跟其他盛產本地食物的地區不同，香港有95%是進口食物，所以不可能只靠進口國家的監管工作來確保食物安全。
Unlike regions which can produce food locally Hong Kong imports 95 % of the food . With such a high proportion of imported food it is impossible to ensure food safety by solely relying on the inspection work of the countries of import
香港也不可能經常派人往南美洲巴西巡查，因此我們確實需要提高進口食品的抽檢數量。
Nor can Hong Kong frequently send officials to Brazil in South America to conduct inspection . Therefore there is a genuine need for us to increase the quantity of random inspections of imported food
當局何不趁機認真考慮增加撥款，讓研究中的擴充計劃可適時配合。
Since the Government Laboratory is studying reprovisioning and expanding its testing laboratories to cope with space constraints why dont the authorities take this opportunity to seriously consider increasing the funding provision to allow the expansion plan under study to tie in with enhanced food inspection?
同時，增加化驗人手，提高化驗技術及設備，加快化驗時間，以及增加化驗數量，一旦有事故發生，亦可及時作出應變，減低對市民和業界的損害。
Besides laboratory manpower should be strengthened and laboratory technology and facilities should also be upgraded . The testing turnaround time should be shortened and the testing quantity increased so that in the event of incidents the laboratory service can react in a timely manner to minimize the damages caused to the public and the trade
主席，另一令業界失望的問題，就是很多牌照的申請處理時間仍然冗長。
President the long processing time for the application of licences continues to be disappointing to the trade
我已多次提出，當局應考慮把酒牌有效期延長至兩年，讓紀錄良好的食牌持牌時間由1年延長至兩年，減輕有關部門的工作量，從而調配人手，加快其他申請進度。
I have repeatedly pointed out that in order to alleviate the workload of relevant departments the authorities should consider extending the validity period of liquor licences to two years and allowing food licence holders with satisfactory records to have their licences extended from one year to two years . In doing so the relevant departments should be able to deploy manpower to speed up the processing of other applications
雖然，當局指食牌每年續牌的做法可便利近年持牌條件不時變改的情況，但我認為這只是藉口，對迫切性的情況，當局仍可利用行政措施，引入新的持牌條件。
In this respect the authorities have explained that annual licence renewal is required because in recent years the licensing conditions vary from time to time . But I think this is merely an excuse as the authorities can introduce new licensing conditions by way of administrative measures in case of urgency
況且，兩年也不是很長的時間。
Besides two years is not a long period of time
說到全港性系統評估，又或當局最近經優化後而提出的BCA，最為人詬病的是，當局會針對評分低的學校，只說它們的不是。
For both the Territory - wide System Assessment TSA and the Basic Competency Assessment Research Study BCA an improved version of TSA the public widely denounces the approach of the authorities to target at schools with low scores in the assessments
這些學校害怕被"殺"，便不斷操練學生。
Schools which are assessed to be unsatisfactory in performance and are afraid of being closed by the authorities all resort to give their students excessive drills
我知道過去當局亦提供一些專業的支援措施，幫助評分低的學校作出改善。
I am aware that the authorities have indeed provided some professional support measures to help schools with low scores improve
但是，支援明顯不足，甚或令人感到監管多於支援。
However the support is obviously insufficient and is even perceived more as supervision
當局應深切反省有關做法，必要時增撥資源和加設支援隊伍，讓各學校，尤其是評分低的學校，深切明白當局是真心幫助學校，幫助老師，甚至改善課程，以提高學生的水平。
There is a need for the authorities to critically reflect on this practice . Where necessary the authorities should allocate additional resources and set up support teams through which schools especially those with low scores can be fully convinced that the authorities are sincere in helping them helping the teachers and improving the curriculums
最後，我想說說職業教育。
Finally I would like to talk about vocational education
我和自由黨一直認為當局應加強實用的職業教育，以滿足市場對各種人力資源的需求。
Along with the Liberal Party I always believe that the authorities should strengthen vocational education to cater for various human resources needs in the market
飲食業近年也向我反映，希望持續進修基金的資助範圍可納入飲食業的進修課程，讓更多年青人有興趣入行。
In recent years the catering industry has relayed to me its hope that refresher courses on catering can be included in the scope for subsidies under the Continuing Education Fund CEF so as to attract more young people to join the industry
既然當局已委聘顧問協助進行持續進修基金的檢討，探討優化基金的運作措施，當局應趁機把有關課程也納入資助範圍內。
Since the authorities have commissioned a review of CEF to explore how its operation can be refined the authorities should take this opportunity to include catering courses in the scope of subsidies under CEF
總括而言，我和自由黨認為今次的預算案不過不失，尤其是對中產和中、小、微企多了着墨。
In conclusion along with the Liberal Party I think the Budget this year is neither too good nor too bad especially because it gives more treatment to the middle class SMEs and the micro - enterprises
希望現屆政府把可以優化的地方盡量優化，至於以上一些較長遠的忠告及建議，則希望新政府能認真參考，帶領香港揭開新的一頁。
I hope the current - term Government can as far as possible improve what can be improved . For some of the longer - term advice and suggestions mentioned above I hope the new Government can seriously consider them and lead Hong Kong into a new chapter
主席，每次政府公布財政預算案時，財政司司長都會不厭其煩地重申香港屬於外向型經濟，規模不大，經濟好壞很受外來因素影響，非常不穩定。
President each time when the Government publishes the Budget the Financial Secretary will repeat that Hong Kong is an open economy not having a big size and its economic performance is not stable at all owning to its exposure to external factors
因此，有需要大量財政儲備來抵禦經濟的波動，以及突如其來的惡劣環境。
So large fiscal reserves are needed to safeguard against economic fluctuations and any sudden adversities
此外，亦會提到《基本法》規定了特區政府要審慎理財，量入為出，避免出現赤字。
Moreover he will then mention the requirements under the Basic Law that the Government should exercise fiscal prudence keep expenditure within the limits of revenue and avoid deficits
雖然外圍因素不明朗，但受惠於金融和地產的收益，例如印花稅及賣地收入，近年香港每年均出現財政盈餘，有時盈餘超出預期好幾倍。
Despite external uncertainties Hong Kong has recorded fiscal surpluses in recent years because of revenue from the financial and real estate sectors such as revenue from stamp duty and land sales and sometimes the surpluses are a few times as much as estimations . Let us take the Budget this year as an example
就像今次公布的預算案，就預計2016-2017年度的財政盈餘高達928億元，是原先估計100多億元的8倍多，財政儲備估計有9,327億元，兩者都是9年來的新高。
It forecasts a surplus of up to 92.8 billion in 2016 - 2017 more than eight times the original estimation of over 10 billion . Fiscal reserves are expected to reach 932.7 billion . Both have scaled new heights in nine years
但是，另一方面，香港的貧富懸殊亦越來越嚴重。
However on the other hand disparity between the rich and the poor has been widening in Hong Kong
去年政府統計處公布的堅尼系數是0.537，是全球第十一高的地區，亦是發達地區裏最高的。
The Gini Coefficient published by the Census and Statistics Department last year was 0.537 ranking the 11 worldwide and the highest among developed regions
換言之，香港是發達地區貧富懸殊最嚴重的地方，而且是30年來最嚴重的。
In other words Hong Kong has the most serious disparity in wealth distribution among the advanced regions and the situation is the worst in 30 years
在扶貧委員會去年公布2015年貧窮人口達134萬，較2014年增加25,000人，在政府恆常福利，包括"生果金"、長者生活津貼等介入後，貧窮的人口依然達97萬，貧窮的長者更高達30萬人。
The poverty population in 2015 published by the Commission on Poverty last year was 1.34 million increasing by 25 000 as compared with the number in 2014 . After policy intervention in terms of recurrent benefits from the Government such as fruit grant and the Old Age Living Allowance poverty population still stood at 970 000 and among them 300 000 were elderly persons
政府未能透過政策縮減貧富差距，便只能透過福利開支來紓緩基層貧窮人口的生活壓力。
As the Government is unable to reduce the wealth gap by policy means it can only alleviate the poors financial burden through welfare
如果貧富差距持續惡化，貧窮人口持續增加，福利開支只會越來越大。
A widening wealth gap and increasing poverty population will only lead to higher welfare expenses
2017-2018年度的預算增加至733億元，佔經常性開支19.7%。
The relevant estimated expenditure increased to 73.3 billion in 2017 - 2018 accounting for 19.7 % of recurrent expenditure
至於因為貧窮人口增加再加上人口老化，對公營醫療的需求亦會有增無減。
Furthermore as a result of an increase in poverty population coupled with population ageing the demand for public health care will only increase
2016-2017年度醫療衞生修訂預算是588億元，佔政府經常性開支17%，2017-2018年度是619億元，佔經常性開支16.7%。
The revised estimation of expenditure on health care in 2016 - 2017 was 58.8 billion accounting for 17 % of government recurrent expenditure while the estimation in 2017 - 2018 is 61.9 billion accounting for 16.7 % of recurrent expenditure
福利和醫療開支其實是緊隨基建和教育，即第三和第四位便是福利和醫療，兩者佔政府經常性開支約三成半，往後的需求只會不斷增加。
Social welfare and health in fact closely follow infrastructure and education in terms of government expenditure respectively incurring the third and the fourth highest expenditure by policy area group and together accounting for around 35 % of government recurrent expenditure . The demand in these policy areas will certainly increase continuously
然後政府每年又會提醒一次：外圍因素、香港稅基狹窄、作為全球最自由的經濟體，香港不能隨便加稅，因此政府的收入很不穩定。
The Government will then remind us once again each coming year about the external factors the narrow tax base in Hong Kong and the infeasibility of raising tax casually given the citys status as the freest economy in the world . All these will then point to a conclusion that the Governments revenue is unstable
問題是我們預見福利和衞生的需求只會增加，不會減少，因為如果經濟環境不變，只會有越來越多無助的貧窮市民和長者依靠社會福利和公營醫療。
The problem is that we foresee a certain increase in demand for welfare and health care service so if the economic environment remains the same it will only lead us to a situation in which more and more helpless members from the grass - roots sector and elderly persons will have to rely on social welfare and public health care
期望政府以新思維來看待公共財政，而不是每年都說回同一番說話。
I expect the Government to perceive public finance from a new perspective but not repeating the same words every year
其實我在立法會會上多次提問，而政府也多次重申，香港的醫療開支並非根據需求，而是根據政府每年的財政狀況而調整，所以，這令人感到很害怕。
In fact as I have enquired time and again in the Legislative Council the Government has reiterated that health care expenditure in Hong Kong does not vary according to demand but to the Governments financial status every year . This is worrying
隨着人口急劇老化和貧富懸殊的嚴重，可見未來公營醫療的需求只會增加不會減少，但政府的收入不會只不斷增加而不減少，因為經濟是會有逆轉變化的情況。
With rapid population ageing and widening gap between the rich and the poor demand for public health care in the foreseeable future will only increase yet the Governments revenue will not always be on the rise as there are times when the economy turns its tide
如果政府和市民均不願意加稅以應付必須增加的公共開支，為了不會因為受到經濟差，政府收入減少，而影響公營醫療的服務，我建議政府考慮在盈餘部分撥款，設立醫療撥款穩定基金，利用投資回報，讓將來假設經濟逆轉，削減公共開支，包括醫療開支時，便可在該基金內撥款，最低限度不會削減醫療開支的撥款，以作穩定，這樣便可令市民得益。
If both the Government and the people are not willing to see a tax hike to pay for the public expenditure which will surely be on the rise then I suggest that in order to prevent any economic down cycles and decreases in government revenue from affecting public health care services the Government should consider earmarking a certain amount of funds from the fiscal surpluses to set up a health care funding stabilization fund so that in times of economic slowdown with cuts in public expenditure health care expenditure included we can make use of investment returns in the fund and bear the health care costs . In this way we at least do not have to cut health care expenditure then and are therefore able to stabilize the funding for the benefit of the people
同時，就公共醫療的經常性撥款方面，我建議應採用以人口為基礎的撥款模式，增加撥款應該考慮通脹、人口老化、預防醫學、尖端醫學研究等因素。
And in respect of recurrent funding for public health care I suggest that we distribute the funding on the basis of demography so that in consideration of increases in funding we will take into account factors like inflation population ageing preventive health care advanced medicine and so on
公營醫療服務其實主要是依靠政府的撥款，從而向市民提供廉價的公營醫療，這是很重要的。
The provision of affordable public health care depends mainly on government funding . This is highly important
我作為醫學界的代表，亦希望藉此機會提出值得關注的地方。
As the representative of the health care sector I also wish to take this opportunity to point out a few points which deserve our attention
我當然歡迎上述的措施，但大家要留意，第一至第三點嚴格來說不是新的措施，而是加強及增加現有服務。
Of course I welcome the above measures yet Members have to be reminded that strictly speaking items a to c are not new . These are enhancements to existing services
至於第五點提到的醫療券，政府在這項措施的預算開支約為21億元，較去年約增加10億元。
As regards the vouchers mentioned in item e the estimated expense of this initiative is around 2.1 billion reflecting an increase of 1 billion over the last year
當然，我個人是歡迎有更多長者，可以利用醫療券到其有需要的私家醫生處求診，例如牙醫、復康服務及物理治療等，我是十分歡迎的。
Of course personally I welcome that more elderly persons can use these vouchers for consulting private practitioners as necessary such as receiving dental rehabilitation and physiotherapy treatments and so on . I greatly welcome this
此舉亦可以減輕公營醫療普通科門診的壓力，但如此一來，亟需增加資源和人手的公營醫療服務，其實便是沒有獲得更多真正撥款的。
Such initiative also serves to alleviate the burden borne by general outpatient clinics as a part of public health care . However in the case of the public health care system which is in dire need of more resources and manpower such initiative effectively means that no additional funding is actually distributed to the system
我向政府查詢第一點至第三點增加服務的具體內容時，政府回覆說會投放2億6,700萬元，增加229張公立醫院病床；提升精神科服務；以及加強藥劑服務。
When I asked the Government about specific contents of the additional services introduced in items a to c the Government replied that it would spend 267 million adding 229 beds in public hospitals; strengthening psychiatric health care services; and enhancing pharmaceutical services
在本年度更會增加新界東及新界西聯網的普通科門診名額至27,000多個，下年度再增加至40,000多個。
Moreover the service quota for general outpatient clinics in the New Territories East Cluster and New Territories West Cluster will be increased to 27 000 this year and to 40 000 in the following year
就是只會令正在工作的員工要做得更多、更快，令到人手更加緊絀。
This means more workloads and more pressing duties for frontline staff resulting in further strained manpower
此外，有關基礎建設部分，在第172段指出，為提升醫療設施和服務並應對人口老化，政府宣布一個涉及2,000億元的10年醫院發展計劃，我便是十分歡迎的。
Moreover with respect to infrastructure the Budget has pointed out in paragraph 172 that to enhance health care facilities and services in the face of an ageing population the Government announced the 10 - year hospital development plan of 200 billion . I highly welcome this announcement
該計劃包括在啟德發展區興建一間大型急症全科醫院及擴建或重建超過10間醫院。
The development plan includes the construction of a new major acute general hospital in the Kai Tak Development Area and the redevelopment or expansion of over 10 hospitals
這個2,000億元的發展計劃，其實在去年預算案中已有提出，我經常指出這便是一個硬件開支，當中涉及兩個問題：第一，我當然歡迎硬件上的提升，但政府卻沒有維持其一貫作風，預留一些軟件，即經常性撥款的10年準備。
This plan costing 200 billion was also proposed in the last Budget . As I frequently point out it is a kind of expenditure on the hardware . This involves two issues first I of course welcome the upgrade of hardware yet the Government has not followed its usual practice to earmark funding for the software such as recurrent expenditure for the next 10 years
可是，我可以肯定，亦請大家明白，如果政府不增加對醫管局的經常性撥款，我們是看不到可以增加到人手和資源的，而只能有"睇餸食飯"，即"有限米，煮限飯"的公營醫療服務。
However I can assure that there is no way HA can enhance its manpower and resources without any additional recurrent funding from the Government . HA can merely endeavour to provide public health care services to the greatest extent possible within the limits of its resources
政府實在應該制訂全面的醫療政策，以作長遠規劃，而非"頭痛醫頭，腳痛醫腳"，或只顧硬件，而沒有想過該10年間的軟件，而且也不願提起這些問題。
I wish Members can understand this . The Government should really formulate a comprehensive policy on health care for planning the distant future rather than addressing any problems that exist in a piecemeal manner or solely focusing on the hardware without considering the software required during the 10 - year period or even not bothered to care about the software
特首梁振英在任內完成了醫管局檢討督導委員會的報告，但卻沒有檢討醫管局本身的定位和工時制度。
Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying has the Report of the Steering Committee on Review of Hospital Authority completed within his term yet the positioning and working hours system of HA itself have not be reviewed
除了醫管局的角色外，其實亦應檢討公私營醫療服務如何分工，讓較有經濟能力的市民多利用私營 服務，減輕公營醫療的負擔。
Apart from HAs roles in fact we should also review the division of scope in the public - private partnership arrangement distributing those people who are financially more capable to private health care thereby alleviating the burden of the public health care system
可是，政府除了以稅務優惠鼓勵更多人購買醫療保險外，在壓力之下，政府便暫緩了兩件十分重要的事情，即"必須受保"及"設立高風險池"這兩項要求。
Despite offering tax concessions as an incentive for taking out health insurance the Government has suspended the implementation of the two essential requirements of guaranteed acceptance and establishment of the high risk pool under pressure
我希望政府細心聆聽市民及病人的權益，不應只關顧一些大公司和跨國企業的利潤，在自願醫保計劃中明顯便是自打嘴巴的。
I hope the Government can listen carefully to the people and patients aspirations for their rights and benefits instead of catering only about the profits of big corporations and international consortia . Apparently it has been self - contradictory regarding the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme
在現屆政府最後一份預算案中，我希望候任行政長官"林太"在其長遠醫療政策上，可以制訂出專業人手政策，投放更多資源，並悉數聘請所有醫科畢業生。
Concerning this Budget the final one prepared by the current Government I hope Chief Executive - elect Carrie LAM can in her long - term strategy for health care formulate a right manpower policy and deploy more resources for the health care profession as well as absorbing all medical graduates
我亦當然希望她可以履行其競選承諾，為公營醫療作長遠承擔，而非只搬弄數字或玩語言遊戲。
Moreover I certainly wish that she will fulfil her election promise of making long - term commitment on public health care but not simply playing games of numbers or rhetoric
對於她提出的醫委會改革，醫學界也是十分關注的。我們贊成醫委會改革以加快處理投訴和調查，增加透明度。
With respect to Medical Council reform the medical sector cares very much about the issue in which we support the reform for the purpose of speeding up complaints handling and investigation process as well as improving transparency
主席，我代表漁農界和民建聯，就漁農業、食品安全及環境衞生的政策發言。
President I speak on behalf of the Agriculture and Fisheries Constituency and the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB on the policies concerning the agriculture and fisheries industries food safety and environmental hygiene
其實，在財政預算案公布當日，我正在內地開會，是關於國家漁業政策對香港漁民的影響，例如休漁期和燃油補貼政策的調整。
Actually on the day the Budget was announced I was having a meeting in the Mainland about how Hong Kong fishermen would be impacted by the adjustments of various fisheries policies of the state such as the fishing moratorium and the fuel subsidy
就有關政策，我當然一直與特區政府保持緊密溝通。
Of course I have always maintained close contacts with the SAR Government on all such policies
然而，政府在這方面確實幫不上忙。
Yet I must honestly say that the Government cannot possibly offer any help in this regard
在國家政策層面上，香港並不能作主。
Hong Kong has no say when it comes to state policies
因此，在與內地與官員討論期間，當他們問及香港特區政府就上述兩項政策對漁民的影響持有甚麼態度時，我只能表示我是來反映意見的，並無 任何立場可言。
That was why when Mainland officials asked me during the discussion at the meeting how the HKSAR Government looked at the impacts of these two policies on our fishermen I could only tell them that I was there only to reflect the views of the industry and I did not have any particular stance to state
其中較為特別的，也是有關漁農業。
The more noteworthy points are about agriculture and fisheries industries
究竟政府在這方面做了甚麼？
What has the Government done in view of all this?
主席，我及香港經濟民生聯盟的同事，也認為財政司司長陳茂波早前公布的財政預算案，基本上能與 2017年施政報告配合，並採納了經民聯提出的30多項訴求與建議。
President my colleagues from the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA and I hold the view that the Budget announced earlier by Financial Secretary Paul CHAN can basically tie in with the 2017 Policy Address . We would also like to add that some 30 requests and proposals put forward by BPA have been accepted
預算案推出了一系列措施，除了使用351億元作為一次性"派糖"之外，又決定以前瞻方式善用610億元盈餘，這能扶助中小型企業，減輕中產人士負擔，推進社福民生及文化教育，惠及不同階層市民，並兼顧社會短、中、長期的部分需要。
The Budget puts forward a host of measures including the handing out of one - off sweeteners worth 35.1 billion and a forward - looking decision on making good use of 61 billion of our surplus . All this can help small and medium enterprises SMEs alleviate the burdens of middle - class people improve social welfare and peoples livelihood and promote culture and education . In brief the Budget can benefit people from different social strata in addition to meeting some of the short - medium - and long - term interest of society
我相信大家的關注點也集中於兩方面，第一，預算案提到的措施如何能夠有效落實；第二，政府如何進一步善用盈餘，與廣大市民共享發展成果，投資未來。
I believe Members are mainly concerned about two questions . First how can the initiatives proposed in the Budget be effectively implemented? . Second how can the Government make still better use of the surplus to share the fruits of progress with the public and invest in the future?
儘管目前本地就業市場相對平穩，失業率處於較低水平，但香港是外向型經濟體，既要應付經濟全球化所帶來的激烈競爭，又要面對一系列不明朗因素，包括美國展開加息周期，以及世界各地重現各種形式的貿易保護主義等。
Even though the local employment market is relatively stable and the unemployment rate is quite low we must not forget that Hong Kong as an externally - oriented economy must deal with the fierce competition brought by economic globalization and face a series of uncertain factors including the beginning of interest rate normalization in the United States and the re - emergence of various forms of trade protectionism in different parts of the world
正如全國人大常委會張德江委員長指出，香港若繼續受內部政治爭拗折騰，經濟發展不久便可能會被深圳超越。
Mr ZHANG Dejiang Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress has rightly said that Hong Kong may soon be surpassed by Shenzhen in development if the former continues to be troubled by internal political rows
這番話絕非危言聳聽。
This is no alarmist talk
以2016年為例，深圳的本地生產總值是1億9,400萬元人民幣，大約折算為2億1,800萬港元，而香港的GDP則是2億4,900萬港元，相距越來越少。
In 2016 for example the Gross Domestic Product GDP of Shenzhen was RMB 194 million or about 218 million and the GDP of Hong Kong was 249 million . The difference is getting smaller and smaller
再者，深圳在新經濟發展，特別是創新及科技產業方面更是有超卓表現，香港實在不容怠慢。
Moreover Shenzhen is doing remarkably well in the new economy especially in respect of the innovation and technology IT industry . Therefore Hong Kong cannot afford any complacency
居安思危，香港必須致力提升各行各業的競爭力，並且尋求新的發展機遇，才能為社會不同階層開拓新出路。
Hong Kong must be aware of the dangers ahead and strive to upgrade the competitiveness of all sectors and seek new opportunities for development . It is only in this way that our society can open up new avenues for different strata
主席，以下我將會就數項較令人關注的議題，反映業界和社會對預算案的意見和建議。
President in the following part of my speech I am going to relay the views and suggestions of the industries and society on the Budget with particular reference to several topics that are of greater concern
在經濟及產業發展方面，預算案推出多項措施，包括預留100億元支援創新及科技發展、成立創新科技及再工業化委員會、推動香港再工業化、發展高端製造業，並推出20億元的創科創投基金，按大約1：2的資金配對比例與風險投資基金共同投資於本地的初創企業。
In respect of economic and industrial development a number of measures are proposed in the Budget . They include putting aside 10 billion for supporting IT development in Hong Kong setting up a new committee on IT development and re - industrialization to promote the re - industrialization of Hong Kong and facilitate the development of a high - end manufacturing industry and setting up a 2 billion Innovation and Technology Venture Fund ITVF to co - invest in local IT start - ups with venture capital funds on a matching basis of about one to two
我特別歡迎財政司司長提到，稅務政策組將積極研究提升科研開支稅務扣減的建議。
I especially welcome the Financial Secretarys statement that the tax policy unit will explore enhanced tax deductions for IT expenditure
事實上，經民聯多次促請政府提供研發及設計開支3倍扣稅，協助創科企業融資。
In fact BPA has repeatedly urged the Government to offer 300 % tax deduction to enterprises engaging in product research and development RD so as to assist IT industries in financing
我亦期望政府優化各項創科基金的申請條件，並且在適當時候"加碼"，為創科企業培養新的增長點。
I also hope that the Government can perfect the requirements governing applications for various IT funds and make further capital injection at appropriate times so as to nurture new growth areas for IT enterprises
不過，我促請特區政府注意，儘管創新及科技局自2015年11月成立以 來推出不少措施，使創科氛圍有所改善，但當局至今仍未回應科技業界的強烈訴求，就是盡快制訂本港長遠創新及科技發展策略，以推動科研成果商品化、商品產業化及產業國際化。
Nevertheless I also urge the SAR Government to note that although a number of measures have been launched since the establishment of the Innovation and Technology Bureau in 2015 and the atmosphere for IT development has been improved the authorities have not yet responded to the strong aspiration of the technology sector to formulate a long - term IT development strategy for Hong Kong as soon as practicable so as to promote the commercialization industrialization and internalization of RD results
