我建議政府加強向大灣區企業宣傳及推出配套措施，吸引更多大灣區以至內地不同地區的企業來香港發行綠色債券，亦推動香港成為大灣區的綠色金融樞紐。
I suggest the Government should strengthen publicity and introduce coupling measures to enterprises in GBA . This would attract more enterprises in GBA and different parts of the Mainland to issue green bonds in Hong Kong and promote Hong Kong as the green financial hub in GBA
政府也應繼續推動更多大灣區機構，善用香港的資本市場作為綠色投資及認證，以及支持大灣區綠色企業及項目。
The Government should also continue to encourage more institutions in GBA to make good use of our capital market for green investment and certification as well as support green enterprises and projects in GBA
在推動創新科技方面，我們亦樂見預算案提出分兩年向創新及科技基金注資95億元，全力推動港深創新及科技園的發展，以及繼續推動香港科學園擴建及興建數碼港第五期等。
In respect of promoting innovation and technology we are also pleased to see that the Budget proposes to inject 9.5 billion into the Innovation and Technology Fund over two years to fully promote the development of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park as well as continue to promote the Science Park expansion and Cyberport 5 development
我們相信，這些措施能夠為香港經濟帶來長遠裨益，為未來發展鋪路。
We believe that these measures will bring long - term benefits to our economy and pave the way for future development
有部分中產人士向我反映，他們對於政府縮減個人薪俸稅及個人入息課稅的寬免額感到失望。
Some middle - class people have reflected to me their disappointment at the tax reduction proposed by the Government for salaries tax and tax under personal assessment
我希望"財爺"可以更多關顧中產人士的需要。
I hope FS can take better care of the needs of the middle class
代理主席，雖然最近疫情有所緩和，但過去一年多受到社會運動及疫情影響，加上疫情尚未過去，經濟下行壓力仍然存在。
Deputy President although the epidemic situation has recently eased the impact of the social movements and the epidemic situation in the past year or so still persists and the epidemic situation is yet to be over thereby putting downward pressures on the economy
以旅遊業為例，旅遊業為香港支柱產業之一，過去一年受疫情打擊而陷入停工停市。
Taking the tourism industry as an example as one of Hong Kongs pillar industries the tourism industry was hit hard by the epidemic last year and business and operation have been suspended
雖然政府投放資源推廣本地景點，但旅遊業情況特殊，有別於飲食、零售等行業，在疫情下仍有小量生意，旅遊業簡直沒有生意。
Even though the Government has invested resources to promote local attractions the situation of the tourism industry is special . Unlike industries such as the catering and retail industries which still have scant business during the epidemic the tourism industry simply has no business at all
政府是否知道何謂沒有生意？
Does the Government know what it means to have no business at all?
老闆每月白交租金及自掏腰包向員工發薪留住員工，而員工不是每天工作時間減少數小時，而是簡直"無工開"。
The bosses are paying rents in vain each month . They are also paying salaries out of their own pockets to retain the employees who do not simply have their daily working hours reduced by few hours but actually have nothing to do
所以，我認為政府應為受疫情重創的行業，包括旅遊業提供新一輪"保就業"支援，加快疫後經濟復蘇。
Therefore I think the Government should provide support for industries such as the tourism industry which have been hard hit by the epidemic under a new round of the Employment Support Scheme to speed up post - epidemic economic recovery
此外，在支援失業人士方面，經民聯多次爭取成立失業援助金，向失業人士每月發放不少於8,000元的現金支援。
In addition regarding support for the unemployed BPA has repeatedly strived for establishing unemployment assistance to provide a monthly subsidy of not less than 8,000 in cash to each unemployed person
可惜，政府始終不肯接受。
Unfortunately the Government has been reluctant to accept that
"財爺"運用權限撥出150億元，為失業人士設立百分百擔保個人特惠貸款計劃，我認為這點值得肯定，因為從政者就是要用他的政治智慧，擺脫制度上的條條框框，盡力幫助香港解決問題。
FS exercised his authority to allocate 15 billion to set up a 100 % Personal Loan Guarantee Scheme for the unemployed . This is worthy of recognition because a person engaged in politics should use his political wisdom to cut the institutional red tapes and try his best to help Hong Kong solve various problems
代理主席，經民聯一直爭取早日恢復通關，令跨境人流及經濟活動回復正常。
Deputy President BPA has been striving for early resumption of cross - boundary travel so that cross - border flow of people and economic activities can return to normal
如果無法通關，所有的鴻圖大計都是空談。
If cross - boundary travel cannot be resumed all impressive plans will become empty talk
我們要求特區政府向中央政府爭取，容許已接種新冠疫苗的市民免檢疫通關。
We urge the SAR Government to strive for the Central Governments pledge to allow people who have been vaccinated against COVID - 19 to cross the border without being subject to quarantine
香港總商會也呼籲商界鼓勵員工積極接種，保護自己、保護家人，幫助香港早日消除疫情，重振經濟，改善民生。
HKGCC also calls on the business sector to encourage employees to actively receive vaccines to protect themselves and their families so as to enable Hong Kong to put an end to the epidemic situation revitalize the economy and improve peoples livelihood as early as possible
最後，儘管香港在過去一年面對種種挑戰，我很高興看到財政司司長回應企業及市民燃眉之急，亦為香港未來作出長遠規劃。
Last but not least in spite of the fact that Hong Kong encountered various challenges last year I am really happy to see that FS has responded to the pressing needs of enterprises and the public and made long - term plans for the future of Hong Kong
隨着全球經濟有望在今年稍後復蘇，加上現時很多地方都開始接種疫苗，我期望這些措施能夠成為香港經濟復蘇的重要動力。
With the hope that global economic recovery will be achieved later this year adding that many places have implemented vaccination I hope these measures would become an important driving force for our economic recovery
主席，香港先後受"黑暴"及疫情影響，不但經濟一落千丈，更需要動用超過3,000億元救災，令公共財政面對相當龐大的壓力。
President after the successive blows from black - clad violence and the pandemic Hong Kong suffered a drastic economic decline and has to spend over 300 billion for disaster relief . This has put considerable pressure on public finance
在今年如此惡劣的環境下，財政預算案仍然可以做到"有糖派"、扶貧、協助中小型企業，並承諾不減民生開支。
This year under such adverse circumstances the Budget still manages to hand out candies alleviate poverty assist the small and medium enterprises and undertake not to reduce livelihood - related spending
此外，更提出5,000元消費券及疫後重振經濟的方案，為香港恢復繁榮作好準備。
Moreover it even puts forth the proposals for the electronic consumption voucher of 5,000 and the revival of the economy in the aftermath of the pandemic such that Hong Kong is properly prepared to resume prosperity
目前，本港只有9,027億元財政儲備，而赤字估計在2021年仍會有2,000多億元，在2021-2022年度則仍然會有1,000億元，並且往後4年也會有赤字，情況令人憂慮。
At present the fiscal reserves of Hong Kong are only 902.7 billion . While the deficit is expected to stand at 200 - odd billion in 2021 it will still be 100 billion in 2021 - 2022 . Moreover there will also be deficits in the next four years
事實上，現時世界上不少地方的疫情均出現反彈。
This is worrisome . In fact the pandemic has rebounded in many places around the world
如果世界經濟不能夠回到正軌，香港便會受到拖累。
If the world economy cannot get back on the right track Hong Kong will also be affected
因此，政府絕不可掉以輕心，應該要積極籌劃振興經濟的方案。
Therefore the Government should by no means take the matter lightly . Instead it should proactively prepare proposals for reviving the economy
我亦不希望財政赤字會變成香港的新常態。
Also I do not want fiscal deficit to become Hong Kongs new normal
香港要擺脫赤字，重新發展，故預算案便提出了有關疫後經濟恢復的建議，具體包括發展數碼經濟、發放消費券，以及支持旅遊及大型海內外宣傳推廣活動等，均屬針對香港目前情況的良方。
Hong Kong has to get rid of the deficit and set out afresh for development . Hence the Budget proposes to revive the economy in the aftermath of the pandemic and the specific proposals include developing digital economy issuing consumption vouchers and supporting tourism as well as large - scale publicity and promotional campaign both at home and abroad . All these are sound ideas targeting at Hong Kongs present situation
我支持並希望可以盡快落實全部建議，尤其是消費券，因為對市民大眾而言，5,000元消費券始終最實際。
I support all the proposals and hope that they the issuance of consumption vouchers in particular can be implemented as soon as possible . After all the consumption vouchers of 5,000 are the most useful to the general public
我希望政府可以吸納多方意見，做得快一點，亦要做得更好，既能讓市民及早受惠，亦可達到刺激市道的目的。
I hope that the Government can take views from different parties act swiftly and efficiently so that not only members of the public can benefit earlier but can also achieve the purpose of stimulating the market
對香港而言，這是百利而無一害的，保險業亦樂見其成，全力支持。
This will do all good but no harm to Hong Kong . The insurance industry is happy to see this happen and will render its support in full strength
主席，我明白沒有人喜歡加稅，但面對現時嚴重的財政赤字，又要繼續照顧民生所需，選擇增加一些對民生影響較小的項目的稅率實在是沒有辦法中的辦法。
President I understand that no one wants a tax rise . However at present in the face of a serious fiscal deficit and the need to keep looking after peoples livelihood the option of increasing the rates of certain tax items with smaller livelihood impact is actually the last resort when there is no other choice
我希望政府可與業界溝通以作解釋，以及能夠協助業界發展和轉型。
I hope the Government can communicate with and explain to the industry and provide assistance in its development and restructuring
事實上，面對目前的經濟困難，社會各界都應該同渡時艱。
Actually in the face of present economic hardship all walks of society should tide over the difficult times together
然而，我同時希望在困難過後，政府能夠為各行各業設想如何在疫情後令他們回復生機。
However I also hope that when the hardship is over the Government will consider what can be done for all trades and professions to help them revitalize after the pandemic
今次疫情亦令到市民更加注重衞生，更多市民願意過健康的生活。
The current pandemic has brought heightened awareness to hygiene and more people are willing to lead a healthy life
事實證明，健康的生活可以減低患病率。
As proven by the facts healthy living can reduce the morbidity rate
過去每逢流感高峰期，醫院例必被"迫爆"，今次疫情期間情況卻大為改善。
Previously whenever there was a surge of influenza hospitals would inevitably be overcrowded . However the situation has been greatly improved during the current pandemic
此外，亦有相熟的醫生告訴我，過去一年求診的市民人數大幅減少。
Besides as told by some medical practitioners whom I know well the number of people seeking medical consultation reduced significantly in the previous year
所以，我曾建議財政司司長吸收經驗，鼓勵市民繼續過健康生活。
Therefore I did advise the Financial Secretary to learn from this experience and encourage members of the public to keep leading a healthy life
長遠而言，這亦可大幅減少醫療開支及提高市民老年的生活質素，一舉兩得。
In the long run this can achieve the dual objectives of significantly reducing medical expenses and enhancing the quality of life of people in their senior age
我很高興預算案提出了體育及康樂設施計劃、提升足球場設施計劃、優化郊野公園設施等措施，讓市民可以多運動、多行山。
I am very glad that the Budget has put forward measures such as the plan for sports and recreational facilities the plan for upgrading football pitches and enhancement of facilities in country parks so that people can get more involved in sports and hiking
事實上，現時已有很多市民愛上行山，希望他們不要只有"三分鐘熱度"。
In fact many people are fond of going hiking now and I hope that their enthusiasm will not last for just a while
我相信，大家已深切體會到健康的重要，所以政府應該持續大力提倡健康生活。
I believe everyone is already fully aware of the importance of healthiness so the Government should keep vigorously promoting healthy living
主席，以下我想集中講述保險業的問題。
President up next I would like to focus my speech on issues relating to the insurance industry
事實上，中港經濟息息相關，所以目前變相封關的狀態影響到各行各業。
In fact given the deep economic ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland the present state of de facto closure of the boundary has a bearing on various trades and professions
恢復通關對經濟至為重要，因此，業界很希望政府可以做好防疫工作，盡快將香港變為低風險地區及恢復與內地的經濟往來。
Resumption of cross - boundary activities is of paramount importance to the economy . Hence the industry hopes so much that the Government can do a good job of epidemic prevention to turn Hong Kong into a low - risk place and resume its economic exchange with the Mainland as soon as possible
此外，保險業界亦希望可以早日進軍大灣區，開拓內地廣闊的市場。
Moreover the insurance industry also hopes that it can make its way into the Greater Bay Area GBA soon and explore the gigantic market in the Mainland
行政長官在去年施政報告中宣布，大灣區香港保險售後服務中心的建議獲得內地政府的支持，業界一直等候公布詳情。
The Chief Executive announced in her Policy Address last year that the proposal on after - sales service centres for Hong Kong insurance in GBA was supported by the Mainland Government and the industry has been waiting for the announcement of further details since then
可惜，由於疫情關係，磋商工作難免受到影響。
Regrettably owing to the pandemic negotiations were inevitably affected
不過，近日終於有好消息。
Nevertheless there is finally good news lately
我向財庫局局長提出書面質詢，他回覆指廣東、香港、澳門和深圳的保險業監管機構已於1月開會，深入討論服務中心及香港車輛"等效先認"的建議，希望今年內有進展。
In response to my written question the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury pointed out that regulatory bodies of the insurance industries in Guangdong Hong Kong Macao and Shenzhen met in January for an in - depth discussion on the proposals relating to the service centres and the unilateral recognition for Hong Kong vehicles and hopefully progress would be made within this year
我希望此事不僅有進展，而是能夠在今年內落實，讓業界可以在疫情平息後正式推動大灣區業務。
I do not merely hope that progress will be made on the proposals but it is also hoped that they can be implemented within this year to enable the industry to formally take forward their businesses in GBA when the pandemic has subsided
我希望有關部門可以快馬加鞭。
I hope that the departments concerned can proceed as expeditiously as possible
除了服務中心，業界亦一直爭取在內地銷售保險產品。
In addition to the service centres the industry has also been striving for the sale of insurance products in the Mainland
這個問題涉及更多複雜的法律監管及資金問題。
This involves even more complex issues concerning the regulatory regimes and capital
財庫局回應我的質詢時亦有正面消息，表示隨着"跨境理財通"即將正式啟動，政府會參考相關經驗，與內地當局探討跨境銷售香港保險產品的建議。
In response to my question FSTB also provided some positive information . It replied that with the upcoming launch of the cross - boundary Wealth Management Connect the Government would take reference of relevant experience and further explore with Mainland authorities the proposal of facilitating cross - boundary sale of Hong Kong insurance products
為推動國際保險業務的發展，政府做了大量工作，包括推動海事及專項保險等。
In order to push forward the development of international insurance business a lot has been done by the Government which include promoting marine insurance and specialty insurance etc
對此，保險界表示歡迎。
The insurance industry welcomes them
這份預算案提出為期兩年的保險相連證券資助先導計劃，以吸引國際保險機構來香港發行保險相連證券，是非常好的事。
This Budget proposes a two - year Pilot Insurance - linked Securities Grant Scheme to attract international insurance organizations to issue insurance - linked securities in Hong Kong which is very good
這項計劃會資助保險機構的相關前期費用，例如法律顧問及核數師費用，上限為1,200萬元，條件是保險相連證券的發行額不少於2億5,000萬元，並須聘用香港的服務供應商。
This pilot scheme will provide subsidies to cover the relevant upfront costs of insurance organizations eg . fees provided to legal advisers and auditors subject to a cap of 12 million . The eligibility criteria of the pilot scheme are that the issuance size of the insurance - linked securities is not less than 250 million and the issuer is required to engage Hong Kong service providers
我相信，此計劃可以吸引到機構來香港投資，對保險業、金融業及相關專業都會有很大幫助。
I believe the pilot scheme can attract organizations to come and invest in Hong Kong which will be of very great help to the insurance industry financial industry and related professions
再者，能吸引到更多國際投資者前來，亦有助香港保持國際化，對整體都是好事。
Furthermore if more international investors can be attracted to Hong Kong it can also help us maintain our internationality and this is good in an overall sense
最後，我想談發展保險科技的問題。
Lastly I would like to talk about issues related to the development of insurance technology
這次疫情嚴重打擊保險業，除了國內客戶不能來港投保，亦因為保險業的傳統是以面對面方式進行銷售，但疫情下大家避免有接觸，致令銷售難以進行。
The current pandemic has dealt a severe blow to the insurance industry . Not only that Mainland customers are unable to come and take out insurance in Hong Kong; against the background that sales in the insurance industry are traditionally conducted with a face - to - face approach sales are difficult to come by when people avoid contact with each other amidst the pandemic
面對經營困難，業界都很努力將危機化為契機，努力發展遙距銷售平台。
In the face of operational difficulties the industry has worked very hard to turn crises into chances by striving to develop remote sales platforms
此外，我們得到保監局的全力協助，批准一些經過深思熟慮、並透過既能保護客戶而保險公司亦能做到生意的方法進行銷售的產品，包括醫保計劃及延期年金等，市場的反應非常好。
Moreover we received full assistance from IA such that it approved some deliberate products of which sales are conducted via means that cannot only protect customers but also give business practicability to insurance companies . Such products include health insurance plans and deferred annuities . They have received an excellent market response
這次經驗令業界醒覺到銷售模式必須與時並進，要引用更多新科技。
The experience awakened the industry to the fact that sales practices must keep pace with the times and adopt more novel technologies
由於這方面涉及很多法律及合規的問題，監管機構的配合非常重要，並非業界單方面可以做到。
Given that the proposal involves many legal and compliance issues support from regulatory bodies is very important for they cannot be dealt with by the industry alone
我希望政府、財庫局及保監局繼續努力推進此事，因為對香港整體而言是一件好事。
I hope that the Government FSTB and IA can keep working hard to take forward the task as it is beneficial to Hong Kong as a whole
多年來花費了一大筆錢，但得到甚麼成效呢？
A lot of money has been spent over the years but what results have been achieved?
司長也點頭示意支持我的建議。
FS also nodded to indicate support for my suggestion
以"明日大嶼"為例，有內地官員曾問我，整個大灣區的面積是56,000平方公里，我們為何要花那麼多錢，興建面積只有約10平方公里的基建......
Taking the Lantau Tomorrow Vision as an example a Mainland official once asked me why we had to spend so much money on an infrastructure project covering an area of only about 10 sq km when the entire Greater Bay Area has an area of 56 000 sq km
主席，我感謝財政司司長陳茂波在香港仍處於艱難時刻，在2月發表這份甚為困難的財政預算案。
President I wish to thank Financial Secretary FS Paul CHAN for delivering such a difficult Budget in February when Hong Kong was still in a difficult time
"財爺"指預算案的重點是穩經濟、紓民困，透過1,200億元的逆周期措施，紓解經濟下行及新冠疫情打擊帶來的壓力。
According to FS the Budget focuses on stabilizing the economy and relieving peoples burden . It aims to alleviate the pressure caused by the economic downturn and the Coronavirus Disease COVID - 19 epidemic through the introduction of counter - cyclical measures costing 120 billion
當然，大家比較關注的是5,000元消費券。
Of course people are more concerned about the 5,000 consumption vouchers
民建聯對這份預算案的整體評價是"振興經濟有所承擔，支援失業仍有不足"。
The general comment of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB on this Budget is It is committed to stimulating the economy but deficient in unemployment support
主席，香港要解決的結構性社會矛盾有兩大類別：一是貧窮，二是住屋。
President there are two major structural contradictions in Hong Kong society that need to be resolved one is poverty and the other is housing
正如我去年就撥款條例草案發言時提到，預算案是社會資源再分配的良好契機。
As mentioned in my speech on the Appropriation Bill last year the budget is a good chance for redistribution of social resources
大家都明白，政府在防疫抗疫期間推出各項紓困措施，已動用接近3,000億元。
We are all aware of the fact the Government has spent nearly 300 billion on various relief measures during the anti - epidemic period
政府資源不是無限的，但部分措施仍有改善空間，特別是支援失業及就業不足人士方面的措施。
While the Governments resources are not unlimited there is still room for improvement in some of the measures especially in supporting the unemployed and underemployed
主席，我作為民建聯的人力事務發言人，首先要談談預算案在失業支援方面的不足之處。
President as the speaker of DAB on manpower issues I will first talk about the inadequacies of the Budget in terms of unemployment support
政府不肯設立多位議員贊同的短期失業援助金，我相信大家都感到失望，這亦加速更多家庭邁向貧窮邊緣。
The Government is unwilling to introduce short - term unemployment assistance that has been agreed by a number of Members . I believe Members are disappointed . This decision may also push more families to the brink of poverty
主席，新一季的失業率將於明天公布。
President the unemployment rate for the latest quarter will be announced tomorrow
有學者表示，7.2%的失業率有可能再上升。
According to some academics the unemployment rate of 7.2 % is likely to rise further
失業率7.2%，即26萬人失業，這不是冰冷的數字，而是涉及很多家庭；就業不足率也升至4%，即154,000人就業不足，是17年以來的新高。
The unemployment rate of 7.2 % means 260 000 persons are unemployed . It is not a cold figure but represents quite a number of families . The underemployment rate has also risen to 4 % meaning that 154 000 persons are underemployed and is a new high in 17 years
我上星期在石硤尾看到一間食物銀行的門口有幾十人在排隊，當中有不少年輕人和年輕家庭。
Last week I saw several dozens of people queuing at the entrance of a food bank in Shek Kip Mei . Quite a number of them were young persons and young families
財務委員會通過150億元的貸款撥款後，我們收到市民來電查詢何時可以申請，希望局長可以盡快交代。
After the Finance Committee had approved the allocation of 15 billion for the loan we received public enquiries about when PLGS will be open for application . We hope that the Secretary will give an account as soon as practicable
然而，公屋供應年年不達標，對於3年"上樓"這虛無縹緲的說話，市民都不知應否相信。
However with the supply of public housing falling short of the target every year people do not know whether they should believe the vague promise of maintaining the waiting time of three years for public housing units
"劏房"的租金已經很貴，為何還可以有這個加幅？
Given that the rent of subdivided units is already very high why should this rate of increase be allowed?
2018年的第一輪"樓宇更新大行動"，接獲的合資格申請共涵蓋479幢樓宇；至今已兩年多，但479幢樓宇只完成了4幢。
In the first round of Operation Building Bright in 2018 the eligible applications received involved a total of 479 buildings; it has been more than two years since then but only four of the 479 buildings have the repair works completed
比較過往多份預算案，這份預算案特別難以草擬。
Compared with the previous budgets this one was especially difficult to draft
過往在私樓預測方面，他一般以未來5年作為一個周期。
In his previous forecast for private housing he usually used five years as a cycle
代理主席，2017-2018年度預算案的演辭內容如下："根據政府已知'熟地'上已展開或將會展開的私人住宅項目，初步估計，未來5年私人住宅單位的每年平均落成量約20,300個，比過去5年的每年平均落成量增加約七成。
Deputy President the 2017 - 2018 Budget Speech reads Based on the preliminary assessment of private residential developments known to have started or to be started on disposed sites the private sector will on average produce about 20 300 private residential units each year in the next five years representing an increase of about 70 per cent over the yearly average in the past five years
究竟這5年來，是否每年都可以落成20,300個單位？
Were there 20 300 completed units in each of the past five years?
當中除2021年為預測數字外，其他4年均為實數。
These are all actual figures except for 2021 which is a projected figure
代理主席，我想說明一點。
Deputy President I want to make one point clear
雖然發展局不是主管房屋，亦不是決定私樓供應目標的政策局，但發展局是私樓供應的實際主責部門。
Although the Development Bureau is not the Policy Bureau overseeing housing matters or determining the target of private housing supply it is an actual government agency in charge of private housing supply
所有私樓，包括透過舊樓重建、改劃私人土地及購買政府土地興建的項目，均由發展局主管。
All private housing from sources including urban renewal development projects private rezoned sites and the sale of government sites are under the purview of the Development Bureau
訂立開始施工日期、樓宇高度、地積比率、審批圖則，以至出售樓花、發出入伙紙、滿意紙等，均由發展局轄下的規劃署、地政總署和屋宇署3個部門負責。
The Planning Department the Lands Department and the Buildings Department under the Development Bureau are duty bound to set commencement dates of works impose building height and plot ratio restrictions approve building plans pre - sale uncompleted flats as well as issue occupation permits and Certificates of Compliance
運輸及房屋局掌管房屋政策，就私樓供應鏈的角色而言，只是規管售樓書，而發展局則掌管整個私樓供應，其實是一環扣一環。
The Transport and Housing Bureau oversees the housing policy and plays only the role of regulating sales brochures in the private housing supply chain whereas the Development Bureau is in charge of the entire private housing supply . They are actually links in a causal chain
結果是落後，大落後。
The result is that we are lagging far far behind
大家試想一想，財政司司長是發展局的上司，市民怎會不指責他"估錯數"？
Think about this FS is the supervisor of the Development Bureau so how can the public not blame him for making wrong estimates?
我記得，"財爺"在2017年上任司長一職前，即擔任發展局局長時，曾表明政府會重掌土地供應的主導權，而司長亦正領導土地供應督導委員會。
As I recall before FS assumed office in 2017 when he was in the post of the Secretary for Development he made it clear that the Government would resume the lead in land supply and FS is currently chairing the Steering Committee on Land Supply
然而，自發展局局長在2013年取消"勾地表"以來，政府其實一直無法完全主導土地供應，而情況有每況愈下的趨勢。
However so far since the Secretary for Development abolished the Application List system in 2013 the Government has failed to fully take the lead in land supply and the situation is deteriorating
代理主席，在2013-2014年度至2016-2017年度，即"財爺"擔任發展局局長的時期，政府控制的土地供應，即政府賣地、市區重建局招標及鐵路物業發展項目等，平均都佔總土地供應量的八成半左右。
Deputy President during the period from 2013 - 2014 to 2016 - 2017 when FS was the then Secretary for Development the land supply under government control from different sources including the Governments Land Sale Programme projects tendered by the Urban Renewal Authority and railway property development projects averaged about 85 % of the total land supply
然而，他在升任財政司司長後的4年間，政府控制的土地供應，已縮減至只佔整體供應的六成半。
However during the four years after his promotion to the post of FS land supply under government control has shrunk to only 65 % of the total supply
