與此同時，對於地契內的"工業用途"，香港的現存案例已有解釋。
Meanwhile for the term industrial purposes used in Government leases there is Hong Kong case law on what it means
地政總署作為地契的契約一方，不可亦不會單方面修訂早前已訂立的地契，或對地契訂下的用途作出有別於地契原意和普通法適用案例的演繹。
LandsD as a party to the lease cannot and will not unilaterally modify the lease that has been entered into or interpret the user in the lease in a way different from the context under which the lease is entered into and the common law cases
有關地段業主如希望因應規劃改變而修改地契下的土地用途或申請豁免，可以向地政總署提出申請。
Should the owners wish to amend the land use of the lease or apply for a waiver in response to the changes in planning they may submit an application to LandsD
至於質詢的各個部分，我現答覆如下： 一及三 就過去5年針對工廈違契用途而採取的執行契約條款行動個案數目的統計，地政總署是自2012年才開始備存有關數字，2012年是157宗、2013年是208宗、2014年是209宗、2015年是172宗。
My reply to the various parts of the question is as follows 1 and 3 Regarding the statistics on lease enforcement actions against lease breaches in industrial buildings over the past five years LandsD has only kept the figures since 2012 . There were 157 cases in 2012 208 cases in 2013 209 cases in 2014 and 172 cases in 2015
地政總署於執行契約條款行動時並不會針對任何行業，因此並沒有就不同行業作出分類統計。
There is no breakdown of the statistics by industry since LandsD does not target any industry when it takes lease enforcement actions
此外，吳議員所指的"創新科技業"涵蓋面相當廣闊，亦沒有一個確切的定義，地政總署難以此進行統計。
In addition the term innovation and technology industry as specified by Mr NG covers a wide range of operations and does not have a concrete definition . For these reasons it would be difficult for LandsD to compile any statistical data readily
按地政總署經驗，上述工業大廈違契個案一般涉及辦公室、商店、學習中心、娛樂及康樂場所、食肆及宗教聚會場所等。
From the experience of LandsD irregularities found in industrial buildings in the cases mentioned above generally involve offices shops learning centres places of entertainmentrecreation restaurants religious gathering places and the like
當中3個工廈單位被改作零售商店，另外1個工廈單位被改作兒童興趣班用途，違反相關地契條款。
126 . Among them three units were used as retail shops while one was used for childrens interest class purpose all breaching the relevant lease conditions
上述4宗個案的前業權人都已根據上述條例的第8條向行政長官提出呈請，就轉歸的物業給予寬免。
The former owners in these four cases all petitioned the Chief Executive for relief against the vesting of property under section 8 of the above mentioned ordinance
當中有3宗個案因前業權人已糾正違契事項及繳付一切相關的費用、開支、罰款及/或滿足其他附加的條款，而獲給予寬免，取回被轉歸政府的物業。地政總署現正處理餘下的1宗個案。
Of these four petition cases three were granted relief and the former owners got back the properties vested in the Government as they had purged the breaches and paid all relevant fees expenses fines andor complied with additional terms in other aspects while the remaining case is being handled by LandsD
地政總署於2015年2月就短期豁免書數目曾作過一次性的統計，當時適用於工廈單位而仍然有效的短期豁免書約有1,000宗。
LandsD conducted a one - off survey on the number of temporary waivers in February 2015 . It was found that there were approximately 1 000 valid temporary waivers applicable to industrial building units
局長一向喜歡說"按既定程序的政策"或"政策行之有效"等，言下之意，很多事情也無須作任何改變。
The Secretary is fond of saying following the policy of established procedures or a certain policy has been implemented effectively . In other words he does not want to make any changes
我不知道局長的態度是否較為固守及僵化，所以並無正面答覆我的主體質詢第三部分的提問，即"地政總署為何多年來未有跟隨城規會修訂'工業用途'一詞的定義；當局會否統一城規會和地政總署就該詞採用的定義"。
Maybe the Secretary is rather conservative and rigid in his attitude such that he did not answer directly to part 3 of my main question . I asked him to inform this Council of the reasons why LandsD has not followed TPBs practice in amending the definition of the term industrial use over the years; whether the authorities will align the definitions adopted by TPB and LandsD for the term
其實， 依我看法，政府與其小修小補，推出"補鑊式"的豁免收費或特惠計劃，倒不如全面或全盤檢視"工業用途"一詞的定義，這才是解決問題的根本之道。
Actually instead of providing minor remedies like introducing the fee exemptionconcessionary scheme to rectify the situation the Government should comprehensively review the definition of the term industrial use . This is the fundamental solution to the problem
我的補充質詢是，政府會否計劃成立一個跨部門及高層次的工作小組，全面統籌重新界定"工業用途"一詞定義的相關事宜，令當局日後不論在審批申請用途或執管工廈單位時，也有清晰法例可以依循；若會，詳情為何；若否，原因為何？
My supplementary question is Will the Government establish a high - level interdepartmental working group to comprehensively coordinate the work of redefining the term industrial use and its related matters so that in future the authorities will have clear legislation to follow when they process applications for land use modifications or take enforcement actions against industrial buildings? . If it will what are the details? . If it will not what are the reasons?
主席，多謝吳永嘉議員的補充質詢。
President I thank Mr Jimmy NG for his supplementary question
主體答覆亦提到為何我們認為不可以"一刀切"把地契中的詞彙，自動與《城市規劃條例》掛鈎，因為把《城市規劃條例》就某些詞彙作出的改變自動適用於地契是不可行的。
I also mentioned in the main reply the reason why we cannot automatically align the terms used in land leases with those in the Town Planning Ordinance under a broad - brush approach . It is because it is not feasible to automatically align the amendments made to the terms used in the Town Planning Ordinance with the terms used in land leases
主體答覆中有提到的內容，我便不再重複了。
I will not repeat the details as I have already stated them in the main reply
就着吳議員詢問我們會否成立一個跨部門及高層次的工作小組，就"工業用途"一詞的定義進行跟進工作，簡單的答覆是不會的，因為事實上並無此需要。
Regarding Mr NGs enquiry on whether we will establish a high - level interdepartmental working group to follow up the work on the definition of the term industrial use I am afraid my simple answer is in the negative because there is genuinely not such a need
其實，局長是應該做好這件事情，否則便會扼殺很多創意工業......
Actually the Secretary should get this properly dealt with; otherwise the development of many creative operations will be strangled
我提出的補充質詢是，局方需要再次制訂"工業用途"的定義，與時並進，而不是由土地承租人提出申請。
My supplementary question is Does the Secretary agree that the Bureau should redefine the meaning of industrial use so that the term can keep abreast of the times rather than relying on the lessees to apply for a waiver?
主體答覆亦解釋了我們為何不能夠因應《城市規劃條例》的改變，而自動改變地契中的詞彙釋義，我便不再重複了。
As I have already explained in the main reply why we cannot automatically align the definitions of the terms in land leases with the amendments made to the Town Planning Ordinance I will not repeat myself here
我想指出，這是可以做到的，我在主體答覆亦提及過往一些例子，例如數據中心或測試中心等。
I would like to point out that the above is feasible . I have also mentioned some such examples in the main reply such as the data centres testing centres etc
所以，我希望大家明白，在目前的制度下，並非我們不想自動進行調整，而是並不可行。
So I hope Members can understand that under the present system it is not that we do not want to but we are unable to make automatic adjustments
如果大家希望政府就着創新科技或創意文化產業提供特殊的政策支援，請找相關政策局就此進行研究。
If Members hope that special policy support can be provided to the innovation and technology or creative industries Members can discuss it in detail with the relevant bureaux; and if the relevant bureaux are of the view that it is appropriate to have corresponding policies we will certainly cope with the request
作為發展局局長，他怎樣處理這個問題呢？
As the Secretary for Development how will he deal with this problem?
議員剛才提及很多工業大廈被用作貨倉。
The Member mentioned just now that many industrial buildings are used as godowns
其實，把工業大廈用作貨倉一般是容許的，除非地契註明只可用作工業用途，否則用作貨倉是可以的。
As a matter of fact it is generally permitted to use industrial buildings as godowns unless it is stipulated in the land lease that the building can only be used for industrial purposes
至於梁議員指出，現時很多工業大廈被用作既不是工業又不是貨倉的用途，這是客觀事實。
Regarding Mr LEUNGs view that many industrial buildings are currently used for neither industrial nor godown purposes I think it is an objective fact
然而，當中有既定程序及步驟須予遵從，請恕我們真的沒有"一刀切"的方法可以作出全面的放寬，因為我們亦要考慮個別工業大廈的安全隱患及消防設備等各方面。
But there are established procedures and steps to follow and I am afraid there is no across - the - board means to grant a comprehensive waiver or exemption because we also have to consider other factors such as safety hazards and fire service equipment in individual industrial buildings
主席，政府多次提出再工業化，希望透過工業回流來發展高端工業，令香港的實業可以再次興旺。
President the Government has repeatedly mentioned the term re - industrialization in the hope that industries can return to Hong Kong to develop high - tier industries so that the industry in Hong Kong can be revitalized
我想問當局會否檢討活化工廈帶來的影響，從而制訂鼓勵創業、文創、工業回流的措施，甚至與《香港2030+：跨越2030的規劃遠景與策略》整個計劃作出配套呢？
Will the authorities review the impact of industrial building revitalization so as to formulate measures that encourage the establishment of business startups the development of cultural and creative industries and the return of industries to Hong Kong as well as to tie in with the implementation of the Hong Kong 2030Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030?
主席，活化工廈政策已在今年3月底結束，社會就這個政策的優點及缺點作出很多討論。
President the policy of industrial building revitalization has come to an end in March this year . There has been a lot of discussion in the community on the pros and cons of the policy
民政事務局透過我們的新賣地條款裏，例如黃竹坑的商業大廈都預留了逾萬平方呎的樓面面積，支持文化創意產業藝術工作者；在石硤尾的賽馬會創意藝術中心亦有這些設施。
The Home Affairs Bureau has through the introduction of new clauses in the Conditions of Sale for land lots provided support for cultural creative and arts workers . For instance we have reserved over 10 000 sq ft floor space for this purpose in an industrial building in Wong Chuk Hang; and similar facilities are provided at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre in Shek Kip Mei
如果何議員在這方面有任何具體建議，歡迎向我們提出，我們一定會積極考慮。
If Mr HO has any specific suggestions in this regard he is welcomed to share his ideas with us and we will actively consider them
有人說，我們的證券市場已慢慢中資化及大陸化，其實，這是沒問題的。
Some say that our securities market has gradually turned very Chinese and Mainlandized . Actually there is no problem with this at all
正如很多人都說，現時全球的資本市場都是一體化，可能北京或倫敦打個噴嚏、在蝴蝶效應的影響下，全球股票市場都會出現大震盪。
As many have said with the integration of capital markets all over the world these days it is possible that when Beijing or London sneezes stock markets in the whole world may sustain heavy shocks as a result of the butterfly effect
上星期，國內宣布"深港通"將於12月初落實。
Last week China announced that the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect would be kicked off in early December
有些人會問，其實兩大股票市場，包括深圳和上海的股票市場的集資量一點也不少，集資額亦絕不遜色於香港股份數字，特別是兩個股票市場的創業板的活躍程度，更遠超於香港。
Some people think that the capital - raising capacities of the two major stock markets namely the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock markets are by no means small and their capital - raising volumes do not compare any less favourably with that of Hong Kong shares . In particular the Growth Enterprise Markets of these two Mainland places are far more active than their counterpart in Hong Kong
但是，為何還有如此多中資機構排隊來香港集資上市，致令香港2015年年底的集資額再次大幅度拋離紐約和上海，成為全球第一？
But why is the number of Chinese companies lining up for capital - raising and listing in Hong Kong still so very large so large that Hong Kong could once again outdo New York and Shanghai and top the world in capital - raising volume at the end of 2015?
我相信最大的原因，是國際投資者相信香港的監管制度和水準。
There are reasons for this and I believe the major reason is that international investors trust the regulatory regime and standards of Hong Kong
剛才，我聽見張華峰議員把股票市場說成是一個大賭場，對此，我相當同意。
Just now I heard Mr Christopher CHEUNG describing the stock market as a big casino . I agree with him very much
香港的股民或普羅市民在經歷了多次大上大落的股災後，很多人都已受過慘烈的教訓。
Many stock investors or the common masses in Hong Kong have already learnt a bitter lesson after experiencing the drastic fluctuations in various stock crashes
相信大家仍記得當年有長者用"棺材本"買入"8號仔"的事件，從事件中，大家不難明白若股票市場監管不當，受影響的不是"大孖沙"，也不是張議員或他代表的業界，而是全香港市民，特別是長者，以及一些等待退休保障的人。
I believe Members can still remember all those elderly people who used their funeral savings to buy Stock Code Number 8 many years ago . All of us can easily see that if the stock market is not properly supervised the victims will not be any tycoons or Mr CHEUNG or the industry he represents . Instead the victims will be all Hong Kong people especially elderly people and people looking forward to retirement protection
但是，我相信，在經過多次仙股事件，以及很多上市不久的股份突然跌至停板，一些中資公司在首年上市時"係威係勢"，甚至有百多億元的盈利，但到了第二年或第三年便虧損嚴重後，不少股民的金錢都被蒸發了。
I believe we must note that the money of many investors has simply evaporated following various penny stock incidents the sudden plunge of many newly listed stocks to the limit - down level and the huge losses in the second or third year reported by some Chinese companies that made a big entrance or even recorded a profit of over 10 billion in the first year of listing
我們要明白，如果讓有嚴重利益關係的聯交所獨斷獨行，是很有問題的。
We should understand that SEHK has a serious conflict of interest so if we allow it to have all the say there will be big problems
況且，現時聯交所的總裁及很多要員都與中方有密切關係，這令我們認為設有一個更強力的監管機構和監管制度更顯重要。
Besides since the Chief Executive of SEHK and many of its key officials have very close ties with the Chinese side we consider that having a more powerful regulatory institution and regime is of particular importance
其實，決定任何市場是否受到國際投資者的信任，並非只着眼於監管，更要視乎大環境，包括香港對法制、對司法制度的尊重。
In fact whether a market is trusted by international investors is not determined solely by the regulatory regime . Much also depends on the macro environment including our respect for the laws institutions and judicial system of Hong Kong
最近在香港發生的事件，包括人大釋法，以及令很多本地和國際觀察家及投資者非常擔心的，包括香港進一步中資化、大陸化，以及將香港的管治水平一直降低，以遷就國內企業，這些才是我們最擔心的事。
Many incidents have recently happened in Hong Kong such as the interpretation of the Basic Law by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress . There have also been other happenings that cause the great concern of local and international observers including Hong Kongs further dependency on Chinese capitals and Mainlandization and the continuous decline of Hong Kongs governance standards to suit Mainland enterprises . All these are in fact our gravest concerns
所以，要加強監管上市和市場，包括改善證券上市的監管制度，是一定要走的路，別無他法，問題的癥結在於政府採取甚麼態度、甚麼方法。
For that reason stepping up the regulation of listed companies and the market including the enhancement of the governance structure for listing regulation is the path we must take . The crux of the problem lies in the attitude and methods adopted by the Government
我同意在整個諮詢過程中，以及將來作任何決定前，須尊重不同份持者的意見。
I agree that the views of all stakeholders must be respected throughout the entire consultation process and before any decision is made in future
但是，若擁有千絲萬縷利益的持份者想混水摸魚，希望透過鬆散的制度以取得最大利益，透過這樣的制度在上市時獲得最多金錢，蒙騙廣大股民，我實在不敢恭維。
That said if any stakeholders having intricate interests want to fish in troubled waters fool the masses of small investors and maximize their gains and monetary benefits under this loose system at the time of listing they will not have my approval
我希望政府和證監會一定要在這件事上謹守崗位，不能因有人反對便放棄如此重要的監管職責。
I hope the Government and SFC can perform their duties faithfully on this issue rather than relinquishing this very important regulatory function merely due to the opposition of some
代理主席，加強監管上市公司是應該做、值得做、必須做的事情，而且應該由法定機構全權監管上市申請，捍衞香港國際金融中心的聲譽。
Deputy President the Government ought to and is obliged to enhance the regulation of listed companies . While this is worth doing there is also a need to give statutory bodies the full power to monitor listing applications so that Hong Kongs reputation as an international financial centre can be safeguarded
近年上市新股出現的問題多不勝數，很多新上市企業相信大多屬內地企業都有一個特色，就是在招股書的財務報表中表示最初3年的盈利都會以雙位數高速增長，但在上市後一年內，盈利便會倒跌，有不少更在上市後不久便發出盈警。
New shares listed in Hong Kong in recent years are riddled with problems . Many new enterprises listed in Hong Kong―most of them I believe are Mainland enterprises―share a common characteristic and that is while a projection is made in the financial statements of their prospectus for a rapid and double - digit growth in profits in the first three years a drop in profits is on the contrary often recorded within one year after their listing and quite a number of them have even issued a profit warning soon after their listing
例如在2015年上市的新股中，有15%發盈警，創業板的新股更有29%發盈警。
For example 15 % of the new shares listed in 2015 and 29 % of those listed on the Growth Enterprise Market in the same year have issued a profit warning
在2016年年初上市的一間名叫"年年卡"的公司，更在上市後不足兩個月便發盈警。
In a more extreme case a profit warning has been issued for a company named NNK Group Limited in less than two months after its listing at the beginning of 2016
個別新股上市不久便被人成功狙擊，停牌至今，更令到投資者血本無歸。
Some new shares have been raided soon after their listing and have since then been suspended from trading thus causing huge losses to investors
例如2014年6月上市的天合化工，成功在香港集資63億元， 上市不足3個月便被沽空機構指其盈利被嚴重誇大，目標價應為0元。
For example Tianhe Chemicals Group Limited was listed in June 2014 and has successfully raised a fund of 6.3 billion in Hong Kong . However less than three months after its listing the profit forecasts of the company were rated as overly exaggerated by a company specialized in short selling activities and it was alleged that the target price should be 0
新股的保薦人不是應該做好把關工作，而港交所及證監會不是應該好好監察保薦人及嚴格監管新股質素嗎？
Should sponsors of new shares properly perform their gatekeeping role and should HKEx and SFC properly monitor the performance of sponsors and impose stringent control on the quality of new shares?
然而，最近數年，不少保薦人包括中資、港資、外資的保薦人，都不能盡責地保證新股的質素。
However over the past few years quite a number of sponsors be they operate with Mainland Hong Kong or foreign capital have failed to dutifully ensure the quality of new shares
除了最近被調查的瑞銀及渣打外，其他保薦人仍然可以繼續向市場推介各種古靈精怪、帳目新奇難懂的新股。
Apart from UBS AG and the Standard Chartered which are under investigation lately other sponsors are still free to recommend to investors all sorts of new shares which are weird and bizarre though the accounts of which are full of strange and inscrutable details
過去多年，證監會亦只曾駁回一個上市申請，令人感到上市監管制度可說是接近形同虛設。
Over the years only one listing application has been rejected by SFC and this gives us an impression that the listing regulatory regime exists in name only
為何說對於上市公司、保薦人的監管是形同虛設？
Why do I say that the regulation of sponsors exists in name only as far as listing companies are concerned?
其中一個原因是監管工作大部分交由港交所負責，而港交所又與上市事宜有嚴重利益衝突。
One of the reasons lies in the fact that most of the regulation work is undertaken by HKEx and there is a serious conflict of interests on the part of HKEx when listing matters are involved
簡單來說，越多公司上市成功，港交所便可賺取越多收入，因此港交所有誘因對有問題的上市申請"隻眼開，隻眼閉"。
Simply put if more companies can come and list in Hong Kong more revenue will be generated for HKEx and it serves as an incentive for HKEx to turn a blind eye to listing applications that have suitability concerns
如果加強監管，很可能有大量想申請上市的公司，尤其是內地企業不能成功上市，港交所便會少收很多上市費。
If the regulatory regime is enhanced a large number of companies which are planning to submit a listing application Mainland enterprises in particular may not be able to come and list in Hong Kong and the listing fee income of HKEx will drop significantly
同樣地，如果加強監管，令成功申請上市的個案數目減少，證券商從推銷新股賺取的利潤亦會減少，這個道理相信很容易明白。
Similarly if regulation in this regard is enhanced so that the number of successful listing applications is reduced profits reaped by securities brokers in promoting subscription of new shares will also record a decline . This is something very easy for us to understand
在監管機制形同虛設的情況下，保薦人可以繼續胡亂包銷及推銷有問題的新股。
Since the regulatory regime exists in name only sponsors may continue to recklessly underwrite and subscribe for new shares that have suitability concerns
保薦人更可能為了吸引更多內地企業委託他們處理上市事宜，而聘用與該等內地企業有密切關係的人，擔任保薦公司高層。
Sponsors may even employ persons closely connected with Mainland enterprises as their senior staff so that more of these enterprises would commission them to deal with their listing matters
例如近日有公司在擔任上市公司保薦人之前，聘請了該公司董事長的女兒，希望藉此討好上市公司高層，獲得包銷上市的機會。
For example in a recent case in order to butter up the senior management of a listed company and have the chance to underwrite the companys shares to be listed in the market the sponsor of that company has employed the daughter of the companys board chairman before its service was commissioned
在上市過程中，保薦人只要吹噓國際配售超額多少倍，然後找數個財經演員推銷新股，新股便不難獲得散戶認購。
During the listing process what sponsors of new shares have to do is to brag about the achievement of an oversubscription rate of a certain number of times in international placing hire a few financial actors to promote subscription of the shares and small investors will then be easily attracted to subscribe for the shares
新股上市後業績走樣甚至停牌，均與保薦人無關。
Sponsors will not be responsible for the underperformance or even suspension of trading of new shares after they have been listed
最後，散戶血本無歸，但保薦人、港交所以至證券商仍可袋袋平安，獲得巨額的上市費用。
Ultimately small investors will suffer huge losses but sponsors HKEx and even securities brokers can still pocket exorbitant profits out of the listing of these new shares
這些故事不停上演，但香港的散戶有一個特色，就是善忘。
There have been just too many of such stories around but small investors in Hong Kong are often forgetful
這可能是"賭仔"性格，因此儘管新股屢次出事，但散戶都會抵受不住誘惑，在"有賭未為輸"之下繼續墮入這些幾近騙局的新股圈套。
Although losses have been repeatedly incurred by investing into new shares it seems that small investors are like gamblers and their hope of winning a bet never dies . Hence they just cannot resist the temptation and will continue to fall into traps set with the issuance of promising new shares and the whole thing can almost be regarded as fraud
由此可見，由有嚴重利益衝突的港交所處理上市申請，很難有效保障散戶及投資者的權益。
It can thus be seen that if HKEx with serious conflict of interests is tasked with handling listing applications it would be very difficult to protect the rights and interests of small investors effectively
我支持由法定機構監管上市申請，這才能解決利益衝突的問題。
I support regulating listing applications by statutory bodies in order to avoid any possible conflict of interests
我更加建議監管上市申請的法定機構應有更多支援，以便他們可到內地調查有問題的申請上市公司，防止帳目有問題的企業在香港上市，賺取香港人的血汗錢。
I also suggest that more support should be provided to the statutory bodies responsible for regulating listing applications so that they may initiate investigation in the Mainland on companies that have submitted a listing application but have suitability concerns . This can prevent enterprises which have messy accounts from coming to list in Hong Kong and sucking in the hard - earned money of the people of Hong Kong
就今天張華峰議員提出的原議案，我認為剛才姚松炎議員的發言很有道理，當中提到積極推動金融創新。
With regard to the original motion moved by Mr Christopher CHEUNG today I think what Dr YIU Chung - yim has said in his speech just now makes very good sense and he has talked about the need to make vigorous attempts to promote financial innovation
金融創新當然可有助很多人賺取很多金錢，似能搞活經濟，但這究竟是泡沫還是實體呢？
A lot of people would of course be benefited from financial innovation and make a big fortune while the economy would be revitalized but would it be a bubble economy or real economic growth?
口口聲聲表示愛國的人，原來都持有外國護照。
Some people claim that they are patriotic while keeping foreign passports in their back pockets
所以，"假難民"這件事是建基於香港很多的假事物，包括假民主。
Hence the issue of bogus refugees is built on many bogus matters including bogus democracy
眾所周知，某政黨說要2007年、2008年雙普選，甚至政黨名稱也有"民主"二字，但原來是假民主。
As we all know a certain political party advocated dual universal suffrage in 2007 and 2008 and its party title also bears the word democratic but this is only bogus democracy
有假愛國、假民主，難怪會有"假難民"，因為有些假權威裝作為市民辦事。
When there are bogus patriots and bogus democracy it is not surprising to have bogus refugees as there are some bogus authoritative people pretending to work for the public
其實，過萬宗積壓個案一定要處理妥當。
In fact the backlog of over 10 000 cases has to be properly handled
在立法會內，我們三番四次要求政府增加資源、簡化程序，以及加快酷刑聲請或難民資格的審批速度。
In the Legislative Council we repeatedly asked the Government to increase resources streamline the procedures and speed up processing of torture claims or verifying of refugee status
可惜，政府怎樣回應呢？
What was the response of the Government?
政府不到最後一刻，不到終審法院頒令"政府有責任"的判決前都不願做。
It is unfortunate that the Government did not do anything until the last moment when the CFA handed down the judgment stating the Governments obligation
造成今天的局面，究竟是誰的責任？
Who actually should be held responsible for causing the situation today?
第二點，其實難民生活是很多人都經歷過的。
Secondly many people actually have such an experience as refugees
香港曾是一個難民地區，當年有多少人為了逃避文化大革命、大飢荒，或是共產黨的各種政治鬥爭來到香港？
Hong Kong was a place of refugees . Back then how many people had fled to Hong Kong in order to escape from the Cultural Revolution the Great Famine or the various political struggles of the Communist Party?
這些人全是難民，我們只不過利用了正面力量，令這些難民成為建設香港最重要的一部分。
All these people were refugees . We have only made use of the positive power and turned these refugees to be the most important part in building up Hong Kong
很多人在香港落地生根，成為香港重要的一分子，增加生產力和勞動力。
Many of these people settled in Hong Kong and have become an important part of Hong Kong enhancing our productivity and labour force
