主席，我這項質詢其實很清楚是問政府，因應行政長官在施政報告提出的北部都會區未來發展的雄圖大計，政府有何新想法以培養或培訓人才，是問政府未來有何規劃。
President in fact my question is clearly about what new ideas the Government has to nurture or train talents in the light of the Chief Executives ambitious plans for the future development of the Northern Metropolis as set out in her Policy Address . I am asking about the future planning of the Government
局長在剛才的答覆，洋洋灑灑以8分鐘提及他以前做過的事，以前取得的成績，並未就我提出的具體質詢作答。
In his main reply just now the Secretary spent eight minutes mentioning at great length what he had done and what he had achieved in the past without giving an answer to my specific question
其實，現在我們需要了解，未來建設的北部都會區須融入大灣區，亦須配合整個國家的《十四五規劃綱要》中提出的需求，所以我們對未來在人才方面的具體需求，包括數量、質量、行業等是要作出一個評估；如果未有評估，其實政府是否需要進行調研，然後制訂一個相應、有針對性的規劃呢？
In fact we need to understand that the future Northern Metropolis must be integrated into the Greater Bay Area and also must cater for the needs of the whole country as stated in the National 14th Five - Year Plan . Hence we need to make an assessment of the specific needs in terms of talents in the future including the quantity quality industries and so on . If there is no assessment does the Government need to conduct surveys and studies and formulate a corresponding and targeted plan?
主席，現時全世界也在爭奪人才，我們看到內地和周邊很多地方都會對一些特定的專才、優才和行業提供稅務或廠房優惠，甚至會幫他們尋找住屋，又會幫助他們的子女入讀國際學校等。
President nowadays the whole world is competing for talents . We see that many places in the Mainland and the surrounding areas offer some tax concessions or concessions for setting up plants to some specific professionals talents and industries and even help them find housing and help their children attend international schools
可是，一直以來，香港也只是口講支持，但卻不干預。
However all along Hong Kong has only been paying lip service without any intervention
我看到政府最近也有一些改變，當然，我們提出了很多意見，提出政府應該向他們提供優惠，以及幫助他們在香港找尋廠房等。
I see that the Government has recently made some changes and of course we have put forward a lot of views suggesting that the Government should provide them with concessions and help them find plants in Hong Kong
我想問局長，政府會否明確說出會提供稅務優惠呢？
I would like to ask the Secretary whether the Government will explicitly say that tax concessions can be offered
主席，曾經有位青年人告訴我，對於香港發展高科技，他其實是不敢有任何幻想的。
President a young man once told me that he did not have any illusions about the development of high technology in Hong Kong
因為當年香港大力發展香港科學園時，他以為香港真的會投入大量人力和物力，真正支持高科技企業、發展高科技的事業。
Because when Hong Kong was vigorously developing the Hong Kong Science Park back then he thought that Hong Kong would really invest a lot of manpower and material resources to genuinely support high - tech enterprises and develop high - tech business
可是，當他看到數碼港和香港科學園後，他發現這些也是地產項目，只是由政府提供土地和興建，再以較便宜的價錢出租。
However when he saw the Cyberport and the Hong Kong Science Park he found out that they were also real estate projects with only the land provided and buildings constructed by the Government and the units were then rented out at a cheaper price
主席，我想問局長，他是否了解到一個情況，現時很多大學的理科學系教授都向我們表示，他們未能收錄足夠有一定水平的本地理科人才。
President I would like to ask the Secretary if he is aware of a situation . Many professors of science departments in universities have told us that they are unable to admit enough local science talents of a certain standard
原因是在中學時，學生的根基真的沒有我們那年代的中學生打得這麼穩，用了大量時間修讀通識科。
The reason is that in secondary schools students really do not have foundations as solid as those of the secondary school students of our time and have to spend a lot of time studying Liberal Studies
學生以前最少要修讀3科理科，例如物理、生物及化學；在轉制後，學生可以只修讀兩科，如果有選擇，學生都不會選3科理科。
In the past students had to take at least three science subjects such as physics biology and chemistry but following the change of the system students could choose to take only two science subjects . If given the choice students would not choose three science subjects
那些大學的理科系教授想我提出這個問題，現在好不容易沒有了那個叫作"通識科"的巨型怪獸，那 麼如何可以配合中學的所謂"必修的教育"，令那些學生可以修讀某些科目，加厚他們的理科功底，扭轉過去15年重文輕理的情況？
Those science professors of local universities want me to ask this question Now that the giant monster called Liberal Studies has been removed after much effort how can we make some adjustments to the so - called compulsory education in secondary schools so that students can take certain subjects to strengthen their science background with a view to reversing the situation where arts were overemphasized compared with science in the past 15 years?
局長作為帶動創科的人才，如何與教育局好好商討，從中學開始處理呢？
Can the Secretary as a talent to promote IT negotiate with the Education Bureau to deal with this issue from secondary schools onwards?
《行政長官2021年施政報告附篇》宣布，經考慮商界的意見及關注後，我們建議在政府財政承擔額大致不變和維持政府資助計劃年期的前提下，優化資助計劃，以便更聚焦支援中小微企，並更具針對性地協助僱主適應政策轉變。
As announced in the Chief Executives 2021 Policy Address Supplement having considered the business sectors views and concerns we propose to refine the government subsidy scheme while maintaining roughly the same amount of Governments financial commitment and the same subsidy period so as to focus more on supporting micro small and medium - sized enterprises and provide more targeted assistance to help employers adapt to the policy change
在優化資助計劃下，資助額的計算方式簡單易明，而且由於資助額將與僱主的專項儲蓄戶口結餘脫鈎，僱主可預先確定會獲得的資助金額。
Under the refined subsidy scheme the calculation of subsidy will be simpler and easier to understand . As the calculation of subsidy will be delinked from the balance of employers DSAs employers can ascertain in advance the amount of subsidy to be received
在取消"對沖"初期，我們會訂立偏低的"封頂"金額，讓僱主獲得較多資助，並有充裕的時間累積專項儲蓄戶口存款，為其長遠的遣散費/長服金支出作好準備。
During the initial years after the abolition we will set a low capped amount so that employers will receive greater support and have more time to save up in their DSAs for getting prepared to shoulder their SPLSP liabilities in the long run
二 香港年金有限公司一直積極推展有關終身年金的教育及宣傳工作，包括通過宣傳短片、不同類型展覽及講座，向目標群組推廣終身年金與長壽風險管理的概念，從而提高市民對年金產品的認識。
2 With a view to raising public awareness of annuity products the HKMC Annuity Limited HKMCA has been actively stepping up its education and publicity efforts in relation to life annuity such as promoting the concept of life annuity and longevity risk management to the target segments through different channels including promotional videos roving exhibitions and public seminars
此外，為鼓勵強積金計劃成員將累積的財富轉化成終身、保證及穩定的退休收入，香港年金公司於2021年7月推出強積金計劃成員保費折扣優惠，進一步鼓勵市民將強積金轉化成年金，為長者提供穩定收入。
Moreover in order to encourage MPF scheme members to convert their accumulated wealth into a lifelong guaranteed and steady retirement income HKMCA launched a premium discount campaign in July 2021 for MPF scheme members further encouraging the public to convert their assets under MPF into an annuity so as to provide a steady income for the elderly
三 強積金制度是本港多支柱的退休保障制度的支柱之一，與其他支柱相輔相成，目前強積金總資產值已累積超過12,000億元。
3 The MPF system being one of the pillars of the multi - pronged retirement protection framework of Hong Kong complements with other pillars thereof . The total MPF assets have been accumulated to over 1,200 billion
政府及積金局一直採取多方面措施優化強積金制度，當中最重要的改革措施是"積金易"平台項目，旨在提高強積金計劃的運作效率及降低行政成本，同時為"全自由行"及其他新的措施及功能提供所需配套及創造有利條件。
The Government and MPFA have implemented multi - faceted initiatives to enhance the MPF system with the most important initiative being the eMPF Platform Project . The eMPF Platform will enhance operational efficiency and reduce administration costs of the MPF system . It will also provide support and create favourable conditions for the implementation of full - portability and other new initiatives and functions
待"積金易"平台於2025年全面推行後，政府亦會落實為收入低於強積金計劃最低有關入息水平的人士代供5%的強積金。
As the eMPF Platform becomes fully functional in 2025 the measure of the Government paying the 5 % MPF contributions for persons whose income is below the MPF minimum relevant income level will be implemented
政府與積金局會繼續探討增加強積金投資類別及回報的可行措施，鞏固強積金滾存增值的功能。
The Government and MPFA will continue to explore feasible measures to increase the choices and investment return of MPF funds so as to strengthen the function of MPF in generating greater value to scheme members
針對越來越多計劃 成員達至退休年齡，積金局已設立名為"投資解決方案實驗室"的安排，促進強積金業界提供嶄新的退休方案及開發能滿足計劃成員在提取權益階段投資需要的強積金產品，以增強對踏入退休階段的計劃成員的支援。
As more and more scheme members have reached the retirement age MPFA has put in place an arrangement named Investment Solutions Lab to enable the MPF industry to develop new retirement solutions and MPF products that would cater for the investment needs of scheme members in the withdrawal phase in order to step up support for scheme members entering the retirement stage
行政長官在2021年施政報告中提出，政府未來的扶貧策略主要會有4方面。
In the Chief Executives 2021 Policy Address the Chief Executive pointed out that the Governments poverty alleviation strategies will focus on four areas in future
其中，在共同承擔的原則下，政府會加強強積金的退休保障功能。
Among others under the principle of shared responsibility the Government will strengthen the MPF retirement protection
首要工作是在下一個立法年度修例落實取消"對沖"。
The priority task is to take forward the abolition of the offsetting arrangement by introducing legislative amendments in the next legislative year
此外，政府也會進一步探討如何更好鼓勵市民將強積金一筆過資產轉化成退休後定期可領取的年金，為長者提供穩定收入。
Moreover the Government will further explore ways to better encourage the public to convert their one - off assets under MPF into an annuity which they can receive on a regular basis after retirement so as to provide a steady income for the elderly . The public annuity programme has been operating for about three years
公共年金運作至今約3年，現在是合適的時機啟動相關研究，我將會領導一個專責工作小組，由勞工及福利局聯同財經事務及庫務局、香港金融管理局、積金局及香港按揭證券公司等，就如何更好鼓勵市民將強積金資產轉化成年金展開研究，當中會蒐集並分析現存數據，並研究其他經濟體的同類經驗等。
It is now the opportune time to launch the said study . I will lead a dedicated working group to conduct research on the subject of better encouraging the public to convert their assets under MPF into an annuity with the joint participation of the Labour and Welfare Bureau the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau the Hong Kong Monetary Authority MPFA and the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation etc . The working group will gather and analyse data available and study similar experience in other economies
工作小組的目標是在現屆政府任期內向行政長官提交報告，提出適用於香港環境的各種可行方向，為各界持份者進行更深入討論提供基礎。
The working group aims to submit a report which will propose various feasible directions applicable to the situation of Hong Kong as the foundation of more in - depth discussion by stakeholders of all sectors to the Chief Executive within the current term of the Government
代理主席，一直以來，商界均原則上反對取消強積金"對沖"機制，同時爭取最大限度的優化方案。
Deputy President as a matter of principle the business sector has always been opposed to the abolition of the MPF offsetting mechanism and meanwhile it has been striving for a solution that offers the best refinement
我很高興政府肯聆聽和吸納商界的建議，並作出相應的承擔，令大家暫時可以鬆一口氣。
I am very glad that the Government is willing to listen to and adopt the suggestions made by the business sector and make commitments accordingly hence enabling us to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being
我的補充質詢是：如何展望未來？
My supplementary question is How will the future unfold?
尤其在大灣區融合的大政策環境之下，着手完善跨境福利的可攜性是很重要的。
Notably against the backdrop of the dominant policy of integration into the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area it is important to start improving the cross - boundary portability of welfare benefits
具體而言，當局有否就在內地港人的退休保障，以及福利金過境的問題，在大灣區層面與內地展開討論呢？
To be specific have discussions with the Mainland authorities at the level of the Greater Bay Area begun on the issues of retirement protection for Hong Kong people in the Mainland and cross - boundary portability of their welfare benefits?
當局會否盡快將廣東計劃或者一些福利計劃的安排，擴展至其他省份呢？
Will the Guangdong Scheme or some other welfare schemes be extended to other provinces as soon as possible?
以及可否擴大長者醫療券在內地的使用，以完善這群長者的退休保障？
Moreover can the use of elderly healthcare vouchers be expanded to the Mainland so as to improve the retirement protection for this group of elderly people?
代理主席，多謝議員這麼多條問題，我只能夠很簡短地回應這麼多條問題。
Deputy President I thank the Member for raising so many questions . I can only respond to so many questions in a very brief manner
在大灣區的未來發展中，特別是在香港未來的所謂1小時生活圈內，生活上的聯繫相當重要。
In the future developments of the Greater Bay Area particularly the so - called one - hour living circle around Hong Kong the interconnectedness in life is rather important
所以在退休安排方面，特別是在福利範圍內，譬如剛才議員所提的廣東及福建計劃，有一些優化措施，在施 政報告中也有提出，我們會去研究。
Therefore in respect of retirement arrangements particularly in the welfare domain such as the Guangdong and Fujian schemes mentioned earlier by Members we will study some refinement measures which are also proposed in the Policy Address
不過，至於推廣到灣區以外，或者廣東或福建省以外的省市，暫時我們未有這樣的計劃。
However as regards extending the schemes to provinces and cities outside the Greater Bay Area or outside Guangdong or Fujian Province we do not have such a plan for the time being
代理主席，如果你問香港"打工仔"有沒有退休保障，那當然是有的。
Deputy President if you ask whether there is retirement protection for wage earners in Hong Kong of course there is
但是，如果你問足不足夠，局長也心知肚明，應該是不足夠的。
However if you ask whether it is sufficient the Secretary knows only too well that it is not
現時強積金作為一個主要退休保障部分，這麼多年來當然其運作存在着很多缺點，但是政府今次肯取消這個"對沖"機制，也算是部分回應了社會的訴求。
Having been a key component of retirement protection for so many years MPF is certainly riddled with shortcomings in its operation now but the Governments current willingness to abolish this offsetting mechanism can somehow be considered a partial response to the aspirations of society
不過，時間拖得太長了，要拖到2025年。
But then again the delay until 2025 is too long
局長當然會告訴我遲到總比不到好，但是我們始終希望局長再想想辦法，是否可以盡快完成。
The Secretary will surely tell me that it is better late than never but it remains our hope that the Secretary devises ways to bring it to fruition as soon as possible
其實作為一個選項，讓"打工仔"有穩定的收入，我覺得這是正面的。
To be honest I think it is favourable as an option that enables wage earners to have a stable income
不過，問題是年金亦有一個很大的缺陷，因為我們很多"打工仔"在討論時都覺得，年金是固定收入，沒錯，但卻對通貨膨脹沒有甚麼對抗力。
However the problem is that annuities also have a major drawback because as expressed by many of our fellow wage earners during discussions annuities admittedly provide fixed incomes but offer little protection against inflation
現時內地"打工仔"的退休金都是按照通貨膨脹來調整的，但是年金本身就沒有這個機制。
At present the pensions of Mainland wage earners are all adjusted for inflation but there is no such mechanism for annuities
現在可能足夠，但是十多二十年之後可能真的不夠，到時可能是補助一半，其他便不能夠滿足全部的生活。
They may be sufficient at present but are not necessarily so in 10 to 20 years . By that time they may be sufficient to meet half but not all of the living needs
所以，我想問政府有沒有甚麼辦法填補這個漏洞或缺點，令年金真真正正成為"打工仔"可以依靠的其中一項退休保障？
Therefore I would like to ask the Government whether there is any way to fill this loophole or shortcoming so that the annuity will truly become one of the retirement protection arrangements that wage earners can rely on?
代理主席，實際上大家都明白這是其中一個方案，過往在討論我們的年金計劃時都有考慮的一個方案。
Deputy President in fact we all know that this is one of the options we have considered before when discussing our annuity scheme
不過，大家要明白，因為通脹是不能夠預知的，所以世界各地有類似建構的地方都會把例如年金的每年金額遞升1個百分點，例如2%，而不是每年按通脹率調整。
However we have to understand that since inflation is unpredictable places all over the world that have similar frameworks in place will for example increase the annual annuity amount by a percentage say 2 % instead of adjusting it annually in accordance with the inflation rate
所以，這也會納入我們日後如何優化年金方案的多重考慮。
Therefore this will also be taken into account in our multiple considerations on how to improve the annuity scheme in the future
近日有些退休人士問我，現時是否不適宜買年金，待局長的領導小組探討完強積金轉化年金的研究後，才適合考慮買？
Recently some retirees have asked me whether it is inopportune to take out an annuity at this moment unless and until the working group led by the Secretary has studied the conversion of MPF assets into annuities
代理主席，香港的退休保障制度一直不完善、不足夠，經常備受批評；政府亦不肯接受勞工團體提出的全民退休保障制度的建議，令人感到失望。
Deputy President the persistently imperfect and inadequate retirement protection system in Hong Kong has often drawn heavy criticism and it is disappointing that the Government has refused to accept the proposal put forward by labour organizations to introduce a universal retirement protection system
局長剛才提到施政報告，當中指出政府未來的扶貧策略主要有4方面，包括加強強積金的退休保障功能、落實取消"對沖"和減低強積金的管理成本、會為低收入的僱員代供強積金。
The Secretary has earlier mentioned the Policy Address which points out that the Governments poverty alleviation strategies will focus on four areas in future including strengthening the MPF retirement protection taking forward the abolition of the offsetting arrangement lowering the management cost of MPF and paying MPF contributions for low - income workers
我想問局長，政府為低收入僱員代供強積金的安排進展如何？
I wish to ask the Secretary what progress has been made on the Governments arrangement for paying MPF contributions for low - income workers
會否為家庭主婦代供強積金，以加強本港的退休保障制度？
Will the Government pay MPF contributions for housewives with a view to refining the retirement protection system in Hong Kong?
至於其他方案，坊間的意見我們是聽到的，但我們暫時未有計劃為一些沒有工作的人士一併代供強積金。
As for other options we have listened to the views of the community but for the time being we have no plan to pay MPF contributions for those who have no jobs
代理主席，吳永嘉議員提出的這項質詢是今屆最後一項口頭質詢，我亦認為提得非常及時。
Deputy President this question raised by Mr Jimmy NG is the last question seeking an oral reply in this term which I think is very timely
最近關於強積金日後如何轉為年 金的傳聞，引起很多人討論。
The recent rumour about how MPF assets would be converted to annuities in future has aroused much discussion
但是，不管怎樣，自從這個計劃宣布後，總有一些別有用心的人製造恐慌情緒。
But anyway since the announcement of this scheme there have always been some people with ulterior motives to create panic
因此，我想藉最後一項口頭質詢的機會，詢問局長可否"實牙實齒"地向公眾說明政府的想法如何？
Therefore I would like to take this opportunity of the last oral question to ask the Secretary to explain in no uncertain terms to the public what the Government thinks
因為在此恐慌下，我們現在有了《香港國安法》，有了完善的選舉辦法，希望香港平平靜靜。
Amid this panic and now that we have the National Security Law for HKSAR and an improved electoral method we hope for a calm and quiet Hong Kong
代理主席，施政報告已提到如何構思多方面的方法，盡量鼓勵"打工仔"在退休時將其強積金轉成可提供穩定收入的年金，這是一種鼓勵。
Deputy President the Policy Address has already mentioned how to devise various ways to encourage wage earners as far as possible to convert their MPF assets into annuities which can provide a stable income for their retirement . This is a kind of encouragement
坊間有些說法指政府考慮強制轉換，此情況我個人亦已表達是不可能發生的，香港人亦不會接受。
Rumours have it in the community that the Government is considering mandatory conversion but I have personally indicated that this will never be possible nor be acceptable to Hong Kong people
然而，在任何政策的討論中，這個議題是自然會出現的，但無論是特首、財經事務及庫務局局長或我個人，都已經三番四次清楚說明，"強制"不會是一個選項。
Nevertheless this issue will naturally come up in any policy discussion but the Chief Executive the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury and I myself have made it clear time and again that making it mandatory is not an option
代理主席，剛才局長說強積金是退休保障的重要支柱之一，取消"對沖"其實是不同持份者多年來討論的焦點，而年金確實可以提供具可持續性的穩定收入。
Deputy President the Secretary has earlier said that MPF is one of the important pillars of retirement protection that the abolition of the offsetting arrangement has actually been the focus of discussion among various stakeholders over the years and that annuities can indeed provide a sustainable and stable income
但是，我很想跟局長或相關的同事了解一下，提出了那麼多優化措施，這些建議亦在業界經過充分討論，部分社會人士其實擔心一個情況，就是取消對沖會否引起"炒人"熱潮？
But I would very much like to understand something from the Secretary or relevant colleagues . After so many refinement measures have been proposed which have also been thoroughly discussed by the industry some members of the community are actually worried about a particular prospect namely that of whether the abolition of the offsetting mechanism would lead to a wave of dismissals
或者對於這個安排或擔心，他有甚麼看法？
Or what is his take on this arrangement or worry?
代理主席，多謝議員再次提出這個問題，給我機會再重新說一遍。
Deputy President I thank the Member for raising this issue again and giving me the opportunity to repeat myself all over again
由於取消"對沖"的安排沒有追溯力，在法例修訂後，生效之前累積的遣散費和長服金權益仍然可以繼續"對沖"。
After the legislative amendment SP and LSP entitlements accrued before commencement of the amended legislation can still continue to be offset because the abolition of the offsetting arrangement has no retrospective effect
如果僱主在法例生效前或生效後不多久遣散員工，是沒有任何好處的，反而新聘用僱員日後累積的遣散費和長服金會更高，因為上限會增加到39萬元。
If an employer lays off an employee shortly before or after commencement of the amended legislation there is no benefit in doing so and on the contrary the future accrued SP and LSP for the new employee will be higher because of the cap being increased to 390,000
我是擔心的，因為很多僱主未必明白該道理，誤信了一些錯誤的分析或惡意謠言而解僱員工。
So if you ask me whether I am worried about the emergence of a wave of dismissals then yes I am because many employers who may not understand the reasoning would dismiss employees based on a false belief in some erroneous analysis or malicious rumours
所以，政府有責任盡量向大家解釋，為何在立法生效前或後解僱員工 是會吃虧的，讓大家明白千萬不要這樣做，因為對僱主而言，最好就是保留為他們工作已久的員工，日後不能夠"對沖"的遣散費和長服金累積承擔額將會較低。
Therefore the Government has the responsibility to explain to all as much as possible why it would be disadvantageous to dismiss employees before or after commencement of the amended legislation so that all will understand that they should never do so . The reason is that it is best for employers to retain their long - serving staff members as the cumulative commitment for SP and LSP that cannot be offset in future will be lower
代理主席，我不知道有否聽錯，我剛才進來時好像聽到局長說，強制的事情香港人不會接受。
Deputy President I am not sure if I heard it wrong but when I came in just now I heard the Secretary say that anything mandatory would be unacceptable to Hong Kong people
代理主席，我們進行任何政策研究、分析，到最後作出決定，是需要考慮所有可能性的。
Deputy President when we conduct any policy study or analysis we need to consider all possibilities before finally making a decision
不過，我剛才的說法是，如果強制員工在退休時須把全部強積金變成年金，我暫時看不到現時香港社會人士會接受這項方案。
However what I have just said is that if it is mandatory for employees to convert all their MPF assets into annuities upon retirement I do not see for the time being that the Hong Kong community will accept this option
所以，這個可能性我們是不會考慮的。
Therefore we will not consider this possibility
我想追問局長，過去我們做了很多防疫措施和安排，有時候政府也會說找不到人，又說不知道怎樣才可以識別出屬於某個範圍的人士等。
I would like to ask the Secretary a supplementary question . Despite the many preventive measures and arrangements that we have made in the past sometimes the Government would say that it is unable to find these people and that it does not know how to identify those who belong to a certain category so on and so forth
其實，既然今次已經可以幫助低收入人士供強積金，有了資料庫，會否好好加以運用，在他日推出很多福利和支援時，能夠有辦法識別出這些人士呢？
In fact now that it can help low - income workers with MPF contributions and have a database will the Government make good use of it as a means to identify these people when rolling out many welfare benefits and supports in future?
即是好好運用這個資料庫，我想問局長會否有這方面的考慮，既然今次已經可以幫助他們代供強積金？
That is to say will the Secretary consider making good use of this database given that currently he can already help them with MPF contributions?
所以，有關資料本身就是現時制度內已存在的，並不是由政府擁有。
Therefore the relevant data itself is already in the existing system and is not owned by the Government
今天，這資料亦不是政府所擁有。
Even today this data is not owned by the Government
在過往討論防疫抗疫基金時，在特備"保就業"計劃中，我們也是利用強積金受託人的有關資料庫，而這個資料庫並不是由政 府擁有的，仍然需要有關僱主授權其受託人，才能夠把有關資料提交，從而申請"保就業"計劃，所以問題不在於政府是否擁有和可否運用有關資料。
When we discussed the Anti - epidemic Fund in the past for the specifically drawn - up Employment Support Scheme we also made use of the relevant database owned by MPF trustees rather than by the Government hence still requiring the employers concerned to authorize their trustees in order for the relevant data to be submitted for the application to the Employment Support Scheme . Therefore the question is not whether the Government owns the relevant data nor whether it can use that data
這是本屆立法會最後一項口頭質詢。
This is the last question seeking an oral reply in this term of the Legislative Council
中國人有"養兒防老，積穀防饑"的智慧；"養兒防老"現時已經越來越困難，因為青年人也照顧不了自己，但"積穀防饑"這智慧仍然有用。
The Chinese have the wisdom of bringing up children to provide against old age and storing up grain to provide against famine . Bringing up children to provide against old age is becoming more and more difficult nowadays because young people cannot even take care of themselves but the wisdom of storing up grain to provide against famine is still useful
對於中國人，很多時候，只要相信他們，有90%的人都懂得自行處理，但為了小部分人，我們多年來被迫實行"強迫金"。
As far as Chinese people are concerned it is often the case that 90 % of them know how to take care of things on their own as long as they are trusted . By contrast it is just for the sake of a small number of people that we have been forced to implement the Dictatory Provident Fund for many years
