我認為工業不一定是硬件，不一定要製造出實物；工業可以是一種文化和承傳，也可以是一種工藝。
In my opinion an industry does not have to be hardware nor does it have to produce physical objects; it can be a culture an inheritance or a craft
所以，我希望大家支持我的修正案，讓藝術家可以專注、"入魂"，發展"匠心工業"。
Therefore I hope Members will support my amendment with a view to enabling artists to concentrate on what they do and put their souls into their works as well as developing craftsmanship as an industry
香港絕對有潛力轉化為一個文化大熔爐，匯聚世界各地最頂尖的藝術家，互相交流啟發。
Hong Kong absolutely has the potential to transform itself into a cultural melting pot to bring together top - notch artists from around the world for exchanges and mutual enlightenment
主席，我首先感謝何啟明議員提出"全面檢討勞工法例，改善勞工權益"的議案。
President first of all I would like to thank Mr HO Kai - ming for proposing the motion Conducting a comprehensive review of labour legislation to improve labour rights and interests
對於其原議案及所有修正案，工黨均會支持。
The Labour Party supports both the original motion and all the amendments to it
不過，在議會上提出這些議員議案，第一，沒有法律效力；第二，其實只是空談。
However such a Members motion proposed in the Council amounts to first no legislative effect and second empty talk indeed
事實上，這次九巴工潮最能清楚顯示今天"打工仔女"面對的情況。
As a matter of fact the KMB strike can most clearly illustrate the circumstances faced by the working class nowadays
在社會壓力下，九巴玩弄伎倆，車長的薪金本是底薪加獎勵金，現把獎勵金撥入底薪，取消獎勵金，便稱為加薪，當作改善待遇。
Amid pressure from society KMB played tricks to shift the bonus to the basic salary two components originally forming the salary of drivers and abolished the bonus calling such an act a pay increase and improvement of remunerations
此外，我們關注到工時那麼長，不利車長的職安健。
Moreover our concern is that the long working hours are unfavourable to the occupational safety and health of drivers
八小時工作，8小時休息，8小時餘暇來陪伴家人和發展自己的興趣，這個主張我想在上世紀已提出。
Eight hours of work eight hours of rest and eight hours of leisure for spending time with families and development of ones interest―I think such a belief was introduced in the last century
事實上，有關工時限制的法例在國際上已訂立超過100年。
In fact legislation restricting working hours has been enacted internationally for over 100 years
這凸顯了正如陸頌雄議員的修正案所述"強資本，弱勞工"的情況。
It underscores as stated in Mr LUK Chung - hungs amendment the situation of strong capitalists and weak workers
這同樣是荒天下之大謬，罷工要在工作以外的時間進行，不是吧？
It is just equally preposterous . A strike has to be conducted outside working hours?
罷工要首先得到僱主同意，又怎稱得上是罷工呢？
A strike needs the employers prior consent? . Again how can it be called a strike?
回歸後，臨時立法會立即廢法，至今我們仍然無法取回集體談判權。
After the reunification the Provisional Legislative Council immediately repealed it and to date we have not been able to regain such a right to collective bargaining
政府明知現時所有政策也向僱主傾斜，便應撥亂反正，將基本權益交回勞方，便是這麼簡單。
Knowing full well that currently all policies tilt towards employers the Government should right the wrong and return the basic right to employees . It is as simple as that
最後，在餘下那麼少的發言時間中，我呼籲建制派，尤其是香港工會聯合會，你們操控了絕大部分的選票，有能力跟政府議價，不要只在這些議案辯論中討論，要實實在在取回集體談判權......
At last in the remaining little speaking time I implore the pro - establishment camp especially the Federation of Trade Unions which controls most of the votes and has the bargaining power to negotiate with the Government to not only engage in discussion in the debate of such motions but realistically reclaim the right to collective bargaining
因此，我希望你作出明確的指引，究竟我可否就我的修正案發言......
Hence I hope you can give a clear guidance as to whether I should speak on my amendment 
梁美芬議員，請發言。
Dr Priscilla LEUNG please speak
這不是規程問題。
This is not a point of order
我發言提到支持藝術文創產業......
I was speaking on supporting the arts cultural and creative industries 
主席，我希望你想清楚。
President I hope you can think more carefully
昔日，我和他都是民主黨成員，今天我們已經離開民主黨，他做了局長，我則做了立法會議員，很高興仍有機會與進步陣營的朋友一起討論勞工政策。
We used to be members of the Democratic Party and we both left the Democratic Party . He has taken up the office of a Bureau Director whereas I have become a Member of the Legislative Council . I am very glad that I still have the opportunity to discuss labour policies with a friend in the progressive camp
當然，我們日後還會有很多機會與局長繼續在審議政策上切磋。
Of course there will be many more opportunities for us to further exchange views with the Secretary in the scrutiny of policies in future
主席，今天我們討論"全面檢討勞工法例，改善勞工權益"的議案，議案本來有5項修正案，但是，對於劉小麗議員提出的修正案，由於政府取消她的議員資格，因而無法在議會正式提出。
President today we are here to discuss the motion on Conducting a comprehensive review of labour legislation to improve labour rights and interests . Originally five amendments have been proposed to the motion . But with regard to the amendment proposed by Dr LAU Siu - lai given her disqualification from office as a Member by the Government her amendment cannot be formally proposed in this Council
因此，我希望在開始發言時用少許時間，讀出前議員劉小麗就這項議案提出的修正案："本會促請政府以捍衞勞工權益為首要任務，並盡快全面檢討及修訂各項與勞工事宜有關的法例，包括提高法定最低工資水平及就最低工資水平實施'一年一檢'、訂定標準工時以取代上屆政府建議的'合約工時'，以及增加法定侍產假至7天，以確保全港'打工仔女'均享有基本生活保障及工作與生活平衡。
Therefore before I come to my speech proper I would like to spend some time reading out the amendment proposed by former Member LAU Siu - lai to this motion That this Council urges the Government to make safeguarding labour rights and interests its priority task and expeditiously conduct a comprehensive review of and make amendments to the various legislation relating to labour matters including raising the statutory minimum wage level and implementing review of the minimum wage level once every year stipulating standard working hours in lieu of contractual working hours proposed by the last - term Government and increasing the statutory paternity leave to seven days so as to ensure that all wage earners in Hong Kong can enjoy protection of a basic living and work - life balance
" 主席，上屆特首梁振英曾經作出大量與勞工權益有關的競選承諾，但最終完全未有就有關議題提出任何真正能夠解決勞工問題的政策方向。
President the last Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying had made a large number of election pledges relating to labour rights and interests but it eventually turned out that he has completely failed to suggest any policy direction that can truly resolve workers problems
我必須指出，香港的勞工法例本來已經非常落後。
I must point out that the labour legislation in Hong Kong is already most outdated
梁振英政府更提出"合約工時"的方案，與真正保障勞工權益背道而馳。
The LEUNG Chun - ying Administration even put forward the proposal of contractual working hours which is a far cry from affording workers genuine protection of their rights and interests
如果政府繼續對於香港勞工法例的問題採取保守態度，無視香港市民，尤其是基層"打工仔女"面對的切切實實的生活問題，市民的生活將會難以得到改善。
If the Government goes on taking a conservative attitude towards the problem concerning the labour legislation in Hong Kong and turning a blind eye to the realistic livelihood problems faced by the people of Hong Kong especially the grass - roots wage earners it would be difficult for improvement to be made to the peoples lot
主席，立法會即將討論政府的財政預算案。
President the Legislative Council is going to discuss the Governments budget soon
對於一些比較全面的社會福利保障計劃，例如全民退保，政府很多時候都會以人口老化、結構性赤字等原因，拒絕承擔政府應有的責任，我不知道羅致光局長對此有何看法？
With regard to the more comprehensive social security schemes such as universal retirement protection the Government has often refused to take up its due responsibility on such pretexts as population ageing structural deficit and so on . I wonder what Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong thinks about this
但是，最少我們應該體察一下很多"打工仔女"面對的種種情況。
But at least we should appreciate and examine the various situations faced by many wage earners
一方面，政府千方百計希望市民大眾不用依賴政府的福利保障；另一方面，卻無視一個基本的事實，就是一個能夠全面保障勞工權益的法例制度，才是對基層市民生活的最佳保障。
On the one hand the Government has exhausted all means to minimize public reliance on government welfare and social security but on the other it has neglected a basic fact and that is it is only when the statues can comprehensively safeguard labour rights and interests that the living of the grass roots can be afforded the best protection
主席，最近，我們看見很多工潮事件，而我們可以從這些事件見微知著，包括九龍巴士有限公司的葉車長曾經希望發動工業行動，這事件揭示了香港的勞工權益及公司的老闆權益兩者在很大程度上並不對等。
President recently we have seen many cases of strikes and in these incidents we can learn about the big picture from the small clues . For example a bus captain surnamed YIP of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company 1933 Limited had planned to take industrial actions and this incident has revealed the fact that the rights and interests of workers and those of the corporation or employers are to a large extent unequal
由於車長工時長、工作環境差，結果葉車長希望發動工業行動，但她面對甚麼壓力？
Given long working hours and poor working conditions of bus captains bus captain YIP planned to take industrial actions but what pressure did she face?
她很快便面臨被公司解僱，而雖然最終由於很多工會成員，很多"打工仔女"及車長一同支持葉車長，令她能夠免於被解僱的厄運我當然不是指那些說她罷工是"白癡"的工會但我們可以看到，勞資關係在香港的確存在很大的不對等。
She faced dismissal by the company in no time and even though she was eventually spared the misfortune of being sacked thanks to many union members wage earners and bus captains who joined force to throw weight behind her―I certainly do not mean those unions which said that she was an idiot in going on a strike―we can see that there is indeed profound inequality in labour relations in Hong Kong
根據本地的法例，只需要作出足夠賠償，便可滿足現有法例的要求，基本上我們沒有罷工的權利，亦沒有集體談判的權利，也由於這原因，當我們面對工業行動時便十分缺乏保障。
Under the laws of Hong Kong it is considered to have met the legal requirements so long as full compensation is made . Basically we do not have the right to strike; nor do we have the right to collective bargaining . This is also why our protection is grossly lacking when we face industrial actions
馬克思在《資本論》第一卷第八章：工作日中指出，正常工作日的確立是資本家階級與工人階級之間長期的多少隱蔽的內戰的產物。
In The Working Day in Chapter 10 of Volume 1 of Capital Karl MARX pointed out that The creation of a normal working day is therefore the product of a protracted civil war more or less dissembled between the capitalist class and the working - class
香港工時狀況調查報告指出，有關的調查曾訪問本港345,500名僱員，他們表示每周工時的中位數是44小時。
The report of a survey on the working hours of Hong Kong has pointed out that according to the 345 500 local employees interviewed in the survey their median weekly working hours is 44 hours
但是，當中只有37.4%的僱員工作少於40小時，大約有62.6%的僱員工作多於40小時以上，當中甚至有8.9%的僱員，他們的工作時數多於56小時或以上，超越國際勞工組織的標準。
However only 37.4 % of these employees work less than 40 hours while about 62.6 % of them work more than 40 hours and among these employees 8.9 % or 38 005 employees even work more than 56 hours exceeding the standard of the International Labour Organization
主席，香港的勞工保障並不需要繼續傾斜商界，我們亦不希望再有一些小修小補式的修改。
President the labour protection in Hong Kong has no reason to be tilted to the business sector and we do not wish to see more amendments of minor patch - ups in nature
今天的議案及修正案提出很多不同的勞工政策，希望政府能夠接受建議，盡快推行。
This motion and the amendments today have put forward a diversity of labour policies and it is hoped that the Government can take on board these proposals and implement them expeditiously
但是，在今天香港勞工法例完全落後的情況下，政府及立法會需要做的，是要為香港設立勞工保障制度，設定一個更強的願景，不再是小修小補，而是全面地保障每一個在香港打拼的"打工仔女"的權益。
However when the existing labour legislation in Hong Kong is entirely outdated what the Government and the Legislative Council need to do is to set up a system of labour protection for Hong Kong to provide a broader vision in that no more minor patch - up measures will be taken but comprehensive protection will be provided for the rights and interests of every wage earner who works hard in Hong Kong
修改"4-1-18"的限制，保障零散工的權益；標準工時進行立法，改善香港冠絕全球的工時問題；落實更多家庭友善政策甚至設定"月事假"，保障女性在職場上的權益及福祉；還有很多不同的勞工政策，有待我們一一實現。
We should amend the 4 - 1 - 18 rule to protect the rights and interests of casual workers legislate for standard working hours to ameliorate the problem of working hours in Hong Kong―a notoriety which makes us second to none in the world implement more family - friendly policies and even provide menstrual leave to protect the rights and well - being of women at work and there are also a diversity of labour policies that we have to work for their implementation one by one
我現在請陸頌雄議員動議修正案。
I now call upon Mr LUK Chung - hung to move his amendment
主席，我動議修正何啟明議員的議案。
President I move that Mr HO Kai - mings motion be amended
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：陸頌雄議員就何啟明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 the amendment moved by Mr LUK Chung - hung to Mr HO Kai - mings motion be passed
主席，我發言支持今天這項有關"構建全方位'再工業化'政策體系"的議案。
President I speak in support of todays motion on Establishing a comprehensive re - industrialization policy regime
無可否認，香港過去多年的產業發展過於單一，製造業每況愈下，導致經濟未能多元發展，惠及社會各階層。
Undeniably industries in Hong Kong have become overly homogenous over the years . The decline of manufacturing industry hinders economic diversification to bring benefits to all strata of society
因此，我歡迎政府明確表示"再工業化有潛力成為香港新的經濟增長點"。
I therefore welcome the Governments specific remark that re - industrialization is a potential new area of economic growth for Hong Kong
然而，要推動及落實"再工業化"，單靠宣布成立創新、科技及再工業化委員會是否足夠？
But can the Government promote and implement re - industrialization simply by announcing the establishment of the Committee on Innovation Technology and Re - industrialization?
正如吳永嘉議員指出，要有效推動"再工業化"，是需要多個部門及跨局參與、配合和合作的。
As remarked by Mr Jimmy NG the participation collaboration and cooperation of different departments and bureaux are necessary for the effective promotion of re - industrialization
主席，"再工業化"固然需要創新和科技配合，從而提升產值，但我不希望看到"再工業化"只是再次集中於推動創新和科技行業，而是應該同時發展智能、綠色環保工業和產業。
President re - industrialization will certainly require the support of innovation and technology in enhancing product value . Yet I do not wish to see re - industrialization focusing on the promotion of innovation and technology industries only . The Government should develop smart and environmental industries as well
要有效推動"再工業化"，政府須在政策、制度及法規上配合，而足夠和合適的人才、土地及房屋供應亦不可缺少。
In order to promote re - industrialization effectively the Government must give support in terms of policy system and legislation . Sufficient supplies of suitable talent land and buildings are also necessary
舉例來說，文化音樂產業和數據分析應用應否列作"工業"？
For example should cultural and music industries as well as data analysis and application fall under the definition of industry?
主席，我想在此強調地契的影響力。
President here I would like to highlight the problems with land leases
眾所周知，地契的年期相當長，動輒長達數十年，但地契所訂的土地用途，包括工業用途，往往建基於土地過去的用途，並無前瞻性。
As we all know a land lease usually covers a long term spanning over decades and the land use stated therein including industrial use is often based on the previous land use and is thus not forward - looking
"再工業化"如何可以提升效率？
How can re - industrialization be implemented more efficiently?
雖然政府曾在1997年進行有關工業用地的研究，並於1999年完成檢討工業用地策略，訂出"商貿地帶"用途，但屈指一算，檢討至今已有20年之久，我認為政府實有必要重新檢討，特別是檢討很多議員提到的"工業"定義。
The Government conducted a study on industrial land in 1997 and upon the completion of the review of industrial land use strategy in 1999 it introduced business zone . It has been 20 years since the review . I think the Government should conduct another review particularly on the definition of industry as mentioned by many Members
要有效推動"再工業化"，我促請政府重新檢討現行的"工業"定義，並在地契上作出配合，同時亦要釐清不同部門的責任，使"再工業化"可以更有效地推行。
In order to promote re - industrialization effectively I urge the Government to review afresh the current definition of industry make complementary arrangements in respect of land leases and clarify the responsibilities of different departments . The implementation of re - industrialization can then be more effective
早晨，我們討論香港"再工業化"的問題，其實是在討論香港的產業轉型和工業復興。
Good morning . When we discuss the subject of re - industrialization of Hong Kong we are actually discussing the restructuring and revival of industries in Hong Kong
我這樣說，大家可能會認為我又在討論高地價政策或租金昂貴的問題等，但事實並不是這麼簡單。
Upon hearing these remarks some Members may think that I will discuss issues such as high land prices and high rent again; but the reality is not that simple
首先，我們要認清香港工業現正面對的一些狀況。
First of all we must understand the situation faced by industries in Hong Kong
大部分香港人也會認為香港已經沒有甚麼工業，或已經沒有工業存在，但其實香港有數門工業，我們應該更為重視。
The majority of Hong Kong people may think that there are hardly any industries in Hong Kong or industries do not exist in Hong Kong anymore but there are actually a number of Hong Kong industries to which we should attach more importance
所以，對於今次可以落實5天侍產假，民建聯表示歡迎。
Hence this time DAB welcomes the implementation of five - day paternity leave
此外，我們亦歡迎政府開展把10星期法定產假延長的有關研究和工作，這些都是民建聯一直所爭取的。
Moreover we welcome the Governments commencement of the study and work relating to the extension of the 10 - week statutory maternity leave . This is what DAB has all along striven for
同時，民建聯亦希望政府能積極處理其外判制度、俗稱"4-18"的連續性合約條款及婦女就業等問題。
At the same time DAB also hopes that the Government can proactively deal with such issues as its outsourcing system the continuous contract term commonly known as 4 - 18 and employment for women
外判工人在薪酬、福利和職業安全等範疇均欠缺保障，而某些外判商違反合約規定或勞工法例，這些情況經常發生。
Outsourced workers lack protection in such areas as wages welfare and occupational safety and certain outsourced service contractors have breached the contract requirements or the labour law . Such cases happen from time to time
該小組會討論如何透過資源分配，協助部門改善投標制度，並計算政府的財政負擔，增加開支以保障勞工權益等，務求確保現時的勞工能獲得更合理的保障。
The working group will discuss how best to assist the departments in improving the tendering system through allocation of resources calculate the Governments financial commitment increase the expenditure on the protection of labour rights and interests etc in order to ensure that the existing workers can receive more reasonable protection
儘管我們歡迎政府的檢討措施，但我們亦想向政府提出一些建議。
Although we welcome the Governments review measures we also wish to make some suggestions to the Government
首先，我們認為價低者得的招標方式並不健康，可否改為以素質為本？
First of all we consider the tendering approach of awarding a contract to the lowest bid unhealthy
此外，可否訂明，如果投標者提出的僱員工資水平高於最低工資，又或按有關行業的工資中位數釐定，便會獲得更高的分數？
Can it be based on quality instead? . Besides can it be stated explicitly that a tenderer will receive a higher score if the employees wage level offered by him is higher than the minimum wage rate or is set in accordance with the median wage of the relevant industry?
接下來，我想談談"4-18"連續性合約條款。
Next I would like to talk about the 4 - 18 continuous contract term
主席，自從實施最低工資後，清潔、飲食、保安等工種散工化的情況越來越嚴重。
President since the implementation of the minimum wage the situation of jobs being turned into casual ones has become increasingly serious in such types of work as cleansing catering and security
一些僱主聘用大量兼職員工，利用"4-18"的漏洞，即不會聘用員工超過4星期，而員工每周工作亦不會超過18小時，在這種情況下，這些僱員便不能享有休息日及有薪法定假期等福利。
Some employers will hire a large number of part - time workers and exploit the 4 - 18 loophole . That means they will not hire workers for more than four weeks and such workers will not work for more than 18 hours a week . In this circumstance these employees will not be entitled to welfare benefits such as rest days and paid statutory holidays
我相信這類僱主始終只屬少數，但無可否認，如果有這類僱主存在，當局便要密切關注。
I believe this kind of employers are only the minority but if such employers undeniably exist the authorities should pay close attention
過往大家已就"4-18"連續性合約規定進行多次討論，所以我們希望政府盡快諮詢公眾，檢討"4-18"連續性合約規定。
We have discussed the 4 - 18 continuous contract requirement many times before . Hence we hope that the Government will expeditiously consult the public and review the 4 - 18 continuous contract requirement
此外，我們亦促請政府認真地加強巡查和執法，以確保《僱傭條例》對僱員的保障得以落實。
Moreover we urge the Government to seriously step up inspections and law enforcement to ensure that the protection for employees under the Employment Ordinance can be implemented
對於何啟明議員的原議案，我們民建聯予以支持。
We in DAB support Mr HO Kai - mings original motion
至於其他修正案，基於我們對某些內容持不同意見，因此我們民建聯會投棄權票。
As regards the other amendments since we hold a different view on some of their contents we in DAB will abstain
就這項議案，我們必須看看《基本法》第一百一十八條及第一百一十九條的內容，即政府有責任"提供經濟和法律環境"，"制定適當政策，促進和協調製造業"，從而訂定一個全方位的科技工業政策。
In connection with this motion we must take a look at Articles 118 and 119 of the Basic Law which provide that the Government is duty - bound to provide an economic and legal environment and formulate appropriate policies to promote and co - ordinate the development of various trades such as manufacturing so as to establish a comprehensive policy on technology industry
可見吳永嘉議員提出這項"構建全方位'再工業化'政策體系"議案是適時的，方向是正確的。
It can thus be seen that Mr Jimmy NGs motion on Establishing a comprehensive re - industrialization policy regime is timely and in the right direction
局長是我們在這方面發展的領頭羊，他身負重任，香港科技工業能否發展為新的經濟增長點，關鍵握在他手中，若干年後，究竟香港的科技工業發展會跌入深淵還是飛黃騰達，可否為香港GDP增長及改善民生福利作出進一步貢獻，就視乎局長的決心和勇氣。
The Secretary being a bellwether for development in this regard has to shoulder heavy responsibilities . He has a key role to play as regards whether the Hong Kong technology industry can develop into a new area of economic growth . His determination and courage will be the determining factor as regards whether the development of our technology industry will fall into an abyss or have a vibrant boom or whether it will make further contribution to the growth of our GDP and the improvement of peoples livelihood and welfare some years later
工業製造原本佔香港整體GDP 30%以上，這比率近年卻不斷下跌，跌至今天不足1%，假如我們仍不加速訂立相關政策，恐怕"再工業化"未啟動，"零工業化"已來臨。
Industrial manufacturing originally took up more than 30 % of our overall GDP . This percentage however has been on the decline in recent years to become less than 1 % today . If we still do not formulate relevant policies expeditiously I am afraid that zero industrialization shall come well before re - industrialization is launched
我在原議案加上"政府亦須因應全球市場的需求變化、技術和成本競爭力、人才數量和質素，以及利用'一帶一路'的發展趨勢及粵港澳大灣區的資源優勢，訂出推動'再工業化'的戰略及聚焦重點"。
I have added the following words to the original motion in the light of demand changes in the global market competitiveness in technology and cost quantity and quality of talent and capitalizing on the development trend of One Belt One Road and the resources advantages of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area the Government must also formulate strategies and major focuses for promoting re - industrialization
應科院早期擁有約500名工程博士，他們缺乏共同方向，以致百花齊放，各自研究不同的項目，雖然有很多項目研發成功，甚至取得國際專利，但儘管這些項目有市場，卻找不到人生產，亦有其他項目沒有市場，更是無人問津，最終很多研發出的項目都不了了之。
ASTRI had about 500 doctors in engineering at its early days . However without a common direction they each went their own way for different research projects . Although many items had been successfully developed and some had even acquired international patents and with market potential no producers could be found; there were also some other items with no marketability that no one showed any interest
近年情況稍有好轉，卻依然未能打破僵局。
Eventually many items developed were just cast aside . In recent years the situation has slightly improved yet the stalemate has yet to be broken
所以，政府必須定出"工業化"戰略及聚焦重點，才能夠令"官產學研"同心協力，為香港科技發展、為再工業化創出一條康莊大道。
Therefore the Government must formulate the strategy for industrialization and focus on the key areas so that the Government industry academia and research sector can collaborate to create a bright prospect for the development of technology and re - industrialization of Hong Kong
我希望局長在不遠的將來或向立法會申請撥款之前，能提交一份發展可能性研究報告，訂出發展焦點、方向，以及投資的誘因。
I hope the Secretary can in the near future or before seeking funding approval from the Legislative Council provide a report on the feasibility study for development to set out the focus and direction of development and the investment incentives
我衷心希望政府考慮聚焦的方向之一，是把重點放在醫藥產業方面。
I earnestly hope that the pharmaceutical industry is one of the focused areas of development to be considered by the Government
我相信以中國內地的實力加上本港的出口優勢，醫藥產藥不單會直接令大眾受惠，更是未來香港產業一個最大的增長動力，更有機會成為本港GDP增長最快、最重要的產業之一。
I believe that given the strength of Mainland China and coupled with Hong Kongs export edge the pharmaceutical industry will not only benefit the public directly but also give impetus to the development of Hong Kong industries in future such that it may even have the chance to become one of the industries with the fastest growth and utmost importance in our GDP
我們亦必須參考其他地區所訂立的鼓勵政策，有些同事去年便曾前往以色列考察。
We must also make reference to the incentive policies formulated by other places . For instance some fellow colleagues visited Israel last year
過去10年，以色列的科技得以迅速發展的成功原因之一，是以色列政府選定了100間有潛質的科技工業公司進行投資，更親自到海外為這些企業宣傳，令到這些企業成為當地的龍頭企業而發展成功。
One of the factors attributing to the rapid development of technology in Israel over the last decade is that the Israeli Government has chosen 100 technology enterprises with potential for investment . Furthermore the Israeli Government has even gone abroad to promote for these enterprises so as to make them become local leading ventures and thus succeed in development
有政策亦需要有人才。
While policy is in place there should be talents as well
代理主席，我首先多謝吳永嘉議員提出這項議題。
Deputy President before all else I thank Mr Jimmy NG for bringing up this topic for discussion
