2019年7月，我、葉太及新民黨成員與財政司司長會面時，曾建議政府向每名產後婦女派發2萬元現金津貼，希望減輕有新生嬰兒的家庭的壓力。
In July 2019 when Mrs IP members of the New Peoples Party and I met with the Financial Secretary we proposed that the Government should distribute 20,000 cash allowance to each woman in the postnatal period with a view to reducing the pressure of families with newborns
主席，我發言支持劉國勳議員的原議案及姚思榮議員的修正案。
President I speak in support of Mr LAU Kwok - fans original motion and Mr YIU Si - wings amendment
主席，兩位議員今天提出議案和修正案，可說是非常及時，也可說是太遲。
President it can be said that it is both timely and too late for the two Members to propose the motion and the amendment today
及時是因為我們3天前剛在發展事務委員會的會議上，討論新界北的發展和規劃，而政府希望申請撥款進行研究。
It is timely because we had a discussion on the development and planning of New Territories North at a meeting of the Panel on Development three days ago and the Government would like to apply for funding for study
今天的辯論讓全體議員就這方面提出意見，確實非常合適。
It is indeed very appropriate to have a debate today to allow all Members to express their views on the issue
但是，如果反過來從較宏觀的角度看，我們今天才討論如何發展新界北，確實是太遲。
But if we look from a broader perspective it is actually too late for us to discuss how to develop New Territories North only until today
我經常展示規劃署的一張圖片，大家可以看到，全部是魚塘、草地、荒廢的樹林和農地，但後面卻高廈林立。
I often showed this photo from the Planning Department and Members can see that there are fish ponds grasslands deserted woods and agricultural land everywhere but at their back stood many tall buildings
大家都看到，過去二三十年，香港北區的發展滯後，但深圳卻藉着與香港的緊密聯繫，發展得非常好，我們確實滯後了二三十年。
As we can see the development of the North District in Hong Kong has been lagging behind in the past 20 to 30 years while Shenzhen has benefited from its close ties with Hong Kong and achieved very good development . We are actually lagging 20 to 30 years behind
不過，香港有本身的優勢。
However Hong Kong has its own advantages
如果我們今天提出要立即發展北區，不要再理會繁文縟節，我們絕對追得上。
If we propose today to develop the North District immediately disregarding the red tape we can definitely catch up
只要配合中央的政策、大灣區的發展和"十四五"規劃，除了北區的產業和房屋發展以外，還可以幫助提升香港的地位、帶動經濟發展，以及解決社會的深層次問題。
As long as we go in tandem with the policies of the Central Authorities the development of the Greater Bay Area GBA and the 14 Five - Year Plan not only can we develop industries and housing in the North District it will also help enhance Hong Kongs status drive economic development and solve deep - seated problems of our society
主席，談到北區的規劃發展，我必須重申我經常提出的一點，就是政府的規劃思維非常落後，將所有厭惡性設施設置在北區邊境地區。
President when it comes to the planning and development of the North District I must reiterate one point that I have often mentioned ie . the backward mindset of the Government in planning which has placed all offensive facilities in the border area of the North District
有些人批評我只顧及自己代表的地區的利益，為了鄰避效應而不想這些東西在有關地區出現。
Some have criticized me for caring only the interests of the district represented by me and adopting a not - in - my - backyard attitude by avoiding unwanted facilities
如果政府因不想重新經過城市規劃程序，而繼續發展不適合在北區設立的厭惡性設施，便是未能與時並進、未能融入國家發展大局，也未能配合大灣區發展和"十四五"規劃。
If it is the reluctance of the Government to go through the town planning process again that has prompted it to continue to develop offensive facilities that are unsuitable to be established in the North District then it is the Governments failure to respond to changing demands integrate into the overall development of the country or dovetail with the development of GBA and the 14 Five - Year Plan
換言之，不會再在北區設立厭惡性設施，令這個具發展潛力的地方失卻土地發展的意義。
In other words no more offensive facilities will be established in the North District so that this piece of land with potential will not lose the meaning of development
政府一直非常關注青少年的發展和向上流動的機會，而教育正是投資未來、培育人才、促進社會流動的重要一環。
The Government has always been very concerned about the development of young people and their opportunities for upward mobility and education is an important part of investing for the future nurturing talent and promoting social mobility
事實上，政府在教育方面投放大量資源。
In fact the Government has invested heavily in education
我們透過公營學校為所有兒童提供12年免費小學及中學教育，同時致力為青少年提供優質、多元及多階進出的升學進修途徑。
We provide 12 years free primary and secondary education for all children through public sector schools and strived to provide quality and diversified study pathways with multiple entry and exit points for young people
提供均衡而多元化的學校教育，能滿足學生的不同需要，幫助他們為了未來的學習和個人成長累積知識、建立價值觀、培養技能等。
Balanced and diversified school education can meet the diverse needs of students help them build knowledge values and skills for further studies and personal development
我們期望無論是幼稚園、小學、中學，以至專上學生，都可以在學習中發掘自己的能力和興趣，通過不斷自我提升，成為社會上才德兼備的一分子。
We hope that all students from kindergarten primary secondary to post - secondary levels will be able to explore their abilities and interests in learning and through continuous self - improvement become a member of society of great ability and integrity
剛才議員亦提到青年人的夢想，教育局積極推動學校為所有中學生及早作好生涯規劃，讓他們透過升學就業輔導做 好準備，了解自己個人的長處和升學就業的取向，畢業後能把握機會，發揮潛能，為自己的夢想而努力，為社會的進步作出貢獻。
A Member also mentioned the dreams of young people just now . The Education Bureau has actively promoted the early preparations for career and life planning of all secondary school students . Through study and career counselling students can understand their own strengths as well as their preference for further studies and employment grasp the opportunities after graduation give full play to their potentials work hard for their dreams and make contribution to the progress of society
此外，政府亦為學生提供多元化的支援服務及措施，包括設立校本課後學習及支援計劃及學生活動支援津貼，支援有經濟需要的中小學生參與課後活動和全方位學習活動，以及提供學習支援津貼以支援有特殊教育需要的中小學生，照顧他們的學習差異等。
In addition the Government also provides a wide range of support services and measures for students including the School - based After - school Learning and Support Programmes and Student Activities Support Grant . They seek to support students with financial needs in primary and secondary schools to participate in after - school activities and life - wide learning activities . Learning Support Grant has also been provided to primary and secondary students with special educational needs to cater for their learning differences etc
除學生資助外，自2019-2020學年起，我們為所有在香港就讀中學日校、小學和特殊學校，以及幼稚園的學生提供每年2,500元的學生津貼，以減輕家長在教育支出方面的財政負擔。
In addition to student financial assistance from the 2019 - 2020 school year onwards an annual student grant of 2,500 will be provided to all students attending secondary day schools primary and special schools as well as kindergartens in Hong Kong to alleviate the financial burden of parents in meeting education expenses
未來，教育局會繼續確保所有學生，不論其家庭背景，都能受惠於政府整體在教育上投放的資源。
In the future the Bureau will continue to ensure that all students irrespective of their family background can benefit from the Governments overall investment in education
我們亦會繼續提供專業的服務，並與教育界不同持份者保持緊密連繫及溝通，優化香港的教育制度，提升教育質素，培育下一代。
We will also continue to provide professional services and maintain close liaison and communication with different stakeholders in the education sector with a view to improving Hong Kongs education system enhancing the quality of education and nurturing our next generation
為增加發展邊境經濟的關注度，我於2014年1月8日立法會會議上提出"推動落馬洲及大嶼山的經濟發展"議案，並獲得通過。
Since then more concrete actions have been taken . To increase the level of concern for developing the economy of the border I proposed a motion on Promoting the economic development of Lok Ma Chau and Lantau Island at the Legislative Council meeting on 8 January 2014 and the motion was passed
談到為建設新田購物城所花的心血，當中的經歷非常不簡單。
Speaking of the efforts devoted to the construction of the Boxes in San Tin the experience was not simple at all
為了尋找合適地方，曾到新田、落馬洲附近一帶實地視察，看見的是一望無際的土地，但很多是泥地、石路，更多是魚塘。
To identify suitable site we had conducted site inspection on the area of San Tin and Lok Ma Chau . What we saw was a huge piece of land with patches of muddy land stone roads and many fish ponds in particular
圍村裏散落數間平房，樹木和蘆葦草，還有數條大電纜橫空而過。
There were some scattered cottages trees and reeds scattering in the walled village and several large electric cables stretching along the sky
在烈日當空下，有數隻雀鳥在頭頂飛過，沒有多少基建設施。
Under the burning sun there was nothing but only few birds flying above our heads . Not much infrastructure could be seen
猶記得當時獲得特區政府的積極回應，特別召開跨部門會議，除商務及經濟發展局和發展局兩個政策局外，還有10多個政府部門代表一起出席，了解有關計劃和提供政府意見。
I still remember that the SAR Government responded positively and specially convened an inter - departmental meeting for that purpose . Apart from the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau as well as the Development Bureau representatives from more than 10 government departments also attended the meeting to understand the relevant proposal and express views of the Government
縱然得到政府的支持，要向政府各部門作出相關申請卻不容易，要處理的事亦是千頭萬緒，還要與各部門打交道，例如地政總署批出臨時土地用途的租約最長只有3年，即每3年要辦理續租一次。
Despite the fact that the proposal was supported by the Government it was not easy to make the relevant applications to various government departments . We had to attend to all sorts of things and have dealings with various departments . For instance the period of the tenancy granted by the Lands Department for temporary land use was only three years at most meaning that the tenancy had to be renewed every three years
由於申請費時，需預早半年開始辦理有關手續。
As the application was time - consuming we had to start going through the procedures six months in advance
此外，還要處理環境評估、消防、水務、供電、排污和交通運輸等申請手續，相關程序難以獲得通過，所需的要求非常嚴格，不容易滿足所有條件。
Moreover we had to deal with the application procedures in relation to environmental assessment fire safety water supply electricity supply sewage transportation etc . It was difficult to get through the relevant procedures as the requirements were very strict . It was not easy to satisfy all the conditions
我記得那年颱風"山竹"襲港時，連一棵樹苗被颱風吹倒也成審批的障礙。
I recall that when Typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong that year even a sapling blown down by the typhoon could become a barrier for approval
然而，一路走來，難題逐一得到解決，而我亦從中學懂不少。
However as time went by we overcame the difficult problems one by one and I learned a lot in the course of it
可惜，因政策的改變，令社會逐漸缺乏這種氛圍，購物城最終未能發揮最理想的成效。
Unfortunately due to a change in policy this atmosphere was lost in the community and the Boxes had failed to yield the most desirable results in the end
我認為香港繼續發展口岸經濟是必須的，尤其是正值內地經濟騰飛時，香港更應藉粵港澳大灣區規劃發展的機會，發展邊境經濟。
I think it is necessary for Hong Kong to continue to develop port economy . Particularly when the economy of the Mainland is expanding rapidly Hong Kong should seize the opportunity of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area development to develop the economy of the border
我們要爭取自身的發展空間，發揮一切的優勢，才能達到互利共贏的局面，讓香港可以持續發展。
We must strive for room for self - development and bring all our advantages into full play . Only in this way can we achieve a win - win situation and ensure the continuous development of Hong Kong
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持原議案及修正案。
President with these remarks I support the original motion and the amendment
主席，首先，我非常感謝蔣麗芸議員今天提出"設立新生代基金，協助香港新生代籌劃未來"議案。
President first of all I am very grateful to Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for proposing the motion on Setting up a New Generation Fund to help the new generation in Hong Kong plan for their future today
蔣麗芸議員對於新生代、對於青年人是非常關心和支持的，她身體力行，用她的資源、網絡和心機，在社會上推動不同的項目，希望青年人在香港找到希望。
Dr CHIANG Lai - wan is very concerned about and supportive of the new generation and young people and by using her resources network and efforts she has taken concrete actions to promote various projects in society hoping that young people can find hope in Hong Kong
早前，蔣議員亦曾提出設立嬰兒基金。
Earlier on Dr CHIANG had also proposed the establishment of a baby fund
正如她在開場發言時提到，她在吸納大家的意見後，鍥而不捨，將嬰兒基金調整為"新生代基金"，希望爭取大家的支持。
As she mentioned in her opening speech after taking on board Members views she has persevered and changed the baby fund to a New Generation Fund in the hope of winning Members support
她在社會上亦籌辦了一個向青少年提供活動的服務中心，透過她的努力，讓一群基層人士，特別是青少年，可以在中心學習及尋找機會，真的非常感謝蔣麗芸議員對青年人的支持及付出。
She has also established a service centre in the community to organize activities for young people and through her efforts a group of grass - roots people especially youngsters are able to learn and find opportunities in the centre . I am really thankful to Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for her support and contributions
我剛才很留心聆聽蔣議員的開場發言、局長的回應及各位議員就議案提出的疑問，這些意見我是理解的，但我們要顧及青年人所面對的艱難。
Just now I have listened attentively to Dr CHIANGs opening speech the Secretarys response and the queries raised by Members on the motion . While I understand their views we have to take into account the hardships facing the young people
香港樓價真的貴絕全球，生活指數高企，青年人在畢業後進入職場，薪金微薄，加上要償還學生貸款，向上流動機會不足，很多人連解決日常生活開支也感到吃力。
Property prices in Hong Kong are the highest in the world and the cost of living index remains high . Young people however can only earn meager salaries when they enter the workforce upon graduation . Worse still they will have to repay their student loans and there is a lack of opportunities for upward mobility
跟青年人傾談後得知，他們節衣縮食，到了30歲仍不敢考慮結婚，因為仍未解決居住問題，有部分人甚至在結婚後仍要分開居住。
Many of them can even barely make ends meet . After talking to the young people I learnt that they had to live frugally and dared not consider getting married when they reached the age of 30 so long as the problem of accommodation remained unresolved . Some couples on the other hand have to live separately after getting married
每次聽到這些故事，我都感到十分心酸。
I feel very sad whenever I heard these stories
他們可能被迫推遲結婚計劃，部分人亦未必能給予父母生活費。
Some of them may be forced to postpone their marriage plans whereas some may not be able to provide living expenses for their parents
更重要的是，做人要有希望，他們大多數對前景會較為悲觀，不敢奢望有夢想。
While it is important for us to have hope most of the young people are pretty pessimistic about their future and dare not dream
我曾粗略研究，這群青年人有不錯的學歷，很多人是大專畢業，但由於香港樓價貴絕全球，所以未能"上樓"，而在香港亦未必能夠找到有很大發展機會的工作，所以我稱他們為"無殼"的邊緣中產。
After a cursory examination I found that these young people have good academic qualifications as many of them are tertiary graduates but given that property prices in Hong Kong are the highest in the world they cannot afford to buy their own homes and may not be able to find jobs in Hong Kong that offer great development opportunities . That is why I call them the shell - less marginal middle class
我推算過，他們約有100萬人。
According to my estimation there are about 1 million of them
對於這群"無殼"的邊緣中產面對的困境，政府真的責無旁貸，必須思考有甚麼綜合政策可以幫助他們。
Regarding the plight faced by this group of shell - less marginal middle class the Government is really duty - bound and must consider introducing comprehensive policies to help them
在青年人眼中，很多成年人經常說"你'捱吓啦'！
In the eyes of young people many adults always say Toughen up!
其實，投資於小朋友的教育，讓他們增值，是最實在能幫助青年人向上流動，我絕對同意，所以一定要支持青年人在多方面學習，提升自己。
As a matter of fact investing in the education of children for their enhancement is the most practical way of ensuring upward mobility of young people . I absolutely agree with this and will certainly support young people to pursue self - enhancement through diversified learning
不過，最近有一項數字，讓我們要深思。
However there is a recent figure to which we must give deep thought
青年人是否不努力？
Have young people not worked hard enough?
局長，我想跟大家分享的是：恐怕並非如此。
Secretary what I want to share here is I am afraid this is not the case
最近，有媒體報道政府回應立法會議員的質詢時指出，"90後"的收入輸在起跑線，15年後的薪金雖已翻兩倍，但仍未能追上"上車盤"樓市瘋癲的壓力。
Recently according to a media report in response to a question raised by a Legislative Council Member the Government pointed out that the income of the post - 90s did lose at the starting line and although their salaries have doubled after 15 years they were still unable to catch up with the frantic upward pressure of the Starter Homes
簡單而言，有相同學歷的"70後"所賺的薪金遠遠多於"80後"，而"90後"則較幸運，似乎比"80後"略高，但仍然未能追及"70後"的起點。
Simply put the post - 70s with the same qualification earn much more than the post - 80s whereas the post - 90s are luckier as they appeared to earn more than the post - 80s but they still fail to match up with the starting point of the post - 70s
不是的，是因為社會經濟成熟和這樣那樣的理由，未能給他們一個向上流動的機會。
No but because we now have a mature economy coupled with various other reasons they are not given any opportunity of upward mobility
因此，我希望政府仔細考慮蔣議員的建議，綜合思考政策，幫助這群邊緣中產青年人，讓他們看見希望。
Therefore I hope that the Government will carefully consider Dr CHIANGs proposal and give holistic consideration to the policy so as to help this group of marginal middle - class young people and let them see hope
無論如何，就這項議案而言，究竟在10年、20年後，我們會否還有所謂的新生代？
Anyway with respect to this motion will we still have the so - called new generation 10 or 20 years later?
我當時投贊成票是基於我所理解的政治理論，而這套政治理論很簡單直接：能夠強化本地香港人公民權的政策，我們稱之為全民政策，只要相關政策能強化香港人在出生後於香港作為香港人應有的公民權，我便會支持。
I voted in favour of Dr CHIANGs motion back then based on my understanding of a simple and direct political theory We call whatever policy which can strengthen the civil rights of local Hong Kong people a universal policy . I will support all policies which will strengthen the civil rights enjoyed by Hong Kong residents born in Hong Kong
根本不需要再設立甚麼"新生代基金"，要做現在便可立即做到。
We basically do not need to set up any New Generation Fund and can invest in our new generation right away
討論"新生代基金"已經過時，大家看社會的反應便知道。
The discussion on the New Generation Fund has become outdated as reflected in public response
有些人可能會對一些新晉樂隊和藝人走紅感到不明所以，但現時的香港正處於一個轉捩點，看看大家會否爭一口氣。
Some people may find it inconceivable that some new bands and artists have recently shot to fame but Hong Kong is currently at a turning point and it remains to be seen if Hong Kong people can strive to bring honour to ourselves
主席，首先，我感謝劉國勳議員提出原議案和姚思榮議員提出修正案。
President to start with I would like to thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the original motion and Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing the amendment
我發言支持原議案，亦支持修正案。
I speak in support of the original motion and the amendment
主席，今天我們的議題是關於新界北的發展。
President our motion is about the development of New Territories North
這項河套區發展計劃早前在立法會已作討論，現正準備開展。
This development plan in the Loop has already been discussed by the Legislative Council and will soon commence
最近，政府向發展事務委員會提交建議，表示會進一步發展新田/落馬洲，當中會有產業用地，包括57公頃企業及科技用地。
Recently the Government has introduced a proposal to the Panel on Development proposing that San TinLok Ma Chau will be further developed to provide sites for different industries including a 57 - hectare enterprise and technology site
主席，就河套區的發展和新田/落馬洲的最新發展，我希望政府能夠做好規劃，釐清河套區和新田/落馬洲這兩個企業和科技產業地區的分工。
President noting the development of the Loop and the latest development of San TinLok Ma Chau I hope that the Government will make best - laid plans and a clear division of labour between the two areas as they are both enterprise and technology industrial regions
據我們所知，河套區方面，政府的規劃較聚焦於發展生物科技和濕實驗室等。
As far as we understand it the Government has planned to develop the Loop by focusing more on the development of the biotechnology industry wet laboratories etc
香港最近正在討論再工業化。
Re - industrialization has been a hot topic in Hong Kong lately
在再工業化的過程中，有些傳統工業其實可把生產線提升為智能生產線。
In the process of re - industrialization the production lines of certain traditional industries can actually be upgraded to become smart production lines
在此情況下，新田/落馬洲的57公頃企業及科技用地可否預留部分讓傳統工業進駐，為其科技提升提供土地配套，從而支援香港的再工業化？
So can the Government earmark part of the 57 - hectare enterprise and technology site in San TinLok Ma Chau to provide traditional industries with land support for its technological upgrading thereby supporting Hong Kongs re - industrialization?
主席，新界北的發展規劃有些部分已經展開，包括交通設施。
President the development plan of New Territories North has partially commenced which includes the provision of transport facilities
重建皇崗口岸，將來實施"一地兩檢"，顯然更為方便公眾，亦可配合港深之間"東進東出、西進西出"的交通規劃。
Upon the redevelopment of Huanggang Port the implementation of co - location arrangement will certainly bring more convenience to the public and dovetail with the transport plan of East in East out West in West out between Hong Kong and Shenzhen
待皇崗口岸重建完成並實施"一地兩檢"後，該處更可釋出20公頃土地。面對這些釋出的土地，我們自然希望政府能夠作出更完善的用途規劃。
The implementation of co - location arrangement at the redeveloped Huanggang Port will release 20 hectares of land and we surely hope that the Government will formulate better land use plan for the released land
但是，我不得不提，政府的規劃問題往往在於交通配套追不上，其中一個實際例子是北環綫。
Yet I must say that the problem with the planning of the Government often lies in its failure to provide timely ancillary transport facilities . The construction of the Northern Link is a concrete example
我們過去已多番在此要求政府加快建設北環綫，但政府現時交出的時間表仍然是2034年。
While we have been urging the Government time and again to expedite the construction of the Link the timetable provided by the Government is still that it will not be completed until 2034
因此，我認為政府必須更有效地加快處理相關交通配套安排。
Therefore I consider it important for the Government to make the relevant transport arrangements in a more effective and efficient manner
我留意到劉國勳議員曾在發展事務委員會就此事提出很好的建議，我希望政府能夠聽到這方面的意見。
I note that Mr LAU Kwok - fan has already made some good suggestions in this regard at the meetings of the Panel on Development . I hope that the Government will listen to these views
主席，我發言支持原議案和修正案。
President I speak in support of the original motion and its amendment
代理主席，我首先在此感謝劉國勳議員提出"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"的議案，以及姚思榮議員提出修正案。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the motion on Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy and Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing the amendment
不過，國家今天表明，在大灣區發展中，高新科技會成為香港的發展方向，這是一個非常重要的信息。
Nevertheless nowadays the country has specified new and high technology to be the new development direction of Hong Kong in the development of GBA . This is a very important message
如果發展局局長認為仍然需要凍結這些土地，相信未來的發展一定不足以應付大灣區的創新科技要求。
If the Secretary for Development insists that the land shall remain frozen I believe our future development will definitely fall short of GBAs demand for innovation and technology IT
新界北有大量土地。
There is a large amount of land in New Territories North
佔地87公頃的河套區已定位為發展創新科技的地方，並且正在施工。
The 87 - hectare Lok Ma Chau Loop has been positioned to develop IT and construction is now underway
除此之外，還有數以千計公頃的土地未被規劃和發展。
Apart from it thousands of hectares of land has yet to be planned and developed
如何能配合大灣區發展，為香港帶來更高效、更快速的經濟發展，是十分重要的問題。
It is of paramount importance for Hong Kong to dovetail with the development of GBA to foster more efficient and rapid economic development
由此可見，香港的土地，尤其是用作科技發展的土地非常短缺。
From this we can see that in Hong Kong there is a serious shortage of land especially for IT development
因此，新界北的發展非常重要。
Thus the development of New Territories North is very important
最近，特區政府就新界北的發展規劃提出初步建議。
Recently the SAR Government has put forward a preliminary proposal on the development plan for New Territories North
我亦在此建議政府提供更多交通配套，以免新界地區鄉民抗拒政府的發展。
I also suggest that the Government should provide more transport ancillary facilities so as to avoid resistance from villagers in the New Territories to the developments undertaken by the Government
代理主席，我首先感謝劉國勳議員今天提出"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"的原議案，亦感謝姚思榮議員提出的修正案，加入"開放部分沙頭角墟禁區，利用沙頭角公眾碼頭發展海上旅遊及中英街發展邊境旅遊"。
Deputy President I would like to first thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the original motion on Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy today . I also thank Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing an amendment to add partially open up the closed area of Sha Tau Kok Town and make use of the Sha Tau Kok Public Pier to develop marine tourism and Chung Ying Street to develop boundary tourism
我今天早上留意到，黃偉綸局長及其團隊早上已在座專注聆聽議員的發言。
I noticed this morning that Secretary Michael WONG and his team have been present for the whole morning and listening attentively to the speeches of Members
這項是議員議案，並非政府議案，而議員議案未必一定有官員坐在這裏，但黃偉綸局長卻整個早上都在席。
This is a Members motion rather than a Governments motion and government officials may not necessarily present for a Members motion . However Secretary Michael WONG has been present for the whole morning
我相信他是希望留心聽取各議員對於發展，尤其新界東北發展的看法。
I believe he wishes to listen carefully to Members views on development especially the development of North East New Territories
香港是非常獨特的地方，是國際薈萃的地方，很多外國人士經常來港。
Hong Kong is a very unique place . It is an international place frequently visited by many foreign people
對於世界各地而言，香港是中心點，同時亦有背靠祖國的優勢。
To the rest of the world Hong Kong is the central point which at the same time leverages on the advantage of our close ties with the Motherland
外國的朋友來港當然會經香港的機場，亦有可能是乘坐郵輪，但相關數字仍十分少。
Foreign people coming to Hong Kong may enter via our airport or may come by cruise vessels but the relevant figure is still insignificant
國內的朋友來港會乘坐飛機或高速鐵路，但亦可經其 中一個很重要的位置，就是新界北。
People from the Mainland may come to Hong Kong by flight or Express Rail Link but they may also enter via one of the very important locations that is New Territories North
