如果市民未有思想準備，盲目或強行走這條路會比較辛苦，但特區政府也要完成這項任務，對嗎？
In case members of the public are not mentally prepared it will be a difficult road if we walk blindly or forcefully but the SAR Government has to achieve this mission anyway right?
對於如何減少摩擦和矛盾，特區政府的執行能力將會面臨一大挑戰，特別是香港過去兩年的政治局勢較為動盪。
Regarding the ways to reduce frictions and conflicts the SAR Government is going to face a major challenge in its enforcement capability especially because the political situation in Hong Kong has been quite volatile in the past two years
雖有《香港國安法》或完善選舉制度等政策出台，情況變得較為穩定，但過去數天曾發生孤狼式或小集團式爆破或恐怖襲擊事件，為香港帶來不穩定因素。
Although the situation has become more stable with the introduction of such policies as the National Security Law or the improvement of the electoral system there have been incidents of explosions or terrorist attacks in the style of lone wolf or small syndicate in the past few days bringing uncertainties to Hong Kong
在這方面，我認為特區政府，特別是今天在席的曾局長，更要努力加強政府的執行能力。
In this connection I think that the SAR Government especially Secretary Erick TSANG who is present today should make more efforts to strengthen the Governments enforcement capability
今次的修例可說是勞資關係其中一個矛盾點。
The current legislative amendment can be said to be one of the conflict points in labour relations
有人可能因為我的身份而認為我會一面倒替資方說話，但我認為任何議員在社會上也有其他崗位，是某些界別的成員。
Some people might think that I will lopsidedly speak for the employers due to my position; however I consider that every Member has other positions in society say members of certain sectors
議員的責任是要利用自己的特有知識和經驗為香港整體利益設想，而非只為自己所代表的界別發聲。
It is the responsibility of Members to make use of our special knowledge and experiences to work for the overall interests of Hong Kong but not to speak only for the constituency they represent
在法定假日日數這個問題上，我作為僱主，明白對僱主的影響有多大。
On the number of statutory holidays as an employer I understand how great an impact this issue has on employers
老實說，對於現時的市場情況，增加1.4%的人力成本可以說是可大可小的，但我知道政府已嘗試取得平衡，分5年消化這1.4%。
Honestly speaking under the present market situation an increase in manpower cost by 1.4 % may be significant but I know the Government has already tried to strike a balance by absorbing this 1.4 % over five years
我認為這是合理的做法，首先是因為在香港做生意的最大成本始終在於租金，其次是我們預期疫情過後經濟也會有改善。
I consider this a reasonable approach . Firstly the biggest cost of doing business in Hong Kong is still rent and we anticipate that the economy will improve after the epidemic
老實說，我寧可公司的兄弟姊妹們屆時勤力一些，替我們多掙點營業額，總好過與他們計較每年遞增，5年後增加1.4%的整體人力開支，況且現時說的是前線的情況。
Frankly speaking I would rather the brothers and sisters of my company to work harder to increase business turnover for us than to haggle over the 1.4 % increase in manpower cost to be incurred progressively five years later . After all we are talking about the frontline situation
在議案辯論中，不少議員就香港在國家"十四五"規劃下的創科發展提出寶貴意見。
During the motion debate a number of Members have presented valuable views on Hong Kongs innovation and technology IT development under the National 14th Five - Year Plan
我以下會作重點回應。
I will give a focused response as follows
國家"十四五"規劃明確支持香港建設國際創新科技中心和更好融入國家發展大局，並與內地優勢互補，協同發展，更將深港河套納入粵港澳4個重大合作平台之一，充分反映了中央對香港創科的重視。
The National 14th Five - Year Plan clearly supports Hong Kongs development into an international IT hub and integration into national development leveraging the complementary advantages with the Mainland for synergistic development and has included the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Loop as one of the four major platforms of cooperation between Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao
我們的總體戰略是憑藉中央對香港的支持，以及香港在"一國兩制"下多項優勢，包括本地大學的雄厚科研實力、自由經濟體系、完善的知識產權保護制度等，繼續積極參與粵港澳大灣區國際科技創新中心建設，從外循環及內循環兩方面發揮香港所長，貢獻國家所需。
All these fully demonstrate the great importance the Central Authorities attach to Hong Kongs IT . Our overall strategy is to capitalize on the support of the Central Authorities for Hong Kong and the various advantages of Hong Kong under one country two systems including the strong research and development RD capabilities of local universities a free economy and a robust intellectual property rights protection regime to continue to actively engage in the development of the international IT hub in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA in order to capitalize on what Hong Kong is good at via external circulation and domestic circulation and contribute to what the country needs
外循環方面，特區政府的創科旗艦項目"InnoHK創新香港研發平台"成功吸引了一批世界級的科研機構落戶，支持香港發展成為環球科研合作中心。
On external circulation the InnoHK research clusters which are the SAR Governments flagship IT projects have successfully attracted a number of world - class scientific research institutions to establish their presence in Hong Kong thereby supporting Hong Kongs development into a hub for global RD collaboration
首兩個平台分別聚焦於醫療科技，以及人工智能及機械人科技。
The first two clusters focus on healthcare technologies and artificial intelligence and robotic technologies respectively
首批20間研發中心已完成實驗室裝修工程，並正陸續啟動，其餘7間研發中心亦會於今年內陸續啟動。
The first batch of 20 admitted RD centres have completed the renovation of their laboratories and commenced operation progressively and the remaining seven RD centres will commence operation later this year
此外，我們亦正全力發展位處落馬洲河套地區的港深創新及科技園，以聯繫全球頂尖企業、研發機構和高等院校建立重點科研合作基地。
Furthermore we are also taking forward the development of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park HSITP located in the Lok Ma Chau Loop in full swing with a view to establishing a key base for cooperation in scientific research through converging the worlds top - tier enterprises RD institutions and higher education institutions
感謝立法會財務委員會於今年2月批准相關撥款，港深創科園公司正進行詳細設計，並會在明年年初首幅土地完成平整後隨即展開有關工程，務求使第一批次共8座樓宇可於2024年至2027年間分階段落成。
Thanks to the funding approval by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council in February this year the HSITP Company has started working on the detailed design and will commence the relevant construction works as soon as the first site is formed early next year with a view to completing the first batch of eight buildings in phases between 2024 and 2027
內循環方面，我們亦與深圳市攜手建設由深圳科創園區和港深創科園組成的深港科技創新合作區，實現"一區兩園"，發揮港深兩地優勢互補，助力大灣區建設國際科技創新中心。
On domestic circulation we are also working with the Shenzhen Municipal Government to build the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Cooperation Zone which comprises the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone and HSITP so as to establish one zone two parks and leverage the complementary advantages of both Hong Kong and Shenzhen with a view to developing GBA into an international IT hub
"一區兩園"工作進度良好：首先，港深兩地政府已同意在港深創科園首批樓宇落成前，由科技園公司承租及管理深圳科創園區的部分地方作香港科學園分園，讓有興趣開展大灣區業務的機構和企業先落戶深圳科創園區。
The initiative of one zone two parks is in good progress Firstly the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen have agreed that before the completion of the first batch of buildings in HSITP the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation will lease and manage certain areas of Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone as a branch of the Hong Kong Science Park so that the institutes and enterprises that are interested in starting their business in GBA can first establish a presence in the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone
第三，兩地政府將推出合作區的聯合政策，探索提供科研資源、資金及人流等方面的便利流動及支援措施，並共同向外推廣港深兩地在創科方面的優勢，攜手為合作區招才引智。
Thirdly the governments on both sides will roll out joint policy for the Cooperation Zone explore to provide facilitation and supportive measures in the aspects of RD resources capital and people flow and join hands to promote their advantages in IT with a view to attracting talents to the Cooperation Zone
此外，特區政府亦已推出大灣區青年就業計劃，當中特設創科職位，期望能增強香港青年人對大灣區內地城市的認識。
In addition the SAR Government has also launched the GBA Youth Employment Scheme offering IT posts with a view to enhancing the understanding of Hong Kong young people about the Mainland cities of GBA
為更好發揮大灣區各城市的優勢互補，特區政府會繼續推動區內人才、資金、物資、信息等科研要素流動。
To better leverage the complementary advantages among different cities in GBA the SAR Government will continue to facilitate the flow of RD elements including talent capital goods and information in the area
有關工作亦取得了不少重要進展，例如至今已有超過3億4,000多萬元人民幣內地科研資金跨境撥付給本地的大學及科研機構，進行約140個研發項目、參與建立19個粵港澳實驗室及建立一個實驗室的香港分部。
Significant progress has been made . For example so far over RMB340 million Mainland RD funding has been remitted across the border to local universities and RD institutions for conducting some 140 RD projects participating in the establishment of 19 Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Joint Laboratories and setting up the Hong Kong Branch of a laboratory
此外，至今已有4所由香港的大學在內地設立的分支機構獲國家科技部確認符合特定條件，可列為試點單位，獨立申請內地人類遺傳資源出境來港以進行研究。
Moreover so far four Mainland branches established by local universities have been confirmed by the Ministry of Science and Technology to be meeting specific requirements and will be allowed to lodge applications for exporting Mainland human genetic resources to Hong Kong for research purpose independently under the scheme
大灣區發展為香港創科帶來無限的機遇，而國家在"十四五"規劃下更是給予香港強而有力的支持。
The GBA development brings unlimited opportunities to the IT sector of Hong Kong and the country has given Hong Kong strong and powerful support under the 14th Five - Year Plan
我們定必把握好這個黃金機遇，更好融入國家發展大局，加強與大灣區內地城市的創科合作。
We must seize this golden opportunity to better integrate with the overall development of the country and step up the IT collaboration with the Mainland cities of GBA
我們亦會在這方面繼續積極聽取各持份者的意見，集思廣益，共同推動香港的創科發展。
We will continue to listen actively to the views of various stakeholders in this regard and pool our wisdom to promote the IT development in Hong Kong
主席，香港長久以來分開法定假日和公眾假期。
President holidays in Hong Kong have long been categorized into statutory holidays SHs and general holidays GHs
雖然內容有不理想和具爭議之處，但我原則上是支持的。
While the Bill contains some elements that are undesirable and controversial I support it in principle
這款額是以2011年的薪金水平計算，當時估計放取法定假日的僱員約有100萬人。
This amount was calculated on the basis of the wage level in 2011 and based on the assumption that about 1 million employees were entitled to SHs
坦白說，當時18億元的薪金，對中小型企業的僱主而言，是相當沉重的負擔，但對當時庫房充裕的政府而言，卻只是小數目。
Frankly speaking a wage cost of 1.8 billion was a heavy burden for employers of small and medium enterprises SMEs at that time but it was a small amount to the Government given its abundant fiscal reserves at that time
因此，我當時建議由政府支付18億元，資助100萬名勞工，每年多放5日假期，讓商界及勞工界可以有時間慢慢討論，研究將兩類假期劃一。
Therefore I proposed that the Government pay 1.8 billion to subsidize 1 million workers to enjoy five more holidays each year so that the business sector and the labour sector could have time to discuss and study the alignment of the two types of holidays
多年來，勞工界和我均多次向上屆特首和財政司司長提出劃一假期。
Over the years the labour sector and I have repeatedly proposed the alignment of the number of SHs with GHs to the former Chief Executive and the Financial Secretary
時至今天，雖然政府願意劃一假期日數，但卻不會出資，改為用8年逐步實施。
Today the Government is willing to align the number of SHs with GHs but it offers no funding and intends to spend eight years time to achieve the alignment progressively instead
這個方法較慢，但現實是要大量中小企即時支付全數額外的薪金金額，在今時今日的環境下很難做到。
While this approach may be slower it actually requires a substantial number of SMEs to pay the additional wage costs in full immediately under the current circumstances
原本由政府資助，也是可考慮的方案，但如今庫房因"救災"而出現赤字，相信庫房也無能為力。
Originally it could be a viable option with government subsidy . Now that the public coffers are in the red owing to disaster relief I do not believe assistance can still be offered
因此，在衡量各項因素後，我傾向支持政府的建議。
Therefore having considered all the factors I am inclined to support the Governments proposal
今天的另一項爭議，是外籍家庭傭工會同時享有新增的法定假日。
Another controversy today is the entitlement of the additional SHs on foreign domestic helpers FDHs
目前，超過30萬個家庭需要聘用外傭，負責照顧家庭的起居飲食，他們的職責相當重要。
At present over 300 000 families have to employ FDHs to take care of their living and dietary needs . The role of FDHs is very important
如果即時增加5日法定假日，很多家庭會直接受到影響。
If the five additional SHs are to be added immediately many families will be directly affected
即使僱主願意支付額外薪金，也未必能夠聘得合適的替工。
Even if the employers are willing to pay additional wages they may not be able to hire suitable substitute workers
如要照顧小朋友和長者則更難，有時候有錢也聘請不到，屆時可能產生不少問題。
When it comes to taking care of children and elderly people there will be even greater difficulties and sometimes employers cannot hire any FDH even though they are willing to pay more . This may give rise to many problems
另一方面，對於外傭應否享有同等權益，社會有不同的意見。
Besides the community has divergent views about whether FDHs should enjoy equal entitlements
但是，正如政府解釋，如果今次劃一假期將外傭摒諸門外，會涉及公平問題，因為外傭一直與本地僱員享有《僱傭條例》的權益，而香港亦必須遵守相關的國際公約。
However as the Government has explained it will be unfair to FDHs if they are excluded from the proposed alignment . This is because FDHs have all along enjoyed equal entitlements as local employees under the Employment Ordinance and Hong Kong also is obliged to comply with the relevant international convention
我知悉不少僱主有強烈意見，現在分階段實施，讓家庭可以慢慢過渡和適應，也是平衡各方意見後提出的方案。
I am aware that many employers have strong views on this issue . The current proposal to increase the number of SHs in phases which allows the families to undergo transition and adapt to the changes gradually is one that has balanced the views of various parties
總括而言，目前經濟仍處復蘇初期，生意難做，個別行業甚至處於困難時期，商界難免對《條例草案》有保留，甚至有強烈意見。
All in all the economy is still at an early stage of recovery . As the business environment is harsh and some sectors are even caught in a predicament the business sector inevitably has reservation and even strong views about the Bill
因此，在推行時間上，現在並非最佳時機，但政府並沒有選擇等待，而是採用這個折衷的辦法，我認為這也是情理兼備的處理方式。
Therefore now is not the best time to implement the Bill . But instead of waiting the Government has adopted a stopgap approach which I think is a reasonable and sensible way of handling
過去立法會面對反對派的阻撓，令政府立法困難重重。
Previously as the Legislative Council was faced with hindrances from the opposition camp it was difficult for the Government to enact legislation
現在立法會重回正軌，政府今天便把這項關乎重要民生問題的《條例草案》提交立法會表決。
Now that the Legislative Council is back on track the Government tabled this Bill on major livelihood issues for voting in the Legislative Council today
雖然有關建議須用8年分階段完成，但公道一點來說，政府有決心解決民生的問題，我希望今屆和下一屆政府可以繼續秉持這種態度，為香港人解決各項深層次矛盾。
While the proposed alignment will take eight years to complete in phases it would be fair to say that the Government is determined to address livelihood issues . I hope that the current - term Government and the next - term Government will continue to adopt this attitude to resolve various deep - rooted conflicts for the people of Hong Kong
簡單而言，如果《條例草案》獲立法會通過，便會修訂《僱傭條例》第391條，由2022年起至2030年，逐步將5日現時不屬於法定假日的公眾假期加入法定假日之列。
Simply put if the Bill is passed by the Legislative Council section 391 of the Ordinance will be amended to add the five general holidays that are currently not SHs progressively from 2022 to 2030 to the list of SHs
代理主席，我也有參與《條例草案》的法案委員會的工作，最後共有6位議員同事提出52項修正案。
Deputy President I have also joined the Bills Committee to study the Bill . A total of six Members have proposed 52 amendments in the end
我亦詳細閱讀了主席近日發出的裁決文件，內容涵蓋了批准3位同事提出的12項修正案的理由，以及不批准其他修正案的原因。
I have also carefully studied the ruling issued by the President recently which has set out the reasons for ruling the 12 amendments proposed by three colleagues admissible and the reasons for ruling other amendments inadmissible
議員同事的修正案主要分為四大類，即增加多一天法定假期，加快增加法定假期的步伐並延後實施增加法定假日，將增訂5天法定假日的各相關生效日期延遲兩年，以及摒除留宿家庭傭工可享有5天新增法定假日。
The amendments proposed by our colleagues can be classified into four major categories viz . adding one more day of SH; advancing the pace of increasing SHs and deferring the implementation of the additional SHs; deferring the respective effective dates of the five additional SHs for two years and excluding live - in domestic servants from the entitlement to the five additional SHs
由於主席已不批准部分議員同事的擬議修正案，包括潘兆平議員提出將每年9月3日的中國人民抗日戰爭勝利紀念日列為法定假日及鍾國斌議員有關家庭傭工等的擬議修正案，我不在此逐一詳述。
Since some of the amendments proposed by Members including Mr POON Siu - pings amendment to designate the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on 3 September every year as an SH and Mr CHUNG Kwok - pans amendment to exclude domestic helpers have been ruled inadmissible by the President I will not elaborate on them
不過，順帶一提，其實9月3日的抗日戰爭勝利紀念日對香港來說是十分重要的日子，我個人認為值得重視，但這次因被裁定超出原有《條例草案》的範圍及主題而未獲主席批准提出。
Nevertheless I would like to mention in passing that the Victory Day of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on 3 September is very important day to Hong Kong so I personally consider it worth attaching great importance . However it was ruled inadmissible by the President because it is outside the original scope and subject matter of the Bill
不過，話說回來，民建聯明白120萬名"打工仔女"很想與享有"銀行假"的工種或僱員看齊，人人都想享有足17天的法定假日。
Nevertheless back to our discussion DAB understands that the 1.2 million wage earners want so much to be on a par with those work types or employees who are entitled to bank holidays . Everyone wants to enjoy 17 days of SHs
我們支持特首在去年1月正式提出這項建議，因為這項建議回應了很多政黨和工會的訴求，特別是對於工聯會的同事，我也知道他們過去很努力爭取。
We support the Chief Executives move to formally put forward this proposal in January last year because it has responded to the demands of many political parties and trade unions . This is particularly significant to the fellow colleagues of FTU because I know they have been fighting so hard in the past for the alignment
另一方面，這亦是一項家庭友善政策，有助工作與生活達至平衡，即work-life balance。
On the other hand this is also a family - friendly measure which is conducive to achieving work - life balance
因此，有一定的假期休息，對大家都好。
Hence it is good for all to have certain holiday breaks
據我對工會方面的了解，勞工顧問委員會一直也要求加快新增5天法定假日的步伐，不希望等足8年，而是希望兩類假期的日數可以早日看齊。
According to my understanding of the trade unions the Labour Advisory Board LAB has been urging to advance the pace in increasing the five days of SHs . It does not want to wait for as long as eight years but hopes that the numbers of the two types of holidays can be expeditiously aligned
不過，另一方面，我在此亦聽到不同議員的意見，特別是商界提到因應對新冠疫情，很多中小微企和僱主代表也面對很大壓力，所以不同意以少於8年時間落實有關建議。
Nonetheless on the other hand I also heard different views from Members here . In particular the business sector mentioned that many representatives of micro small and medium enterprises and employers are facing huge pressure in tackling the novel coronavirus epidemic and do not agree to implement the proposal in less than eight years time
因此，就現在《條例草案》提出新增5天法定假日，勞顧會一直未有共識，當中僱主代表認為政府的修訂原意已是他們的底線。
Therefore regarding the present proposal of adding five days of SHs in the Bill LAB has yet to reach a consensus . The employer members in LAB consider that the original legislative amendments of the Government are their bottom line position
代理主席，民建聯認為，這項《條例草案》是在勞資雙方長期就有關議題未有共識下，政府自行提交給立法會審議的。
Deputy President DAB holds that this Bill is introduced by the Government on its own initiative for consideration by the Legislative Council in view of the long - standing failure of employers and employees to reach a consensus
老實說，政府已力求在實施時間表上盡量在勞方與資方之間取得平衡，我認為這已是得來不易。
Honestly the Government has strived to strike a balance between employers and employees on the implementation timetable as far as possible and I think this is hard - earned
我很明白，亦在探訪社區時看到，中小微企真正面對經營上的困難，所以增加數天假期可能對他們會有多一重壓力。
I very much understand and see during my visit to the community that micro small and medium enterprises are indeed plagued by operational difficulties so adding a few holidays may have imposed further pressure on them
《基本法》第八十二條訂明，終審法院可根據需要，邀請其他普通法適用地區的法官參加審判。
Article 82 of the Basic Law stipulates that the Court of Final Appeal CFA may as required invite judges from other common law jurisdictions to sit on CFA
終審法 院審判庭由5名法官組成，當中包括一名非常任香港法官或海外法官。
CFA is constituted by five judges including either a non - permanent Hong Kong judge or an overseas judge
主席，我們用普通常識聽到的講法是"如有需要"，但觀乎過往的往績，事實上每次都有需要。
President deducing by common sense what we heard is when necessary . However judging from the previous cases it is actually necessary to invite overseas judges each and every time
按照局長所說的數字，多年來除了有些法官未能配合或遇有突發事件外，每次都是有需要的。
According to the figures mentioned by the Chief Secretary with the exception of unavailability of judges or unforeseen circumstances it is always necessary over the past years
事實上，過往5年，在143宗案件中只有2宗例外。
In fact in the past five years there have been only two exceptions out of 143 cases
我想問司長是否知道，世界上有哪些國家的終審法院會有外籍法官參與審判案件，而案件不僅牽涉法律，還牽涉國安問題，甚或有關民族的價值觀的問題，以至應否有同性戀婚姻或福利等方面的重大問題？
May I ask the Chief Secretary whether any countries in the world have invited foreign judges to sit on their courts of final appeal for cases involving not only legal but also national security issues issues relating to national values or even major issues such as gay marriage or welfare benefits?
是否有國家好像香港般容許外籍法官參與審判甚至主導審判案件呢？
Is there any country like Hong Kong that allows foreign judges to sit or even preside over a case?
主席，請問司長，自去年5月全國人大通過制定《香港國安法》的決定至目前為止，有多少名海外法官拒絕接受終審法院非常任普通法地區法官的任命，以及他們所屬的國籍及拒絕理由為何？
President may I ask the Chief Secretary how many overseas judges have refused to accept CFAs appointment of CLNPJ since the National Peoples Congress passed its decision to enact the National Security Law in May last year and what their nationalities and grounds of refusal are?
主席，多年來，"一國兩制"在香港都是行之有效的，而香港在"一國兩制"下一直都是沿用普通法的體制。
President one country two systems has worked well in Hong Kong for many years and Hong Kong has always followed the common law system under the principle of one country two systems
多年來，我們看到很多外國人對香港的評論其實都有欠公平或不準確，他們對於香港社會的發展及情況亦不了解。
Over the years we have seen many unfair or inaccurate comments made on Hong Kong by foreigners who do not understand the development and situation of Hong Kongs society
讓我重複一次，他們的評論都不全面、不準確，甚至帶有偏見的理解。
Let me repeat . Their comments are incomprehensive inaccurate and even biased
我想問司長，當我們委任海外法官時，如何了解及確認被委任的人士對香港及中國的實際情況有正確的見解呢？
I would like to ask the Chief Secretary how we can understand and ascertain that the overseas judges to be appointed have a correct understanding of the actual situation of Hong Kong and China when we make the appointment?
主席，根據《基本法》第八十二條，香港歡迎海外法官在有需要時參加審判。
President according to Article 82 of the Basic Law Hong Kong welcomes overseas judges to sit on trials as required
但是，對於香港和個別法官而言，可能未必所有案件均適合海外法官參與。
However for Hong Kong and individual judges probably not all trials are suitable for overseas judges to sit on
我們看到剛才司長在主體答覆的第二段提到《香港終審法院條例》第16條，其中"終審法院審判庭須"中的"須"字，英文是"shall"，即是一定的意思，但《基本法》則是用"可"字，即是"may"。
We have noticed that in the second paragraph of the main reply the Chief Secretary referred to section 16 of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance the word shall is used in all appeals shall be heard which means must . However in the Basic Law the word may is used instead
換言之，終審法院應該擁有酌情權，而一旦本地法例與《基本法》有所抵觸，其實是以《基本法》為準的。
In other words CFA should have discretion and if local legislation is in conflict with the Basic Law actually the Basic Law should prevail
我想問局長，是否可以在將來任命這些海外非常任法官時，加緊進行嚴謹的背景審查，包括翻查他們過去發表的公開言論，作清楚的背景審查，避免這些情況再次發生？
May I ask the Chief Secretary whether it is possible to conduct more rigorous background checks when appointing these overseas NPJs in the future including examining the public remarks made by them previously so that the recurrence of this situation can be prevented by thorough background checks?
"十四五"規劃訂立了國家專注發展科研、創新領域和現代產業的遠景目標。
The 14th Five - Year Plan specifies the countrys long - range objectives of focusing its development on scientific research innovation fields and a modern industrial system
"十四五"規劃提到香港在粵港澳大灣區中更多的角色和定位，明確展現了中央支持香港繼續鞏固競爭力。
The 14th Five - Year Plan has introduced more roles and positioning for Hong Kong in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA which clearly demonstrates the Central Authorities support for Hong Kong to continue to reinforce our competitiveness
香港更加要發揮原來在國際金融、航運貿易和專業法律等方面的優勢。
Hong Kong has to make greater efforts to leverage our existing strengths in international finance transportation trade professional and legal services
更重要的是，特區政府要加強配套和政策支援，才能夠為國家經濟轉型作出貢獻和分享經濟成果。
More importantly the SAR Government has to enhance the complementary measures and policy support so as to contribute to the economic transformation of the country and enjoy the fruits of economic development
主席，民建聯早已就大灣區不同範疇的發展提出不少建議，不知政府有否認真考慮。
President DAB has already put forward quite a number of proposals on the development of GBA in various areas . I wonder whether the Government has given them serious consideration
