其實，香港需要一個具資源再分配、能夠透過公共方式由社會共同分擔風險的社會保險制度，保障不同市民，包括家庭照顧者、殘疾人士和零散工人的年老及退休生活。
In fact what Hong Kong needs is a social insurance system that enables risk sharing by the community and administration through a public scheme which serves the function of redistribution of resources thereby providing protection for old age and retirement to all members of the public including family carers people with disabilities and casual workers
另一方面，使用強積金權益購買醫療保險的建議，其實仍然未能回應現時基層市民退休保障不足的問題，更會令退休時的經濟保障減少。
On the other hand the proposal for using MPF accrued benefits to take out medical insurance is still unable to address the current issue of insufficient retirement protection for the grass roots . Instead it will reduce their financial security upon retirement
再者，醫療保險的管理費很高，私營醫療收費高昂而且不透明，如何確保退休保障不會被醫療保險蠶食，實在非常困難。
Furthermore the management fees of medical insurance are very expensive whereas the charges of private health care services are expensive and non - transparent . It is very difficult to ensure that our retirement protection will not be eroded by medical insurance
同時，這種活化方式仍然未能協助市民分擔病患的風險，仍然以個人負責制排斥沒有強積金戶口的市民，我認為這項建議並不可取。
Meanwhile this approach of revitalization still fails to help the public in terms of risk sharing in case of illnesses . Based on a personal responsibility system it still rejects members of the public who do not have MPF accounts . I hold that this proposal is undesirable
至於容許使用強積金權益作為首次置業的首期，代理主席，我亦有所保留。
Deputy President I also have reservations about the proposal of allowing employees to use MPF accrued benefits to pay the down payment of first - time home purchase
此舉一方面同樣削弱了僱員的退休保障，而且香港地產市場商品化的情況非常嚴重，把資金投入地產市場亦會繼續加劇房屋的商品化，令樓價更無法承擔。
For one thing this proposal also undermines the retirement protection of employees . And for another the commercialization of housing is very serious in Hong Kong . Investing money in the property market will continue to fuel the commercialization of housing resulting in aggravating further the unaffordability of property acquisition
再者，部分僱員的薪金低，強積金所能儲蓄的金額實在有限，在樓價飆升的情況下，用作首期根本只是杯水車薪。
Furthermore as the salary of some employees is low their contribution to MPF is very limited . Under the circumstances of soaring property prices the amount of MPF funds they use for down payment is just a drop in the bucket
讓更多夾心階層、沒有足夠負擔能力的市民置業，投資在地產市場，亦可能令他們未來的破產風險增加，這點必須三思。
This proposal for allowing more people of the sandwich class and those who do not have sufficient financial means for home acquisition to invest in the property market will also increase their risk of bankruptcy in the future . We must think twice about this
至於部分議員建議降低行政費的比例，我是贊同的。
As for the proposal of lowering the rate of administration fees I agree with this
然而，我必須強調，單單降低行政費的比率只能減痛，仍未能解決市民就退休保障所面對的問題。
However I must emphasize that the initiative of lowering the administration fees only is just a measure of relieving pain without resolving the problem of retirement protection faced by the public
我仍然會爭取全民退保，爭取一個社會共責、具風險分擔功能，以至促進資源再分配的退休保障制度。
I will continue to fight for universal retirement protection . I will fight for a retirement protection system which embodies the concept of responsibility shared by the community and the function of risk sharing and also facilitates the redistribution of resources
我支持全民退保。
I support universal retirement protection
主席，首先我要多謝鄭泳舜議員提出"增加過渡性房屋供應"這議案。
President first of all I wish to thank Mr Vincent CHENG for moving this Motion on Increasing transitional housing supply
原則上，我支持鄭泳舜議員的議案，但我仍要作出一些修訂，希望豐富議案的內容。
In principle I support this motion moved by Mr Vincent CHENG but still I have to make some amendments hoping to enrich the contents of the motion
我的修正案主要包括4個建議，我稍後會作詳細解釋，不過，在講解前，我想談談現時香港房屋政策的處境。
There are mainly four suggestions in my amendment . I will elaborate them in a minute . However before I do so I would like to say something about the current Hong Kong housing policy
簡單而言，現時過渡性房屋處於"三無"狀態：無政府主導落實的政策、無政策目標及規劃、無投放資源去支持。
In brief there are three nos in this transitional housing issue policy implementation not led by the Government no policy objectives and planning and no input of resources to support the issue
或許政府以為緣份到了，房屋問題便會解決。
Perhaps the Government thinks that when the time comes there will be a solution to the housing problem
數字從來不會說謊，香港房屋問題現時面對的處境是：公屋輪候時間維持在5.5年的歷史高位，申請宗數達267000，超過210,000人居於"劏房"，人均居住面積中位數為5.3平方米。對政府來說，這些可能是冷冰冰的數字，但它們其實是由一個又一個基層市民的艱苦生活堆砌而成。
Numbers do not lie . The housing problem faced by Hong Kong currently is like that the waiting time for public rental housing maintained at a historical high of 5.5 years the number of applications is 267 000 more than 210 000 people living in subdivided units the median per capita floor area of accommodation is 5.3 sq m These may be ice - cold figures to the Government but they are actually made up by the grass roots and everyone of them is leading a difficult life
當我們認真看這些數字時，便會像在剝洋蔥，眼淚不知不覺流出來。
When we look at these numbers seriously we will be like peeling onion and tears will flow out unconsciously
民間有民間提出過渡性房屋計劃，政府有政府繼續""着處理房屋問題。
While the community is putting forward transitional housing initiatives the Government is still taking its relaxed attitude in dealing with housing issues
有時我們罵一些人欠缺積極是"踢一踢，郁一郁"，但政府卻像是"踢一踢，都唔郁"。
Sometimes we blame some people who only make a move after being given a kick for being very passive and showing no zeal at all . However the Government actually does not make any move even when being given a kick
主席，我的修正案的主要內容是：第一，現時過渡性房屋政策四不像，說它是政策又不是，說它是措施也不像。
President the main contents of my amendment are First the present transitional housing policy is neither fish nor fowl; nor is it can be regarded as a policy or a measure
主席，首先在這裏感謝7位議員提出修正案，以及15位議員發言，亦希望不論是走着、站着、坐着的同事也能夠支持我提出的議案。
President to begin with I wish to take this opportunity to thank the seven Members for their amendments and also the 15 Members for their speeches . I also hope that Members whether they are now walking standing or sitting can support my motion
我認同同事的不同觀點，大部分很值得參考，與我原議案的內容沒有衝突。
I agree to Members various viewpoints . Most of the viewpoints can serve as a valuable source of reference and they are not in conflict with the contents of my original motion
正如我最初所說，我們要有"過渡性房屋基金"、有財政支援、有政策、有單位供應目標，才可以驅動過渡性房屋的供應。
As I said at the outset we can drive the supply of transitional housing only with a transitional housing fund financial support a policy and also a supply target for such units
我希望這是議會的共識，亦是參與籌辦過渡性房屋計劃的組織，以及居住在不適切住房如"劏房戶"的熱切期待。
I hope this is the legislatures consensus something keenly anticipated by the organizations participating in the coordination of transitional housing schemes and also those living in inadequate housing conditions such as subdivided units
至於有同事關注推動過渡性房屋可能影響公營房屋的供應，我想強調，我們現時建議的選址，都是政府的閒置用地、校舍、短期租約土地，或是由改裝現有房屋而來，相信不會影響公營房屋的供應。
As for some Members concern that the promotion of transitional housing may affect public housing supply I wish to stress that the sites in our present proposals are those idle government sites and school campuses together with lands under short - term tenancies . Or transitional housing can be provided by converting existing housing buildings . I do not believe public housing supply will thus be affected
我亦認同部分同事所說，要有流動性，希望增加居住在"劏房"的居民"上樓"的機會。
I also agree to some Members assertion that it is necessary to ensure a turnover of such units so as to increase the opportunity for receiving public housing allocation among those living in subdivided units
我衷心希望大家可以支持我的議案。
I sincerely hope that Members can support my motion
主席，首先感謝鄭泳舜議員提出"增加過渡性房屋供應"議案。
President first of all I am grateful to Mr Vincent CHENG for moving this motion on Increasing transitional housing supply
正如數位發言的同事所說，房屋問題，尤其是過渡性房屋， 我相信是較少爭議的議題，能獲立法會內跨黨派"同聲同氣"支持。
As Members have already spoken housing issue in particular transitional housing should be a less controversial issue that a consensus can be reached across the political spectrum in the Legislative Council
我希望正正因我們"同聲同氣"，可迫使政府就此多下工夫。
I hope that because we can reach a consensus on the motion we can force the Government to make greater efforts in this respect
"劏房"方面，根據政府的數據，大約有10萬戶，共21萬名市民，單是政府這項數字，未計及其他居住在不適切住房如工廈這些隱形數字，也有80萬名市民......
According to information released by the Government there are altogether 210 000 people in about 100 000 households living in subdivided units . Based on this government figure alone there are already 800 000 people . Yet the hidden numbers of people living in other inadequate conditions such as industrial buildings have not been counted
即是說香港最少有80萬名市民，更甚可能有約100萬名市民居住在惡劣環境中。
That means there are at least 800 000 people or even more than 1 million people living in very poor conditions in Hong Kong
政府無法向他們提供公營房屋，然後又表示2024年後公屋和居屋供應大落後，所有資助房屋供應均大大落後於需求，那麼為何政府不做一些工作。
The Government is not able to rehouse them in public housing . Then you said that after 2024 there will be a swing down of the supply of public rental housing and home ownership units with the supply of all subsidized housing lagging far behind the demand . Hence why does the Government not doing some work
當然我們可以說，過渡性房屋是今屆政府在2017年年底稍微可稱為願意做的工夫，不過我希望這工夫......
Undoubtedly we can say that transitional housing maybe something that the current - term Government was willing to do by the end of 2017
我知道陳帆局長未必想是做門面工夫，不過他的力度實在如蜻蜓點水。
Nonetheless I hope that this something I know that Secretary Frank CHAN may not want to do it just in the form of window dressing but he does work in a manner which is similar to a dragonfly skimming the water surface
綜合外國的案例，其實過渡性房屋有5個發展模式，其中包括，第一政府獨力覓地、興建及管理。
Overall speaking there are five different models for transitional housing development in foreign countries . First the Government alone takes up the responsibility to find land construct and manage the units
第二，政府覓地，負責興建，但交由志願機構管理。
Second the Government is responsible for finding the land and also building the transitional housing units while the voluntary agencies will operate for the Government
第三，政府覓地，交由志願機構負責興建、營運及管理。
Third the Government will get the land and voluntary agencies will undertake building operation and running of the scheme
第四，由私人發展商或地產發展商自行興建發展，但交由志願機構營運管理。
Fourth private developers or property developers will develop transitional housing on their own and then voluntary agencies will be invited to run and operate them
民主黨早前與財政司司長會面時已要求他預留30億元，作為興建過渡性房屋的基金。
When the Democratic Party met with the Financial Secretary earlier we had already asked him to set aside 3 billion for setting up a fund for building transitional housing
我希望同事不要拘泥於數字，我亦相信大家都希望做得更好，如果政府最終提出高於邵家臻議員的說法，提出設立一項80億元的基金，我是不會反對的。
I hope that my colleagues will not stick to the figures . I also believe that we want to do better and have a better arrangement . If the Governments final proposed amount is greater than what is suggested by Mr SHIU Ka - chun and if it proposes the establishment of a 8 billion fund I will not object to it
主席，我剛才提到，最有能力推動的是政府，其中包括土地使用。
President as I mentioned earlier the Government is best equipped to take forward the work including the use of land
希望局長稍後回應我。
I hope the Secretary will respond to me later
此外，其他土地包括短期租約地，政府有2,450公頃土地、5,300份短期租約用地的面積。
In addition there are other lands including those available in the form of short - term tenancies . The Government has 2 450 hectares of land on 5 300 short - term tenancies
透明度這麼低，當局可否提高透明度，讓我們知道有哪些土地可以使用呢？
Transparency is very low . I wonder whether the Administration can raise the transparency and let us know which lands are available for use
此外，空置校舍甚至興建大型工程之後的一些臨時用地，包括沙田至中環線、廣深港高速鐵路香港段共有97幅土地，沙中線及高鐵分別有70萬平方米及60萬平方米的臨時用地，已是再次騰空出來了。
Besides vacant school premises and even the temporary lands made available after the completion of large - scale construction projects including the Shatin to Central Link SCL and the Hong Kong Section of Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL there are a total of 97 such sites . SCL and XRL provide 700 000 sq m and 600 000 sq m of temporary lands respectively . These former worksites are now made available again
政府可否充分利用呢？
Then will the Government make full use of them?
因此，我今次提出的修正案，修正了鄭泳舜議員其中數個部分。
Therefore in this amendment proposed by me I have amended several parts of Mr Vincent CHENGs motion
我希望同事踴躍支持我的修正案及原議案，讓香港市民在如此惡劣的環境之中雖然未能治本都可以治標，未有最終的房屋解決方案，但最少也能在政府未能履行"3年上樓"承諾的期間，讓輪候的市民有少許喘息的空間。
I hope that my colleagues will strongly support my amendment and the original motion so that the people of Hong Kong who are staying in such a poor environment can get adequate housing . Even if we do not have a cure for the core of the problem we can address the symptoms . Even though we do not have a long - term solution to the housing issue at least we have got something to tide over the hardship in the interim as the Government fails to fulfil its promise of allocating a public housing flat within three years so that the people still waiting for public rental housing can have a little breathing space
梁議員，我發言支持陳淑莊議員根據《立法會條例》動議的議案。
Mr LEUNG I speak in support of the motion moved by Ms Tanya CHAN under the Legislative Council Ordinance
我剛才聽到謝偉銓議員說，陳帆只是在收拾前朝的爛攤子而已，他已經很盡力，克盡己職，英明神武，我不知這是否天大的笑話，與市民的看法真的有極大的差距。
Just now I heard Mr Tony TSE say that Frank CHAN is only tidying up the mess left behind by the former Governments that he has exerted himself to discharge his duties faithfully and that he is brilliant and wise . I wonder if this is the biggest joke of all for this is indeed vastly different from the views of the people
他剛才也提到很多字眼，我聽到也不禁懷疑這是否出自保皇黨議員的口。
Just now he used a lot of words and on hearing them I could not but doubt whether they came from a pro - establishment Member
所以，這次沙田至中環線質量的問題，市民覺得荒謬得難以置信。
So this is why the problems with the quality of the Shatin to Central Link SCL are unbelievably ridiculous to the public
文件是最基本可以用來查看工程質量和誰要負責的最基本證據，竟然可以消失。
Documents are primarily the most basic evidence for ascertaining the quality of works and who should be held responsible but they can outrageously disappear
政府說根據香港鐵路有限公司的項目綜合管理系統，在工序中會安排關鍵檢查點，在這些檢查點必須獲得准許或對工程滿意的情況下，例如鋼筋接駁合乎標準，才可以繼續進行工程。
The Government said that in accordance with the Project Integration Management System of the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL there are a number of hold points in the construction process and at these hold points the contractor can proceed with the construction works only when an approval is given or the works are considered satisfactory such as when the connection of rebars is up to standard
所以，現時紅磡站有超過七成的表格缺失是極其嚴重的事，怎可能數百份的文件中有七成都消失了？
Therefore the missing of over 70 % of the forms relating to Hung Hom Station is extremely serious . How can it be possible that 70 % of the several hundred documents have gone missing?
可以怎麼解釋呢？
How can this be explained?
《基本法》第六十四條訂明，香港特別行政區政府必須遵守法律，對香港特別行政區立法會負責。
Article 64 of the Basic Law stipulates that the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region must abide by the law and be accountable to the Legislative Council of the Region
所以，立法會絕對有憲制的角色、 憲制的責任和憲制的地位來監督政府。
Therefore the Legislative Council absolutely has the constitutional role constitutional responsibility and constitutional status to monitor the Government
這次港鐵公司涉嫌造假和工程質量的問題，牽涉到政府很多不同部門，過去和坐在我們面前的現任官員，以及多間上市公司和內地公司都有機會嚴重危害公眾安全，立法會作出調查是責無旁貸的。
This saga of suspected fraud committed by MTRCL and irregularities in the works quality involves many different government departments former officials as well as the incumbent ones sitting opposite us and a number of listed companies and Mainland companies and there is a chance that public safety has been seriously jeopardized . The Legislative Council is duty - bound to conduct an inquiry
正如我剛才所說，這事牽涉到那麼多高官、部門和公司，他們更可能在這事上形成龐大的互相包庇集團。
As I have just said this incident involves so many senior officials departments and companies so they might have formed an enormous syndicate for shielding one another
當然，這個集團中亦有保皇黨幫忙一起包庇。
Of course in this syndicate the pro - Government camp also has a part to play in helping shield their interests
立法會是一個民意機關，可以運用強制的權力，但我很難相信在龐大的包庇集團下，可做到剛才保皇黨議員說的問責、追究責任，討回公道；我不相信可以做到。
The Legislative Council being representative of public opinions can make use of its coercive investigation powers . But under this huge syndicate of these people shielding one another hardly do I believe we can uphold accountability and pursue responsibility to seek justice just as the pro - Government Member said just now . I do not believe we can do that
沙中線的整體工程超支173億元，整體造價高達971億元，花費龐大，醜聞不斷，施工問題導致影響車站的安全，並很可能會延誤通車。
The construction of SCL has incurred a cost overrun of 17.3 billion overall and the total construction costs are as high as 97.1 billion . Exorbitant costs are involved and yet scandals have never ceased and problems in the construction works have compromised the safety of stations and will likely delay the commissioning of SCL
立法會作為民意機關、民意代表，為甚麼不能調查？
The Legislative Council is a body representing public opinions . Why can it not conduct an inquiry?
路政署及其委聘的監察及核證顧問定期檢視港鐵工程是否合乎程序，包括檢視這些消失了的檢測表格，確保這些表格是按規定簽妥和備存。
The Highways Department and its Monitoring and Verification Consultant conduct regular checks on MTRCLs compliance with the procedures in its construction works which include checking these inspection forms that are now missing to ensure that the forms are signed and kept as required
現時這些表格可以消失，我相信當中必定有官員疏忽職守。
When these forms are missing now I think dereliction of duty on the part of the officials is definitely involved
另外，這些表格缺失，最嚴重的情況是工程造假或工程根本沒有按施工安全要求進行，影響的是整個車站的結構安全，是重大、重要的公眾利益。
Moreover with regard to the missing of these forms the most serious situation is that frauds were committed in the construction works or the works were not carried out in accordance with the safety requirements which would compromise the structural safety of the station as a whole so this is major significant public interest
我們亦相信，正如很多議員也提到，很可能有人擔心造假的工程被揭發而毀滅證據，這是嚴重的刑事罪行，我們必須傳召相關人士作證，追查到底。
We also believe as mentioned by many Members it is highly likely that some people had destroyed the evidence for fear of their fraudulent practices in the construction works being brought to light . This would be a serious criminal offence . We must summon the people concerned to give evidence and we will dig to the bottom of it
近日報章亦報道，港鐵公司原來在2016年11月14日曾經派員進行外部質量審核，由港鐵公司的品質保證工程師審核承建商禮頓建築有限公司在紅磡站的列車停放處及部分項目工程，內容包括檢查RISC表格及合約文件等。
In the past couple of days it was reported in the press that an external quality audit was conducted by MTRCL on 14 November 2016 . The audit which was performed by a Quality Assurance Engineer of MTRCL was intended to inspect the stabling sidings and certain works projects at Hung Hom Station carried out by the contractor namely Leighton Contractors Asia Limited Leighton and the scope of the audit includes checking the Request for Inspection and Survey Checks RISC forms contractual documents etc
所以，如果說政府委任的獨立調查委員會與立法會同時進行調查是架床疊屋，我要指出，立法會與政府的獨立調查委員會調查的側重點根本不同，不單不會架床疊屋，而且可以互補。
This is what the pro - Government camp has done . Therefore if it is said that inquiries by the government - appointed Commission of Inquiry and the Legislative Council in parallel would be redundant I have to point out that the Legislative Council and the Governments Commission have different focuses in their investigations . Their investigations are not redundant and better still they are complementary to each other
市民會否介意多一個作為民意代表的立法機關作不同重點的調查，把整件事多方面、立體地展示出來？
Do members of the public mind having an additional inquiry with a different focus conducted by the legislature which is representative of public opinions so that the whole issue can be presented from multiple perspectives and in full dimensions?
試問市民會否覺得這是壞事呢？
Tell me will members of the public consider this a bad thing at all?
因此，即使擴大了獨立調查委員會的職權範圍，我相信近期發生的情況，包括造假或一些掩飾的情況，獨立調查委員會並不能很全面地進行調查，特別是在有關官員有否瀆職或失責的行為方面，是更適合、更應該由立法會主動進行調查。
Therefore despite an expansion of the terms of reference of the Commission I think the Commission cannot comprehensively look into the situations that have emerged recently including frauds or cover - ups . Particularly regarding acts amounting to dereliction of duty or default on the part of the officials concerned it is more appropriate and more reasonable for the Legislative Council to proactively conduct an inquiry
我最近落區時聽到很多市民說，慨嘆香港越來越與內地相似。
Recently when I visited the districts I heard many people lament about Hong Kong increasingly resembling the Mainland
"豆腐渣工程"這詞語深入民心，以前只會在內地的工程或基建出現，過往因工程質量而發生重大事故，導致人命傷亡的情況，絕少在香港發生，但似乎真的是山雨欲來，香港也不能例外。
The term tofu - dreg or jerry - built projects has taken root in the hearts of the people . These projects used to be seen only in the construction works or infrastructure in the Mainland and in the past it was absolutely rare to see major incidents attributed to the quality of construction works happening and causing injuries and fatalities in Hong Kong . But it seems that a storm is really brewing and Hong Kong can no longer be spared
香港無論在政治體制、法治程度、文化上都如政府所謂的與內地接軌，在市民眼中卻是慢慢倒退。
Whether in respect of the political system the rule of law or culture Hong Kong has already aligned with the Mainland as the Government has put it but this is a gradual regression in the eyes of the public
這是市民的感受，也就是香港繼續倒退，直至有一天沙中線完成興建，發生重大事故而導致人命傷亡，市民會問今天否決引用《條例》進行調查的保皇黨，你們的良心在哪裏？
This is how the people feel and that is they feel that Hong Kong has kept regressing . One day when SCL is completed and a major incident happened causing in deaths and casualties the public will ask the pro - Government camp which voted against invoking PP Ordinance to conduct an investigation today where your conscience is
此外，連保皇黨本身都與內地接軌了。
Moreover even the pro - Government camp has now aligned with the Mainland
何君堯議員、在座的梁美芬議員、盧偉國議員及黃定光議員，你們為何要自我閹割呢？
Dr Junius HO and Dr Priscilla LEUNG Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok and Mr WONG Ting - kwong who are in the Chamber now why should you castrate yourselves?
你們說可以交給政府委任的獨立調查委員會調查，叫市民相信這個政府、相信林鄭月娥這位向北京負責的特首，還是市民較相信由立法會這最低限度有一半直選議員及有基本民意基礎的機關作出調查呢？
You said that we could leave it to the Commission appointed by the Government to conduct an inquiry and you tell the public to trust this Government and to trust this Chief Executive Carrie LAM who is responsible to Beijing but would the public rather trust an inquiry conducted by the Legislative Council which at least has half of its Members returned by direct elections and which basically has the mandate from the people?
尹兆堅議員，由於麥美娟議員及邵家臻議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Mr Andrew WAN as the amendments of Ms Alice MAK and Mr SHIU Ka - chun have been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正鄭泳舜議員的議案。
President I move that Mr Vincent CHENGs motion be further amended by my revised amendment
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：尹兆堅議員經修改的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Mr Andrew WANs revised amendment be passed
今次當然也不例外。
This time will certainly be no different
沙中線工程提交至立法會申請撥款時，無論在立法會鐵路事宜小組委員會、工務小組委員會，還是財務委員會，也有議員看到當中的問題，曾向政府當局提出質疑。
When the funding application for the SCL project was submitted to the Council for approval some members of the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways the Public Works Subcommittee and the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council had spotted problems in the project and raised them to the Administration
當初這些問題、質疑，與今時今日工程錯漏百出的亂象，兩者是否有互相呼應之處？
Are those problems and questions previously raised echoed in the chaos today brought forth by a project fraught with blunders?
立法會既然批出撥款，便有義務繼續監察。
Since the Legislative Council has approved the funding it has an obligation to effect continued monitoring
我甚至認為這不單是義務，更是立法會應有的權力。
I will go so far as to say that it is not just an obligation but a power rightfully vested in the Council
立法會期間曾29次嘗試引用《條例》調查各類事件，可惜相關議案沒有一次獲得通過。
During the interim 29 attempts to trigger inquiries into various incidents under PP Ordinance were made in the Council . Unfortunately not one of the relevant motions were passed
無論是帶有政治性的事件，還是鉛水等民生議題，立法會一概不能調查。
Those incidents from politically - charged ones to those concerning such livelihood issues as lead - tainted water were all off - limits to inquiry by the Council
