國務院在2015年公布的"中國製造2025"戰略，預計2025年，國家會從製造大國邁向製造強國，而2035年，國家的製造業將會超越德國和日本等發達國家。
As projected in the Made in China 2025 strategy released by the State Council in 2015 our country will stride forward from a big manufacturing power to a strong manufacturing power in 2025 and the manufacturing sector of our country will overtake developed countries such as Germany and Japan in 2035
內地各省市均積極裝備自己，配合國家的發展策略，即使中美貿易戰不斷升級，亦無礙國家落實"中國製造2025"的目標。
Various provinces and cities in the Mainland are taking active steps to prepare themselves so that they will fit in with the national development strategy . Despite the escalating trade war between China and the United States our country remains steadfast in pursuing the objectives of Made in China 2025
如果將全球的經濟競賽比喻為一場球賽，香港在國家發展大局中，應該負責甚麼位置？
If we liken global economic competition to a ball game what part should Hong Kong play in the countrys overall scheme of development?
香港擁有理想的營商環境、健全的司法制度、優秀的專業服務產業、良好的知識產權保護機制等，是外資企業開拓內地市場的理想踏腳石，亦是內地企業走出去的首選據點，因此，隨着"十三五"規劃，深入實踐"中國製造2025"，香港的科技和服務業均會迎來新機遇。
With a favourable business environment a sound judicial system outstanding professional services a robust intellectual property protection regime and all that Hong Kong is an ideal stepping stone for foreign enterprises seeking to develop the Mainland market and the most preferred base for Mainland enterprises intending to go global . Hence in the wake of the 13 Five - Year Plan and the thorough implementation of Made in China 2025 Hong Kongs service industries and technology industries will be presented with new opportunities
政府近年銳意發展創新科技，將其打造為香港經濟第五大支柱。
In recent years the Government has shown determination to develop innovation and technology IT as the fifth pillar of Hong Kongs economy
在過去兩三年，當局承諾投放金額多達900億港元，包括發展落馬洲河套區、注資創科及科技基金、成立創新平台、落實"博士專才庫"、資助本地人員接受科技培訓，以及檢討窒礙創科發展的過時法例。
The investments undertaken by the authorities in the past couple of years have amounted to HK90 billion including the development of the Lok Ma Chau Loop the injection of funds into the Innovation and Technology Fund the establishment of research clusters the launch of the Postdoctoral Hub Programme the provision of subsidies to local employees for receiving training in technology and the review on the outdated legislation which hinders IT development
政府積極更新硬件和軟件，支持香港再工業化，時機正好配合中國產業升級，有利本地廠家升級轉型。
The Government has been making proactive efforts to update the hardware and software to support Hong Kongs reindustrialization . Such move coinciding with the upgrading of Chinas industries will facilitate local manufacturers to upgrade and transform their business
落馬洲河套區絕對有潛力發展為專門培訓科研人才，促進國際科技的創新交流和學術實踐的平台，成為孕育創科人才的大搖籃，具體來說，集中粵港澳三地高等院校的資源優勢，在河套區成立創新科技為主體的研究型大學，配合大灣區各項產業的發展需要，為區內的創科發展提供軟實力的支援。
The Lok Ma Chau Loop has the absolute potential to develop as a cluster that specializes in nurturing scientific research talents and fosters international exchange in technological innovation and commercialization of academic research thus turning itself into a cradle to IT talents . Specifically a research - oriented university focusing on IT should be set up in the Loop by gathering the elite resources of the tertiary institutions in Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao so as to meet the development needs of various industries in the Greater Bay Area and provide soft - power support to IT development in the area
接下來，我想談談新界作為接連香港與內地紐帶的角色和潛力。
Next I wish to talk about the role and potential of the New Territories as the link between Hong Kong and the Mainland
除了我上述提及的河套區外，在旅遊和文化方面，新界鄉村絕對有潛力為大灣區提供大量優質的旅遊資源。
Aside from the Loop which I mentioned above villages in the New Territories in terms of tourism and culture definitely have the potential to provide the Greater Bay Area with abundant quality tourism resources
在訪問團的報告中，訪問團認為香港政府應該發展互利互贏的"一程多站"旅遊產品，探索如何透過活化舊區和歷史建築，發掘更多的機遇，從而帶動本土經濟。
As stated in the report of the delegation the delegation opined that the Hong Kong Government should develop multi - destination tourism products that can achieve complementarity and mutual benefits; and should examine ways to identify more development opportunities through revitalizing old districts and historic buildings thereby boosting local economy
對此，我是十分同意，當中以沙頭角墟最具發展旅遊潛力，可以成為大灣區旅遊圈的其中一站。
I fully concur with these remarks and I think that Sha Tau Kok Town among other places shows the greatest potential to develop tourism and to become one of the destinations in the Greater Bay Area tourism circle
事實上，我在本屆立法會會期開始時，已一直爭取開放沙頭角墟邊境禁區。
In fact since the beginning of the current legislative session I have been striving for the opening up of the frontier closed area of Sha Tau Kok Town
墟內的中英街具有特殊的歷史背景，不但保留具多樣性的歷史文物，例如中英街的石碑、警世鐘和嶺南騎樓等，而且，沙頭角墟更背靠一條超過300年歷史，集地質、生態、客家文化為一身的原居民村落荔枝窩，地理環境得天獨厚。
Chung Ying Street a place with a unique historical background is located in Sha Tau Kok Town where a wide diversity of historical relics are preserved for example the boundary stones at Chung Ying Street the Warning Bell and the Lingnan - style balconies . What is more there is an indigenous village Lai Chi Wo at the back of Sha Tau Kok Town . It is a village with a history of over three centuries possessing geological and ecological features as well as Hakka culture
此外，沙頭角屬於香港邊境，區內有大量軍事及邊防遺蹟，不少軍事迷和歷史迷都十分希望親眼看看和親身感受香港早年抗英、抗日的歷史。
Its geographical location is exceptionally favourable . Moreover as a frontier area of Hong Kong Sha Tau Kok has a large number of military and border security remains . Many military enthusiasts and history lovers are eager to see and experience for themselves the history about Hong Kongs resistance against the British and the Japanese in the early years
如果政府有決心拆牆鬆綁，將沙頭角墟原有的商鋪加以活化，沙頭角不難成為具有特色的旅遊景點，帶動當區的經濟，提升大灣區的吸引力。
If the Government is determined to remove various restrictions to revitalize the existing stores in Sha Tau Kok Town there should be no difficulty for Sha Tau Kok to become a distinctive tourist attraction which will in turn give impetus to the local economy and enhance the attractiveness of the Greater Bay Area
最後，我要感謝粵港澳大灣區訪問團團長林健鋒議員，亦要感謝立法會秘書處的悉心安排，希望日後各黨派的議員同事再有機會就着對香港發展有利的議題，一起考察和對外交流，為香港出謀獻策。
Finally I would like to thank Mr Jeffrey LAM leader of the delegation to the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area and I also wish to thank the Legislative Council Secretariat for the carefully planned programme . I hope that in the future Members from various parties and groupings will have another opportunity to go on a joint duty visit and undertake external exchange activities regarding issues conducive to Hong Kongs development thereby enabling us to offer advice and counsel for Hong Kong
主席，大灣區訪問結束至今已將近8個月。
President it has been almost eight months now since the conclusion of the duty visit
在過去的8個月期間，世界風雲變色，發生了許多事，假如我們今天才訪問大灣區，則訪問的內容可能會與8個月前大有不同。
The international scene kept changing with a multitude of events emerging during the past eight months . If we visit the Greater Bay Area today the contents of the visit will be a lot different from that of eight months ago
可是，我相信有一點是事實，就是當立法會考察團有機會拜訪大灣區不同城市時所能看到的，必然是經過精心挑選，為的是將最美好的一面盡量呈現在議員眼中。
However I believe one thing is true that is what the Legislative Council delegation was exposed to see during its duty visit to the different cities in the Bay Area must be thoughtfully selected with the aim to show Members the best side of the Greater Bay Area as far as possible
至於這會否就是事實的全部，自是不得而知，但根據我的合理推論，這當然不可能會是事實的全部了。
I am not sure whether what we saw is the whole truth . Yet this cannot be the whole truth according to the reasonable inference that I have drawn
主席，在總結今次訪問時，我提出兩個意見，其一是關於人才的爭奪，其二是關於"一國兩制"的優勢。
President I put forth two views to sum up the duty visit . One of them is about the strive for talents and the other is about the privileges of the one country two systems
其實，其他民主派議員也曾就這兩點作出闡述，而我只希望透過今次辯論，作出以下的補充，以反映我在過去一段時間針對大灣區進行的思考。
Actually some other pro - democracy Members have already elaborated on these two points and I only wish to make the following supplementary remarks to reflect what I have come up with in previous months upon mulling over the various issues associated with the Greater Bay Area
首先，我想討論的是一些數字。
First I would like to discuss some figures
政府統計處於2016年起新增了一個常設的統計主題，內容關乎通常逗留在廣東省的香港居民數字，即在統計前後6個月、合共一年時間內，在廣東省逗留共6個月或以上的香港永久性居民人數。
Starting from 2016 the Census and Statistics Department added a regular thematic survey on the number of permanent residents of Hong Kong usually staying in the Guangdong Province Guangdong namely the number of Hong Kong residents who have stayed in Guangdong for six months or more during the one - year period from six months before the reference time - point to six months after it
這項資料的最早數字似乎只追溯至2013年。
The survey seems to have traced the figures up to 2013 only
2013年年中，通常逗留在廣東省的居民人數為516,700人；到2017年年底，人數增至525,500人，增幅約1.7%，並不十分顯著。
The number of Hong Kong residents usually staying in Guangdong in mid - 2013 was 516 700 . The figure increased to 525 500 by the end of 2017 representing an increase of 1.7 % . Such rate of increase was not so significant
我想聚焦於走勢方面。
I want to focus on the tendencies
當我們拿2017年年底的人數跟2013年的兩組數字比較，便發現只有兩個年齡組別的人數有所增長，一組是15歲至24歲的青少年，另一組是65歲以上的長者，兩個組別均不屬於香港的核心工作人口。
In comparing the figure at the end of 2017 and that of 2013 it is found that only two age groups showed growth in the number of Hong Kong residents one being the age group of 15 to 24 and the other being 65 or above . Neither group is however the core of the working population in Hong Kong
主席，我之所以談論這些數字，是因為我想探討趨勢的問題。
President I am talking about these figures because I wish to explore the meaning behind the tendencies as shown in the figures
在"大灣區"這個概念出現前，香港特區政府一直提倡中港融合，但要是中港融合這個概念真的得到香港市民衷心擁護和欣賞的話，整體數字便不會有所下降，而上升的數字亦不會只局限於青少年和長者的組別了。
The SAR Government had been advocating Mainland - Hong Kong integration before the emergence of the concept of Greater Bay Area . Nevertheless had the idea of such integration won the wholehearted support and appreciation of the Hong Kong people the overall number of Hong Kong residents usually staying in Guangdong should not have dropped . It should not be a case in which rebound of figures only took place in the groups of youths and elderly people as it has turned out now
我想帶出的問題是，主席，其實中港融合的概念，不是大灣區 或以往的泛珠三角區域合作的概念，是否真的受香港人歡迎呢？
President I just want to raise a query here Is the concept of Mainland - Hong Kong integration including the notion of the Greater Bay Area and that of the Pan - Pearl River Delta Regional Cooperation 92 genuinely welcomed by the people of Hong Kong?
有關數字似乎已經揭示了答案。
Well the answer has already been revealed in the figures above
主席，中港融合的主旨，就在於把香港融入廣東省、甚至是國家的發展規劃之中。
President Mainland - Hong Kong integration aims at incorporating Hong Kong into the planning of Guangdong and even the States development . In the process the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link must be built and the Co - location Arrangement must be implemented
為誰而融合？
Who is it meant for?
又是由誰來規劃這些融合呢？
And who is in charge of the integration planning after all?
政府於2015年委託顧問進行《港珠澳大橋香港口岸上蓋發展的規劃、工程及建築研究》，並預計該研究會於2017年2月完成。
In 2015 the Government commissioned a consultant to conduct a Planning Engineering and Architectural Study for Topside Development at Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Island of Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB and expected that the study would be completed by February 2017
然而，規劃署網站現時顯示該項研究預計於2019年完成。
However the said study is expected to complete in 2019 as currently shown on the Planning Departments website
主席，經諮詢運輸及房屋局後，就質詢的各部分，我現綜合答覆如下： 港珠澳大橋香港口岸人工島位處於港珠澳大橋的落腳點，鄰近香港國際機場，是香港連接珠江三角洲及世界各地的關鍵門戶。
President after consulting the Transport and Housing Bureau my reply to various parts of the question is as follows The Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Island of Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge BCF Island is located at the landing point of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB . It is close to the Hong Kong International Airport and is a key gateway for Hong Kong to connect the Pearl River Delta and the rest of the world
為探討如何善用面積約150公頃的口岸人工島，土木工程拓展署聯同規劃署於2015年1月展開"港珠澳大橋香港口岸上蓋發展的規劃、工程及建築研究"。
To explore the optimum utilization of the 150 - hectare BCF Island the Civil Engineering and Development Department CEDD and the Planning Department PlanD commissioned the Planning Engineering and Architectural Study for Topside Development at the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities Island of Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge in January 2015
研究的初步構思是在口岸人工島上蓋發展旅遊、零售、創意產業、會展旅遊、商業及專業服務和物流等經濟產業。
The initial concept of the study was to develop economic industries such as tourism retail creative industries exhibition tourism commercial and professional services as well as logistics on the BCF Island
土木工程拓展署聯同規劃署於2015年年中進行了社區參與活動，就該初步發展構思進行公眾諮詢。
To consult public views on the initial development concept CEDD and PlanD conducted a community engagement exercise in mid - 2015
公眾普遍歡迎就上蓋發展進行研究，支持以"把握橋頭經濟"為策略性規劃目標，並認同在上蓋發展多元化經濟產業。
The public generally welcomed conducting studies for the topside development supported the strategic goal of capitalizing on the bridgehead economy and agreed to the topside development of diversified economic industries
同時，亦有公眾建議在研究中詳細考慮上蓋發展與香港其他地區的的交通連接，為本地和抵港的車輛提供足夠泊車位；亦有意見建議包括相關部門及顧問的研究團隊諮詢香港機場管理局以協調機場島及口岸人工島的擬議發展，加強香港作為區域轉運中心的角色。
At the same time the public also proposed that traffic connection between the topside development and the other districts and provision of adequate parking spaces for local and incoming vehicles should be considered in detail in the study . Some views also suggested the study team comprising the relevant departments and consultants to consult the Airport Authority Hong Kong AAHK for coordination of proposed developments on the Airport Island and the BCF Island with a view to enhancing Hong Kongs role as a regional transhipment centre
因應在社區參與活動所收集到的建議和意見，研究團隊審視不同土地用途的規劃建議和實施方案，並進行相關的技術可行性評估及財務可行性評估。研究的過程需要顧及不同因素，包括口岸人工島的發展限制及鄰近機場島的發展機遇。
Based on the recommendations and opinions collected in the community engagement exercise the study team reviewed the planning proposals and implementation plans for
的而且確，政府邀請機管局考慮口岸人工島上蓋發展時，有邀請它就建造一個大規模的停車場進行研究。
Indeed when the Government invited AAHK to consider about the topside development of the BCF Island we also asked it to conduct a study on the construction of a large - scale car park
但是實際可行性及實際規模如何，機管局會在研究中探討這些範圍，之後政府會再作研究。
But as regards the actual feasibility and the pragmatic scale they will be explored in the study by AAHK and will be further studied by the Government afterwards
主席，目前香港口岸人工島規劃中沒有旅遊巴的泊車位，而口岸上落客的停車位則各有8個。
President there are no coach parking spaces under the existing planning of the BCF Island and at the boundary control point there are now eight parking spaces for passenger pick - up purpose and also eight spaces for drop - off purpose
政府擔心過多旅遊巴到口岸接客，所以採取配額制，剛才局長也提及配額制，以及預約安排。
The Government adopts a quota system because it is worried that too many coaches will go to the boundary control point to pick up passengers . Earlier on the Secretary also mentioned the quota system and the pre - booking arrangement
長遠來說，該做法不利口岸人工島增加大量旅客。
In the long term this approach does not facilitate the significant increase of visitors on the BCF Island
目前階段，我們不會排除任何可能性。
At the present stage we will not rule out any possibility
姚議員剛才的意見十分寶貴。
The views given by Mr YIU just now are very precious
主席，我留意到局長的主體答覆令田北辰議員津津有味的內容和設施等，全都是在2023年才會發生的，而現在是2018年。
President I notice that the content and facilities in the Secretarys main reply which interested Mr Michael TIEN very much will only be realized by 2023 and it is now 2018
我想請問局長於此段時間，如何解決目前很多旅客通過港珠澳大橋來香港一日遊並湧入其他地區，影響居民生活的問題？
May I ask the Secretary how he will during the interim period address the current problem of a large number of visitors coming to Hong Kong through HZMB on one - day tours and flocking to other areas thus affecting local peoples livelihood?
因為2002年及2003年時開始規劃大橋，2005年時設計已經基本完成，然後直到2009年動工。
Because in 2002 and 2003 the planning of HZMB started; in 2005 the design was basically completed; and in 2009 the construction commenced
如果謝議員記得，於2000年代初期，當時在個別地區還降低發展密度，而近年我們在適當情況下會提高。
Mr TSE may recall that in early 2000s the development density in individual districts was even reduced and it was only raised in recent years under appropriate circumstances
我希望這個答案能夠解釋過往一些歷史。
I hope that this answer can help explain some history
主席，我十分認同謝偉銓議員所說有關規劃的問題，而當然，局長認為不應該追究前政府的事情。
President I cannot agree more with Mr Tony TSEs view concerning the planning issue and of course the Secretary thinks that we should not pursue the previous Government over this matter
不過，這也反映出整個政府對於規劃和大型基建配套欠缺周全的考慮，以致造成現時的局面。這個局面便是很多旅客來港後沒地方可去，唯有擠在東涌。
However this reflects the lack of careful consideration of the whole Government in the planning and construction of large - scale infrastructural facilities resulting in the present situation and that is many visitors have nowhere to go after coming to Hong Kong but flock to Tung Chung
不過，田北辰議員提及的泊車問題也十分重要。
Nonetheless the parking issue mentioned by Mr Michael TIEN is also highly important
我想就此向局長提問，在新一期所謂150公頃的口岸人工島上，會否就着車位欠缺的問題多加研究，例如興建大型停車場？
I would like to ask the Secretary whether more thought will be given to the shortage of parking spaces or the construction of a large - scale car park for example in the new phase of the 150 - hectare BCF Island
其實，購物中心也需要大量車位，就這方面，當局會否在原有基礎上再增設車位？
In fact the shopping centre also needs a large number of parking spaces . In this regard will the authorities provide additional parking spaces on the original basis?
我們在邀請機管局就未來口岸人工島的上蓋發展進行研究時，亦有明確指出，它需要研究在上蓋發展中，提供一個大型停車場的可行性。
When we invited AAHK to conduct a study on the future topside development of the BCF Island we have precisely pointed out the need to study the feasibility of providing a large - scale car park in the topside development
短期而言，正如我剛才回答麥議員的補充質詢時也略為提及，包括就巴士安排和路線提供上，盡量作出分流安排。
In the short run as I have briefly mentioned when answering Ms MAKs supplementary question earlier on we will try to divert visitors through the arrangement of buses and alignment of the routes
環聯資訊有限公司是一所信貸資料服務機構。
TransUnion Limited TransUnion is an organization providing credit reference services
我相信，金管局作為金融監管機構會跟進並檢視整件事，從金融監管及信貸風險管理的角度，研究有否可予改善的地方或汲取的經驗。我相信這方面它會跟進。
I believe that HKMA as the financial regulator will follow up and examine the entire incident and it will study from the perspectives of financial regulation and risk management if there is room for improvement or the lessons to be learnt
代理主席，對於這次環聯的資料外泄事件，有人認為是由該公司本身的業務模型造成。
Deputy President as regards the leakage of customer data by TransUnion some people are of the view that it was caused by the business model adopted by the company
在監管的角度來看，金管局是監管銀行的機構，而環聯卻是以一個商業機構的模式運作。
From a regulatory point of view HKMA is the regulatory authority of banks while TransUnion operates as a commercial organization
最後，陳議員問及商業運作的模式或整體監管的模式是否適切，以及是否有需要改善的地方。
Lastly Mr CHAN enquired if the business model or the approach of overall regulation is appropriate and whether any improvements need to be made
我相信財經事務及庫務局及金管局亦會檢視此事件的調查結果及跟進各個環節的問題。
I believe the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau as well as HKMA will also examine the outcomes of the investigation into the incident and follow up on various issues involved
因此，兩方面的機構都會有角色參與。
Therefore institutions involved in the two aspects will have their own roles to play
代理主席，在現行的法律框架下，環聯並不受金管局的監管，金管局只能要求銀行在採用環聯信貸資料服務時，與其簽署正式合約，規定對方制訂一套有效的個人貸款資料監控制度。
Deputy President under the current legal framework TransUnion is not subject to the supervision of HKMA which can only require banks to enter into formal contractual agreements with TransUnion in using its service requiring it to formulate effective personal credit data control systems
局長的答覆亦指出，如果銀行發現這些信貸資料服務機構採取一些不可接受或嚴重違反私隱規定的手法，可根據合約考慮終止與信貸資料服務機構的業務關係。
The Secretary also pointed out in his reply that a bank may consider whether to terminate its business relationship with a CRA if it is aware of unacceptable practices of CRA or serious breaches of the requirements of PDPO
環聯作為一家信貸資料服務機構，在與作為信貸提供者的銀行之間，透過合約確立了合作關係後，把個人信貸資料上載網上平台，以讓整個行業進行信貸風險管理。
TransUnion as a CRA has established relationships with banks after signing contractual agreements and then uploads the personal credit data to a web platform for risk management by the industry as a whole
究竟可如何進一步發展或完善這方面的模式呢？
Actually how can the approach in question be further developed or improved?
局長可否很明確地告訴我們，這種營運方式有否違規？
Will the Secretary make clear to us if this mode of business operation has contravened the laws?
事實上，《實務守則》在1998年訂立，經過4次修訂。
In fact the Code of Practice was issued in 1998 with four revisions since then
然而，最重要的是，相關的安排究竟有否違反《條例》及《實務守則》。
Nevertheless of most importance is whether those arrangements have contravened PDPO and the Code of Practice
主席，加拿大當局自本年10月起，放寬了對休閒類大麻的管制。
President the Canadian authorities have relaxed the control on recreational cannabis since October this year
該國國民可以從持牌供應商購買大麻及含大麻成分的食品和飲料。
Nationals of that country may purchase cannabis as well as food products and drinks containing cannabis from licensed suppliers
鑒於加拿大和香港兩地之間的經貿活動和居民往返頻繁，有市民關注吸食大麻的風氣會蔓延到香港。
Given the frequent economic and trade exchanges and flows of residents between Canada and Hong Kong some members of the public are concerned that the trend of consuming cannabis may spread to Hong Kong
此外，有不少學生家長擔心其在加拿大求學或參加遊學團的子女在返港時，把大麻或含大麻成分食品帶入香港，因而誤墮法網。
Moreover quite a number of parents of students are worried that their children who are studying or participating in study tours in Canada may bring cannabis or food products containing cannabis into Hong Kong when they return to the territory thereby contravening the law inadvertently
代理主席，我應該不會用盡15分鐘。
Deputy President I will not use up the 15 minutes of my speaking time
關於這份財政預算案，我相信主要是上任財政司司長訂下了主綱，而陳司長則應該是在很短時間內增加了一些內容。
With regard to this Budget I think the major plan has been laid down by the former Financial Secretary whereas the incumbent Financial Secretary Paul CHAN has made some additions within a short period of time
香港市民其實面對很多問題，包括房屋問題，青年就業的問題，而經濟方面亦只有很少行業可以發展，這些問題均有待解決。
As a matter of fact Hong Kong people are facing a great deal of problems including housing and youth employment whereas on the economic front only very few industries have the potential for further development . All these problems have yet remained to be solved
正如我之前跟財政司司長和特區政府說過，我們應該帶動內需及增加外需。
As I have previously said to the Financial Secretary and the SAR Government we should boost both domestic and export demands . To boost domestic demand the Government should return wealth to the people
帶動內需就是要還富於民，我曾向政府建議，既然去年派了2萬元，不如今年派4萬元，但政府最終只退回2萬元，試問如何可以振興內需，令本地市民的消費增加呢？
I once proposed to the Government that after giving out 20,000 last year it would be desirable to give out 40,000 this year . Yet in the end the Government has merely given out 20,000 . How can this amount of money stimulate domestic demand and encourage spending by local people?
代理主席，我們在小組委員會討論這個問題時，無論左中右政黨均一致反對。
Deputy President when the issue was discussed at a subcommittee meeting all political parties be they leftists centrist or rightists opposed the proposal
我希望政府真的聽到市民的心聲，還富於民，幫助真正有需要的人。
I hope the Government will listen to the voices of the people return wealth to them and help those with genuine need
此外，在對外方面，政府今年就旅遊業額外撥款2億4,300萬元，這數目聽起來似乎很大，但香港市民必須知道，去年的撥款是2億4,000萬元，即是說今年的撥款只增加300萬元而已，僅稍多於1%。
Furthermore on the external front the Government has increased the provision for the tourism industry to 243 million . While this sounds a huge sum of money Hong Kong people must be aware that the provision of last year was 240 million . In other words this years provision has only increased by 3 million which is slightly more than 1 %
特區政府對於旅遊業的支援，大家認為只增加1%撥款是否足夠？
This is the SAR Governments support for the tourism industry do Members think that an additional provision of a mere 1 % sufficient?
香港市民心中有數。
Hong Kong people should know very well
旅遊業對香港有多重要，我相信很多香港市民亦心中有數。
Likewise I think many Hong Kong people also know how important the tourism industry is to Hong Kong
因此，只增加300萬元協助旅遊業，我覺得絕對不足夠。
Therefore in my opinion an additional provision of a mere 3 million is absolutely insufficient to assist the tourism industry
我曾提過香港有很多本土特色，大可舉辦例如海味節、中藥節甚至美容美髮節等，但舉辦這些節目需要錢才成事，賣廣告和張貼傳單都需要錢。
As I have said before Hong Kong has a lot of local characteristics and we can thus organize some festivals centered on dried seafood Chinese medicine and even beauty care and hairdressing etc . However not a single festival can be organized without money . We need money for advertisements and promotion leaflets
