香港政府至今仍未與世界接軌，更新法例條文，令人懷疑政府存心維護這種嚴重歧視的社會狀態。
Since the Hong Kong Government has still not updated its legal provisions to keep in line with other parts of the world it arouses doubts as to whether the Government actually intends to condone such serious discrimination in society
事實上，政府存心維護歧視、不公平社會的說法，亦不是我無的放矢。
In fact my argument that the Government intends to condone discrimination and inequality in society is not groundless
《種族歧視條例》便是一個很清楚的例子，目前，《種族歧視條例》有明顯的漏洞，條文跟另外3項反歧視條例不一致，是法例上的瑕疵。
RDO is a very clear example . At present there are obvious loopholes in RDO . The inconsistency of the provisions of RDO with those of the other anti - discrimination ordinances is a blemish in the ordinance
《種族歧視條例》第3條訂明，條例對政府具約束力，例如在僱傭、提供服務及教育等範疇。
Section 3 of RDO provides that this Ordinance binds the Government eg . in areas such as employment provision of services education etc
不過，跟其他3項反歧視條例不同的是，《種族歧視條例》沒有條文訂明，政府執行職務和行使權力時，作出基於種族的歧視是違法的。
However the difference is that RDO has not provided that it is unlawful for the Government to discriminate against a person on the ground of race in the performance of its functions or the exercise of its powers
這表示當政府部門和其他公共機構，例如入境事務處、香港警務處及懲教署執行職務和行使權力時，市民得不到《種族歧視條例》的保障。
That means when government departments or public organizations eg . the Hong Kong Police and the Correctional Services Department are performing their functions or exercising their powers members of the public will not be protected under RDO . Let me give an example
我舉個例子，如果有警務人員基於某人的種族而拘捕和羈留他，該人得不到免於種族歧視的保障，因為拘捕行為可被爭辯為警察行使政府職能和權力，而非一項服務，這個例子確曾發生過。
If a police officer arrested and detained a person on the ground of his race the person will not be protected against racial discrimination . The reason is that the act of arrest can be argued as one committed by the Government in the performance of its functions or the exercise of its powers and not in the provision of a service . The situation in this example has actually occurred
在2010年，一名11歲在香港土生土長的印度裔永久居民Mr SINGH表示，在灣仔港鐵站出口被一名華裔成年人大力拉扯，而這名華裔成年人卻表示，Mr SINGH在扶手電梯上碰到他，對他構成攻擊，結果雙方均致電999求救。
In 2010 Mr SINGH an 11 - year - old boy born and raised in Hong Kong who is a permanent resident of Hong Kong of Indian ethnicity said that he was roughly grabbed by a Chinese adult outside an exit of Wan Chai MTR Station . The adult said that Mr SINGH bumped into her on the escalator which amounted to an assault . Finally both of them called 999 for assistance
警方沒有調查和拘捕該名華裔人 士，但Mr SINGH卻被帶到灣仔警署。
The Police did not make enquiries of the adult nor arrested her . Instead they took Mr SINGH to Wan Chai Police Station
雖然他表明自己只能夠說英文，但警方堅持安排一名旁遮普語的翻譯員給他，並把他扣留5個多小時。
Although he clearly indicated he spoke English only the Police insisted on arranging a Punjabi interpreter for him and detained him for more than five hours
Mr SINGH和其監護人根據《種族歧視條例》向警方提出種族歧視的申訴，指警方拘捕和扣留一名印度裔男童的行為構成種族歧視，這宗案件最後在2016年審結，判Mr SINGH和其監護人敗訴，當中敗訴的關鍵是甚麼？
Mr SINGH and his guardian made a complaint of racial discrimination against the Police claiming that the acts of arresting and detaining the boy of Indian ethnicity constitute racial discrimination . The court completed hearing the case in 2016 and ruled against Mr SINGH and his guardian . What is the key reason for this result?
便是警方進行的拘捕和調查不屬於現時《種族歧視條例》第3及27條中所指的"服務"。
The reason is that the arrest and inquiries made by the Police are not considered as services referred to in sections 3 and 27 of RDO
這個案例凸顯《種族歧視條例》的現有保障並不足夠，需要進一步加強。
This case highlights that the protection under the existing RDO is inadequate and it needs to be further enhanced
平機會亦指出，以實際運作而言，上述活動不被視為服務，也就是說，關於確保政府在執行職能和行使權力時不會歧視，是有明顯的缺口。
EOC also pointed out that in actual operation the above mentioned acts would not be considered as services . In order words there is an obvious gap in the law in ensuring that the Government will not discriminate against anyone in the performance of its functions or the exercise of its powers
《種族歧視條例》和其餘3項反歧視條例的條文並不一致，其餘的條例涵蓋範圍包括政府的功能和權力，但《條例草案》只針對種族的騷擾，對於政府人員在執行職能和行使權力時的歧視行為則完全忽視。
The provisions in RDO and those in the other anti - discrimination ordinances are inconsistent; the scope of protection against discrimination in the other ordinances covers acts of the Government committed in the performance of its functions or the exercise of its powers . The Bill however only focuses on dealing with racial harassment but totally neglects discriminatory acts committed by government personnel in the performance of its functions or the exercise of its powers
修訂《種族歧視條例》以涵蓋政府的功能和權力，反對聲音明顯來自政府自己。
Voices opposing amendment to RDO to cover acts of the Government in the performance of its functions or the exercise of its powers have obviously come from the Government itself
因此，我要指出，指責政府存心維護歧視和不平等社會的說法是有其根據的。
Thus I must point out that the argument that the Government intends to condone discrimination and inequality in society is substantiated
保障人權、促進社會平等當然不單是政府的責任，而是每一名市民應盡的義務，這句說話真是老生常談，但我必須指出，歧視的產生，以及人權的剝奪均源自權力不平衡。
Protection of human rights and promotion of equality in society are certainly not the responsibilities of the Government alone but of all members of the public too . This remark is really a cliché but I must point out that discrimination and deprivation of human rights are generated by the imbalance of power
因此，社會才需要有政策、措施和法例，以促進權力的平等、促進權力的平衡，制衡濫用權力，以達致人人平等，這才是反歧視條例的初衷。
Thus there is a need for policies measures and laws to be implemented in society to promote equality of power balance of power and control of abuse of power so as to achieve equality for all . That is the original intention of the anti - discrimination ordinances
但很可惜，現時政府剝奪人權、剝奪所有人的權利，明顯地違反國際法。
Very unfortunately the current Government has deprived human rights and the rights of everyone in its blatant contravention of international laws
如果政府有覺悟，一早已經停手，問題是一個極權的政府，又怎會認為人人平等？
If the Government was aware of its wrongdoings it should stop doing wrong . But will an authoritarian government consider that everyone is equal?
又怎會認同權力要平衡？
Will it agree that there should be balance of power?
所以，政府今天所說的，根本是自打嘴巴，政府正是維護不平等、權力傾斜的最關鍵結構。
Thus the Government is really making self - contradictory remarks today . It is actually the key structure for condoning inequality and unbalanced power
代理主席，在我支持《條例草案》的同時，必須對政府作出嚴厲的批評。

代理主席，上周和剛才有多位議員就毛孟靜議員和林卓廷議員提出的議案進行辯論，綜合來說主要有3個重點：一沙中線土瓜灣站工程出現沉降事件是否涉及監管不力；二政府是否有蓄意隱瞞沉降問題；及三有關紅磡站月台層板及連續牆不合規格及更改圖則事件。
Deputy President a number of Members debated the motions moved by Mr LAM Cheuk - ting and Ms Claudia MO last week and just now . In general there are three main issues 1 whether the incident of land subsidence of buildings near the construction site of To Kwa Wan station of the Shatin to Central Link SCL involved ineffective monitoring; 2 whether the Government had deliberately concealed the land subsidence problem; and 3 the substandard works and alterations to the construction drawings of the platform slabs and diaphragm walls of the Hung Hom Station Extension
我現在綜合作一個簡單扼要的回應。
I am going to give a concise consolidated response in respect of these issues
就沙中線工程引致附近設施的沉降，相信大家都理解，大型挖掘工程引致工地附近的樓宇、橋樑、地下公用設施及道路沉降是無可避免的正常現象。
I believe that Members do understand that as far as the subsidence of buildings near the SCL is concerned it is inevitable and perfectly normal that large - scale excavation works would cause subsidence of the buildings bridges underground utilities and roads in the vicinity of the work sites
香港鐵路有限公司以科學方法估算受影響的構築物及設施的潛在沉降，建立了一個三級啟動監察機制，訂下三級指標以監察沉降的情況。
The MTR Corporations Limited MTRCL took a scientific approach to estimate the potential subsidence of the affected structures and facilities and established a monitoring system with a three - tier activation mechanism to monitor the subsidence based on three pre - set trigger levels
最初設定的指標通常會設於較保守的水平，以便逐步及持續地進行監測工作及採取預定的緩解措施。
Initially the trigger levels are normally set at more conservative levels so that progressive and continuous monitoring works can be done and the pre - determined mitigation measures can be adopted
三級啟動監察機制的總體目的，是要確保受工程影響的構築物及設施的結構安全，亦要確保公眾安全。
The overall objective of the three - tier activation mechanism is to ensure structural safety of the structures and facilities affected by the relevant works as well as safeguard public safety
事實上，三級啟動監察機制的最高沉降指標並非安全的分水嶺，即使沉降超出最高指標或超出再設定的最高指標，並不代表構築物及設施的結構有安全問題。
In fact the highest pre - set trigger level under the three - tier activation mechanism is definitely not a watershed . Even if the settlement of some structures exceeds the highest pre - set trigger level due to the railway works nearby it does not mean that structural safety problems will emerge
最重要的是，港鐵公司對受工程影響的構築物和設施進行頻密而持續的沉降監察，並在諮詢有關部門後，進行緩解措施，以確保結構安全。
It is important that the MTRCL shall monitor the subsidence of the relevant structures and facilities in a frequent and continuous manner during its implementation works . Upon consulting relevant departments the MTRCL would carry out mitigation measures to ensure the structural safety of the facilities
政府要求港鐵公司整合樓宇及各種設施的沉降數據，定期向屋宇署及路政署匯報，並透過分析數據以了解工程對附近環境的影響後，採取適切的行動，將沉降維持在可控制及安全的範圍內。
The Government required the MTRCL to consolidate the subsidence data of the buildings and facilities affected for reporting to the Buildings Department BD and the Highways Department the HyD on a regular basis and to take appropriate actions to bring the impacts of subsidence to levels within a controllable and safe range upon conducting analyses on the subsidence data to understand the impacts of the construction works to the surrounding environment
過去港鐵公司在資料發放方面的確有改善空間，為釋除公眾疑慮，港鐵公司已於本年8月30日發放沙中線沿線最近期的沉降監測數據。
To allay public concerns the MTRCL had promulgated the most recent subsidence monitoring data along the SCL on 30 August this year
根據港鐵公司的評估，所有沉降讀數達到預設最高指標的樓宇，其傾斜率均低於屋宇署所指定的最高指標，詳情載錄於屋宇署所發出的《認可人士、註冊結構工程師及註冊岩土工程師作業備考》之內。
According to the MTRCLs assessment for buildings with subsidence record reaching the highest level the level of tilting is less than that specified by the BD . Relevant details are set out in the Practice Notes for Authorized Persons Registered Structural Engineers and Registered Geotechnical Engineer issued by the BD
路政署及屋宇署聯同港鐵公司檢視現行安排，並採納運輸及房屋局專家顧問團的意見，為沙中線工程制訂通報機制。
The HyD BD and the MTRCL have jointly reviewed the existing arrangements and followed the advice from the SCL Expert Adviser Team EAT engaged by the Transport and Housing Bureau to set up an announcement mechanism for the SCL works
政府於今年9月28日公布沙中線鐵路工程對周邊構築物及公用設施影響的監察及通報機制，闡述在通報機制下，當沉降幅度達到預設停工指標時，港鐵公司需要暫停相關工程、有關部門於隨後48小時內會完成視察受影響的樓宇和公用設施及其後發出新聞公報，開誠布公。
The Government promulgated the monitoring and announcement mechanism for impact of SCL works on nearby structures and public facilities on 28 September this year elaborating that the MTRCL had to temporarily suspend the part of work when the extent of subsidence reached the pre - set trigger levels for suspension of works . Meanwhile the departments concerned would complete examining the affected buildings and public facilities within the subsequent 48 hours and issue a press release to make public the findings without any concealment
港鐵公司就更新預設停工指標及復工的安排，必須諮詢有關部門，以確保公眾安全。
To ensure public safety the MTRCL must consult the relevant departments on updating the pre - set trigger levels and arrangements for resumption of works
港鐵公司回應社會、議會及受影響居民的關注，正着手籌備一個土瓜灣社區關懷計劃，撇除法律責任，用務實的方法在財政上協助土瓜灣站附近受影響的業主維修住宅單位內受影響的牆壁。
In response to the concerns of society this Council as well as the affected residents the MTRCL is setting aside the issue of legal liabilities putting together a community care programme for To Kwa Wan in a pragmatic attempt to provide financial assistance to the owners of units in the residential buildings near the site of To Kwa Wan station so that they can repair the walls of their units affected by relevant works
港鐵公司會盡量簡化手續，並盡快推行。
The MTRCL will streamline the procedure as far as possible and expedite the launching of the programme
調查委員會的聆訊自10月22日起，正進行得如火如荼。
Commencing on 22 October the COIs substantive hearing has been in full swing at the moment
除調查委員會外，警方亦已展開獨立的調查工作，而屋宇署亦已就事件啟動《建築物條例》涵蓋範圍的調查，以確定當中是否有違法的情況。
Apart from the COI the Police has also embarked on independent investigations while the BD has already initiated inquiry into areas covered under the Buildings Ordinance in respect of the incident to ascertain if any irregularities are present
運輸及房屋局及專家顧問團要求港鐵公司制訂一套全面及整體的策略，以確認紅磡站擴建工程月台層板等建築結構的狀況，有關策略可以包括以下4項：一檢視及核實所有建造紀錄；二鑿開部分月台層板與連續牆的接駁處進行檢查；三進行非破壞性測試；及四進行荷載測試。
The Transport and Housing Bureau and the EAT required the MTRCL to formulate a holistic overall strategy to ascertain the condition of the architectural structure of the platform slabs of Hung Hom Station Extension works which may include the following four items 1 to review and verify all works records; 2 to carry out physical investigation for which opening up and inspection of some of the connections between the platform slabs and the diaphragm walls are required; 3 to conduct non - destructive tests; and 4 to implement a load test
政府要求港鐵公司在10月底提交建議，全面涵蓋紅磡站擴建工程的整個建築結構的實際建造細節，以科學論證讓真相大白於天下，而不在議會內作無謂爭拗。
The MTRCL is required to submit a proposal at the end of October covering in full the actual construction details of the entire architectural structure of the Hung Hom Station Extension . This is meant for revealing the truth by means of scientific argumentation instead of engaging in meaningless argument at the Council
港鐵公司應要求，將在11月中提交有關報告。
The MTRCL will submit the report concerned in mid - November as requested
代理主席，大型挖掘工程引致附近設施沉降是無可避免的正常現象，就沙中線工程引致附近設施沉降的情況，我早前已將事實清楚交代。
Deputy President it is inevitable and perfectly normal that large - scale excavation works would cause subsidence of the facilities near the works site . I have already given a clear account of the situation of the subsidence of nearby facilities caused by the construction works of the SCL
上述的沉降監察、跟進行動、更新預設指標、復工安排，以至公布機制，均是回應市民大眾和議會的關注，確保樓宇及公共設施的結構安全，亦確保公眾安全。
The aforesaid monitoring of subsidence follow - up actions updated pre - set trigger levels arrangements for resumption of works and the announcement mechanism are all implemented in answer to the concerns of the general public and this Council as well with a view to ensuring structural safety of buildings and public facilities and public safety
至於紅磡站擴建部分月台工程出現的問題，目前已有調查委員會進行調查，再加上執法機構的跟進工作，相信事實將會水落石出。
Regarding the problems associated with some of the works of the Hung Hom Station Extension they are now under investigation by the COI . Moreover the law - enforcement agencies are taking follow - up actions . I trust that the truth will come into light in the end
港鐵公司亦應政府要求，務求制訂一套全面及整體的核實行動，以確認紅磡站擴建工程月台層板等建築結構的狀況，最終亦會鑿開部分月台層板與連續牆進行檢查。
In addition the MTRCL will endeavor to draw up a holistic overall action plan for conducting verification as requested in order to ascertain the condition of the platform slab of the Hung Hom Station Extension . Eventually some of the connections between the platform slabs and the diaphragm walls will be opened up for inspection
因此，立法會無須引用《立法會條例》進行調查。
Hence it is unnecessary for the Legislative Council to invoke the Legislative Council Ordinance to conduct its own inquiry
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，呼籲議員反對議案。
Deputy President with these remarks I urge Members to oppose the motions
主席，我動議通過講稿附錄我的第一項修訂議案。
President I move that my first amending motion as set out in the Appendix to the Script be passed
本人謹以小組委員會主席身份動議議案，將該17項附屬法例的修訂期限延展至2018年12月12日的立法會會議，以便小組委員會有充足時間向內務委員會報告審議工作。
In my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee I move that the period for amending the 17 items of subsidiary legislation be extended to the Legislative Council meeting of 12 December 2018 so as to allow sufficient time for the Subcommittee to report its deliberations to the House Committee
