主席，首先我非常感謝19位議員發表意見，為辯論增添很多思考的空間，我亦尊重局長的回應。
President first of all I thank 19 Members very much for their opinions which provide more room for reflection in this motion debate and I respect the reply given by the Secretary
現在是一個改革的年代，亦是一個良政善治的年代。
This is an age of reform and an age of good governance now
我相信未來有意參與管治或參選行政長官的人才，以至整個社會，必定會繼續思考如何改革高官問責制，讓香港可以實現良政善治。
I believe that talents who intend to participate in governance or the Chief Executive election in the future as well as the whole community will continue to ponder how to reform the accountability system for senior officials so that Hong Kong can realize good governance
懇請各位支持我的議案。
I implore you all to support my motion
謝謝大家。
Thank you
代理主席，就局長剛才的回應，我可真的完全......我同意《汞管制條例草案》於普遍市民而言，其實沒有太大影響。
Deputy President regarding the Secretarys response given just now I am indeed totally I agree that the Mercury Control Bill the Bill will not have much impact on the general public
《條例草案》附表2載列了受規管製造工序所使用的催化劑。
Schedule 2 of the Bill sets out the catalysts used in regulated manufacturing processes
不過，我本人不是理科出身，對於當中的一些內容不甚理解，只知道那些催化劑必然是一些舊式實驗室在使用機器的過程中會涉及的東西。
Yet not being a science guy I do not quite understand such contents and only know that those catalysts must be something involved in the use of machinery by some old - fashioned laboratories
今年，當這項法案獲得通過時，有關這段歷史的電影便會上畫。
This year a film depicting this part of history will be released by the time the Bill is passed
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《汞管制條例草案》予以三讀並通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Mercury Control Bill be read the Third time and do pass
姚思榮議員動議的"支援受疫情影響的特困行業"議案。
Mr YIU Si - wing will move a motion on Providing support for hard - hit industries affected by the epidemic
稍後我會先請姚思榮議員發言及動議議案，然後請易志明議員發言，但他在現階段不可動議修正案。
Later I will first call upon Mr YIU Si - wing to speak and move the motion . Then I will call upon Mr Frankie YICK to speak but he may not move the amendment at this stage
合併辯論現在開始，請有意發言的議員盡快按"要求發言"按鈕。
The joint debate now begins . Members who wish to speak please press the Request to speak button
我現在請姚思榮議員發言及動議議案。
I now call upon Mr YIU Si - wing to speak and move the motion
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：講稿附錄所載沒有修正案的條文納入本條例草案。
I now put the question to you and that is That the clauses with no amendment as set out in the Appendix to the Script stand part of the Bill
新冠病毒病疫情沉重打擊香港醫療系統、影響民生，為了控制疫情，政府實施限聚令及對抵港人士作出隔離檢疫安排，導致消費力減退，入、出境旅客出現斷崖式下滑，而香港的服務業明顯下跌。
The COVID - 19 epidemic has dealt a severe blow to Hong Kongs healthcare system and affected peoples livelihood . In order to control the epidemic the Government has implemented the No - gathering Order and quarantine measures for people arriving in Hong Kong resulting in a decline in spending power a sharp fall in inbound and outbound visitors and a significant drop in Hong Kongs service industry
為此，政府推出了一連串支援措施，包括為防疫抗疫基金撥款，推出"保就業"計劃，資助受疫情影響的僱主、僱員，避免出現倒閉潮及裁員潮。
In response the Government has introduced a series of support measures including allocating funding for the Anti - epidemic Fund and launching the Employment Support Scheme so as to provide assistance for employers and employees affected by the epidemic and prevent a wave of business closures and layoffs
隨着疫情開始受控，大部分營業處所重開，本地消費逐步恢復，政府的措施初見成效，近月香港整體的失業率明顯得到改善。
With the epidemic under control most business premises have reopened and local consumption has gradually picked up . The Governments measures have begun to bear fruit with the overall unemployment rate in Hong Kong improving significantly in recent months
根據政府統計處上周發表的最新勞動人口統計數字，香港整體失業率下降至6%，反映不少行業開始復蘇，但與消費及旅遊業相關的行業失業率卻仍高達9.4%。
According to the latest labour force statistics released by the Census and Statistics Department last week the overall unemployment rate in Hong Kong dropped to 6 % reflecting the budding recovery in many sectors but the unemployment rate of the consumption - and tourism - related sectors was still as high as 9.4 %
從各項數據顯示，傳統的四大支柱產業中，復蘇主要反映在金融服務、貿易及物流、專業及工商業支援服務等相關行業，而另一條支 柱的旅遊業及其相關行業卻斯人獨憔悴，在復業無期下奄奄一息。
The various figures show that of the traditional four pillar industries the recovery is mainly seen in financial services trading and logistics and professional and producer services while the other pillar tourism and related sectors is left alone in distress and dying without knowing when business can be resumed
香港旅遊業在2018年高峰時期，貢獻了本地生產總值4.5%，就業人數超過25萬。
At its peak in 2018 Hong Kongs tourism industry contributed to 4.5 % of its GDP and employed more than 250 000 people
2019年下半年受到"黑暴"影響，旅遊業尤其是入境旅遊出現明顯收縮，就業人數較2018年下跌10%至23萬人，對本地生產總值的貢獻降至3.6%。
In the second half of 2019 due to black - clad violence tourism especially inbound tourism contracted significantly with employment falling by 10 % from the figure in 2018 to 230 000 and its contribution to GDP dropping to 3.6 %
本來寄望2020年可以復蘇，可惜禍不單行，去年1月底開始香港受內地疫情影響，逐步實施封關，至今已經接近1年半，入、出境旅遊收入大跌超過九成以上，雖然未有確實公布的失業數字，估計目前的失業率肯定遠超其他行業。
It was hoped that the industry would recover in 2020 but unfortunately starting from the end of January last year Hong Kong has been affected by the epidemic on the Mainland and the closure of border checkpoints being implemented gradually . Almost one and a half years have passed since then and our inbound and outbound tourism revenues have plummeted by more than 90 % . Although no exact unemployment figures are available it is estimated that the current unemployment rate concerned is definitely much higher than that of other industries
整整兩年了，旅遊業受打擊程度可想而知。
It has been a good two years and you can imagine how heavy the blow to the tourism industry is
主席，雖然政府推出多輪惠及旅遊業的支援措施，然而，在病毒不斷出現變種、各地疫情反覆多變，至今通關無期的情況下，旅遊業仍然看不到復蘇的希望。
President although the Government has launched several rounds of support measures that benefit the tourism industry there is still no hope for the industry to recover in the face of the continuous mutation of the virus the volatility of the epidemic situation in various places and no definitive date for the resumption of cross - border travel
目前，已有不少旅行社大幅裁員、放無薪假，甚至選擇倒閉，自由工作者更是一段相當長的時間零收入。
Currently many travel agencies have laid off a lot of their staff requested them to take unpaid leave or even chosen to close down and freelancers have been incomeless for a long time
最近，為幫助旅遊從業員，政府將24間社區疫苗接種中心的1,700多個管理短期工作崗位，外判予旅遊業界，短短幾天，有超過1萬人應徵，可見旅遊界失業的嚴重程度。
Recently in order to help tourism industry members the Government outsourced more than 1 700 short - term management jobs in 24 community vaccination centres to the tourism industry and in just a few days more than 10 000 people applied . We can thus see the seriousness of unemployment in the tourism industry
事實上，獲得臨時工作的只是少數，不少長時間失業的從業員已等不及，只有選擇轉行。
In fact only a small number of people have been offered temporary jobs and many of those who have been unemployed for a long time can wait no more and have no choice but to switch to other trades
主席，即使有望恢復通關，亦有不少不確定因素，從最近新加坡"旅遊氣泡"一波三折、澳門政府從開始要求14天"清零"改為28天"清零"，可見恢復正常通關的複雜性。
President even if cross - border travel is expected to resume there are still many uncertainties as evidenced by the recent twists and turns of the travel bubble with Singapore and the change of the requirement of the Macao Government from zero infections for 14 days to zero infections for 28 days . We can thus see the complexity of resuming normal cross - border travel
旅遊業一直為香港經濟作出不少貢獻，除帶動零售、飲食、交通、物流、會議展覽等行業之外，還為大量基層市民提供工作崗位。
The tourism industry has always contributed to the economy of Hong Kong . Not only does it drive the retail catering transportation logistics convention and exhibition industries but it also provides jobs for a large number of grassroots people
作為四大經濟支柱的旅遊業，現在卻落得如此地步，政府有需要擔負起行業救亡的責任，如果不再伸出援手，難免一沉不起，從而拖慢香港經濟復蘇的步伐。
As one of the four pillars of the economy the tourism industry is now in such a state that the Government has to take up the responsibility of saving the industry . If the Government still refuses to lend a helping hand the industry will inevitably be declining thus slowing down the pace of Hong Kongs economic recovery
近數個月，我跟部分議員一再要求政府對特困行業推出有針對性的支援措施，但政府一直拖延，無視業界長時間面對經營上的壓力。
In recent months some Members and I have repeatedly requested the Government to introduce targeted support measures for hard - hit industries but the Government has been dragging its feet ignoring the long - standing pressure on the operation of the industries
所以，我提出這項議案的目的，是希望政府正視現實，根據特困行業受困的程度，再增撥資源，幫助特困行業渡過難關，亦為未來旅遊業復蘇做好準備。
Therefore I have proposed my motion for the purpose of urging the Government to face up to the reality and according to the extent to which the industries have been hit allocate more resources to help hard - hit industries to tide over their difficulties and prepare for the coming recovery of the tourism industry
為達致適切的支援效果，我有以下數項建議。
In order to achieve the desired effect of providing support I have the following suggestions
首先，政府應該對特困行業作出一個定義。
First the Government should define hard - hit industry
既然是特困行業，可以理解為過去1年受疫情影響，收入最少下滑超過五成，而未來數個月仍然看不到業務回復到以往五成的可能。
A hard - hit industry can be understood as an industry whose revenue has dropped by at least 50 % in the past year due to the epidemic and there is no chance that business will return to 50 % of its previous level in the next few months
環顧與旅遊相關的行業，大部分也符合我假設的定義，不少公司下跌幅度其實遠超五成，肯定是特困行業。
As we can see most tourism - related industries fall under my hypothetical definition and the revenue of many companies especially travel agencies have actually fallen by far more than 50 %
其次，政府應該支援對香港有重大貢獻而復業有困難的特困行業。
These are definitely hard - hit industries . Second the Government should support hard - hit industries that have made significant contributions to Hong Kong but are having difficulties in resuming business
早前政府曾經先後撥款支持國泰航空和香港海洋公園，也是基於以上原則，但相比跨境水陸客運交通則有明顯的不公。
The Government earlier allocated funds to support Cathay Pacific and Ocean Park Hong Kong on the basis of the above principle as well but in comparison this is grossly unfair when it comes to cross - border land and sea passenger transport
據統計，疫情前每年約有3億人次通過不同渠道進出香港，其中有三分之一是通過跨境巴士和渡輪；由此可見，跨境客運業對香港的經濟、民生、就業，以及國際形象作出了不可以替代的貢獻。
According to statistics about 300 million passenger trips were made to and from Hong Kong each year through various channels before the epidemic with one third of them being made via cross - border buses and ferries . It is thus clear that the cross - border passenger transport industry has made irreplaceable contributions to Hong Kongs economy livelihood employment and international image . Cross - border passenger transport has been suspended for almost a year and a half
跨境客運已經停擺接近1年半，其間除了保就業之外，政府只是對每輛跨境巴士、跨境出租汽車、跨境渡輪作出不同程度的補貼，以及對每名本地跨境巴士司機資助23,400元，但補貼的數目與行業所承受的衝擊完全不成比例，本地的旅遊巴和航空業亦面對類似的問題，只是程度不同而已。
During this period apart from safeguarding jobs the Government has only provided varying degrees of subsidies to each cross - boundary coach cross - boundary hire car and cross - boundary ferry and each local cross - boundary coach driver can receive 23,400 . However the amount of subsidy is totally disproportionate to the impact on the industry . The local coach and airline industries are also facing similar problems only to a different extent
目前這些行業的經營者不少已經山窮水盡，亟待政府再度伸出援手。
Many operators in these industries are now at the end of their resources and are in desperate need of another round of government assistance
即使未來復蘇有望，復業前，這部分的運輸業界仍需要承擔維修保養、消毒設施、重聘人手等一大筆開支，需要政府提供復業的啟動基金；如果得不到適切支援，部分的航線難免萎縮，影響旅遊業復蘇的進度。
Even if a recovery is on the horizon these operators of the transport industry still need to bear heavy expenses such as repair and maintenance disinfection of facilities re - employment of staff etc . before the resumption of business and the Government needs to provide a start - up fund for the resumption of business . Without proper support some of the routes will inevitably shrink and affect the progress of recovery of the tourism industry
最後，政府應該根據上述評估，對特困行業提供合適的支援。
Finally the Government should provide appropriate support to hard - hit industries based on the above assessment
政府經過兩輪的保就業扶助措施，已經掌握相當數據，完全有能力製訂新一輪有針對性的支援特困行業的計劃。
After two rounds of measures to support employment the Government has already obtained considerable data and is fully capable of formulating a new round of targeted support schemes for hard - hit industries
不少業界反映，去年保就業的做法，能有效支持特困行業及其員工，有助行業渡過難關，希望政府積極考慮。
Many operators of the industries have reflected that the approach of supporting employment last year could effectively support hard - hit industries and their employees and help them tide over the difficulties . I hope that the Government will give active consideration to this
主席，除了提供支援之外，業界最希望政府控制好疫情，並以積極的態度，爭取早日與內地、澳門及海外通關。
President apart from providing support the industry hopes that the Government can put the epidemic under control and adopt a pro - active attitude in striving for early resumption of cross - border travel with the Mainland Macao and overseas jurisdictions
只有恢復通關，才能夠真正解決香港的經濟及旅遊業的問題。
Only when cross - border travel is resumed can problems with the economy and the tourism industry of Hong Kong be truly solved
主席，據悉，教育局在調查針對教師的投訴後，發現有教師使用內容偏頗的教材，向學生灌輸歪曲的概念，挑起學生對國家的反感。
President it is learnt that the Education Bureau EDB after investigating complaints against teachers found that some teachers had used teaching materials with biased contents to impart twisted concepts to students and arouse students hostility towards the nation
教育局表示，會在教師的職前和在職培訓中，加強價值觀教育、教師專業操守、《憲法》、《基本法》和國安教育的內容。
EDB has indicated that it will strengthen in the pre - service and in - service teacher training the contents on values education teachers professional conduct the Constitution the Basic Law and national security education
局長可否將相關課程納入培訓中，而不是限於那3類教師才可以接受這些課程？
Can the Secretary incorporate the related programmes into the training for teachers in general without restricting to only three types of teachers?
主席，我留意到政府在答覆張宇人議員的質詢中，表示就那些被教育局譴責或警告的教師，學校應該鼓勵他們接受培訓，或政府鼓勵他們接受培訓；而鼓勵的意思是並非強制，他們可以接受培訓，也可以不接受培訓。
President I notice that in the reply to Mr Tommy CHEUNGs question the Government says that as regards those teachers who have been reprimanded or warned by EDB they should be encouraged by the schools or by the Government to attend training . By encouraging them it means that this is not compulsory and they can choose whether to receive such training or not
我想問局長會否考慮建立一個制度，對於受到譴責或警告的教師，要強制他們參加這些培訓課程，根據他們的不同過失，必須參加不同的相關課程，以作為補救或懲處的措施？
I would like to ask the Secretary whether he will consider setting up a system under which those teachers who have been reprimanded or warned must attend such training programmes or attend different programmes according to the nature of their wrongdoings as a remedial or punitive measure
主席，我十分支持教育局在教師的職前和在職培訓中加強價值觀的教育、老師的專業操守、《憲法》、《基本法》及《香港國安法》教育的內容，我希望教育局應該認真執行，不要以"為培訓而培訓"這種態度來做，否則即使投入更多人力資源，也不能夠提升香港的教育水準。
President I fully support EDB in strengthening in the pre - service and in - service teacher training the contents on values education teachers professional conduct the Constitution the Basic Law and the education of the National Security Law . I hope that EDB can seriously put that into practice and will not have the attitude of providing training for the sake of training . Otherwise despite the injection of more resources the education standard of Hong Kong can still be unable to be enhanced
主席，局長在主體答覆中很強調，被取消教師註冊的人士已經不是教師，已經接觸不到老師的培訓；相反，被譴責、警告或勸諭的老師則有機會接觸到度身訂造的培訓課程。
President in the main reply the Secretary has emphasized that de - registered teachers are no longer teachers and thus they are unable to receive training . On the contrary those teachers who have been reprimanded warned or advised can have the chance of receiving tailor - made training programmes
問題便出現，因為坊間對於這個培訓課程存疑，他們擔心出現一種情況，便是聽了卻不明白，明白了又不做，做了又沒有做足的問題。
Here comes the question because the public are sceptical about the training programmes . They are worried about a situation that the teachers still do not understand after attending the courses still do not translate their knowledge into action despite their understanding of the subject matters or still do not do sufficiently even though they have put their knowledge into practice
那麼，我想問局方，如果單靠學校進行觀課、檢視教材和提醒教師時刻注意言行，把責任全交給學校和校長的話，又如何確保教師除了不再傳播一些扭曲的價值觀和錯誤的觀念之外，可以產生一個作用，便是積極傳授一些正確和符合基本原則的教育呢？
In that case I would like to ask the Bureau a question . If it solely relies on the schools to observe the teaching in classes review the teaching materials and remind teachers to be mindful of their words and conduct leaving all responsibilities to schools and principals how can it ensure that the teachers instead of disseminating some distorted sense of values and incorrect concepts can have the function of imparting a kind of education with correct concepts and in line with basic principles?
主席，我首先感謝張宇人議員提出這個問題，其實我們看到政府的答覆後，感覺社會對於特區政府如何處理一些犯事的老師......
President first of all I have to thank Mr Tommy CHEUNG for raising this question
另外最重要的是，現時在教育界裏面，仍然有很多無感染症狀的政治病毒帶菌者，有很多人不認為自己做錯，還在裏面無意識地散播這些病毒。
Besides the most important point is that in the current education sector there are still a lot of asymptomatic carriers of political virus . Many people do not think that they have done something wrong and are still spreading the virus inadvertently within the sector
我亦衷心感謝剛才幾位發言議員的支持及意見。
I am also grateful to the Members who have just spoken for their support and views
政府一直不遺餘力推動"智慧出行"，制訂適合香港的整體策略，有序地落實各項"智慧出行"措施，例如自動駕駛車輛、全新版"香港出行易"、公共交通數據、新一代停車收費錶及自動泊車系統等。
The Government has been sparing no effort to promote Smart Mobility by formulating an overall strategy suitable for Hong Kong and implementing various Smart Mobility initiatives such as autonomous vehicles a new version of the HKeMobility mobile application public transport data new - generation parking meters and pilot projects on automated parking systems in an orderly manner
科技發展日新月異，應用創新科技亦便利市民生活。
With the rapid technological advancement the application of innovative technologies will also bring convenience to peoples lives
政府的政策大方向是要把香港構建成為一個世界級的智慧城市，當中推行不停車繳費系統正正就是《香港智慧城市藍圖2.0》中一項主要的"智慧出行"措施。
So the Governments key policy direction is to build Hong Kong into a world - class smart city and the free - flow tolling system FFTS is one of the very major Smart Mobility initiatives set out in the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong 2.0
不停車繳費系統利用科技，讓駕駛人士可以透過無線射頻識別技術，輕鬆地以繳費貼遙距繳付隧道費。
FFTS makes use of technology to enable motorists to pay tunnel tolls remotely through the Radio Frequency Identification technology with ease
推行系統後，我們亦可以拆除隧道的收費廣場，所騰出的空間可以用作其他與交通有關的用途，例如擴闊現有巴士站及改善候車區設施，以及加設巴士轉乘設施。
Upon implementation of FFTS we can demolish the toll plazas at the tunnels and the space freed up can be used for other transport - related purposes such as enlargement of the existing bus stops enhancement of the facilities at the waiting areas and setting up additional bus - bus interchange facilities
因此，不停車繳費系統不但便利駕駛人士，亦令其他出行的市民受惠。
Therefore FFTS not only will bring convenience to motorists but will also benefit the commuting public
《條例草案》旨在提供法律依據，以在政府收費隧道及青沙管制區推行不停車繳費系統。
The Bill seeks to provide for the legal backing for the implementation of FFTS at government tolled tunnels and Tsing Sha Control Area TSCA
在法案委員會審議《條例草案》的過程中，議員及業界團體普遍支持政府推行不停車繳費系統，亦就執行細節表達了寶貴的意見。
During the scrutiny of the Bill by the Bills Committee Members and organizations in the relevant trades generally supported the implementation of FFTS by the Government and expressed valuable views on the implementation details
我們聽到一些運輸業界的持份者，特別是租用商用車輛的車主和司機，關注繳交隧道費的寬限期只有7個營業日，不足以讓他們分拆及繳交隧道費。
We have listened to the concerns of some stakeholders of the transport trades especially the owners and rentee - drivers of commercial vehicles that the seven - business day grace period for tunnel toll payment is insufficient for them to split and pay the tolls
事實上，為方便這些商用車輛，包括的士、紅色小巴或貨車的車主及租用這些車輛的司機分拆隧道費，政府早前已清楚表明會推出行政措施和技術，包括向車主提供交易紀錄結單、透過流動應用程式以個別付款帳戶繳費，以及採用兩件式裝置，以便利這些車主及租車司機更靈活地按照他們的運作模式繳付隧道費。
Actually in order to facilitate the toll splitting among the owners and rentee - drivers of commercial vehicles which include taxis red minibuses and goods vehicles the Government has previously made it clear that it will introduce administrative measures and technologies including the provision of transaction statements to vehicle owners the mobile apps for the diversion of payment accounts and the adoption of two - piece device which will enable these vehicle owners and rentee - drivers to have more flexibility in making toll payment according to their operation mode
儘管有上述的措施，我們亦理解在實施不停車繳費系統後，相關業界不但在初期需要時間適應新系統的操作，往後亦可能需要處理分拆隧道費的工作。
Notwithstanding the above mentioned measures we understand that after the implementation of FFTS the relevant trades not only need time to adapt to the operation of the new system at the beginning but may also need to handle the work of toll splitting in the future
因此，在聽取業界及持份者的意見後，我們建議將繳付隧道費的寬限期，由7個營業日延長至14個營業日，讓業界有更充裕的時間作出繳費安排。
Therefore after listening to the views of the trades and the stakeholders we have proposed extending the grace period for toll payment from 7 to 14 business days so as to allow the trades more sufficient time to arrange for toll payment
就此，我會在稍後的全體委員會審議階段動議有關修正案，修訂《條例草案》的相關條文。
In this connection I will move the relevant amendments to amend the relevant clauses of the Bill at the committee of the whole Council later
《條例草案》獲通過後，政府會在《道路交通條例》下訂立一項新規例，以規管繳費貼的發出和使用。
Upon passage of the Bill the Government will make a new regulation under the Road Traffic Ordinance Cap . 374 to regulate the issue and use of toll tags
我們計劃在本立法年度內，向立法會提交新規例。
We plan to introduce the new regulation into the Legislative Council within this legislative session
相關政府部門亦正馬不停蹄進行各項籌備工作，以期在2022年年底起，陸續在各條政府收費隧道和青沙管制區推行不停車繳費系統。
Now the relevant government departments are carrying out various preparatory work incessantly with a view to gradually implementing FFTS at various government tolled tunnels and TSCA from late 2022 onwards
我們會在推行新系統前加強宣傳，以期令更多車主和司機了解不停車繳費系統和使用繳費貼的安排和好處。
We will step up our publicity efforts before the implementation of FFTS so as to enable more vehicle owners and drivers to have an understanding of the arrangements and benefits of FFTS and the use of toll tags
我們和議員一樣，十分關心可能因推行不停車繳費系統而受影響的現職員工。
We are as concerned as Members about the existing tunnel staff who may be affected by the implementation of FFTS
就此，運輸署一直與各隧道及青沙管制區的管理、營運和維修營辦商密切溝通，積極鼓勵營辦商協助他們所聘用的收費員及其他受影響的相關員工轉換合適的崗位，例如繼續向收費員提供培訓以至資助等，以協助收費員轉職成為營辦商所聘用的交通督導員，或安排員工轉職至營辦商或其母公司所經營的其他業務。
In this connection the Transport Department TD has all along maintained close liaison with the contractors responsible for the management operation and maintenance of the tunnels and TSCA and actively encouraged the Contractors to assist their toll collectors and other affected staff in taking up other suitable positions for instance by continuing to provide training and even subsidies to toll collectors for facilitating their transfer to become traffic officers employed by the Contractors or by arranging their staff to work in other businesses of the Contractors or their parent companies
此外，在推行不停車繳費系統時，新的隧道費服務商亦需要具豐富經驗的人員協助操作收費系統及處理相關工作。
In addition at the implementation of FFTS the new toll service provider will also require experienced personnel to assist in operating the tolling system and handling relevant tasks
我們會繼續與相關持份者溝通，亦會跟進有關工作。
We will continue to communicate with the stakeholders concerned and will also follow up on the relevant work
收取隧道費是其中一項有效的交通管理措施。
The collection of tunnel tolls is one of the effective traffic management measures
剛才亦有在座議員朋友提及免除隧道費，但我們要明白，豁免個別隧道收費只可在交通情況許可下實施，以免引發額外的交通流量，加劇現時的交通擠塞情況。
Just now some Members in the Chamber talked about waiving tunnel tolls but we have to understand that toll waiver for individual tunnels can only be implemented when the traffic conditions permit so as to avoid attracting additional traffic flow which will exacerbate the existing traffic congestion
在交通情況許可的情形下，本屆政府會設法減輕市民、公共交通營辦商及運輸業界使用政府收費隧道和管制區的開支。
When traffic conditions permit the Government of the current term will seek to reduce the expenses incurred by the public public transport operators and transport trades in using government tolled tunnels and Control Areas
在此原則下，屯門―赤鱲角隧道在2020年12月通車時，政府已豁免使用新隧道和青嶼幹線的收費；而當將軍澳―藍田隧道啟用時，新隧道和將軍澳隧道亦會豁免收費。
Under this principle when the Tuen Mun - Chek Lap Kok Tunnel was commissioned in December 2020 the Government waived the tolls of this new tunnel and the Lantau Link and upon the commissioning of Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel there will also be toll wavier for the new tunnel and the Tseung Kwan O Tunnel
