對於普通市民，尤其是在這些口岸或基建附近居住的市民，他們未必直接感受到"一小時生活圈"的便利，卻已"硬食"了不少所謂"副作用"，即人流增加帶來的影響。
The ordinary citizens especially those living near these ports or such infrastructure may not be able to benefit directly from the convenience brought by the one - hour living circle . In fact they have to bear the brunt of a lot of the so - called side effects that is the impact due to the increase in people flow
對於交通運輸路線的規劃，我有一些意見。
I have some opinions on the planning of transportation routes
在剛過去的星期天，經港珠澳大橋出入境的人次高達10萬人，來往東涌及大橋口岸的B6線巴士站亦大排長龍。
Last Sunday as many as 100 000 passenger trips were recorded at HZMB . There was a long queue waiting for bus Route No . B6 which runs between Tung Chung and the Bridge port
大量旅客把該處擠得水泄不通，連帶產生很多環境衞生、道路擠塞等問題，令居民怨聲載道。
The area was really crowded with a lot of environmental hygiene road congestion and other problems causing widespread discontent among residents
其實，這些大型基建開通之前，政府應該提前做好規劃及交通配套，避免附近居民的生活受到影響。
In fact before the commissioning of these large - scale infrastructure projects the Government should have done a better job of planning and provision of ancillary transport facilities to avoid affecting the lives of nearby residents
就此，我希望政府盡快嚴肅處理前述的問題。
In this regard I hope that the Government will seriously deal with the aforementioned problems as soon as possible
因此，我希望政府推出或興建這些大型設施之前，考慮提供其他配套措施和設施，令市民的生活不會因而受影響。
Therefore I hope that the Government will consider providing other support measures and facilities before launching or constructing these large - scale facilities so that the living of the citizens will not be affected
第二，我想說一說共享經濟。
Second I would like to talk about sharing economy
特首在2017年施政報告就創新及科技提出若干施政方向，其中一個就是"檢視現行法例及法規，掃除窒礙創科發展而不合時宜的條文"。
In the 2017 Policy Address the Chief Executive put forward a number of policy directions on innovation and technology . One of them is to review existing legislation and regulations so as to remove outdated provisions that impede the development of innovation and technology
施政報告指出："隨着科技迅速發展，共享經濟等新經濟模式近年在國內外城市大行其道，催生了不少新興經濟活動"。
The Policy Address pointed out With the rapid advancement in technology new economic models such as the sharing economy are becoming increasingly popular in the Mainland and overseas cities in recent years leading to the emergence of many new economic activities
特首又表示，"會要求新成立的'政策創新與統籌辦事處'，連同各政策局積極檢視各政策範疇內的政策和法例，作出更新，'拆牆鬆綁'，以扶助新經濟發展"。
The Chief Executive also stated that she will ask the Policy Innovation and Co - ordination Unit to be established to work with all bureaux to proactively review the policies and legislation within their policy purview to bring them up to date and remove red tape in order to foster the development of a new economy
法官在相關案件的判詞中指出，公共政策須顧及重大的科技突破，法律應因時制宜，才能在更好地保障社會大眾的同時，不會扼殺創新科技和新興行業的發展，讓市場也有機會升級轉型。
In a judgment on a relevant case the Judge pointed out that public policies should take into account major technological breakthroughs and legislation should be up - to - date to make sure that while the public can be afforded better protection the development of innovative technologies and new industries will not be stifled so that the market will also has opportunities to undergo upgrading and transformation
內地已確立網約車服務平台的合法性，並制訂相應的互聯網預約出租車的經營辦法規定，包括規定出租車要登記和註冊、司機須具備若干年期的駕駛經驗及持有駕駛員證等。
The Mainland has legalized the online car hailing service platform and formulated the corresponding Regulation on Online Taxi Booking Business Operations and Services . It requires the taxis to be registered and the drivers shall have certain years of driving experience and driving licences etc
內地當局亦鼓勵傳統的士行業建立完整的評價資訊系統，以及利用互聯網技術和無現金支付方式等進行升級轉型。
The Mainland authorities also encourage the traditional taxi trade to establish a comprehensive information system for evaluating their services and to upgrade and transform the trade using Internet technology and cashless payment methods
說畢內地的發展，相比之下，我們看到香港現在對於Uber或同類型的新興經濟，均未有相應的政策或措施，因而受害的始終是市民。
Compared to the developments on the Mainland we can see that Hong Kong currently does not have any corresponding policy or measure for Uber or similar types of new economic activities . As a result Hong Kong people will suffer after all
政府的政策如何做到"雙贏"？
How can the Government achieve a win - win situation?
就是不忽視現時新興經濟對傳統行業帶來的衝擊，亦不會"一刀切"禁止網約服務不一定是網約車，可能是其他新興服務。
We should not ignore the impacts of the new economy on the traditional industries and make sure that their interests are protected . At the same time the online car hailing service or other forms of new services should not be banned in a broad - brush manner
主席，政府一直銳意把香港打造成智慧城市，但至今仍好像空談願景，未見實際成果。
President the Government has been keen to develop Hong Kong into a smart city . However this still seems to be empty talk or just a vision with no actual results seen
Google香港今年10月發表了《智慧數碼城市白皮書》，調查發現只有30%本地市民覺得香港是智慧城市。
Google Hong Kong released the Smarter Digital City Whitepaper in October this year . Its findings showed that only 30 % of the local residents consider Hong Kong a smart city
受訪者普遍認為政府未有投入足夠資源，將香港轉型為智慧城市。
Respondents in general think that the Government has not invested enough resources to transform Hong Kong into a smart city
陳帆局長今天在席，我想趁機會多談市民關心的交通問題。
Secretary Frank CHAN is present today . I would like to take the opportunity to talk more about the traffic problem which is of concern to the public
政府去年公布了《香港智慧城市藍圖》，當中提及收集和提供不同的交通資訊，但未有提出更多有效措施和長遠規劃來解決交通擠塞及泊車位不足的問題。
The Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong was released by the Government last year . The Blueprint talks about the collection and provision of different transportation data but there is no provision of more effective measures and long - term plans to resolve the problems of traffic congestion and inadequate parking spaces
事實上，全球不少地區已經利用人工智能、物聯網和衞星定位系統等科技，建立高效便捷的綜合交通管理系統，紓緩道路擠塞的問題。
In fact many places around the world are using technologies such as artificial intelligence the Internet of Things and the Global Positioning System GPS to establish an efficient and convenient integrated traffic management system to alleviate congestion on roads
我希望政府不要再閉門造車，而應多與市民和專家交流意見，才能夠更"貼地"明白市民的日常需要，善用科技提升市民的生活環境和質素。
I hope that the Government will cease to work behind closed doors but have more communication with society and experts to better understand the daily needs of Hong Kong people and make good use of technology to enhance the living environment and quality of the public
施政報告亦提到政府計劃增撥5億元，進一步推動各部門利用科技，為市民提供更好的服務。
It is also mentioned in the Policy Address that the Government plans to allocate an additional 500 million to further promoting the use of technology by various departments to deliver better services to the public
今天楊局長亦在席，我也想討論推動本港電子競技發展。
Secretary Nicholas YANG is also present today . I would also like to discuss the initiative of promoting e - sports in Hong Kong
今年的施政報告再次提出推動本港電競發展。
In the Policy Address this year this initiative of promoting e - sports in Hong Kong is put forward once again
我樂見政府接納我和遊戲業界的建議，正視電競發展的潛力，撥出1億元推動電競產業的發展，由數碼港提供場地和支援人手培訓。
I am happy to see that the Government has accepted the recommendations of mine and the game industry and attached importance to the development potential of e - sports . It has allocated 100 million to promotion of development of the e - sports industry . In addition the Cyberport will provide a competition venue for e - sports and support talent nurturing
我希望政府能夠就撥款的運用多諮詢業界的意見，讓更多業內人士受惠。
I hope the Government will consult the sector more on the use of the funds and enable more people in the industry to benefit
其實，我和業界人士一直向政府爭取資源，要求當局制訂配合香港遊戲及電競產業發展的政策和措施，從融資、人才培訓、產品開發、市場推廣、銷售等各方面提供適切援助，全面推動遊戲及電競產業的發展。
In fact the industry and I have been fighting for resources from the Government and requesting the Administration to formulate policies and measures to cope with the development of the game and e - sports industry in Hong Kong and to provide appropriate assistance in such aspects as financing talent training product development marketing and sales so as to promote e - sports development in a comprehensive manner . It is a good thing that the Government is willing to commit more resources to innovation and technology IT
政府願意投入推動創科發展固然是好事，但推出的措施及計劃，例如不同創科基金及向科學園及數碼港撥款資助初創企業，均沿用舊有模式，未有回應業界對過往措施的反饋意見，包括創科基金申請手續繁複、門檻過高和審批準則苛刻，導致獲批資助的公司數目偏少。
However the measures and programmes implemented by it such as the funding of projects under the Innovation and Technology Fund ITF and the funding support to start - ups in the Hong Kong Science Park and the Cyberport are still old - fashioned without responding to the feedback from the industry on past measures . The sector reflected that the application procedures of ITF were complicated the threshold was too high and the criteria for approval were very strict . As a result only a few companies could see their applications approved
基金因而未能夠發揮最大效用，讓更多本地中小型創科企業受惠。
Because of this ITF has failed to achieve the best results to let more local SMEs and start - ups in the IT industry benefit
我希望政府能加大力度扶植本地創科企業，除了提供資金之外，亦提供平台，讓它們把科研成果產業化，推動產業持續發展，並加快檢討現有法規，修訂或刪去窒礙創科發展、不合時宜的條文，以締造良好的創科文化氛圍。
I hope that the Government can step up efforts to support local IT enterprises . Apart from providing funds a platform should be established to enable these IT start - ups to commercialize their scientific research results with a view to fostering the sustainable development of the industry . The Government should also expedite its review of the existing regulations so as to amend or remove outdated provisions that impede the development of IT and to create a favourable IT environment
代理主席，今年施政報告的內容非常豐富，單單新措施已有數十項，所以我對今次的施政報告表示大力支持。
Deputy President the Policy Address this year is rich in content evidenced by the very fact that dozens of new initiatives have been proposed . I therefore wish to state my strong support for this Policy Address
施政報告以"堅定前行燃點希望"為題，究竟香港如何才算是有希望呢？
The Policy Address is titled Striving Ahead Rekindling Hope . What hope is there for Hong Kong?
我相信特首這份施政報告真的為我們帶來了一些新希望。
I believe this Policy Address of the Chief Executive has really brought us some new hope
因此，雖然我們也要聆聽反對意見，但必須擇善固執、有所作為，才能令香港有希望。
Hence while we should listen to opposing views we must insist on doing the right thing and make a difference . Only then can there be hope for Hong Kong
這個環節的主題是"多元經濟"，我想就香港的土地發展和特首提出的"明日大嶼"等表達一些看法。
The theme of this session is Diversified Economy . I wish to express some views on the land development of Hong Kong Lantau Tomorrow proposed by the Chief Executive etc
香港是全球男女最長壽的地區，加上自然人口增長及近年中港婚姻越見普遍，為家庭團聚來港的新移民令困擾香港數十年的土地短缺問題更為嚴重。
Hong Kongs men and women enjoy the longest life expectancy in the world . In addition to natural population growth and the increasing prevalence of marriages between Mainlanders and Hong Kong residents in recent years new arrivals coming to Hong Kong for family reunion have aggravated the problem of land shortage that has been plaguing Hong Kong for decades
面對即時和將來可見的土地不足問題，政府提出在交椅洲附近水域填海，即所謂"明日大嶼"，在該處興建人工島，一次過進行大面積造地。
Facing the imminent and foreseeable shortage of land the Government has proposed the creation of artificial islands by reclamation in the waters off Kau Yi Chau ie . the programme named Lantau Tomorrow so as to produce a large area of land in one go
這不但可以解決市民的居住問題，亦能為市民提供更多新工作機會，而透過與大灣區經濟融合，香港亦能獲得經濟發展的新機遇。
It can not only address peoples housing problems but also bring them more job opportunities . And through economic integration with the Greater Bay Area Hong Kong will also be presented with new opportunities of economic development
在港英年代，政府為了配合人口增長及因應土地不足的問題，在香港造地填海，發展新市鎮，香港東南西北各方包括荃灣、沙田、大埔、屯門和將軍澳等數個大型 新市鎮均從填海所得。
In the British - Hong Kong era to cope with population growth and in response to the problem of land shortage the Government carried out reclamation of land and development of new towns in Hong Kong . The several large new towns in the East South West and North of Hong Kong including Tsuen Wan Sha Tin Tai Po Tuen Mun and Tseung Kwan O were developed through reclamation
民主建港協進聯盟一直倡議以多管齊下的方式拓展土地，以解決長期困擾香港的土地、房屋和經濟問題。
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB has been advocating a multi - pronged land development approach to address the land housing and economic problems that have been plaguing Hong Kong for a long time
我認為適度填海的方案較其他方案可取，而剷平現有高爾夫球場是一種短視行為。
I consider reclamation on an appropriate scale a better option than others whereas bulldozing the existing golf course level is short - sighted . Situated at prime locations the racecourses also cover a vast area
馬場亦佔地甚廣，更位處黃金地段，難道我們又要將其收回建屋嗎？
Should we then also resume them for housing development?
至於棕地和農地，由於香港的土地資源十分寶貴，故閒置的土地不多。
As for brownfield and agricultural sites given that land resources are very precious in Hong Kong there is barely any land left idle
除非發展商將相關土地收回以待發展，否則當中大部分均為物流業和回收業所用。
Most of the sites except those acquired and held by developers for eventual development are used by the logistics and recycling industries
回收這些私人土地涉及業界的生計、安置及補償問題，而他們同樣有不遷不拆的訴求。
Resumption of such private land involves the livelihood and rehousing of and compensation for those engaged in the industries and they also demand no relocation and no demolition
填海造地對現有土地規劃及現址附近居民影響最小。
Reclamation of land has minimal impact on the current land planning and residents in the vicinity of the existing sites
如果有人問填海造地對甚麼影響最大，就是靠海維生的漁民及海洋生態，所以政府必須認真聆聽本會何俊賢議員的意見。
If someone asks what will be most affected by reclamation the answer will be fishermen living on the sea and the marine ecology . For this reason the Government must listen carefully to the views of Mr Steven HO of this Council
代理主席，新界西北的人口將由2011年的110萬人上升至2031年的150萬人，增加40萬人。
Deputy President the population in Northwest New Territories will increase from 1.1 million people in 2011 to 1.5 million people by 2031 representing a growth of 400 000 people
其實過去數年，屯門和元朗的新盤一個接一個推出，區內人口已經上升。
In fact new flats in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long have been put on sale one after another over the past few years leading to population growth in both districts
現時在繁忙時段乘搭西鐵，錦上路站和荃灣西站也難以上車，加上規劃中的洪水橋、元朗南及錦田南的新發展，令新增的交通問題迫在眉睫。
At present passengers have difficulties boarding trains on the West Rail Line at both Kam Sheung Road Station and Tsuen Wan West Station during peak hours . This coupled with the new development in Hung Shui Kiu Yuen Long South and Kam Tin South under planning has made the problem of additional traffic load even more pressing
十一號幹線剛獲立法會撥款進行可行性研究，10年內肯定未能落成，故增建市區鐵路亦極為迫切。
Funding for a feasibility study on Route 11 has just been approved by the Legislative Council . As its construction will definitely not be completed in a decade building more urban railway lines is also a most urgent task
自政府的《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》提出在交椅洲附近水域填海建島後，民建聯提出應配合人工島建設一條由新界西北穿越人工島至港島西的鐵路。
Since the Government proposed in the Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 the creation of islands by reclamation in the waters near Kau Yi Chau DAB has been calling for the construction of to tie in with the creation of artificial islands a railway connecting Northwest New Territories and Hong Kong Island West via such islands
今次特首在施政報告公布"明日大嶼"的願景，終於清楚落實和交代這條由新界西北至港島西的西部海岸鐵路和運輸走廊。
Announcing the vision of Lantau Tomorrow in the Policy Address this time around the Chief Executive has eventually given a clear account of the implementation of the Western Coastal Rail Link and Corridor connecting Northwest New Territories and Hong Kong Island West
如要落實興建西部海岸鐵路和運輸走廊，人工島必不可少。
The creation of artificial islands is indispensable to implementing the construction of the Western Coastal Rail Link and Corridor
我希望政府能夠盡快展開前期工作，早一年開始便可早一年解決新界西北交通配套不足和居民就業的問題。
I hope the Government will commence the preliminary works as soon as possible . If the project can commence a year earlier the inadequacy of ancillary transport facilities in Northwest New Territories and residents employment issues can be addressed a year earlier
"明日大嶼"的願景非常宏大，除了接駁新界西北交通的人工島外，亦提出多項遠期交通連接計劃，當中包括貫穿大嶼山的道路和鐵路。
Shaped by a grand vision Lantau Tomorrow has proposed in addition to the artificial islands connecting to the transport network of Northwest New Territories a number of long - term transport connectivity plans which include roads and railways running through Lantau
大嶼山居民20多年來爭取興建南北通道，希望建設道路和鐵路，建成由喜靈洲穿越梅窩和大嶼南至東涌的連接走廊，因為這將有助梅窩和大嶼南的旅遊業發展。
For some 20 years Lantau residents have been fighting for a north - south link with the construction of roads and railways so that a road link connecting Hei Ling Chau and Tung Chung via Mui Wo and South Lantau may be built as it will boost the tourism development of Mui Wo and South Lantau
因此，如果這條連接走廊得以落實興建，將可令梅窩和離島居民受惠。
Hence if the construction of this road link can be taken forward it will benefit residents of Mui Wo and the outlying islands
至於將被人工島包圍的坪洲，在願景計劃中則暫時未有任何着墨，但人工島的出現必然會對鄰近的坪洲有所影響。
As for Peng Chau which will find itself surrounded by the artificial islands it is nowhere to be seen in the vision programme for the time being . But the creation of such artificial islands will definitely have some impact on the neighbouring Peng Chau
究竟坪洲會否一併發展，令這個小島有更多就業機會，提升其經濟發展能力呢？
Will the development of Peng Chau proceed concurrently so as to bring more employment opportunities to this small island and boost its capability of economic development?
還是會令它變成被遺棄的小島呢？
Or will this small island become abandoned?
政府必須盡快交代有關詳情。
The Government must expeditiously present the relevant details
社會對"明日大嶼"計劃確實有不少爭議和意見，政府必須多交代當中細節，釋除各方疑慮，讓市民了解填海為香港帶來的得與失，掌握全局。
There have indeed been lots of controversies and views surrounding the Lantau Tomorrow programme in the community . The Government must present more details to allay concerns from all sides thereby enabling members of the public to get the whole picture seeing the good and bad of reclamation for Hong Kong
在經濟發展方面，我認為還有另一點會影響香港的整體經濟。
On economic development I think there is also one thing that has implications on the economy of Hong Kong overall
這些新增人手無疑能提高服務質素，令幼兒獲得更佳照顧。
Such additional manpower can undoubtedly raise service quality so that children will be better taken care of
但大家也知道，這項增加人手比例的改善措施只是回到1976年的水平。
However we are aware that such an enhancement measure to increase the manning ratios has brought us back to the 1976 level only
我早前曾會見一些社福團體，他們亦指出香港幼兒服務的人手比例不但倒退，更大大落後於其他海外地方。
I met with some social welfare organizations earlier and they also pointed out that the manning ratios for child care services in Hong Kong was not only regressing but also lagging far behind other overseas places
以亞洲區為例，即使香港將0至2歲以下幼兒的照顧人手比例優化為1：6，仍落後於南韓的1：3和新加坡的1：5。
Take the Asian region as an example . Even if the manning ratio for care services for children aged 0 to under 2 is enhanced to 1col6 in Hong Kong it still lags behind the ratio of 1col3 in South Korea and the ratio of 1col5 in Singapore
因此，我十分贊同團體的建議，將照顧幼兒的比例下調，使照顧者可更專注，否則要1名照顧員照顧6至8名同齡幼兒，服務質素將難以改善。
For this reason I eagerly support the proposal of the organizations for bringing down the manning ratios for child care services so that carers can be more focused . Otherwise the service quality can hardly be improved with one carer having to take care of 6 to 8 children of the same age
政府應按幼兒的月齡需要提供不同階段的人手比例，例如參考南韓的做法，將0至2歲以下幼兒的照顧人手比例設為1：3，1至2歲幼兒的照顧人手比例設為1：4，而較年長的2至3歲幼兒的照顧人手比例則可設為1：8。
The Government should set out the staffing ratios for various stages to cater for the needs of children at different months of age such as by drawing reference from the practice of South Korea to set the staffing ratio for care services for children aged 0 to under 2 at 1col3 children aged 1 to 2 at 1col4 and older children aged 2 to 3 at 1col8
與此同時，當局須按此標準作出長遠的培訓規劃，按擬定的時間表提供足夠幼兒照顧人手。
Meanwhile the authorities must draw up long - term training programmes accordingly and provide adequate child care manpower in accordance with the proposed schedule
如果在職父母因要照顧子女而無法外出工作，香港經濟將受到莫大影響。
If working parents are no longer able to go out to work as they have to take care of their children Hong Kong economy will be significantly affected
因此，我認為將幼兒中心的工作做好是促進香港經濟不斷發展的一項重要措施。
Hence I consider the effective delivery of services by child care centres a vital measure for the promotion of continuous economic development of Hong Kong
此外，我亦注意到除增加人手比例外，亦有需要物色設立幼兒中心的地方。
Furthermore apart from increasing the manning ratios I am also aware of the need to identify locations for setting up child care centres
其實"明日大嶼"正是我們最佳的覓地方法，但偏偏有人說這是"倒錢落海"，令我們這些想做更多事情支援香港未來發展的人非常痛心。
In fact Lantau Tomorrow is precisely the best approach for us to acquire land yet it is criticized by some as dumping money into the sea much to the anguish of us who wish to do more to support the future development of Hong Kong
最近我亦與一些中國人民政治協商會議全國委員會委員參觀河北雄安新區的發展，該城市未來的發展計劃有3點值得我們參考： 第一，雄安新區將會成為一個無污染地區，與現時普遍帶有"城市病"的城市截然不同。
Recently I have visited Xiongan New Area in Hebei with some members of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference . There are three points in the future development plan of the city which merit our consideration First Xiongan New Area will become a pollution - free area which is vastly different from those cities commonly affected by urban diseases nowadays
該區將消除"城市病"，既無污染，亦無交通擠塞，而且有便捷的交通直達城市任何角落，亦有市民共享的生活圈，所以我們認為可供"明日大嶼"參考。
With the elimination of urban diseases the area will be free of pollution or traffic congestion with an efficient transport network that makes every corner of the city directly accessible and a living sphere shared by members of the public . That is why we consider that it may serve as reference for Lantau Tomorrow
第二，我們應有真正的願景，知道這個城市未來能提供非常理想的居住環境。
Second we should have a genuine vision knowing that the city will offer an ideal living environment in the future
我認為政府目前仍要多做介紹和解釋的工作，令更多市民認識這個未來的新型城市。
At present I consider it necessary for the Government to present more details and do more explaining so as to make this future new city more widely known to the public
主席，我謹以內務委員會主席的身份，根據立法會《議事規則》的規定和傳統做法，動議"本會感謝行政長官發表施政報告"的議案。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the House Committee I move the motion That this Council thanks the Chief Executive for her Address in accordance with the traditional practice and the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council . The Motion of Thanks does not take any direction
這項議案並無方向性，只是讓立法會行使《基本法》所列明"聽取行政長官的施政報告並進行辯論"的職權。
It is intended only for the Legislative Council to exercise the power to receive and debate the policy addresses of the Chief Executive as stipulated in the Basic Law
施政報告是行政長官闡述未來1年政府施政重點的重要文件。
The Policy Address is an important document for the Chief Executive to explain the Governments key initiatives of administration in the coming year
市民普遍對施政報告充滿期望，特別希望政府可以處理土地和房屋等急切的社會和民生問題。
The public in general has high expectations on the Policy Address . In particular they hope that the Government can deal with pressing social and livelihood issues such as land and housing
剛發表的施政報告是行政長官任內的第二份施政報告，詳細交代政府在各政策範疇的願景和措施，充分反映今屆政府在處理社會和民生問題上，特別是在土地和房屋方面的決心。
The Policy Address just presented is the second Policy Address of the Chief Executive . It gives a detailed account of the Governments vision and initiatives in various policy areas . It fully reflects the determination of the current - term Government in handling social and livelihood issues especially in respect of land and housing
作為內務委員會主席，我當然非常關心行政立法關係。
As Chairman of the House Committee certainly I am very much concerned about the relationship between the executive and the legislature
我十分高興看到行政長官一如既往，在今年的施政報告中，強調特區政府尊重立法會制衡行政機關的功能。
I am very pleased to see that the Chief Executive as in the past stressed in this Policy Address that the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR respects the function of the Legislative Council to exercise checks and balances on the executive authorities
行政長官並且以身作則，自上個立法年度開始，除行政長官答問會外，多次出席行政長官質詢時間，就社會關心的不同議題直接回答議員的質詢。
The Chief Executive has also set an example . Since the last legislative year she has been attending numerous Chief Executives Question Times in addition to the Chief Executives Question and Answer QA Sessions to directly answered Members questions on different issues of concern to the community
我期望各位司長和局長亦可以多出席立法會會議，以及立法會其他委員會會議，與議員互相溝通，加強政府的問責。
I hope that Secretaries of Departments and Directors of Bureaux can also attend more Legislative Council meetings and other committee meetings of the Legislative Council to communicate with Members and enhance the Governments accountability
