse gas emissions increased last year to a record - breaking level of 49.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and the progress made by many countries including the Group of Twenty in carbon reduction fell far short of their committed target
廖議員，請動議你的議案。
Mr LIAO please move your motion
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：廖長江議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr Martin LIAO be passed
有9位議員要動議修正案。
Nine Members will move amendments to this motion
我會依次請要動議修正案的盧偉國議員、許智峯議員、郭偉强議員、莫乃光議員、范國威議員、朱凱廸議員、葛珮帆議員、郭家麒議員及梁繼昌議員發言，但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who will move the amendments to speak in the following order Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Mr HUI Chi - fung Mr KWOK Wai - keung Mr Charles Peter MOK Mr Gary FAN Mr CHU Hoi - dick Dr Elizabeth QUAT Dr KWOK Ka - ki and Mr Kenneth LEUNG but they may not move amendments at this stage
本議案原意是跨越政治立場的考量，鼓勵共同思考和面對威脅人類的氣候變化問題。
This motion is intended to transcend political considerations and encourage people to jointly examine and face the problem of climate change that threatens human beings
代理主席，正如我較早前發言提到，本議案涉及的議題層面極廣，由於時間所限，難以全面涵蓋各個層面。
Deputy President as I said earlier this motion involves an extensive coverage but due to time constraint we cannot cover all areas comprehensively
有賴其他同事提出修正案，加入他們關注的範疇，大大豐富了本議案的討論。
Thanks to the amendments proposed by other Members which set out their areas of concern the discussion on this motion has been greatly enriched
例如盧偉國議員提到基建智慧化、區域智慧城市群；郭偉强議員建議設立基金發展綠色產業；莫乃光議員建議利用數據及研發嶄新綠色科技。
For example Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok proposes promoting intellectualization of infrastructure and a regional smart city cluster; Mr KWOK Wai - keung proposes establishing a fund to develop green industries; Mr Charles Peter MOK proposes using data and promoting the research and development of new green technologies
許智峯議員、葛珮帆議員和郭家麒議員提及推廣單車使用、"走塑"時間表；朱凱廸議員建議加強支援弱勢社群應對氣候變化等，我難以一一盡錄，但這些都是值得積極考慮的意見。
Mr HUI Chi - fung Dr Elizabeth QUAT and Dr KWOK Ka - ki propose promoting the use of bicycles and formulating a plastic - free timetable; and Mr CHU Hoi - dick proposes stepping up support to the disadvantaged in coping with climate change . I find it difficult to list all their proposals but all of these proposals are worthy of active consideration
不過，當中有些建議值得商榷，例如朱議員提出的"碳稅"，對香港而言是新事物。
However some of the proposals are debatable . For example the carbon tax proposed by Mr CHU is a new thing to Hong Kong
碳稅與我較早時提到的碳排放交易均屬於碳定價制度，同樣是按污者自付的原則，利用經濟力量推動減碳。
Both carbon tax and emissions trading I mentioned earlier are covered under a carbon pricing system which also adopts the polluter pays principle to promote decarbonization through economic means
世界銀行估計，這兩種制度今年有助減少全球近兩成溫室氣體。
As estimated by the World Bank the two systems can help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by some 20 % this year
兩種制度都有國家選用，甚至有國家兩種制度並行，但具體施行內容卻各有不同。
The two systems are adopted by different countries and some countries have even adopted both systems concurrently but the implementation details of the systems are different
至於應該如何選擇，以及實施時間與細節為何，均是各方仍在探索、學者仍在爭議的課題，沒有絕對的答案。
As regards the decision on which system to be adopted as well as the implementation timetable and details they are still subject to the exploration of various parties and the arguments of academics; no definitive answer can be given
以碳稅來說，最常為人詬病的是政府難以釐定最適切的稅率，因為稅率過高會損害整體經濟，過低又會影響減排成效。
In the case of carbon tax the most common argument is that the governments find it difficult to determine the most suitable tax rates . While an excessively high tax rate will jeopardize the overall economy an excessively low tax rate will adversely affect emission reduction
澳洲曾推行碳稅兩年，向500間碳排放量最高的企業徵稅，同時增加對中下階層的經濟支援，但最終仍導致廣大中小企和家庭負擔過重。
Australia implemented a carbon tax for two years . It collected carbon tax from 500 enterprises with the highest carbon emissions and enhanced financial assistance to the middle and lower classes but ultimately small and medium enterprises and households were overburdened
據報當時碳稅佔中小企電費高達三成，甚至因企業倒閉導致失業問題，以致澳洲議會要撤銷碳稅。
It was reported that carbon tax accounted for as high as 30 % of the electricity charges of small and medium enterprises resulting in closure of businesses and in turn unemployment problems . The Parliament of Australia thus revoked the carbon tax
反觀香港九成九企業也是中小企，我們是否更要審慎行事？
In the case of Hong Kong as 99 % of enterprises are small and medium enterprises should we not act in a more prudent manner?
社會的接受程度如何？
What about the level of acceptance in society?
大家不能忘記，我們有責任保持香港的簡單低稅制度。
We should not forget that we are duty - bound to maintain the simple and low tax regime of Hong Kong
代理主席，減碳工具眾多，最重要的是各地按個別情況作出選擇。
Deputy President there are many tools of decarbonization and it is of vital importance that various places make a choice depending on their own circumstances
我無意就任何一種碳定價制度展開學術爭辯，但基於上述考慮，我實在難以支持該項具導向性的修正案，要求當局"研究開徵累進'碳稅'"。
I have no intention to initiate an academic debate on any carbon pricing system but based on the aforementioned considerations I can hardly support this action - oriented amendment which advises the authorities on conducting a study on levying a progressive carbon tax
范國威議員提出停止填海興建人工島，把矛頭指向"明日大嶼願景"。
Mr Gary FAN proposes to stop the construction of artificial islands through reclamation aiming his spear at Lantau Tomorrow Vision
代理主席，在氣候變化下，人工島的風險管理當然重要，政府必須做足科學專業評估，以釋除公眾疑慮。
Deputy President under the circumstances of climate change risk management surrounding artificial islands is certainly important and the Government must conduct adequate scientific and professional assessment to allay public concern
不過，范議員的修正案盲目封殺、故步自封，絕不合理，我無法苟同，所以我會對這項修正案投反對票。
However as Mr FANs amendment blindly calls for a boycott refuses to make progress and is absolutely unjustified I can by no means agree with it and I will therefore vote against it
早晨，代理主席，我動議通過印載於議程內的議案。
Good morning Deputy President I move that the motion as printed on the Agenda be passed
本港性暴力及虐待兒童的數字不斷上升，且多年來，政府的支援有不足之處，所以，我今天提出"要求政府在公營醫院內增設性暴力受害人及受虐兒童危機支援中心"議案，目的是喚起社會大眾對此議題的關注，加強對受害人的支援，我以下的發言將會分為5部分。
In view of the rising trend in the number of cases of sexual violence and child abuse in Hong Kong in recent years and apart from the insufficient support given by the Government over the years I propose todays motion on Requesting the Government to set up crisis support centres for sexual violence victims and abused children in public hospitals . My purpose is to arouse the concern of the public in society and to strengthen the support to these victims . The following speech is divided into five parts
