這次施政報告也提到，我們會提高幼兒中心服務的資助水平，以紓緩家長的經濟負擔，所以這部分增加的資助水平，亦會有助中收入或中產家庭。
This Policy Address also says that we will raise the subsidy level of child care centre services to alleviate the financial burden of parents . This increased level of subsidy can thus also help the middle - income or middle - class families . Besides the Policy Address also says that we will raise the incentive payments for home - based child carers in the hope of strengthening and increasing child carer service
其次，施政報告亦提到，我們會增加社區保姆所得到的服務獎勵金，希望可以加強和增加社區保姆的服務，而且我們亦會加強對社區保姆的訓練。
And we will also step up the training for home - based child carers
施政報告也提到，我們會研究有關幼稚園學生放學後課餘託管的問題。
As also mentioned in the Policy Address we will study the issue of after - school care services for kindergarten students
鄺俊宇議員關心明年2月開展的"在學前單位提供社工服務先導計劃"。
Mr KWONG Chun - yu is concerned about the Pilot Scheme on Social Work Service for Pre - primary Institutions which will be launched in February next year
這個計劃會分3個階段，為700多間的資助院舍提供有關的社工服務，我們的目標是希望一名社工最多服務兩間幼稚園。
This scheme will provide social work services in three phases for more than 700 subsidized institutions . For our goal we hope that one social worker will serve two kindergartens at the most
李國麟議員提到有關院舍服務的條例應進行檢討，事實上，我們已正在進行工作，希望明年年中左右完成有關的檢討。
Prof Joseph LEE advised that the laws related to residential care homes should be reviewed . In fact the work is now in progress and we hope that the review can be finished by the middle of next year
不過，我想更正一項資料，便是買位院舍的入住率不是偏低，2016-2017年度的數字是97%。
Nonetheless I would like to correct a piece of information . The occupancy rate of residential care homes under the Enhanced Bought Place Scheme is not on the low side . The rate was 97 % in 2016 - 2017
就其他有關安老院宿位不足的問題，我亦只能說，我們沒有魔術棒。
As regards the issue about inadequate places in the homes for the elderly I can only say that we do not have a magic wand
對於鄺俊宇議員提到，民主黨建議10年興建100間院舍，我們會努力嘗試，不過如果好像楊岳橋議員說，每年要有6,000多個宿位，並且連續做6年，我們是做不到的。
In regard to the Democratic Partys suggestion as mentioned by Mr KWONG Chun - yu of building 100 residential care homes in 10 years we will try our best . But in respect of Mr Alvin YEUNGs suggestion of providing over 6 000 places each year for six years in a row this is beyond our ability
代理主席，由於時間關係，我謹此陳辭，希望大家支持議案。
Deputy President due to time constraints I so summit and hope that Members can support the motion
主席，在教育方面，自由黨歡迎全面落實公營中、小學教師職位學位化，以解決歷史遺留的問題，這亦是自由黨多年來的建議。
President as far as education is concerned the Liberal Party welcomes the full implementation in one go of all - graduate teaching force policy in public sector primary and secondary schools so as to resolve the problem left over from history and this is also a suggestion put forward by the Liberal Party for many years
政府今次的回應是良好的一步，有助提升教學質素。
The Governments response this time is a good step which will help to enhance the quality of teaching
我們更認為長遠而言，應一併處理小學教師與中學教師的薪酬存在差距的問題，因為同工同酬才屬公道，這亦可鼓勵有能力及有質素的教師投身小學教育，改善小學的師資。
We are even of the view that in the long run the Government should also address the issue of pay difference between primary and secondary school teachers because it would only be fair to ensure equal pay for equal work . This can also encourage more competent and quality teachers to join the ranks of primary school teachers thereby upgrading the qualifications of primary school teachers
但是，整體而言，自由黨認為政府在教育方面仍然欠缺新思維。
However in general the Liberal Party opines that the Government still lacks new thinking on education
在自由黨向特首提出的眾多建議中，我們曾大膽提出由政府推動本港中、小學取消分數評級制度，改以A、B、C、D的等級作出評估，特別是應在小學先行。
Among the proposals put forward by the Liberal Party to the Chief Executive the bolder one is for the Government to push for the abolition of the point rating system in local primary and secondary schools and replace it with a grade rating system . In particular such a system should first be implemented in primary schools
無可否認，等級制仍有差別之分，但可減少細微分數差異的紛爭，相對有助減少學生的壓力，給予他們更多空間。
Undeniably there will still be difference in ratings under the grade rating system but it will minimize disputes arising from slight differences in scores which will relatively help to reduce the pressure faced by students and give them more room
我們期望藉此項有關評級制度的微調，嘗試為本地學習文化帶來轉變的一步，此舉旨在減輕家長攀比分數的惡習，營造求學不求分數的氛圍。
We hoped that with such minor adjustment in the rating system a step can be taken to change the learning culture of Hong Kong so as to discourage the bad practice among parents of comparing the scores of their children and cultivate the atmosphere where learning is not about achieving high scores
我們希望透過今次發言，再次公開呼籲當局認真考慮自由黨的建議。
With this speech we hope to openly appeal to the Government once again to give serious consideration to the Liberal Partys suggestion
如我們的建議獲得推行，當局可視乎成效決定下一步行動。
If our suggestion is adopted depending on its effectiveness the next course of action can be decided
主席，我們多年來亦提出為私立獨立幼稚園引入學券制，以協助中產家長，今年亦不例外。
President for many years we have also been urging for the introduction of an education voucher scheme for private independent kindergartens in a bid to offer assistance to parents from the middle class and there is no exception for this year
自由黨對上屆政府推出的免費優質幼稚園教育計劃有所保留，恐怕會變成"糖衣毒藥"，令學前教育質素不斷倒退，最終迫使一些家長另謀出路，有如今天的直資中、小學一樣，導致歷史重演，一錯再錯。
The Liberal Party has reservations about the Free Quality Kindergarten Education Scheme introduced by the Government of the last term fearing that the Scheme will become something of a sugar - coated poison pill resulting in a deterioration of the quality of pre - primary education which will eventually force some parents to find another way out something similar to the case of direct subsidy primary and secondary schools nowadays and a repeat of history and the same mistakes
近年不獲資助的私立獨立幼稚園已走向兩極化，部分逐漸被淘汰，其他則提高學費，向優質教育的方向發展，這無疑令中產家長的選擇減少，亦增加了他們的負擔。
Private independent kindergartens not funded by the Government have moved in two opposing directions in recent years with some of them being eliminated gradually while others raising their tuition fees and moving towards the direction of quality education . This will undoubtedly reduce the choices for middle - class parents and impose a heavier burden on them
我重申當局應盡快撥亂反正，為中產家長引入學前教育券，補助他們為年幼子女選讀私立獨立幼稚園的開支。
I wish to reiterate that the Government should restore the chaotic situation back to normal as soon as possible by introducing pre - primary education vouchers for middle - class parents to subsidize their small children to study in private independent kindergartens
學券制的優勝之處，是由家長決定資源分配，以發揮市場力量，亦為私立獨立幼稚園提供提升教育質素的誘因。
The advantage of an education voucher system is that the allocation of resources will be decided by parents thereby allowing market forces to play their role and giving incentives for private independent kindergartens to enhance the quality of education
主席，說到今次工商界較為關注的部分，當然是人力資源。
President the part of manpower resources this year is of great concern to the industrial and business sectors
同樣地，對香港的工商界而言，人力就是我們的最大資產。
Similarly manpower is the biggest asset for the industrial and business sectors of Hong Kong
最近的國泰事件更揭露香港根本沒有足夠的網絡安全系統專才，以應付企業服務的需要。
The recent incident involving Cathay Pacific has uncovered the shortage of network security talents in Hong Kong to cope with the demand for corporate services
可惜的是，今年的施政報告向僱員傾斜，需要工商界付出的東西很多，但對於重中之重的人手問題卻全無新意，只透過補充勞工計劃輸入勞工。
Unfortunately the Policy Address this year has tilted towards employees at the heavy expense of the industrial and business sectors . Apart from importation of workers under the Supplementary Labour Scheme SLS there is nothing new about how to address the manpower problem which is of utmost importance
我們須知道，很多行業和工種都不包括在補充勞工計劃之內，而且申請程序複雜，獲批人數有限，完全搔不着癢處。
We should bear in mind that many trades industries and job types are currently not covered by SLS . Moreover the complicated application procedures and limited number of imported workers approved under SLS render it completely ineffective
行政長官經常說勞工政策要大步向前，但也不應只向僱員傾斜，而應更加平衡。
The Chief Executive has always said that we should take a great step forward in labour policies but these policies should not be tilted towards employees and should be more balanced
當局必須果斷地解決香港勞工嚴重短缺的問題，好讓我們在沉重的負擔中透一口氣，最低限度也可紓緩新增勞工政策對我們造成的壓力。
The Government should act decisively to resolve the problem of acute labour shortage in Hong Kong so as to give the sector relief from the heavy burden or at least relieve the pressure of new labour policies on the sector
輸入勞工並非洪水猛獸，如能按本地實際需要，適量作出配合，對整體經濟甚至民生皆有幫助。
Importation of labour is not something of a scourge which if properly formulated taking into account of our actual needs will be beneficial to the overall economy and even to peoples livelihood
赤鱲角機場興建期間，亦因為工程需要而輸入大量建築工人，讓機場趕及在1998年7月啟用，對當時呆滯的經濟亦起了一定的刺激作用。
During the construction of Chek Lap Kok Airport a large number of construction workers were also imported to meet the construction needs as a result the projects concerned were completed in time for the commissioning of the new airport in July 1998 which also stimulated the then stagnant economy to a certain extent
與其不斷拖拉，我們應吸納上述的過往經驗，盡快認真評估各行業的人力需要，扣除可透過本地教育系統及職業培訓產生的人才數字，制訂具體而有針對性的輸入勞工計劃，大刀闊斧地輸入海外勞工。
Instead of dragging on incessantly we should learn from past experiences mentioned above seriously assess the manpower needs of different trades and industries as soon as possible and formulate a specific and targeted plan for importation of labour after taking into account of the number of talents to be available from local education and vocational training system so as to import foreign workers in a bold and decisive manner
除基層勞工外，我們亦應增加招攬專才來港措施的力度。
Apart from grass - roots workers we should also make greater efforts to attract expert talents to Hong Kong
細閱今年的施政報告，香港的願景很多，包括要成為國際創科中心、鞏固及提升國際金融、航運、貿易三大中心的地位，並且建設成為亞太區的國際法律及解決爭議服務中心等。
A perusal of this years Policy Address reveals many visions proposed for Hong Kong including developing Hong Kong into an international information and technology hub consolidating and enhancing Hong Kongs status as an international financial transport and trade centre establishing Hong Kong as a centre for international legal and dispute resolution services in the Asia - Pacific region and so on
如此看來，香港的年青人將有很多發展機會，問題是現階段若無足夠人手，又沒有實質政策和措施可作配合，一切均只是空談，所謂願景可能只屬夢境。
At first glance many development opportunities seem to be available for the young people of Hong Kong but all of these will be nothing more than empty talks if the current lack of manpower as well as concrete policies and measures persist . These so - called visions may be nothing more than a dream
部分香港人擔心外來人才會搶去本地人的"飯碗"，因而抗拒輸入專才，但他們應該明白，世界急速轉變，香港未必有適合人才配合最新發展。
Some Hong Kong people worry that the rice bowl of local people will be taken away by foreign workers and they therefore resist the admission of talents . However they should understand that the world is changing rapidly and Hong Kong may not have suitable talents to cope with the latest development
如香港再自我封閉，只會原地踏步，令我們失去製造協同效應的機會，亦失去強化自身優勢的關鍵時機。
If we continue to isolate ourselves Hong Kong will go nowhere and lose the crucial opportunity to both generate synergy effects and strengthen our own advantages
主席，商界也很關注民生問題，但我們的立場是不應走向民粹、福利主義，又或"做又三十六，唔做又三十六"的常態，而應發揮獅子山下的精神，為社會做好自力更生的環境，為市民營造更多上游機遇，繼而做好資源分配。
President the business sector also attaches great importance to livelihood issues but our position is that we should not move towards populism welfarism or the norm of getting the same pay no matter if one works hard or not . Instead we should create a favourable environment for pursuing self - reliance in line with the Lion Rock Spirit as well as more opportunities for upward mobility for the general public with the aim of doing a good job in resource allocation
可是，今年的施政報告卻失去重心，向僱員傾斜之餘，不少政策和措施皆進一步損害香港的營商環境，令商界相當失望。
However the Policy Address this year has failed to keep its balance by tilting towards employees with a further erosion of the business environment of Hong Kong by many of its proposals and measures a great disappointment to the business sector
中美貿易戰已經爆發，很多人已看到它對香港經濟造成的後遺症和實質損害，明年可能更加明顯。
With the eruption of a trade war between China and the United States many people have witnessed its aftermath and substantive damage to the economy of Hong Kong which could be more serious next year
然而，施政報告只是輕輕帶過，沒有詳細交代當局如何備戰，抵禦這次的大風浪。
Nevertheless the Policy Address only glossed over this issue without giving a detailed account of how the Government will be prepared for it to withstand the storm
對於很多中小型企業來說，當局建議的勞工措施，單獨看來可能並不要緊，但連串措施合併起來卻會為他們帶來極沉重的負擔。
For many small and medium enterprises SMEs the proposed labour measures may not be big deals individually but collectively they will be a heavy burden for SMEs
這其實也不要緊，因為由制訂最低工資開始，我從政府提供的數字發現當局總是計算錯誤，甚至可能是故意如此。
This does not really matter because ever since the implementation of the minimum wage I have noticed from the figures provided by the Government that it had often made wrong calculations or had deliberately done so
其實，除非僱主有坐牢的心理預備，否則一旦取消強積金對沖安排，便要按全體僱員數目立即撥備，為僱員遣散費及長期服務金儲備多一筆款項，因而絕對並非當局所指，只會帶來2.2%增幅這麼輕微的影響。
In fact unless employers are prepared to have themselves imprisoned once the offsetting arrangement under the MPF System is abolished they will have to make provisions for all their employees and set aside additional funds for severance payment and long service payment . Hence the impact will definitely not be a mere increase of 2.2 % as suggested by the Government
即使首3年有政府約五成補助，長遠來說，負擔會越來越重，營運資金只會不斷萎縮，經營越見艱難。
Despite government subsidy of about 50 % for employers in the first three years their burden will be increased in the long run and the shrinkage of working capital will make their operation more difficult
須知現時很多中小企及微型企業均在掙扎求存，流動資金較少，根本沒可能有多餘資金另作撥備。
We have to bear in mind that many SMEs and micro enterprises are now struggling hard to operate their businesses with little liquidity and it is simply impossible for them to have spare funds for this purpose
政府取消強積金對沖安排，其實是罔顧他們的死活。
The Government has proposed the abolition of the offsetting arrangement under the MPF System in disregard of the fate of these enterprises
員工是僱主的最大資產，但在取消強積金對沖安排後，可以想象僱員在工作10多年後，會寧願博取一筆遣散費或長期服務金，而跟僱主結帳離職。
Employees are employers greatest assets but with the abolition of the offsetting arrangement under the MPF System one can imagine that an employee employed by the same employer for more than 10 years will prefer to part with the employer so as to receive severance payment or long service payment
這種對業務有損的行為將成為商界的最大憂慮，長遠而言嚴重損害服務行業，比起現在迫我們掏出數千億元，傷害更為嚴重。
This course of action which is detrimental to business operations will be the biggest nightmare of the business sector . It will deal a serious blow to the service industry in the long run more damaging than forcing us to fork out hundreds of billions of dollars now
說到底，當局沒有信守當初設立強積金制度時與商界達成的協議條件，要求僱主另為僱員提供退休保障，變相是突然"搬龍門"，讓他們負擔雙重福利。
After all the Government has failed to honour the conditions in its agreement with the business for the establishment of the MPF Scheme and require employers to offer additional retirement protection for employees a sudden act of moving the goalposts in effect and employers have to bear the burden of offering double benefits
這令商界對政府失去信任，他日再要制定類似法例時，即使當局誓言不會損害商界利益，並承諾不會有變，商界也不會再相信。
This has resulted in a loss of trust among the business sector to the Government . When similar legislation is introduced in the future even if the Government pledges that the interests of the business sector will not be harmed and nothing will be changed the latter will no longer believe it
商界強調，強積金對沖安排並沒有沖走"打工仔女"的退休保障，供款仍然在他們的強積金戶口內。
The business sector must stress that the retirement protection for wage earners has in no way been swept away by the offsetting arrangement under the MPF System and the contributions are still in their MPF accounts
真正沖走他們退休金的是強積金計劃累計數百億元的行政費，以及那些不足65歲已誓言不再工作，預先取走強積金供款的僱員。
Their retirement benefits are actually swept away by MPF administrative fees which amount to tens of billions of dollars and early withdrawal of MPF by employees who are below 65 and declare that they will no longer work
當局如要確保市民年老時可享有退休保障，便應處理員工提早取走強積金供款的問題，又或向那些基金經理追討。
If the Government wishes to ensure that people will enjoy retirement protection when they get old it should take action to tackle the problem of early withdrawal of MPF by employees or try to recover the money from fund managers
主席，商界也想解決爭議，故此提出了"優化基金池方案"，由政府撥款成立基金以作滾存，用作提取遣散費和長期服務金之用。
President the business sector also wishes to end controversy by proposing the establishment of an optimized fund pool which will be accumulated with funds from the Government for making severance payment and long service payment
至於有意創業的人士或初創企業，則會因為營商門檻過高而卻步，又或轉往其他成本較低的地區發展。
People who want to start their own businesses or start - ups will also be discouraged by the high threshold or they will move to other places with lower costs for development
我奉勸當局要適可而止，不要再推行加重僱主經營壓力的政策，否則在環球經濟走下坡之際，只會造成惡性循環，令香港失去更多優勢和抗逆能力。
My advice to the Government is that it should avoid going too far by introducing more policies that will increase the pressure on employers otherwise a vicious cycle will be created at a time of global economic downturn and Hong Kong will lose more of its advantages and resilience
在醫療方面，我想略談醫療人手問題。
With regard to health care services I wish to say a few words on the issue of health care manpower
施政報告已承諾在未來3個學年增加資助學士學位醫療學額至1,930個，並相應增加醫療專業培訓容量。
The Policy Address has pledged that the number of health care - related publicly - funded first - degree intake places will be increased to 1 930 in the next three academic years and the capacity for relevant professional health care training will also be expanded
但是，隨着香港人口不斷老化，這仍未能應付我們的需求。
However with an ageing population in Hong Kong these are still not adequate to meet our demand
即使當局願意提早籌備第二個十年醫院發展計劃，面對當下香港公營醫療服務輪候時間過長，醫患之間張力過分繃緊的問題，當局須下定決心，找出解決燃眉之急的方法。
Although the Government is willing to advance the planning for the second 10 - year hospital development plan in the light of the problems with public health care services in Hong Kong such long waiting time and acute tension between medical professionals and patients the Government must determine to find solutions to these pressing problems
因此，自由黨多次提出，當局應該仿效新加坡輸入海外醫生，准許來自國外著名大學醫學院的人才來港執業，尤其是鼓勵在海外進修醫科的港人子女回流，不單容許他們免試執業，並讓他們在本港受訓，加入公立醫院工作，作為緩衝之計。
Against this background the Liberal Party has repeatedly suggested that we should follow the example of Singapore by admitting overseas doctors and allow medical talents from renowned overseas medical schools to come and practice in Hong Kong . In particular as a stop - gap measure we should encourage children of Hong Kong parents who have graduated from medical schools overseas to return to Hong Kong by allowing them to practice without having to take any examination moreover they should be allowed to work in public hospitals after receiving training in Hong Kong
就此，主席，我想申報我的女兒和女婿均是外國執業醫生。
In this connection President I would like to declare that my daughter and son - in - law are overseas medical practitioners
自由黨當然高興特首加強基層醫療及把中醫藥納入本港的醫療系統，但長遠來說，當局必須處理醫療服務方面公私營不均的問題。
The Liberal Party is of course pleased to note that the Chief Executive has proposed to strengthen primary health care services and incorporate Chinese medicine into the health care system in Hong Kong but in the long run the Government should address the imbalance between public and private health care services
自由黨建議加強公私營合作，推動私家醫院或醫療中心透過折扣優惠，為公立醫院癌症病人提供檢查、化驗及診症服務，並由政府資助部分費用，主動鼓勵較有經濟能力的病人分流到私營醫療系統。這不單讓有關病人可加快接受診斷及治療，也有助紓緩公營醫療系統的壓力。
The Liberal Party suggests that we should strengthen the cooperation between public and private sectors facilitate the provision of medical examinations laboratory and consultation services at discounted prices by private hospitals or medical centres for cancer patients in public hospitals with partial subsidy by the Government actively encourage the patients who are financially better able to seek medical services through private health care system for early and speedy diagnosis and treatment which will also help to relieve the pressure on public health care system
此外，自由黨同意醫院管理局應全面檢討藥物資助經濟審查機制，但我們亦想一提，當局必須同時加快新藥審批程序，才可有助把罕見病患者使用的昂貴藥物納入資助範圍。
Moreover the Liberal Party agrees that the Hospital Authority should comprehensively review its means test mechanism for subsidy for drug expenses but we would like to remind the Government that the drug registration process should also be expedited which will help bring some expensive drugs used by patients suffering from rare diseases within the scope of subsidy
最後，我想談談電子煙。
Finally I wish to talk about electronic cigarettes
特首急轉彎可能不應說是特首，是局長急轉彎要"一刀切"禁制電子煙及有關的煙草產品，這似乎已得到本會多數議員支持。
The Chief Executive has made a sharp turn―perhaps it is not the Chief Executive but the Secretary who has made this sharp turn―by proposing a ban on e - cigarettes and related smoking products across the board which seems to have obtained support from a majority of Members in this Council
在我看來，這是典型的多數票極權，剝奪了少數人的權利。
In my opinion this is a typical example of the dictatorship of the majority which has deprived the minority of their rights
我不禁要問，作為一個民主社會，是否需要走到這種地步？
I cannot help but ask should a democratic society really need to go this far?
很多東西都有禍害，宗教也可能造成禍害，是否也要禁絕？
Many things are hazardous even religious belief can be hazardous but shall they be banned completely?
記得早在10年前，英國的查理斯王子曾提出禁止連鎖快餐店麥當勞在英國經營，好讓兒童吃得健康一點，杜絕快餐店，結果引來社會的一番激辯。
I remember that 10 years ago Prince Charles of the United Kingdom suggested a ban on McDonalds the fast food chain in the United Kingdom so that children could eat healthier food . This suggestion of a total ban on fast food restaurants subsequently triggered a heated debate in the community
要站在道德高地是一件很容易的事情，可是，香港是全球最長壽的地方之一，如仍要作出如此嚴格的規管，管理市民的生活習慣，讓政府好像保母一般管束我們，這又是否切合香港社會的實況？
Standing on the moral high ground is always easy . Nevertheless Hong Kong is among the places with the longest life expectancy in the world is it suitable for the actual situation in Hong Kong if the Government regulates peoples way of living so strictly like a babysitter?
我是一名吸煙者，由多年前政府禁止在工作間吸煙開始，一直眼看本港的吸煙政策不斷收緊。
I am a smoker . Since the smoking ban in workplaces imposed by the Government many years ago I have witnessed a gradual tightening of the smoking policy in Hong Kong
但是，推行三隧分流方案後，由2020年開始的3年內，西隧的收費幾乎會凍結在70元的水平，只准作出輕微加幅。
However the implementation of the proposal for the re - distribution of traffic among the three road harbour crossings will result in a near - freeze on the tolls of WHC at the level of 70 over a three years period from 2020 allowing a slight increase only
在政府補貼下，市民只需支付50元，而190元跟70元之間，確實是有很大分別。
With subsidy from the Government users will need to pay 50 only and there is indeed a huge difference between 190 and 70
大家必須弄清楚，政府今次不是補貼西隧，而是補貼使用西隧的市民。
We have to make it clear that under the proposal what the Government is subsidizing is not WHC but users of the road harbour crossing
三隧分流方案正可迎合不同車主的需要，我希望大家不要隨便否決這個得來不易的方案，有些細節我們可以再作討論。
The proposal for re - distribution of traffic among the three road harbour crossings will cater to the needs of different car owners . I hope Members will not vote against such a hard - earned agreement lightly as some details are open to further discussions
我的同事易志明議員會就此作出詳細的說明，談談有何優化方案，甚至提出建議。
My fellow colleague Mr Frankie YICK will elaborate on this issue and may present to us some possible enhancement options and even make recommendations
我促請當局盡快與有關的持份者商討，繼而及早推行三隧分流方案。
I urge the Government to negotiate with the stakeholders concerned as soon as possible for early implementation of the proposal for the re - distribution of traffic among the three road harbour crossings
主席，對於施政報告有關土地政策的部分，自由黨表示歡迎。
President the Liberal Party welcomes the part of land policy in the Policy Address
當中有很多建議均與自由黨的大方向接近，例如公私營合作釋放農地的土地共享先導計劃、"明日大嶼"的規劃、落實填海計劃，以及建造面積達1,700公頃的人工島。
Many of the proposal are consistent with the general direction of the Liberal Party such as the introduction of the Land Sharing Pilot Scheme to release agricultural land with the cooperation of the public and private sectors the planning of Lantau Tomorrow the implementation of reclamation projects and the construction of artificial islands with a total area of about 1 700 hectares
此外，當局參考了自由黨提出的"先基建、後建樓"發展模式，提出推行"明日大嶼"計劃時會以基建先行，值得一讚。
Besides the Government should be commended for making reference to the development mode proposed by the Liberal Party of according priority to transport infrastructure before housing development and will give priority to infrastructure in the implementation of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision
