北環線主線對於釋放沿線土地未能充分利用的發展潛力至關重要。
The main line of NOL is of paramount importance to unleash the development potential which is unable to be put to full use along its alignment
除了錦上路和凹頭站附近的一些中低密度的現有或已規劃的住宅發展外，沿線的其他地區尚待發展。
Except for a few low - to - medium density existingplanned residential developments in the vicinity of Kam Sheung Road Station and Au Tau Station the areas along the alignment are yet to be developed
北環線的落實可為有關地區創造更多發展機遇，令該區一帶的土地用途更為高效，從而實現本屆政府提倡基建先行及創造容量的規劃方式，而此規劃方式在沒有北 環線的情景下是無法實現。
The implementation of NOL can create more development opportunities for the area concerned to improve the use of land in the vicinity of the area thereby realizing the infrastructure - led and capacity creating planning approach advocated by the current - term Government . And yet this planning approach cannot be realized without NOL
運輸能力的提高不僅有利於規劃中的主要政府項目，還能鼓勵發展商提前推展其發展計劃，以及造就更多房屋單位的供應。
Not only will the enhancement of transport capability benefit key government projects under planning it can also encourage developers to advance their developments and bring about a larger housing yield
至於規劃所需要的時間方面，詳細規劃及設計階段一般需要2至3年，當中涉及一連串工作，包括諮詢公眾及持份者並處理有關的意見、進行可行性研究、工地勘察、項目設計、把鐵路計劃刊憲及處理反對意見、進行環境影響評估、爭取鐵路計劃的相關授權，以及擬備與香港鐵路有限公司的相關協議等。
As regards the time required for planning the detailed planning and design stage generally takes two to three years and would involve a number of activities including consultation with the public and stakeholders and resolution of the comments received carrying out feasibility study site investigation project design gazettal of railway schemes and handling of objections carrying out environmental impact assessment seeking authorization of the railway schemes as well as preparation of relevant agreements with the MTR Corporation Limited
我們明白議員對時間需要方面的關注，我們會盡可能在可行的情況下壓縮工作，以期加快基建施工。
We understand Honourable Members concerns over the time required and will compress our work as far as practicable with a view to expediting the delivery of infrastructure projects
對於搬遷葵青貨櫃碼頭方面的意見，港口對香港經濟發展非常重要，是貿易及物流業的重要一環。
Concerning the views on relocating the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals ports are very important for Hong Kongs economic development and form an integral part of the trading and logistics industry
貿易及物流業是香港四大經濟支柱之一，佔本地生產總值約五分之一和就業人口的17.5%。
The trading and logistics industry is one of Hong Kongs four key economic pillars with its economic contribution accounting for about one - fifth of the Gross Domestic Product and 17.5 % of the working population
儘管近年區內其他港口快速發展而為香港港口業務帶來挑戰，但香港一直保持其世界十大港口的地位，2020年吞吐量達1,800萬個標準箱。
Despite the challenges brought by the rapid growth of other ports in the region to Hong Kongs port business in recent years Hong Kong maintains its status as one of the worlds top 10 ports with the cargo throughput of 2020 reaching 1 800 twenty - foot equivalent units
而國家"十四五"規劃和《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》亦支持香港提升國際航運中心地位。
Moreover the National 14 Five - Year Plan and the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area also support Hong Kong to entrench its status as an international maritime centre
目前香港港口運作良好，我們會繼續透過強化現有港口設施，提升港口競爭力。
The ports of Hong Kong are currently operating well . We will continue to enhance its competitiveness through strengthening existing port facilities
港口的運作有其獨特性，在現址運作不單有利於配套設施的相互協作，亦與周邊後勤用地的發展有協同效應。
Given the uniqueness of port operation not only is operating the port in its present location conducive to the mutual collaboration of ancillary facilities it also has a synergy effect with the development of the peripheral logistic sites
我們會繼續監察香港港口業的發展，包括貨物吞吐量的變化，以確保能夠適時提供所需的港口設施及與港口相關的基建設施，支援港口發展。
We will continue to monitor the development of Hong Kongs port business including changes in cargo throughput so as to ensure timely provision of the necessary port facilities and port - related infrastructural facilities to support the development of the port
房屋是重要的民生問題，亦是現屆政府決心解決的重大問題。
Housing is both an important livelihood issue and a significant problem that the current - term Government is determined to solve
政府在2020年的施政報告，以及《長遠房屋策略2020年周年進度報告》裏公布，經過多年的努力，政府已覓得330公頃的土地，興建316,000個公營房屋單位，可以滿足未來10年，即是2021-2022年度至2030-2031年度，大約301,000個單位的公營房屋的需求。
In the Policy Address 2020 and the Long Term Housing Strategy Annual Progress Report 2020 the Government announced that after many years of efforts it has identified 330 hectares of land to build 316 000 public housing units satisfying the demand for about 301 000 public housing units for the next decade
至於檢討《長遠房屋策略》的意見，《長策》是一個逐年延展的10年總房屋需求的推算，是用客觀的數據來推算未來房屋的需求，是客觀而科學的方法。
As regards the opinion about reviewing the Long Term Housing Strategy LTHS LTHS is a projection of the rolling 10 - year total housing demand . It is an objective and scientific method to project future housing demand using objective data
房屋的供應不足是現在社會十分關注的議題，而增加整體房屋用地的供應是解決房屋供應問題的最根本的方法。
Housing supply deficiency is a subject of great concern in society today . Increasing the overall supply of housing sites is the fundamental solution to the housing supply problem
除覓地建屋之外，政 府各部門亦全力推動工作及加強內部協調，務求依時完成所需的程序，並且致力在可行的情況之下，加快發展流程。
In addition to identifying sites for housing construction various government departments are also striving to take forward the relevant work and improve internal coordination with a view to completing the necessary processes and expediting the development process as far as practicable
近年，香港房屋委員會亦採取一系列的措施，增加公營房屋的供應，包括房委會將會重建轄下4幢工廠大廈，用作房屋用途，其中3幢，如成功規劃，可於2031年提供大約4,200個單位。
In recent years the Hong Kong Housing Authority HA also adopts a series of measures to increase public housing supply which including the redevelopment of four of its factory estates by HA for housing use . Subject to successful planning three of them will be able to provide around 4 200 units in 2031
第二是重建石籬中轉屋，作為公營房屋的發展，已獲得城市規劃委員會的批准，放寬用地規劃的限制，預計可於2028年提供大約1,600個單位。
The second measure is the redevelopment of Shek Lei Interim Housing for public housing development . Approval for relaxing planning restrictions on the site has been granted by the Town Planning Board . It is expected that about 1 600 units can be provided in 2028
有關重建公共屋邨的建議，房委會一直按其"重建高樓齡公共租住屋邨的優化政策"下的4個基本原則，即樓宇的結構狀況、修葺工程的成本效益、重建屋邨附近是否有合適的遷置資源，以及原址重建的潛力，就實際情況謹慎考慮是否重建個別公共屋邨。
Concerning the proposal of redeveloping public housing estates HA has all along based on the four basic principles under the Refined Policy on Redevelopment of Aged Public Rental Housing Estates namely structural conditions of buildings cost - effectiveness of repair works availability of suitable rehousing resources in the vicinity of the estates to be redeveloped and build - back potential upon redevelopment to prudently consider the redevelopment of individual public housing estates in the light of the actual circumstances
重建公共屋邨長遠而言或可增加公共租住房屋供應，但重建需時甚久，並往往要在重建項目的較後期才能提供額外單位；而短期可供編配的公屋單位數量則會減少，原因是需要動用大量本來可編配予有迫切住屋需要家庭的公屋單位，用作安置受重建影響的公屋居民。
Redeveloping public housing estates may increase public rental housing PRH supply over the long term but redevelopment takes a long time and additional flats would often be made available only towards the latter phase of the redevelopment . In the short term PRH stock available for allocation will be reduced because a large number of PRH units that may otherwise be allocated to households with imminent housing needs would be used for resettling PRH residents affected by redevelopment instead
有關安排不但即時減少公屋供應，亦無可避免地延長等待"上樓"家庭的輪候時間。
Such an arrangement not only instantly reduces public housing supply but also inevitably lengthens the queuing time for families awaiting flat allocation
因此，重建公共屋邨在增加房屋供應方面，只能擔當輔助的角色。
Therefore redevelopment of public housing estates can only play a subsidiary role in increasing housing supply
房委會在今年5月24日，公布有關重建轄下工廠大廈為住宅用途的可行性研究結果，以及清拆4幢工廠大廈的安排。
On 24 May this year HA published the study results on the feasibility to redevelop its factory estates for residential use and the clearance and demolition arrangement of four factory estates
四幢擬清拆的工廠大廈大約有2,100個受影響的租戶，為了加快重建的步伐，會在改劃用地的期間，同時清空4個工廠大廈的租戶，然後拆卸建築物，以期縮短重建時間，提早供應公營房屋單位，滿足需求。
The four factory estates intended for clearance and demolition have about 2 100 affected tenants . In order to speed up the pace of development HA will proceed with the clearance of the tenants of the four factory estates and thereafter demolition of the buildings while the rezoning exercise of the sites is in progress so as to shorten the redevelopment programme and advance the supply of public housing units to meet demand
政府在積極覓地和造地方面當然希望可以改善市民的居住質素，包括環境及空間，但我們明白我們要善用公共資源，因此我們需要將有限的公營房屋的資源，提供給需要盡快編配"上樓"的人士。
In respect of actively identifying and creating land the Government certainly hopes to improve peoples living quality in such aspects as environment and space but we understand the importance of making good use of public resources . Therefore we have to provide the limited public housing resources to those who need to be allocated with a flat as soon as possible
至於"劏房"租務管制方面，我們的目標是在本立法年度內提交條例草案。
As for tenancy control of subdivided units we aim to introduce a bill within the current legislative year
至於過渡性房屋方面，我們有信心在今年上半年，找到15,000個過渡性房屋單位的用地。
Concerning transitional housing we are confident that we can identify the sites for 15 000 transitional housing units in the first half of this year
主席，我細心聆聽了議員的一些意見，亦感謝各位議員就"全方位增加土地供應"方面提供許多寶貴的意見。
President I have listened attentively to Honourable Members views and thank them for sharing of their valuable opinions about the motion on Increasing land supply on all fronts
運輸及房屋局會就今天各位議員提供的建議進行仔細研究，並會繼續配合發展局的相關政策，釋放土地發展潛力。
The Transport and Housing Bureau will carefully study the proposals provided by Members today and continue to tie in with the relevant policies of the Development Bureau for unleashing land development potential
據悉，不少居家長者因缺乏對藥物的知識，不當整理及存放藥物，甚至同時服用多種藥物引致服藥過量或藥效相抵銷而不自知，因而損害健康。
It is learnt that due to a lack of knowledge of medications quite a number of the elderly living at home organize and store medications improperly and even unknowingly take at the same time multiple medications that cause an overdose or cancel out each others effects thus harming their health
此外，安老院舍不時發生錯派藥物，以及沒有備存準確的用藥紀錄等藥物事故。
Furthermore medication incidents such as wrong dispensation of medication and failure to keep accurate medication records have occurred from time to time at residential care homes for the elderly RCHEs
例如，去年發生一宗院舍長者懷疑因服食了獲派的錯誤藥物而患上腦血管疾病及昏迷的事件。
For example an incident occurred last year in which an elderly resident of an RCHE suffered from cerebrovascular disease and fell into a coma allegedly because she had taken the wrong medication given to her
主席，經諮詢食物及衞生局後，我現綜合答覆如下： 一 由政府資助為體弱長者提供家居照顧服務的營辦機構，必須為每一位體弱長者進行評估以制訂個人照顧計劃，包括根據長者本人及其家庭情況評估他/她是否需要藥物管理服務。
President having consulted the Food and Health Bureau FHB my consolidated reply is as follows 1 Operators subsidized by the Government to provide home care services for the frail elderly have to conduct assessment of each frail elderly person in order to formulate their individual care plans including assessing whether heshe needs drug management service taking into account the conditions of the elderly person concerned and hisher family
營辦機構會向有需要的長者提供藥物管理服務，當中包括指導長者檢查藥物的有效期和分藥、為長者及照顧者提供有關藥物的資訊及協助長者理解依時服藥的重要性等。
Operators will provide drug management service for elderly persons in need which includes advising them to check the expiry date of medication and sorting medication providing them and their carers with information related to medication assisting them to understand the importance of taking medication on time etc
為扭轉現時"重治療，輕預防"的醫療體制和觀念，政府透過食衞局正在全港18區設立地區康健中心，並由護士、專職醫療人員、藥劑師、社工及支援人員所組成的跨專業團隊，在地區層面提供由政府資助的健康推廣、健康評估、慢性疾病管理及社區復康等服務。
In a bid to shift the emphasis of the present healthcare system and mindset from treatment - oriented to prevention - focused the Government through FHB is setting up District Health Centres DHCs in all 18 districts across the territory . A multidisciplinary team comprising nurses allied health professionals pharmacists social workers and supporting staff provides government - funded services including health promotion health assessment chronic disease management and community rehabilitation at district level
其中，作為康健中心團隊的駐場藥劑師負責為會員提供免費的藥物諮詢及用藥輔導服務。
As part of the DHC team the on - site pharmacists are responsible for providing free medication consultation and drug compliance counselling service to members
康健中心亦會擔當地區基層醫療樞紐的角色，聯繫社區裏的公營、私營、非政府機構提供的基層醫療服務，為市民提供醫療服務及社區資源的資訊，增加資訊透明度，並在市民有需要時給予專業指導並加以協調。
Meanwhile DHCs are positioned as district primary healthcare hubs to connect the primary healthcare services provided by the public sector private sector and non - governmental organizations in the community with a view to providing healthcare services and information on community resources to the public and enhancing information transparency . DHCs also strive to offer professional guidance to members of the public when needed and in a coordinated manner
食衞局會持續檢視藥劑服務的需要及其在基層醫療健康中發揮的作用。
FHB will continue to review the demand for pharmacy services and their role in primary healthcare
另外，社會福利發展基金在2010-2011年度至2020-2021年度期間，曾資助福利機構推行了16項有關安老院藥物管理的項目； d 社署自2018年10月起為全港安老院安排外展醫生到診服務。
Besides between 2010 - 2011 and 2020 - 2021 the Social Welfare Development Fund subsidized welfare organizations to implement 16 drug management projects for RCHEs; d Since October 2018 SWD has arranged the Visiting Medical Practitioner Service for all RCHEs in the territory
此外，社署在巡查院舍時會按實際情況向院舍提出改善藥物管理的建議，並定期為院舍舉辦相關的培訓講座；及 e 社署於2019年3月起全數資助安老院的保健員修讀在資歷架構下認可的課程，內容包括藥物處理。
Furthermore SWD provides advice on how drug management should be improved depending on the actual circumstances during inspections and organizes relevant training workshops for RCHs regularly; and e Since March 2019 SWD has provided health workers of RCHEs with full subsidies to attend Qualifications Framework - based courses including those relating to drug management
"安老院舍到院藥劑師服務試驗計劃"於2010年6月開始推行，其主要目的是評估及優化院舍的藥物管理系統及提升員工在藥物管理方面的知識和能力。
The Pilot Scheme on Visiting Pharmacist Services for Residential Care Homes for the Elderly was launched in June 2010 . Its main aim was to assess and optimize the drug management systems in the RCHs and enhance the knowledge and capability of their staff in drug management
參與試驗計劃的安老院數目由首年的26間，逐步下降至2018年計劃結束前的6間。
The number of participating RCHEs dropped gradually from 26 in the first year to six in 2018 right before the completion of the Pilot Scheme
事實上，透過上文5項措施，大多數安老院都已設立有效的藥物管理系統，相關員工也接受了包括藥物處理的訓練，而不再需要試驗計劃所提供的服務。
In fact with the implementation of the five measures mentioned in the above paragraphs majority of RCHEs have established effective drug management systems and their relevant staff have received training including drug management and therefore the services provided by the Pilot Scheme were no longer required
社署會繼續落實上述各項措施，支援安老院的藥物管理，保障長者住客的福祉。
SWD will continue to implement the said measures to support RCHEs in drug management and safeguard the well - being of the elderly residents
三 為進一步優化院舍的監管，社署在2017年6月成立"檢視院舍法例及實務守則工作小組"。
3 To further enhance the regulation of RCHs SWD set up the Working Group on the Review of Ordinances and Codes of Practice for Residential Care Homes in June 2017
政府現正進行法例修訂的草擬工作，完成後將盡快提交立法會審議。
The Government is in the process of drafting the legislative amendments and will submit them to the Legislative Council for scrutiny as soon as practicable upon completion
社署會繼續與業界和持份者保持緊密溝通，為日後實施經修訂的法例作充分準備。
SWD will continue to liaise closely with the sector and stakeholders to prepare for the implementation of the amended regulation in the future
局長會否考慮為長者成立藥劑師外展服務隊？
Will the Secretary consider setting up an outreach pharmacist service team for the elderly?
至於家居服務方面，正如主體答覆所述，如果有這方面的需要，我們會研究如何協助長者定時服藥及不要混淆需要服用的藥物。
As for home services as stated in the main reply if necessary we will consider how to assist the elderly in taking medications on time and avoid mixing up the medications to be taken
局長也知道，現時面對人口老化問題，獨居或雙老家庭的長者人數會越來越多。
As the Secretary is also aware with an ageing population there will be more and more elderly people living alone or families of elderly doubletons
主席，我想議員也知道，現時全港有140萬名長者，而有不同服藥需要的長者為數相當多。
President I think Members also know that there are 1.4 million elderly people in Hong Kong and a lot of them have to take different medications
當然，就這些工作而言，永遠沒有最好，只有更好。
Of course in this regard we expect not the best but better
主席，我動議通過印載於議程內的議案，本會促請政府檢討假期政策，把中國人民抗日戰爭勝利紀念日列為法定假日。
President I move that the following motion as printed on the Agenda be passed That this Council urges the Government to review the holiday policy and designate the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression as a statutory holiday
主席，八年抗戰，可歌可泣，不但展現了中華民族堅韌不屈的民族精神，同時亦彰顯了中華民族前赴後繼，為結束二次世界大戰作出重大貢獻。
President the war of resistance which lasted for eight years was heroic and laudable demonstrating not only the resilience of the Chinese nation but also the significant contribution of Chinese people in fighting dauntlessly to end the World War II
不論從民族影響或歷史發展而言，紀念抗戰勝利也是理所當然。
In terms of the influence on the Chinese nation and historical development it is justifiable for us to commemorate Chinas victory against Japanese aggression
紀念抗戰勝利，並非要把歷史的新仇舊恨重翻一遍，製造更多仇恨和敵意，而是讓參戰各方共同面對戰爭的罪惡，深切反思，領悟和平、生命的可貴，紀念無數在戰爭中失去生命的同胞。
By commemorating the war victory I do not mean to rake over old scores and new in history and incite more hatred and animosity; instead I wish that all parties involved in the war would face up to the evils of war reflect deeply and realize the value of peace and life as well as commemorate the countless compatriots who lost their lives in war
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：潘兆平議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr POON Siu - ping be passed
我會依次請要動議修正案的何啟明議員、尹兆堅議員及張超雄議員發言，但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who will move the amendments to speak in the following order Mr HO Kai - ming Mr Andrew WAN and Dr Fernando CHEUNG but they may not move their amendments at this stage
我想借這次發言機會表達我對工聯會的何啟明議員、民主黨的尹兆堅議員，以及工黨的張超雄議員的修正案的一些看法。
I would like to take this opportunity to express my views on the amendments proposed by Mr HO Kai - ming of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU Mr Andrew WAN of the Democratic Party and Dr Fernando CHEUNG of the Labour Party
工聯會和民主黨的修正案與勞工界的立場基本上是一致的。
The position of the amendments of FTU and the Democratic Party basically dovetails with that of the labour sector
我在原議案的發言時已解釋過，我不把相關修訂內容加入原議案的原因，在這裏我不再重複。
Since I have already explained the reason why I do not incorporate the relevant amendments into my original motion when I spoke on the original motion so I am not going to repeat here
因此，我完全支持工聯會的何啟明議員和民主黨的尹兆堅議員的修正案。
Therefore I fully support the amendments proposed by Mr HO Kai - ming of FTU and Mr Andrew WAN of the Democratic Party
至於工黨張超雄議員的修正案，即使我很細心地聆聽了張議員的發言，但我仍不明白張議員不把中國人民抗日戰爭勝利紀念日列為法定假日的原因。
With regard to the amendment proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG of the Labour Party no matter how careful I listened to Dr CHEUNGs speech I fail to understand why he objects to designate the Victory Day as a statutory holiday
雖然我支持張超雄議員把法定假日和公眾假期劃一的要求，但張議員把我原議案的主要部分刪除。
Although I support Dr Fernando CHEUNGs proposal to align statutory holidays with general holidays he has removed a major part of my original motion
所以，我對張議員的修正案有所保留。
Therefore I have reservation about his amendment
最後，我再次多謝就議案發言的議員，我亦希望議員能夠支持我的原議案，支持工聯會的何啟明議員和民主黨的尹兆堅議員的修正案。
Last of all I would like to once again thank Members who have spoken on the motion and hope that Members will support my original motion as well as the amendments proposed by Mr HO Kai - ming of FTU and Mr Andrew WAN of the Democratic Party
我會先請李慧琼議員發言及動議議案，然後請審議有關附屬法例的小組委員會主席石禮謙議員發言，再請其他議員發言。每位議員只可發言一次，時限為15分鐘。最後我會請官員發言，之後辯論即告結束，議案不會付諸表決。
I will first call upon Ms Starry LEE to speak and move the motion and then call upon the chairman of the subcommittee formed to scrutinize the relevant item of subsidiary legislation Mr Abraham SHEK to speak to be followed by other Members
"檢討假期政策"議案。
Motion on Reviewing the holiday policy
局長完全沒有解釋不把抗日戰爭勝利紀念日列為法定假日的原因，亦不願意檢討假期政策。
The Secretary has simply failed to explain why the Victory Day of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression should not be designated as a statutory holiday; he is also unwilling to review the holiday policy
主席，勞工處曾經在2011年就僱員放取法定假日和公眾假期進行調查，了解香港"打工仔女"放取公眾假期和法定假日的情況。
President the Labour Department conducted a survey in 2011 on the taking of statutory holidays and general holidays by employees so as to study the situation of wage earners taking general holidays and statutory holidays in Hong Kong
增加1天法定假日，預計增加的成本只有3億7,000萬元，對香港的整體經濟影響輕微。
As the estimated cost for one additional statutory holiday is only 0.37 billion the effect on the economy of Hong Kong is minimal
我希望政府以進取的態度積極考慮增加法定假日，以改善僱員的權益。
I hope the Government will actively and positively consider increasing the number of statutory holidays to improve the rights and interests of employees
代理主席，"前事不忘，後事之師"，中國在歷史上飽受日本侵略之苦，長年抗戰，有賴全國人民奮起抵抗，最終戰勝日本的軍國主義。
Deputy President as the saying goes past experience if not forgotten is a guide to the future . In the course of history China suffered greatly because of the Japanese invasions . The whole nation had engaged in resistance for many years and thanks to the courageous resistance of the people it finally gained victory over Japans militarism
在香港，日本於1941年揮軍入侵，當時守軍戰敗，香港 亦曾經歷3年8個月的苦難日子，老一輩的香港人都不會忘記這一段耻辱。
In Hong Kong the Japanese army invaded the territory in 1941 and following the defeat of the defence army Hong Kong people suffered great hardship for three years and eight months . People of the older generation would not forget such shame
2015年，國務院宣布將9月3日列為假期，同年立法會亦通過就"抗日戰爭勝利70周年紀念日"一次性增加1天假期，以紀念中國人民抗爭的歷史，重申反對侵略戰爭的立場，證明這一天具有紀念的意義。
In 2015 the State Council designated 3 September as a holiday . In the same year the Legislative Council also passed a bill to designate an additional holiday on a one - off basis to mark the 70 anniversary of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression so as to commemorate the War of Resistance and reiterate Chinas stance of opposing any war of aggression
當然，如果要把這一天列為法定假日，則要從長計議。
While this day has a commemorative meaning the proposed to designate this day as a statutory holiday certainly requires careful consideration
代理主席，站在市民的角度或立場，多放一天假期固然好，可以有多一天的休息時間，把握與家人相處的機會；從旅遊業的角度，多一天假期，"打工仔"自然可以善用假期，規劃不同的外遊路線，肯定有助旅遊業。
Deputy President from the perspective or position of the people having an additional holiday is certainly good as they can have one more rest day and can spend more time with their families . From the perspective of the travel industry wage earners will naturally make use of the additional holiday and plan for various outbound tours which in turn will benefit the industry
然而，我們身為議員，看問題需要全面，要客觀分析多一天假期，或有議員提出把法定假日和公眾假期的日數看齊所帶來的問題，究竟利多還是弊多呢？
Nevertheless as a Member of the Legislative Council I have to consider the matter in a holistic and objective manner and analyse whether having one additional holiday or aligning statutory holidays with general holidays as proposed by some Members will bring more advantages or disadvantages
政府當局在檢討假期政策時，亦須檢視現行制度是否恰當，考慮在增加假期日數後，對各行各業和香港整體經濟帶來的影響，才能作出合理的調整，而局長剛才亦把一些問題說得很清楚。
When the Administration reviews its holiday policy it has to examine whether the existing policy is appropriate and in what ways the increase in the number of holidays will affect various trades and the economy before making any reasonable adjustment . The Secretary has very clearly told us some of the problems concerned . The current holiday system of Hong Kong originated from the system in 1960s when Hong Kong was under British rule has continued all along
根據勞工處的資料，對比鄰近的經濟體中，同樣有法定假日的地區，最多的是有13天的泰國，其次是有12天的香港。
Labour Day was designated . According to the information of the Labour Department when compared with our neigbouring economies which similarly have statutory holidays Thailand has 13 days of holiday which tops the list; Hong Kong comes second with 12 days
即使在區內只實行一套公眾假期的內地和新加坡，僱員亦只享有11天假期，較現時香港的法定假日為少，反映現時香港的假期實際不較鄰近國家或地區遜色。
In places which only have general holidays such as Mainland China and Singapore employees are only entitled to 11 days of holidays which are fewer than the number of statutory holidays in Hong Kong . The information shows that holiday entitlement of Hong Kong is in fact not inferior to our neighbouring countries or regions
