社署的資料顯示，截至2017年12月，寄養家庭的名額為867個，而需要接受寄養服務的青少年及兒童共有881名，所以一些需要寄養服務的兒童或青少年可能無法配對寄養家庭。
For some others because of the Comprehensive Social Security Allowance they may not be abandoned but their parents cannot truly take care of them . Data of SWD show that as at December 2017 there were 867 places of foster care homes and 881 teenagers and children in need of foster care services . Therefore some children or teenagers in need of foster care services may not be placed in a foster care home
在2014年，寄養名額有944名，較現時為多。
In 2014 there were 944 places of foster care homes which were more than today
過去數年，政府是否沒有提高相關資源呢？
Over the past few years has the Government not increased the relevant resources?
並不是，政府提高了各項寄養服務的津貼，並新增照顧3歲以下幼兒的額外獎金，以鼓勵家庭照顧年幼兒童。
No the Government has raised the allowance for various foster care services and introduced an additional bonus for caring children under three years of age so as to encourage foster care homes to take care of young children
但是，為何數字不增反降，寄養家庭的名額反而減少呢？
However why has the number dropped but not risen and there are fewer places of foster care homes instead?
不知道局方有否研究箇中原因，究竟是與金錢有關，還是與社會氣氛、相關家庭或其他原因有關呢？
I wonder if the Bureau has studied the causes . Is it related to money the social atmosphere the families concerned or other reasons?
希望局方能夠給大家一個答案。
I hope the Bureau can give us answers
關注兒童福利及權利的團體極力倡議政府設立一個兒童事務委員會，專注兒童權利。
Organizations concerned about children welfare and rights strongly advocate that the Government establishes a Commission on Children dedicated to childrens rights
過往政府以已設有家庭事務委員會為由而不設立。
In the past the Government refused to do so on the grounds that there was already the Family Commission
但是，很明顯，兒童及青少年的問題始終未解決。
However evidently problems of children and teenagers remained unsolved
政府終於在2017年的施政報告中宣布，今年年中成立兒童事務委員會，以回應社會的訴求。
Finally the Government announced in the Policy Address 2017 that the Commission on Children would be established this year to answer calls in society
但是，有關團體卻表示失望，這個委員會的主席是政務司司長張建宗，能否受到有效監察已經成疑；更何況我們本來希望這個委員會能夠根據國際標準成立，有如平等機會委員會般具法定地位，獨立於政府，也有調查權，有權限獲取資料，並可傳召證人作證，找出事實真相等。
However some groups have expressed disappointment that the Chairperson of the Commission is Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew CHEUNG casting doubts about effective monitoring on the Commission . Moreover we initially hoped that the Commission would be established according to international standards so that similar to the Equal Opportunities Commission it has a statutory status and is independent of the Government while also being vested investigative powers the authority to access information and the ability to summon witnesses to testify so as to find out the truth etc
我們認為這樣才能夠最有效保護兒童。
We consider that it will afford the most effective protection to children
主席，我不會因為兒童事務委員會可能成效不彰而反對它。
President I will not oppose the Commission on Children because of its possible ineffectiveness
我們身為立法會議員，除了監察委員會的運作外，亦應回應民間的訴求，互相配合。
As Members of the Legislative Council apart from monitoring the functioning of committees we ought to address aspirations of the community so that we can complement each other
張超雄議員就他在社福界的專業知識提出有關兒童權利的 報告，希望政府能夠真正聽到相關意見，再與民間社會配合，這樣才能夠真正幫助兒童。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG capitalizing on his professional knowledge of the social welfare sector has presented the report on childrens rights . I hope the Government can truly listen to relevant views and make joint efforts with the community . Only in this way can help be genuinely rendered to children
我的修正案保留了以下重點內容：包括加強推廣可再生能源、固體廢物回收科技；在智慧出行方面，更加要推動電動車主流化、推廣單車友善措施，以及落實實時共乘，即如Uber這類運輸系統的合法化。
My amendment retains the following key points including strengthening the promotion of renewable energy and recycling technology for solid wastes; in respect of smart mobility promoting the mainstreaming of electric vehicles pressing ahead with bicycle - friendly measures and implementing real - time car - sharing ie . effecting the legalization of such transport systems as Uber
懇請議員同事支持我的議案，多謝。
I implore Honourable colleagues to support my motion . Thank you
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：盧偉國議員動議的議案，經張華峰議員、謝偉銓議員、楊岳橋議員、葛珮帆議員及莫乃光議員修正後，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion move by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok as amended by Mr Christopher CHEUNG Mr Tony TSE Mr Alvin YEUNG Dr Elizabeth QUAT and Mr Charles Peter MOK be passed
我動議印載於議程內題為"加快推動智慧城市發展"的議案。
I move the motion entitled Expediting the promotion of smart city development as printed on the Agenda
主席，特區政府早於2014年提出以"智慧香港，智優生活"為主題的資訊科技策略，但推行進度十分緩慢。
President the SAR Government proposed as early as in 2014 an information technology strategy with the theme Smarter Hong Kong Smarter Living but the implementation progress was very slow
對於推動香港發展智能城市，我一直關注。
I have long been concerned about the promotion of smart city development in Hong Kong
在2017年3月，我已經向秘書處申請辯論時段，原本的議題是"盡快制訂全面的智能城市發展政策和策略"，但由於本會議程"大塞車"，在輪候超過1年，申請失利13次後，才獲得編配時段在今天處理，其間我通過不同渠道，促請當局關注這個課題。
In March 2017 I already applied to the Secretariat for a debate slot and the original subject was Expeditiously formulating comprehensive policies and strategies on the development of a smart city . But given the serious congestion of Agenda items in the Council I can only secure a slot for it to be dealt with today after more than a year of waiting and 13 unsuccessful attempts during which I urged the authorities to show concern for this issue through various channels
在向行政長官林鄭月娥女士提交對2017-2018年度施政報告的建議中，我已經要求當局因應《香港智慧城市藍圖顧問研究報告》的各項建議，盡快提出具體智能城市發展藍圖，就交通、醫療、環保及長者服務等方面作仔細規劃。
In the recommendations for the 2017 - 2018 Policy Address submitted to the Chief Executive Mrs Carrie LAM I already requested the authorities to having regard to the various recommendations in the Report of Consultancy Study on Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong expeditiously put forward a specific blueprint for the development of a smart city and make proper planning for such aspects as transport health care environmental protection and elderly services
我樂見當局於2017年12月公布了《香港智慧城市藍圖》，勾劃未來5年在智慧出行、智慧生活、智慧環境、智慧市民、智慧政府及智慧經濟6個範疇將要推行的政策及措施。
I welcome the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong released by the authorities in December 2017 outlining the policies and measures to be launched in the next five years covering six areas namely Smart Mobility Smart Living Smart Environment Smart People Smart Government and Smart Economy
隨後在今年1月10日，我再向當局提出相關的口頭質詢。
Subsequently on 10 January this year I further raised an associated oral question to the authorities
此外，在財務委員會 審核政府財政預算案的過程中，我透過書面質詢，再度請當局解釋有否就相關主要政策措施的輕重緩急，訂立落實的次序及時間表，並訂立相應的開支預算總額。
Moreover during the examination of the Budget by the Finance Committee I again sought an explanation from the authorities as to whether they had determined the priority of and timetable for implementing the relevant major policies and measures and set out the total estimated expenditure accordingly
我和工商專業界的朋友均認為，當局公布《藍圖》，只是朝着正確的方向邁出第一步，關鍵是如何妥善落實。
Members from the industrial commercial and professional sectors and I hold that the Blueprint published by the authorities is just the first step on the right track and the key lies in how to ensure proper implementation
我動議此項議案的主旨，是要進一步促請政府積極投放資源，完善各項政策及配套措施，加快推動智慧城市建設，以促進香港的可持續發展，並為市民提供優質生活。
The main purpose of this motion moved by me is to further urge the Government to proactively allocate resources to perfect various policies and ancillary measures and expedite the promotion of smart city development with a view to fostering the sustainable development of Hong Kong and facilitating the people in leading a quality life
本議案獲得6位不同黨派議員同事動議修正案，提出不少寶貴的意見及建議，顯示社會各界不單認同此課題對於香港未來發展的重要性，而且也期望特區政府在這方面更務實進取。
Six Honourable colleagues from different political parties and groupings have proposed amendments to this motion putting forward a lot of valuable views and recommendations which shows that various sectors in the community not only recognize the importance of this subject to the future development of Hong Kong but also expect the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR to be more pragmatic and proactive in this regard
主席，智慧城市已普遍被視為未來城市發展的大趨勢，即以人工智能為基礎，注重應用大數據、物聯網、智慧建築等綠色與智慧的科技成果，全面提升城市管理的成效及改善市民生活質素，涉及的範疇非常廣泛。
President building a smart city is generally regarded as the major trend in future city development that is focusing on the application of such achievements of green and smart technologies as big data Internet of Things IoT and intelligent architecture on the basis of artificial intelligence to enhance the overall effectiveness of city management and improve peoples quality of living which covers a wide spectrum of areas
我謹就原議案的主要內容提出一些必須關注的重點，供有關方面參考。
I would like to highlight some salient points that require attention concerning the major issues raised in the original motion for reference by the parties concerned
首先，政府應該致力促進創新科技的研發和應用，提升香港的科技基建，因為智慧城市的建設與創新科技發展息息相關。
First the Government should endeavour to facilitate the research and development RD and application of innovation and technology and upgrade the technological infrastructure of Hong Kong because the building of a smart city is closely related to the development of innovation and technology
平心而論，香港的創科生態系統近年明顯有所改善，財政司司長陳茂波在今年的預算案宣布額外預留500億元發展創新科技，這堪稱"大手筆"。
To give the matter its fair deal a marked improvement has been noted in the ecosystem of innovation and technology in Hong Kong in recent years . Financial Secretary Paul CHAN announced in this years Budget that an additional 50 billion will be set aside for the development of innovation and technology which may be applauded as a generous gesture
同時，為了鼓勵私人企業投資研發，合資格企業的首200萬港元研發開支可獲得3倍扣稅，餘額亦可獲兩倍扣稅，回應了我和工商科技業界多年來提出的訴求。
Meanwhile to encourage private enterprises to invest in RD eligible enterprises will enjoy a 300 % tax deduction for the first HK2 million of RD expenditure and a 200 % deduction for the remainder which has addressed the requests made by me and the industrial commercial and technology sectors over the years
這些措施反映了在全球銳意發展創新科技的大環境下，政府決心打破過往香港創新科技發展裹足不前的局面。
Such initiatives reflect the Governments resolve to break away from the previous stagnation of the development of innovation and technology in Hong Kong given the general climate of pursuing such development around the world
不過，有關政策落實需時，未能夠很快看到成績。
But such policies take time to materialize and there is no quick fix in sight
放眼全球，不少國家及地區均積極推動科技發展。
In the international scene a number of countries and regions are proactively promoting technological development
面對競爭，香港並非沒有隱憂。
In the face of competition Hong Kong is not without hidden risks
瑞士洛桑國際管理發展學院最近發布的"2018年數碼競爭力排名報告"顯示，香港數碼競爭力排名由去年的全球第七位下跌至第十一位。
As shown by the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2018 recently published by the International Institute for Management Development IMD Hong Kongs global ranking in digital competitiveness fell from 7 last year to 11
報告列出香港多個弱項，包括教育開支、科研投入、通訊科技研發及創新企業發展，反映香港在科技及未來準備的程度上表現較為失色。
The Yearbook has specified a number of weaknesses of Hong Kong including expenditure on education expenditure on RD RD of telecommunications and development of innovative firms reflecting that the performance of Hong Kong in technology and future readiness pales in comparison with that in other areas
相比區內一些城市，本港在移動電子支付及智慧城市等方面起步較遲，影響了競爭力。
Compared with some cities in the region Hong Kong has been a late starter in such areas as mobile electronic payments and smart city development thereby affecting its competitiveness
儘管創新及科技局已經在今年3月向本會的資訊科技及廣播事務委員會介紹了3項本港智慧城市重要基礎建設的建議，並計劃稍後向財務委員會尋求撥款，但相關的計劃仍有優化空間，其中一項是數碼個人身份證，讓市民能夠以單一數碼身份及認證，便捷地使用政府及商業的網上服務。
While the Innovation and Technology Bureau already briefed the Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting of this Council on the three key infrastructural projects for smart city development in Hong Kong this March and plans to seek funding approval from the Finance Committee later on such projects still have room for enhancement . One of them is an electronic identity eID which allows convenient access to online government and commercial services by members of the public with a single digital identity and authentication
我曾經指出，隨着粵港澳大灣區城市之間的交流互動日趨頻繁，香港開發的eID及電子支付系統均應該預先考慮與大灣區內各相關系統的互聯互通，以促進區內人流、物流、訊息流、資金流及服務流的暢通流動。
I have pointed out that with the increasingly frequent exchanges among cities in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area the eID and electronic payment systems developed by Hong Kong should take into account mutual access to the relevant systems in the Bay Area beforehand with a view to promoting the flow of people goods information capital and services in the area
另一項是多功能智慧燈柱試驗計劃。
Another one is a pilot Multi - functional Smart Lampposts scheme
我認為除了收集各類實時數據，以加強交通管理外，亦應該具備更多節能功能。
In my view apart from collecting various real - time data to enhance traffic management they should carry more energy saving features
至於構建新一代政府雲和大數據分析平台，亦必須處理好各部門之間的數據互通。
As to the implementation of the Next Generation Government Cloud and a Big Data Analytics Platform proper data interoperability among departments must also be ensured
然而，上述的基建能否順利落實，香港能否順利變身智慧城市，還有一項重要的關鍵，就是加快推動5G的發展。
Nevertheless one more important key to the smooth implementation of the aforesaid infrastructural projects and successful transformation of Hong Kong into a smart city is expediting the promotion of 5G development
5G是第五代移動通訊技術。
5G means the fifth generation mobile communications technology
現時全球爭相研發5G制式，因為這種高速度及高容量的電訊技術已經被視為智慧城市的催化劑。
The world is now engaged in a race for RD of 5G standard given that such a high - speed and high - capacity telecommunications technology has been seen as the catalyst for a smart city
據通訊事務管理局交代，預計本港最快明年4月可以指配5G頻譜，後年可以推出5G移動服務。
According to the Communications Authority 5G spectrum is expected to be assigned in Hong Kong by April next year the earliest followed by the launch of 5G mobile services in the year after next
我認為政府應該加強與業界溝通，在爭取讓市民盡快享用此項先進技術之餘，亦有助推動智慧城市其他環節的發展。
I think the Government should enhance its communication with the industries which will be conducive to promoting the development of other aspects of a smart city while seeking to enable early use of such an advanced technology by members of the public
由本港業界部分有心人組成的香港智慧城市聯盟，促請特區政府急起直追，加大力度推動創新科技，包括投放更多資源及鼓勵企業投資科研，將香港發展為國際創新科技中心。
The Smart City Consortium of Hong Kong formed by some enthusiastic members of the local industries urge the SAR Government to catch up and step up its efforts to promote innovation and technology including allocating more resources and encouraging enterprises to invest in RD turning Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology hub
我謹此申報，我是香港智慧城市聯盟的創會成員，不過，並沒有金錢利益。
I have to make a declaration here that I am a co - founder of the Smart City Consortium of Hong Kong but have no pecuniary interest in it
其次，當局應該積極推廣基建智慧化和綠色建築。
Next the authorities should proactively promote the intellectualization of infrastructure and green architecture
所謂綠色建築是指善用創新科技在建築物的生命周期中，例如選址、設計、建設、營運及維護等階段，設法達致環境友善和資源有效運用的目的。
The so - called green architecture is about the optimal use of innovation and technology in the service life of a building at such stages as site selection design construction operation and maintenance seeking to achieve the purposes of environmentally - friendliness and effective use of resources
綠色智慧化基建，即利用科技及數據，令建築達致環境友善和能夠有效運用資源的目的。
The intellectualization of green infrastructure means that such buildings may achieve the purpose of environmentally - friendliness and effective use of resources with the use of technology and data
所以，我曾經不厭其煩地向當局建議，除了繼續優化以九龍東作為智慧城市試點的計劃外，日後在落實新發展區計劃時，更應該預先規劃各種通訊、管網、智能家居及綠色建築等軟硬基建設施，並運用創新科技和大數據，就交通、醫療、環保和長者服務等作妥善規劃，致力打造綠色低碳智慧社區。
Hence I have made untiring efforts to recommend that apart from further enhancing the scheme to make Kowloon East a pilot smart city the authorities should during the future implementation of New Development Areas projects plan ahead for various infrastructural software and hardware such as communications pipe networks smart homes and green architecture and make proper planning for transport health care environmental protection elderly services etc . with the use of innovation and technology and big data striving to develop a low - carbon green and smart community
我樂於看到財政司司長在今年的預算案中宣布撥款10億元成立建造業創新及科技基金，支持業界在工程項目中採用本地或海外的創新建造技術，例如建築信息模擬技術和組裝合成建築法等。
I am glad to see the Financial Secretary announce in this years Budget the allocation of 1 billion to setting up a Construction Innovation and Technology Fund to support the industry in using local and overseas innovative construction technologies such as building information modelling BIM technology and Modular Integrated Construction
基金亦會支援學生和建造業從業員接受創新科技培訓，我認為這是既必要，也是及時之舉。
The Fund will also support students and practitioners of the construction industry in receiving training in innovative construction technologies which I consider a necessary and timely initiative
建築信息模擬技術可以讓設計師、建築師、工程師等不同專業人員利用同一數碼平台進行溝通和協調，在虛擬環境中提升整個工程生命周期的管理水平。
BIM technology enables communication and coordination among various professionals such as designers architects and engineers on the same digital platform enhancing the management of the whole project life cycle in a virtual environment
由籌備、設計到建造，以至營運及維修保養，更準確地估算各個階段的項目成本，有效地調控程序和管理風險，將香港的工程設計、項目管理、建造安全及環境保護等各方面提升至更高層次，亦有助香港發展成為具競爭力的智慧城市。
From planning and design to construction operation and maintenance project costs for various stages can be projected with greater accuracy thereby allowing effective process adjustment and risk management which will elevate Hong Kong to a higher level in the areas of project design project management construction safety and environmental protection and facilitate the development of Hong Kong into a competitive smart city
此外，由於智慧城市的發展十分注重大數據的應用，我曾多番向當局建議，應該致力促進公私營機構開放數據供開發應用，以建立大數據的共享平台。
Furthermore given the significance of the application of big data to smart city development I have repeatedly recommended that the authorities should strive to facilitate the opening of data by public and private organizations for development and application so as to set up a platform for sharing big data
當局應該盡快檢討《公開資料守則》，並且推出指引，讓特區政府各個部門因應不同資料的性質，作分級管理，以便加快開放政府資料和數據，以及引用機器可閱讀格式發放，令政府運作變得更透明，亦有利於自動化的數據分析，使大中小微企易於參與開發運用。
The authorities should expeditiously review the Code on Access to Information and issue guidelines to allow hierarchical management by various departments of the SAR Government according to the nature of different information for faster opening of government information and data and introduce machine - readable formats into data publication to enhance transparency of the operation of the Government which is conducive to automatic data analysis thereby facilitating the participation of micro small medium and large enterprises in RD and application
舉例而言，規劃署每兩三年更新一次的《全港人口及就業數據矩陣》，可供相關專業界別進行規劃設計及技術評估時參考。
For example the Territorial Population and Employment Data Matrix TPEDM updated by the Planning Department every two to three years may serve as reference for the relevant professional sectors in undertaking planning and design and conducting technical assessments
但是，現時所發放的，不是454個小分區的數據，而是經整合成為26個較大分區的數據，以致有關業界未能充分利用。
However it currently releases the aggregated data of 26 larger districts rather than the data of 454 small districts rendering the relevant sectors unable to make full use of such data
當局應該重新考慮相關界別的訴求，除了敏感資料外，公開按小分區劃分的矩陣數據，以便利應用程式開發者和相關業界使用。
The authorities should consider afresh the requests of the relevant sectors to publish except sensitive information the TPEDM data by small district so as to facilitate application developers and the relevant sectors in using the data
主席，如果當局能夠推廣和善用創新科技改善市民日常生活，可以立竿見影地吸引社會各界積極支持香港發展成為智慧城市。
President if the authorities can promote and make optimal use of innovation and technology for improvement of peoples daily living active support will immediately be drawn across the board for Hong Kong to develop into a smart city
例如在金融科技方面，盡快推出兼容性更強的移動支付系統，方便市民在日常交易中減少現金交易。
For example in respect of financial technology a mobile payment system with increased compatibility should expeditiously be introduced to reduce the use of cash in daily transactions for the convenience of people
在智慧交通方面，可以與運輸機構協作，提供多元化資訊平台，讓駕駛者和行人實時掌握有用的資訊，作出合理的出行選擇。
As regards smart transport it may provide a diversified information platform in collaboration with transport operators to allow drivers and pedestrians to access useful information real time for making reasonable travelling choices
在樂齡科技方面，可以推動開發家居康復系統，透過電腦應用程式及穿戴感應器，讓長者及行動不便的病人在家居接受康復訓練和基本遙距診斷等。
As for gerontechnology it may promote the development of a home - based rehabilitation system so that the elderly and patients with limited mobility may receive rehabilitation training service and basic telediagnosis etc . at home through computer applications and wearable sensors
主席，透過以上的扼要陳述，不難了解到要切實推動智慧城市發展，涉及不同的社會領域和政策層面，亦需要周詳完善的規劃。
President from the main points summarized just now it can readily be seen that the effective promotion of smart city development involves various community areas and policy levels and requires thorough and comprehensive planning
我期待當局能夠多管齊下，一方面在《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》的更新研究中，前瞻性地增加引入智慧及綠色元素；另一方面，盡快完善現有法規及企業支援配套措施，拆牆鬆綁，以促進科技研發應用，以及推動創科產業的發展。
I hope the authorities may adopt a multi - pronged approach adding more smart and green elements in the updating exercise of Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 with foresight on the one hand while on the other hand expeditiously perfecting existing regulations and ancillary measures for supporting enterprises and removing barriers thereby facilitating RD and application of technology and promoting the development of innovation and technology industries
當然，特區政府亦要加強跨部門協調，以及促進相關工商專業界別的溝通與合作，以先易後難的方式，逐步落實《藍圖》。
Certainly the SAR Government should also enhance inter - departmental coordination and promote the communication and cooperation among the relevant industrial commercial and professional sectors progressively implementing the Blueprint starting with the easier part
此外，當局應該制訂各個推行項目的關鍵績效指標，以進行定期評估，並適時更新和優化，以配合創新科技和智慧城市的最新發展趨勢。
In addition the authorities should draw up key performance indicators ie . KPI for various proposed projects for the purpose of regular assessment which will be updated and enhanced in a timely manner so as to tie in with the latest trend in innovation and technology and smart city development
主席，我發言支持"兒童權利小組委員會的報告"。
President I rise to speak in support of the Report of the Subcommittee on Childrens Rights
該小組委員會在報告首段開宗明義指出："每名兒童，不論其種族、性別、宗教、語言、能力或任何其他身份，都享有權利......這些權利包括免受歧視、虐待及疏忽照顧的權利；接受教育及醫療等服務的權利；充分發展個性、能力和才智的權利；在快樂、關愛和體諒的環境下成長的權利等"。
The Subcommittee stated at the outset in the first paragraph of the report Every child has rights whatever their ethnicity gender religion language abilities or any other status These rights include the right to be protected against discrimination abuse and gross neglect the right to have access to services such as education and health care the right to develop their personalities abilities and talents to the fullest potential the right to grow up in an environment of happiness love and understanding etc
兒童權利小組委員會曾召開多次會議，而每次會議也有不同持份者包括兒童親身出席，告訴我們其親身感受及所面對的問題。
The Subcommittee on Childrens Rights has held a number of meetings and each meeting was personally attended by different stakeholders including children who told us their personal feelings and the problems faced by them
主席，這些問題涵蓋的範圍非常廣闊，包括虐待兒童、保護兒童、在考試和家課壓力下的兒童、貧窮兒童、患病兒童、聽覺有問題的兒童、在感化院舍的兒童、難民兒童，以及對未來路向的一些建議。
President these issues cover a very wide scope including child abuse child protection children amid examination and schoolwork stress children under poverty ailing children children with hearing impairment children in correctional home refugee children and recommendations on the way forward
在這段時間內，我亦曾接觸多個與兒童服務有關的志願團體，聽取了很多意見。
During this period I have contacted various voluntary organizations engaged in services for children and listened to a lot of views
政府亦在這段時間宣布成立兒童事務委員會，可惜的是這個委員會仍然只屬諮詢組織。
Meanwhile the Government has announced the establishment of the Commission on Children . Regrettably the Commission remains an advisory body
我們民主建港協進聯盟期望和支持政府盡快把兒童事務委員會升格為法定組織，讓該委員會真正有權有責，為香港的兒童事務和權利把關。
We in the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong hope to and extend our support for the Government to expeditiously upgrade the Commission to a statutory organization vesting it with genuine powers and responsibilities to keep the gate for childrens affairs and rights in Hong Kong
主席，我們剛才談及的各個討論範疇其實均非常複雜，牽涉的範圍亦非常廣泛。
President the various areas of discussion mentioned by us just now are actually very complicated and the scope involved is extensive
