我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：梁耀忠議員就經何俊賢議員修正的陸頌雄議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Mr LEUNG Yiu - chungs amendment to Mr LUK Chung - hungs motion as amended by Mr Steven HO be passed
主席，外判制度成立至今已成為架床疊屋、向財團輸送利益的工具，亦淪為剝削基層員工的食人制度。
President the outsourcing system has since its establishment become a tool for unnecessary duplication and transfer of benefits to consortia . It has also been reduced to a cannibalistic system that exploits grass - roots workers
自1990年代開始，當局便開始逐步把多項政府服務外判，而外判的問題亦不斷惡化。
Since the 1990s the authorities have been progressively outsourcing many government services and the problems of outsourcing have been worsening
當年政府以為外判安排可以令部分服務轉由私營機構提供，從而以較少的公帑提供較佳的服務。
Back then the Government thought outsourcing arrangements could allow some services to be provided by private organizations so that better services would be provided with less public money
可是，時至今日，大家有目共睹，為了監察外判公司的表現，政府卻要開設更多中層管理職位，架床疊屋的問題更為嚴重。
However it is obvious to people that today to monitor the performance of contractors the Government has to create more mid - level management positions aggravating the problem of unnecessary duplication
過去3年，單是為監察街道潔淨工作外判商的表現，便要497名高級衞生督察、衞生督察、高級管工等負責這些工作。
In the past three years only to monitor the performance of street cleansing contractors 497 senior health inspectors health inspectors and senior foremen were required
外判制度令政府難以保障外判商聘用的基層員工的權益，不少外判商把合約"判上判"，基層員工被拖欠薪金，發生工傷事故後不獲合理賠償等問題屢見不鮮。
The outsourcing system has rendered it difficult for the Government to protect the rights and benefits of grass roots workers employed by contractors many of whom engage in subcontracting . It is commonplace that grass - roots workers are owed payment of wages denied reasonable compensation after work injuries etc
今年年初更有調查顯示，有八成政府外判的保安和清潔員工的時薪更可能低於最低工資水平，但對於這些情況， 政府好像愛理不理。
A survey conducted at the beginning of this year indicated that the hourly wages of over 80 % of workers of outsourced security and cleaning services of the Government may be lower than the minimum wage rate . But to such situations the Government seems to remain indifferent
由此可見，外判制度無疑令更多基層員工受到剝削，而政府則成為幫兇。
It shows that the outsourcing system has undoubtedly caused exploitation to more grass roots workers with the Government being an accomplice
針對外判制度的流弊，人民力量早已在多份施政報告及財政預算案建議書均建議廢除外判制度，除了提出建議外，我們也有實際行動。
To address the shortcomings of the outsourcing system the People Power has already proposed the abolition of the outsourcing system in a number of proposals for policy addresses and budgets . Other than making proposals we have also taken practical actions
在過去的預算案辯論中，我們也曾提出針對削減外判服務開支的修正案。
In the last Budget debate we proposed an amendment to cut expenditures on outsourced services
以2014年為例，有議員提出削減食物環境衞生署就外判三色回收桶的一半費用開支500萬元，人民力量當然支持。
For example in 2014 a Member proposed cutting half of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD expenditure on outsourcing the provision of three - colour waste separation bins which was 5 million . The People Power of course lent it support
"長毛"亦曾提出削減5,420萬元，約相當於規劃署年度用於外判服務的全年開支，我們亦有支持。
Long Hair also proposed a cut of 54.2 million which was equivalent to the annual expenditure on outsourced services by the Planning Department; and we supported it as well
至於工聯會，他們當然是投票反對，因為他們認為我們提出這些所謂預算案修正案志在搞事和"拉布"。
As for the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU of course they voted against it as they considered our so - called amendments to the Budget intentional troubles and filibusters
事實上，我們在預算案討論中已多次提出對外判制度流弊的批評，甚至希望施加壓力，令政府有所改善。
As a matter of act we have repeatedly voiced our criticisms of the shortcomings of the outsourcing system in the discussion about the Budget even hoping to exert pressure on the Government to make improvements
追本溯源，當局自1990年代引入外判制度，前臨時區域市政局亦在1995年開始把垃圾收集服務外判，但前市政局卻遲遲未就垃圾收集服務外判。
Getting to the root of the problem since the authorities introduced the outsourcing system in the 1990s the former Provisional Regional Council started to outsource the refuse collection service in 1995 but the former Urban Council had yet to do the same
在"殺局"前，市政局的垃圾收集服務由政府提供，垃圾收集員工均為政府僱員。
Before the scrapping of both Municipal Councils the refuse collection service of the Urban Council was provided by the Government and refuse collection workers were all employees of the Government
不過，審計署及效率促進組曾建議政府外判垃圾收集服務，但當時由於市政局反對而不得要領。
However both the Audit Commission and the Efficiency Unit had recommended the Government to outsource the refuse collection service which could not be carried out due to the opposition of the Urban Council
根據審計署文件所述，"在1998年2月，市政總署署長告知財政司司長辦公室工商服務業推廣署：垃圾收集服務確有外判的空間，但須獲得市政局批准。
As stated in the document by the Audit Commission In February 1998 the Director of Urban Services informed the Business and Services Promotion Unit of the Financial Secretarys Office that while there was scope for contracting out the refuse collection service the approval of the [Urban Council] would be required
市政局議員大致上都反對由承辦商承辦垃圾收集服務"。
Members of the [Urban Council] were generally opposed to the collection of refuse by contractors
由此可見，在市政局年代，尚有民意代表可以監察市政服務的運作，政府不得隨意外判這些公共服務。
It indicates that in the era of the Urban Council there were still representatives of public opinion to monitor the operation of government services and the Government could not arbitrarily outsource these public services
當然，1997年主權移交後，董建華決定"殺局"，市政局的權力由食環署承繼，而食環署卻無須向民意代表負責，外判工作亦欠缺監管，而當年"殺局"法案三讀表決時，我們記得同時身兼工聯會及民建聯成員的立法會前議員陳婉嫻投票贊成。
Of course after the handover of sovereignty in 1997 TUNG Chee - hwa decided to scrap both Municipal Councils . FEHD inherited the powers of the Urban Council but is not required to answer to representatives of public opinion; also its outsourced work is not subject to supervision . We remember that when the bill scrapping the Municipal Councils was put to the vote at Third Reading former Legislative Council Member Miss CHAN Yuen - han who were both a member of FTU and the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong voted for it
大家想想，如果現在兩個市政局仍然存在，當這麼多議員和市民均認為外判制度千瘡百孔，甚至有人認為應該取消，前市政局及前區域市政局區域局亦會受到很大壓力，議會對於外判服務的監察亦能更有效。
Imagine if the two Municipal Councils still exist now as so many Members and people think that the outsourcing system is full of flaws and loopholes with some of them even thinking that it should be abolished the former Urban Council and Regional Council would be under a lot of pressure and the monitoring of outsourced services by this Council could be more effective
現在說回從前，就像"白頭宮女話當年"，已無甚意義。
Now looking back at what happened just like a granny looking back on the good old days is meaningless
我知道今天有多項議案均會獲得通過，大家也好像方向一致。
I know that today a number of motions will be passed; it seems like we are unanimous in terms of direction
對於終極取消外判制度，當然會有議員不同意，但對於加強監察，以及認為政府在外判制度上做得不完善，我相信沒有人敢為政府辯護，說政府做得很好及制度行之有效，不會有人這樣說的了。
As regards the ultimate abolition of the outsourcing system of course some Members will disagree; but as regards strengthening the monitoring and the view that the Government has done poorly with the outsourcing system I believe no one dares defend the Government and say it has done a good job and the system is proven . No one would say that
主席，在1970年代末、1980年代初，世界各國開始進行公共行政改革。
President at the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s countries around the world began to conduct public administration reforms
最先採取改革措施的，是在戴卓爾夫人領導下的英國政府，以控制公共開支、削減公共部門規模、將國有產業私有化等手段，提升政府的營運效率。
The very first one which adopted reform measures was the British Government led by Mrs Margaret THATCHER . It employed such means as controlling public expenditure reducing the scale of public departments and privatization of state - owned assets to enhance the operational efficiency of the Government
這種改革措施陸續為其他國家的政府採用，而公共行政學將這種趨勢歸納為新公共管理主義。
This kind of reform measures was adopted by the governments of other countries one after another . In Public Administration such a trend falls under New Public Management
很多時候，我們知道外判的成本效益其實並非那麼高，因為外判有很多其他額外成本，例如外判員工對政府工作歸屬感較低，影響士氣，服務質素變差，以致流失率高。
More often than not we know that the cost - effectiveness of outsourcing is actually not that high because it involves many other extra costs . For example outsourced workers have a lower sense of belonging to work in the Government thus affecting the morale and the quality of service will worsen leading to a high wastage rate
由於流失率高，可能導致政府須重新招標，而外判商或須重新招聘和培訓人手，亦須再次耗費資源來培訓員工。
Given a high wastage rate the Government may have to conduct a tender exercise afresh and the outsourced service contractor may have to recruit manpower and train the recruits all over again . It will have to expend resources again on staff training
政府亦須花時間處理招標和監管外判工作的服務水平，這些均是額外成本。
The Government will also need to spend time on handling the tender exercise and monitoring the service standard of the outsourced work . All of these are extra costs
至於是否需要外判，其實政府每次外判時，應該有一套完整的策略，甚至須進行成本效益的研究。
As regards whether outsourcing is necessary actually in each exercise of outsourcing the Government should have a complete strategy and should even conduct a study on cost - effectiveness
價格當然是在政府現有標準中一個非常重要的因素，但投標者過往的服務質素和表現、有否違法、是否合規等情況也應佔頗大比重。
The price is certainly a very important factor in the existing criteria of the Government but the tenderers quality of service and performance in the past whether there has been any non - compliance whether it meets the requirements etc . should also be given substantial weightings
我真的不明白，為何外判服務合約一定要批給價格最低的投標者呢？
I really do not understand why an outsourced service contract must be awarded to the lowest bid
就這些外判合約而言，價錢並非我們唯一的考慮因素。
This is an extreme example . Regarding these outsourced contracts the price is not our sole consideration
長遠而言，政府應就外判制度的工種和範圍進行全面檢討，評估採用外判制度與其他聘用制度，例如合約制或甚至公務員常額編制，在成本效益上的差異，以訂立最好、最適當的僱傭制度。
In the long term the Government should conduct a comprehensive review of the types and scope of work under the outsourcing system and assess the difference in cost - effectiveness between the outsourcing system and other appointment systems for example appointment on contract terms or even in the civil service permanent establishment with a view to establishing the best and the most suitable employment system
我命令若稍後就"盡快全面檢討政府的服務外判制度"所提出的議案或修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
I order that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the motion on Expeditiously conducting a comprehensive review of the Governments service outsourcing system or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
一個政府或國家怎可以把服務外判呢？
How can a government or country outsource its services?
把應有的責任、服務，以及和市民建立的關係外判，這是一個怎麼樣的國家和政府？
What sort of a government or country is it if its due responsibility services and relationship with its people are outsourced?
關於外判制度帶來的問題，我無意討論成本與效益，或大家可能正在看的通識入門，即關於外判制度的好處和壞處。
Regarding the problems brought forth by the outsourcing system I have no intention to discuss costs and effectiveness or the pros and cons of the outsourcing system outlined in the Liberal Studies for beginners which is probably being read by Members now
一個國家或政府絕不能外判政府的價值。
Under no circumstances can a government or country outsource its values
這個政府有否顧及國體、國德，有否顧及一些被認為非常重要的政府或立國理念呢？
Has this Government given due regard to the prestige and ethic of the country? . Has it given due regard to the philosophy of the Government or of the founding of the country which is considered most important?
香港政府會否將國防外判呢？
Will the Hong Kong Government outsource national defence?
答案可能是中國大陸，因為政府無法界定牽涉的私有產權，因此無法提供清潔食水。
The answer is probably Mainland China . Since the Government fails to define the private ownership rights involved it is unable to provide clean potable water
還有甚麼是不容許國家或政府外判的呢？
What else cannot be outsourced by a country or government?
如果國家和政府具長遠眼光，並且能夠持續發展的話，教育和醫療等範疇便不會出現外判 的情況。
If a country or government has foresight and is capable of pursuing sustainable development outsourcing will not be found in such areas as education health care and so on
以高等教育為例，如果政府希望社會能夠發展，教育範疇便不會出現外判的情況，因為某些學科必須投放資源，訂定發展策略或方針，畢業生也會被視為社會或國家發展的動力。
Let me cite higher education as an example . Should the Government hope to pursue social development outsourcing would not have been found in the education area because resources must be injected into certain disciplines for the formulation of development strategies or approaches . Graduates will be regarded as the drive for social or national development too
例如，中國大陸即共產黨政府於10年前投放大量金錢發展社會，以及在各重點院校發展所謂政府管理人才。
For instance a decade ago Mainland China that is the communist regime injected abundant money into social development as well as the development of the so - called government management talents in various key institutions
主席，如果你不能擴闊你的眼光......是治國或政府管理的範疇，我奉勸你不要打斷我的發言。
President if you cannot broaden your horizons the areas concerning the governance of a country or management of a government I advise you against interrupting my speech
我說的不是單純關乎外判制度的優劣，而是它的政治意義。
My speech is not purely about the pros and cons of the outsourcing system; it is about the political significance of the system
如果你不明白的話，我可以邀請你出席我的課堂，聽一聽香港政治經濟學的基本態度。
If you do not understand this I can invite you to attend my class to learn the fundamental positioning of political economies in Hong Kong
外判制度......
The outsourcing system
鄭松泰議員，今天辯論的議題是"盡快全面檢討政府的服務外判制度"。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai the question under debate today is Expeditiously conducting a comprehensive review of the Governments service outsourcing system
當時胡錦濤和溫家寶都認為，高等教育外判制度只會帶來禍害，令到國家只看重理工科人才。
Back then both HU Jintao and WEN Jiabao considered that an outsourcing system for higher education would be disastrous for the State would only take science and technology talents seriously as a result
我會嘗試遷就主席的水平。
I will try to accommodate myself to the Presidents standard
關於政府服務外判一事，我現在用一個具體例子說明，香港高等教育的制度，已出現外判的情況。
Concerning the outsourcing of government services let me cite a specific example to illustrate my point . Outsourcing can already be seen in the higher education system in Hong Kong
香港在過去三四十年發展過程中，這些課程也有一定的發展方向......
In the course of development of Hong Kong over the past three or four decades these programmes have also had their direction of development
我希望局長的水平能夠達到一個正常議會應有的水平。
I hope the standard of the Secretary is up to the standard of a normal representative assembly
主席，其實我有點擔心，因為我稍後亦會舉出一些例子或就新自由主義的發展脈絡發言，從而說明如何影響公共政策。
President I am actually a bit worried because later on I will also cite some examples or speak on the course of development of neo - liberalism so as to explain how it affects public policies
但無論如何，我希望你作出公正的裁決。
But anyway I hope you will demonstrate impartiality in your ruling
香港市民也知道，這是我們比較關注的狀況。
Members of the public in Hong Kong also know that this is a relatively great concern to us
雖然香港一般民眾很少說外判工被剝削或這種新自由主義真的害人不淺，但大家也知道我們面對的是同一問題。
While the general public in Hong Kong seldom talk about the exploitation of outsourced workers or the great harm actually done by such neo - liberalism we all know that we face the same issue
其實，我相信令市民大眾較受影響的是回歸後開始實施的清潔工、保安及眾多低薪工種的外判，以及一種極端親近市場的社會政策。
In fact I believe the general public is more likely to feel the pinch of the outsourcing of cleaning work security services and a number of low - paid jobs and an extremely market - oriented social policy after the reunification
這個問題是複雜的，在政府架構內亦牽涉各層級的局方、司長及執法部門，包括財政司司長、財經事務及庫務局、公務員事務局、勞工及福利局，以至執行的部門，包括被批評得最多的房屋署、康樂及文化事務署及食物環境衞生署。
This issue is complex involving bureaux secretaries of department and law enforcement agencies of different layers in the government structure including the Financial Secretary the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau the Civil Service Bureau the Labour and Welfare Bureau as well as their executive arms including the most criticized Housing Department the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department
這些均在在表現出政府的思維是以一種新自由主義的態度施政，以及執行經濟和社會政策。
All of them show that the philosophy of the Government is to adopt a neo - liberal attitude in administration and implementation of economic and social policies
政府作為最大的僱主，難道真的完全沒有責任嗎？
As the largest employer could it be possible that the Government really has no responsibility at all?
主席，在這種經濟範式下，其實對部分人來說，這似乎是面對當時經濟危機的出路。
President under such an economic paradigm actually to some people it seemed to be a way out in the face of the economic crisis back then
但經過數十年，在大部分普羅市民包括香港民眾眼中，新自由主義的政策將統治階層最大化、重建和運用其階級權力進行剝削、加劇了社會政策的不公平和不平等、毀滅了工會、剝削了社會的力量，以及將基層大眾和勞動階層的勞動價值以"市場主導"、"大市場、小政府"、"成本效益"、"公平招標"、"合約精神"等字眼蒙混過去，以掩飾及合理化剝削和不公平的社會政策狀況。
But several decades down the line in the eyes of the majority of the general public including those in Hong Kong neo - liberal policies have maximized the ruling class which has restored and used its power to engage in exploitation added to the injustice and inequality of social policies destroyed unions exploited social force and obscured the labour value of the grass roots and the working class with such wording as market - led big market small government cost - effectiveness fairness of the tendering process and spirit of contract so as to cover up and rationalize exploitation and the unfair status of social policies
在10年前即2007年，相信很多人也聽過的知名學者哈維已提出警告，認為新自由主義在促進經濟方面的效益相當輕微。
A decade ago in 2007 David HARVEY the famous scholar whom I believe many must have heard of already warned that neo - liberalism could only achieve little in promoting economic development
昨天我聽到很多議員詢問政府，包括民主黨在上屆議會亦問過政府，推行這些政策究竟有何效益？
Yesterday I heard a number of Honourable colleagues ask the Government about the benefits of introducing such policies a question also asked by the Democratic Party in the last term of the Legislative Council
諾貝爾得獎者史迪格利茲亦曾提出同樣的警告，認為無限大的市場是一種惡意的制度。
Nobel prize winner Joseph STIGLITZ has also sounded the same warning that an unfettered market is a malicious institution
我們怎可以容忍香港社會上的清潔工每天工作10多小時，從不缺勤，收入卻只有8,000多元呢？
How can we tolerate the fact that cleaning workers in our society who work some 10 hours a day and are never absent are paid some 8,000 only?
主席，這是很離譜的狀況。
President the situation is ridiculous
我們怎可以容忍外判制度不斷蠶食，甚至透過我剛才提及的模糊術語合理化所有剝削？
How can we tolerate the incessant erosion and even the rationalization of all exploitation acts through those vague jargons that I mentioned earlier by the outsourcing system?
市民大眾最終也會受害。
Eventually the general public will suffer
此外，我們更不能容忍這些公司不單極盡剝削之能事，很多外判公司在獲取表面的利益之餘，向我們承諾提供的服務水平卻不達標，而對工人的職安健工作亦做得不足。
In addition we also cannot tolerate such companies which do not just exploit employees in every single way . While reaping their essential benefits a number of outsourcing companies have failed to meet the service standards pledged to us and their measures for ensuring occupational safety and health of workers are also inadequate
主席，我認為這個問題已無須再深究。
President I think we need not dwell on this issue
整個制度由理論到實際操作，我們已經歷數十年，全世界也經歷了數十年，為何唯獨香港政府不嘗試檢討及檢視有關政策？
We have been through a few decades seeing the transition of the whole system from the theoretical stage to actual implementation so have people in the whole world . Why does the Hong Kong Government alone not try to review and examine such a policy?
我希望今天政府聽罷我們同事的發言後，會盡快檢討有關外判制度，不能將其無限放大，甚至應適當地將一些長期外判、根本屬長工的工作轉為常聘工種，重返公務員體系，讓我們的基層大眾得以分享經濟成果。
I hope that after listening to what Honourable colleagues have said today the Government will expeditiously review such an outsourcing system . Instead of having the system expanded incessantly those positions outsourced on a long - term basis which are essentially permanent in nature should again be appropriately regularized in the civil service establishment thus enabling our grass roots to share the fruits of economic success
主席，過去有工會人士以"無晉升、無福利、無加薪、無保障、無前途"形容政府外判員工多年來面對的問題，我相信這種"五無"現象至今仍然困擾不少政府外判員工。
President the problems faced by workers employed for services outsourced by the Government over the years have been described by labour union members as having no promotion prospect no welfare no pay rise no protection no future . I think this situation of five noes have continued to cause distress to quite a large number of outsourced workers nowadays
維護勞工權益，政府責無旁貸。
The Government is duty - bound to protect labour rights and benefits
所以，我支持政府採取更有效、可行的措施，加強保障政府外判員工的權益。
Therefore I support the Government taking more effective and practicable measures to enhance the protection of the rights and benefits of outsourced workers of the Government
我認為政府首先要做的，是完善現有服務外判合約的招標機制，包括取消"價低者得"的招標形式。
I think the first step that the Government should take is to perfect the existing tender mechanism for outsourced service contracts by among others abolishing the approach of lowest bid wins for awarding contracts
其實，"價低者得"的招標形式一直為人詬病，不少企業把工作外判視為降低成本的上策，但卻忽略員工的待遇。
In fact the approach of lowest bid wins has all along given cause for criticism . While many enterprises consider outsourcing the best strategy to reduce costs they have neglected the treatment of workers
近年，不少僱員被迫由固定員工轉為非固定員工，外判員工的情況也一樣，承辦商會在繁忙時段聘請更多兼職員工，減少固定員工的比例，又以更低的工資進行招聘，同時削減員工的醫療和年假等福利待遇。
In recent years many employees have been forced to change their employment status from permanent staff to non - permanent staff and the same goes for workers of outsourced service . Contractors employ more workers on a part - time basis during peak hours in a bid to reduce the proportion of permanent staff or recruit employees at lower wages while at the same time cutting employees medical benefits annual leave and so on
如果出現"判上判"的情況，員工的待遇更可能會進一步被剝削。
In the event that subcontracting is involved the employees salary and benefits may be further exploited
由此可見，外判制度令員工權益受損，不但損害工人的生活質素，嚴重時甚至會引發工潮，破壞社會和諧穩定。
From this we can see that the outsourcing system has undermined labour rights and benefits . This will not only take toll on the quality of living of workers but will in more serious cases even give rise to strikes to the detriment of social harmony and stability
所以，"價低者得"的招標方式並不健康。
Therefore the approach of lowest bid wins is unhealthy
政府把服務外判時，絕不應該以降低成本作為大前提來考慮，更不應該以犧牲外判員工的權益來減低成本。
In outsourcing its services the Government absolutely should not make consideration on the premise of reducing costs and worse still reduce them by sacrificing the rights and benefits of outsourced workers
因此，我認為在外判合約中應加入條款，清楚列明外判服務承辦商必須符合的相關要求和指標，包括工資水平和人手編制，從而在保障外判員工權益的同時，亦有助提升整體外判服務的質素。
In this connection I think the contract for outsourced services should include a new provision to explicitly require contractors of outsourced services to meet the relevant requirements and standards in respect of wage level staff establishment and so on so that while the rights and benefits of outsourced workers are protected the overall quality of the outsourced services can also be upgraded
政府應該嚴格執行外判服務扣分制度，在有需要時更應進一步加強有關罰則，嚴懲未能符合或違反合約要求和規定的服務承辦商，甚至引入停賽制度，相信這對服務承辦商將有一定阻嚇作用。
The Government should strictly enforce the demerit point system for outsourcing services and when necessary further increase the relevant penalty to severely punish contractors who fail to comply with or act in breach of the contractual requirements and stipulations and even introduce a system of suspension . I believe this will have a certain deterrent effect on the contractors
同時，我建議政府就服務外判制度提出有效促進參與的措施，讓提供專業服務的中小企、初創企業，甚至年青專業人士有更多機會參與招標。
Meanwhile I propose that the Government should put forward measures to effectively facilitate participation in the service outsourcing system of the Government by providing more opportunities for small and medium enterprises SMEs engaging in the provision of professional services business start - ups and even young professionals to take part in tendering
他們可以透過實踐累積經驗，提高專業服務水平。
This will enable them to practically use their accumulated experience to upgrade the standard of professional services
主席，原議案其中一項建議是要求投標者提出的僱員工資水平，必須高於法定最低工資或按有關行業的工資中位數訂定，我認為有關要求有違法定最低工資的立法精神。
President the original motion proposes among others to require tenderers to offer to employees wage levels higher than the statutory minimum wage or to set the wage levels according to the median wage of the relevant industries . This I think is contrary to the spirit of legislating for the statutory minimum wage
在法定最低工資以外再制訂另一個服務承辦商需要遵從的最低工資，變相更改了最低工資水平，那麼立法制訂最低工資還有何意義呢？
The formulation of another minimum wage requiring compliance by contractors on top of the statutory minimum wage is de facto a revision of the minimum wage . Such being the case what meaning is there in enacting legislation for a minimum wage?
