然而，租金只是經營成本之一，所以我剛才已在主體答覆中提出，政府亦推行了很多其他措施，在"派錢"之餘同時力求減輕商戶的經營困難和成本，以及推出措施協助整體社會的經濟復蘇，並與應對疫情的工作同步進行。
Yet rents only account for a part of the operating costs and I have therefore stated in the main reply just now that many other measures apart from handing out cash were rolled out by the Government with a view to alleviating the operating difficulties and costs for commercial tenants as far as possible . Measures will also be introduced to facilitate economic recovery in society as a whole and work in this respect will proceed in parallel with efforts made to tackle the epidemic
代理主席，我已經將這個問題轉交財政司司長及相關部門，以作了解。
Deputy President I have already referred the matter to the Financial Secretary and the departments concerned for examination
相信這不單關乎稅務問題，也涉及在眾多措施之中，哪一項最能切合現時的情況，相信相關政府部門會加以考慮。
I think it involves not only taxation issues but also the most appropriate measure we should adopt among many different initiatives to address the current situation and the relevant government departments will give the matter due consideration
田議員，你可在其他場合跟進有關事宜。
Mr TIEN you may follow up the related matters on other occasions
當然，我相信這始終是社會的共同責任。
Certainly I believe this is after all a shared responsibility of our society
此外，政府特別採納了工聯會郭偉强議員早前提出的修訂，讓僱主可以就額外4星期的有薪產假，向政府申請8萬元的津貼。
Besides the Government has particularly adopted the amendment proposed earlier by Mr KWOK Wai - keung of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions HKFTU to the effect that an employer can apply to the Government for an allowance of 80,000 in respect of the additional four weeks paid maternity leave
我覺得政府從善如流，做得相當好。
In my view the Government should be commended for taking on board this piece of good advice
至於一些超高薪金即月薪10萬元以上的女性僱員，我們覺得僱主最低限度在道義上也有責任承擔，而不是要政府"無上限"地補貼。
As regards those female employees earning super high salaries of more than 100,000 a month we think that their employers should at least take up their moral obligation instead of asking the Government to provide unlimited subsidies
如果一位"打工女王"的月薪過百萬元、年薪過千萬元，難道要政府替她補貼4星期可能差不多100萬元的補貼？
In the case of a female employee earning more than 1 million per month or more than 10 million per year does the Government need to reimburse nearly 1 million for her four weeks maternity leave pay?
這些是超級"打工女王"，政府不應該補貼這麼多，因為這未必是善用公帑。
For these super high - paid female employees the Government should not over - subsidize their employers as this may not be using public money prudently
我認為今次的修訂意義重大，因為涉及一項鼓勵生育的人口政策，是一項家庭友善的政策，更是工聯會、勞工界多年來爭取的成果。
In my view this amendment exercise has significant meaning because it concerns a population policy that encourages childbearing a family - friendly policy and even the fruits of the hard work of HKFTU and the labour sector which have been fighting for many years
延長有薪產假能夠防止產後抑鬱，如果婦女產後休息不足，特別容易患上產後抑鬱。
The extension of paid maternity leave can help prevent postpartum depression . If a woman does not have enough rest after giving birth it is especially easy for her to have postpartum depression
根據調查，大概有10%至15%的婦女出現產後抑鬱，而發生時間大概在產後的第十至十五個星期。
According to the result of a survey about 10 % to 15 % of women have suffered from postpartum depression which usually occurs at any time from the tenth to the fifteenth week after giving birth
如果延長產假至14周，婦女的身心在這段時間有更佳的調息，相信能夠更快恢復，亦可以重投工作。
When maternity leave can be extended to 14 weeks women can have better adjustment and rest both psychologically and physically during this period of time . As such they can recover more quickly and can return to work more readily
反對派就是這樣賊喊捉賊，梁耀忠議員還說自己是代表工人的權益。
The opposition camp is just like a thief crying thief . Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung even claims that he represents the rights and interests of labour
主席，他的組織街坊工友服務處不會派出代表參選下屆立法會，不知是否因為這個理由呢？
President his political group the Neighbourhood and Workers Service Centre will not send any representative to run for the Legislative Council election and I am not sure whether it is due to this reason
他長期做事口不對心，出賣工人利益，當然沒有人支持，就是這麼簡單。
All along he has not been acting sincerely betraying the interests of labour . It is due to this simple reason that no one supports him
勞工界多年來爭取延長產假，《僱傭條例》上次的修訂是在1995年，距今已經24、25年，當中經歷數代立法會議員，由陳婉嫻、王國興、鄺志堅、葉偉明、潘佩璆、鄧家彪等前輩，再加上本會很多關注勞工、婦女權益的朋友，在議會內外一起爭取權益。
The labour sector has been fighting for the extension of maternity leave for many years . The Employment Ordinance was last amended in 1995 which was 24 or 25 years ago . During this period of time Legislative Council Members of a few generations like our predecessors Ms CHAN Yuen - han Mr WONG Kwok - hing Mr KWONG Chi - kin Mr IP Wai - ming Dr PAN Pey - chyou and Mr TANG Ka - piu as well as many Members in this Council who are concerned with the rights and interests of labour and women have been fighting for their rights and interests inside and outside this Council
當然，我們要展望將來，其實勞工權益沒有最好、只有更好。
Of course we have to be forward - looking . In fact there are no perfect rights and interests of labour as they can always be improved
我們希望隨着社會發展，這只是一個里程碑，而不是終點。
We hope that with the development of society this only marks a milestone but not the destination
在婦女權益方面，特別是今時今日養兒育女真的很艱難，婦女面對着巨大的壓力，特別是還要上班的婦女，一人兼負兩個職務，同時兼顧工作和家庭確實不容易。
As regards the rights and interests of women it is especially difficult to raise children nowadays and women are facing tremendous pressure . This is particularly so for working women who are busy juggling jobs and families . It is not easy indeed
所以，第一，我們希望將來可以盡快落實全薪產假，產假並不是病假，不應只發放五分之四薪金，亦不應扣除兩成薪金，內地我們的祖國已推行這一方面的措施。
Therefore firstly we hope that full - pay maternity leave can be implemented as soon as possible . Maternity leave is not sick leave . The maternity leave pay per day should not be calculated at the rate of only four - fifths of the daily wages of an employee or having the wages deducted by 20 %
第二，我們應該進一步檢討和延長產假。
Secondly we should further review and extend maternity leave
這是非常重要的，我希望政府盡快就婦女產後的工作保障期作出積極研究。
Since this is so important I hope that the Government can have a proactive study on postpartum job protection period for women as soon as possible
對於即將取消的強積金對沖安排，政府也會實施過渡期，並撥款200億元協助僱主度過這個階段，以解決強積金對沖的問題，保障僱員權益，這亦是一件好事。
In regard to the abolition of the offsetting arrangement of the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF the Government will also introduce a transitional period and allocate 20 billion to assist employers in going through this stage with a view to resolving the offsetting issue of MPF and protecting the rights and interests of employees . This is also a desirable move
不過，我十分希望在這裏告訴商界僱主，政府補貼幫忙"找數"，不應視為理所當然的慣例。
Nevertheless I very much want to ask the employers in the business sector not to take subsidization from the Government for granted
因為首先，政府財政收入均源自於納稅人，例如"打工仔女"、生意人，亦源自政府的其他收入，例如賣地或各種稅收等，全都是公共財政。
Because first of all the sources of government revenue are from taxpayers such as employees and businessmen as well as from other income sources such as land sale and various kinds of taxes . All of them are public finance
其實，對於僱員權益，最正統的做法便是由僱主提供，因為僱員替他們打工、為他們賣命、幫他們賺錢，故此最理想的做法應該是由僱主"埋單"。
In fact the most appropriate approach is for employers to provide their employees with the rights and interests because their employees are working for them working themselves to the bone for them and earning money for them . Hence the best way should be for employers to foot the bill
其實，我希望商界能對勞工權益方面抱持更開明的態度，多一點作出共同的承擔，因為香港始終是低稅率的社會，這亦是我們的競爭力所在。
In fact I wish that the business sector can be more open - minded towards labour rights and interests and will share the commitment because Hong Kong is after all practising a low tax regime which is where our competitiveness lies
當然，我認同應該徵收"超級富豪稅"或"暴利稅"，例如李嘉誠擁有一年賺取數十億元以上的超級企業，其實政府應該向這些公司或集 團多徵一點稅才正確。
Of course I acknowledge that a tax on the super - rich or windfall profit tax should be introduced . For instance Mr LI Ka - shing is in possession of a mega enterprise which is earning a few billion dollars a year . The Government should actually collect a bit more taxes from these companies or corporations
我希望制度涉及公平公義的社會和諧觀念，我相信只要社會達至公平和公義，不同階層的"打工仔"當然便會緊守崗位。
I wish that the system can incorporate the concept of social harmony with fairness and justice . I believe that as long as social fairness and justice can be achieved employees of various strata will stand fast at their posts . A large proportion of social wealth is hard - earned by employees
大部分的社會財富均是由"打工仔"有血有汗地賺回來的，做生意的朋友能夠在好的環境營商，可能是因為他們有眼光、懂得投資、懂得賺錢，但他們應該同時對勞工權益有多一點承擔，這樣社會便會更和諧、"一國兩制"便能更成功。
The success of those businessmen who can operate under a desirable business environment may be attributable to their foresight knowledge of investment and knowledge of making profits . But at the same time they should have a bit more commitment to labour rights and interests . As such our society will be more harmonious and one country two systems will be more successful
他說我們禮崩樂壞、暗渡陳倉，卻倒過來指責他。
They claimed that we trampled morality and pursued a hidden agenda but put the blame on them instead
到最後，他那支用金絲繡成的仁義之旗遭人踐踏，身體還中箭，回去兩年後更身亡。
In the end his flag of benevolence and righteousness embroidered with gold thread was trampled underfoot and his body was even hit by an arrow . He died two years after going home
所以，我們為了一項產假法案，甚至立法會其他議案，也要對這些反對派、"攬炒派"層出不窮的"拉布"手段予以反制。
Therefore in order to secure a bill on maternity leave and even other bills introduced to the Legislative Council we must also counteract the ever - emerging new filibustering tricks of these opposition Members in the mutual destruction camp
所以，鄭泳舜議員今天也坐了這麼久，把握立法會最後兩個會議加以推動。
That is why Mr Vincent CHENG has also been sitting for so long today to promote counteraction making good use of the last two Council meetings
回顧從前，沙盤推演，如果我們逆來順受，我肯定這項產假法案無法提交立法會，而且當時也不知道內務委員會主席李慧琼議員可以用這種方式選上當然過程中要鬥智鬥力當時沒有人預計得到，對嗎？
Looking back and employing logical reasoning I am sure that if we had turned the other cheek this maternity leave bill could not have been introduced to the Legislative Council . Moreover it was unknown at the time that the House Committee Chairman Ms Starry LEE could be elected in this way . Admittedly the process was a battle of wits but nobody expected it at that time did they?
所以，藉着這個過程，這項產假法案才能夠在今屆立法會內成功推動。
Hence through this process this maternity leave bill could be successfully taken forward in this term of the Legislative Council
我不管"攬炒派"今天投贊成票或反對票，即使他們投贊成票，我也不會認為他們支持這項產假法案。
I do not care whether the mutual destruction camp vote for or against the Bill today . Even if they vote for it I will not believe that they support this maternity leave bill
今次法案若能夠通過，絕對是在之前郭榮鏗議員所主持的內務委員會主席選舉中沒有"拉布"的議員的功勞，這一點我必須重申。
If this Bill is passed the credit should definitely go to those Members who did not filibuster in the election of House Committee Chairman which was previously presided over by Mr Dennis KWOK . I have to reiterate this point
現在說回環境，剛才聽到代理主席李慧琼議員特別提到，這項產假法案一開始也是旨在鼓勵生育，對嗎？
Now let us get back to the environment . I just heard Deputy President Ms Starry LEE specifically mention that the maternity leave bill sought to encourage childbirth right from the outset right?
正因為大家考慮生育時，會有不同的想法，產假是其中一個考慮因素。
It is precisely because when people consider having a child they have different thoughts and maternity leave is one of the considerations
然而，我想從漁農界的角度，說一個小故事。
Nevertheless I would like to tell a short story from the perspective of the agriculture and fisheries sector
這也是一種蠶食漁民資本的做法，令他們繼續留在海上捕魚，而人力卻不能上岸，變成一種環境的壓迫。
This was also a way to nibble away at fishermens capital so that they continued to stay at sea to fish and manpower could not shift ashore . As a result they were forced to resign themselves to the conditions of their life
到上年"黑 暴"時期，已不僅是錢的問題，甚至是恐防進入政府學校會被教壞，倒不如不要生小孩了。
When the period of black - clad violence erupted last year it was not just about money but even about the fear that children might be badly taught in government schools so having no children might be a better choice
所以，特區政府要營造一個鼓勵生育的環境，必須營造一個穩定而平和的社會。
Therefore the SAR Government has to create an environment that encourages childbirth as well as a stable and peaceful society
普通市民應該盡甚麼責任？
How then should Members react? . What obligations should ordinary members of the public fulfil?
有些長輩的頭腦很清晰、很堅持，他們要投票......
Some level - headed elders insisted on having to vote
噢，我剛才說到投票的問題。
Simply put if we do not create an environment oh I was talking about issues related to voting just now
即使特區政府通過了14個星期產假也無法鼓勵他們生育。
Even with the endorsement of the 14 - week maternity leave the SAR Government will fail to encourage them to have children
雖然特區政府會為僱主提供津貼，但如果公司只有一兩名員工，便不知怎樣填補勞動力了。
Although the SAR Government will provide employers with subsidies a company with only one or two employees will surely get puzzled about how to replenish the manpower
當然，這是個別極端的例子，中大型的公司理論上不會這樣做。
Of course this is an extreme individual case . In theory medium and large companies would not do so
我希望羅致光局長今天聽到議員的二讀發言之後，回去與其他局長討論一下，鼓勵生育不單是勞工及福利局的責任，而應是司長應該要處理的問題，甚至應該成立一個"特區生育委員會"，從僱主、生育者甚至丈夫的角度，綜合考慮包括侍產假等因素，這樣才能夠找到一個比較好的方向。
I hope that after listening to Members speeches on the Second Reading today Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong will go back to discuss with other Secretaries the idea that encouragement of childbirth is not the sole responsibility of the Labour and Welfare Bureau but rather an issue to be dealt with by the Chief Secretary for Administration who should even set up a Committee on Childbirth of the Special Administrative Region to comprehensively consider various factors including paternity leave from the perspectives of employers child bearers and even husbands . Only in this way can we find a better direction
政府於今年1月公布，該計劃的合資格年齡門檻將由65歲下調至60歲，並已要求顧問在檢討報告中提出實施方案。
The Government announced in January this year that the eligible age threshold for the Scheme would be lowered from 65 to 60 and that it had requested the consultant to draw up implementation options in the review report
代理主席，自2012年政府推出長者及合資格殘疾人士公共交通票價優惠計劃以來，合資格長者人數由當年的98萬人上升至2019年的132萬人，增幅約35%。
Deputy President since the Government Public Transport Fare Concession Scheme for the Elderly and Eligible Persons with Disabilities the Scheme was introduced in 2012 the number of eligible elderly persons has increased from 980 000 that year to 1 320 000 in 2019 representing an increase of about 35 %
隨着香港人口老化的趨勢，政府預計在2025年的合資格長者人數將進一步上升 至超過175萬人。
Having considered the trend of an ageing population in Hong Kong the Government expects the number of eligible elderly to rise further to more than 1.75 million by 2025
其間，政府根據優惠計劃需向各公共交通營辦商發還的車費或船費的經常開支，在2019-2020年度約13億元，為首年的5.7倍，預計2025-2026年度的經常開支更大幅增加至約30億元。
At the same time the recurrent expenditure for reimbursing public transport operators under the Scheme reached 1.3 billion in 2019 - 2020 or 5.7 times the sum in 2012 . The recurrent expenditure is expected to increase substantially to about 3 billion in 2025 - 2026
如計及將優惠計劃的合資格年齡降至60歲，則2025年的合資格人數將額外增加約62萬人。以此估算，政府在2025-2026年度就優惠計劃的預計經常開支將高達70億元。
Taking into account the proposal to lower the eligible age of the Scheme to 60 the number of eligible persons in 2025 will increase by about 620 000 and on this basis the estimated recurrent expenditure required for the Scheme is expected to be as high as 7 billion in 2025 - 2026
上述的政府開支預算並未計及業界要求將紅色小巴及更多類型的公共交通工具納入優惠計劃的建議。
The estimated government expenditure mentioned above has not covered the proposal from relevant industries of extending the Scheme to red minibuses and other modes of public transport
同時，隨着受惠人數持續上升，公帑開支將大幅增加，政府更有需要確保公帑運用得宜，故此必須認真考慮防止濫用優惠計劃的有效措施。
At the same time as the number of beneficiaries continues to rise public expenditure will increase substantially . Hence the Government needs to consider seriously effective measures to prevent abuses of the Scheme in order to ensure that public funds are used properly
以上種種互為影響的因素，均被納入政府聘請的顧問公司就檢討優惠計劃的研究範圍。
All these factors will affect each other and are included in the review of the Scheme by the consultant commissioned by the Government
顧問公司已完成公眾諮詢，正整理最終報告。
The consultant has completed a public consultation exercise and is in the process of compiling the final report
政府會仔細考慮顧問報告的分析和建議，尤其是各項優化建議的實施安排和財政承擔。
The Government will carefully consider the analysis and recommendations of the consultants report especially the implementation arrangements and financial commitment of the optimization proposals
就議員所提質詢的各部分，我現答覆如下： 一 政府於2018年聘請顧問公司，就優惠計劃的有效和可持續性進行全面檢討，並就相關範疇作出深入研究，包括應否涵蓋其他公共交通工具、應否調整受惠人士的資格、如何有效防止濫用、創新科技的應用等，並評估建議措施的可行性和長遠財政影響。
My reply to the various parts of the Members question is as follows 1 The Government engaged a consultancy firm in 2018 to conduct a comprehensive review of the effectiveness and sustainability of the Scheme and carry out in - depth studies on relevant areas including whether other public transport modes should be covered whether eligibility criteria of beneficiaries should be adjusted how abuses can be prevented effectively and the application of new technologies . The consultancy firm is also required to assess the feasibility and long - term financial impact of proposed recommendations
顧問公司已完成諮詢公眾和收集業界意見，現正整理最終報告。
The consultant has completed the public consultation and collected views of the industry and is now compiling the final report
政府會仔細考慮顧問報告的分析和建議，以評估各項優化措施的實施安排和財政承擔。
The Government will carefully consider the analysis and recommendations set out in the consultants report and assess the implementation arrangements and financial commitment relating to the various optimization measures
最終報告將會公開讓公眾參閱。
The final report will be made public
二及三 行政長官在2020年1月宣布，政府建議把優惠計劃的年齡資格由現時的65歲下調至60歲。勞工及福利局和運輸署已即時要求顧問公司在正進行的全面檢討中，優先研究切實可行的方案，以貫徹落實這建議。
2 and 3 Following the announcement by the Chief Executive in January 2020 of the Governments proposal to lower the age eligibility of the Scheme from the current 65 to 60 the Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Transport Department have immediately requested the consultant to accord priority to studying practical options to implement the proposal in the comprehensive review being conducted
事實上，顧問在檢討優惠計劃的諮詢期間，亦聽取並收集了多項業界和公眾人士提出的優化建議。
In fact during the consultation exercise for the review of the Scheme the consultant has listened to and collected a number of optimization proposals from the industry and the public
我剛才已概括地指出，降低年齡資格和加入更多類型的公共交通工具等，在香港人口老化的大趨勢下，將為政府的財政承擔帶來顯著影響。
As I have briefly mentioned earlier in this reply the lowering of the age eligibility and the addition of more public transport modes will have a significant impact on the financial commitment of the Government in the face of the general trend of an ageing population in Hong Kong
政府在收到顧問報告後，有必要仔細考慮報告內建議的各項優化措施 的可行性、細節安排、推行時間、財務評估等。
Upon receipt of the consultants report it is necessary for the Government to consider carefully the feasibility detailed arrangements timing of implementation financial assessment and so on of the optimization measures proposed in the report
如未能制訂如何加入更多類型的公共交通工具前，推行將年齡資格下調至60歲，將會令那些仍未納入優惠計劃的公共交通工具流失大量乘客，因而面臨經濟困難。
If the eligible age is lowered to 60 before a decision is made on how other public transport modes could be included public transport modes that have not been included in the Scheme may lose a large number of passengers and therefore face financial difficulty
根據現有資料，不記名的長者八達通卡及65歲或以上人士持有的個人八達通卡，於2018年約有360萬張於過往3年曾經使用，而這數目以每年約30萬張增長，相對於2018年，香港只有近125萬名65歲或以上的長者，以及每年增加只有約5萬人。
According to available information in 2018 a total of 3.6 million anonymous Elder Octopus cards and Personalised Octopus cards for elderly aged 65 or above were issued and had been used within past three years and this figure increases by about 300 000 per year whilst there were only around 1.25 million elderly aged 65 or above in 2018 and the annual increase is only around 50 000
如未能有效防止濫用問題，將會浪費大量公帑。
Failure to prevent abuse effectively will cause substantial waste of public money
政府了解公眾對優惠計劃的關注和期望可盡早將年齡資格降低至60歲，所以政府已承諾在完成檢討工作後，除公開顧問報告外，亦會詳細交代政府對各項建議的決定和實施時間表。
Noting the public concern about the Scheme and expectation to lower the age eligibility to 60 as soon as possible the Government has undertaken to make public the consultants report and give detailed accounts of its decision on the various recommendations and implementation timetable after the review is completed
近數年來，60歲至65歲的人口維持在約60萬人，這數目未來會輕微上升，但40年後，60歲至64歲的人口會下跌至少於25萬人。
Over the past few years the number of people aged between 60 and 65 has remained at around 600 000 and it will increase slightly in the future . But 40 years later the number of people aged between 60 and 64 will drop to less than 250 000
所以，就長遠的財政負擔而言，單單60歲至64歲的年齡組別並不會對這措施構成主要的長遠財政承擔。
So in terms of long - term financial commitment the 60 to 64 age cohort alone will not constitute a major burden in our financial commitment to this measure
我想談論一個問題。
I want to talk about one issue
我之前在一個事務委員會會議上詢問港鐵公司有否任何數據，反映使用2元乘車優惠的65歲或以上人士的出行時間有否固定pattern。
At a Panel meeting some time ago I asked whether MTRCL had any statistics showing a fixed pattern of travel timeslots among users of the 2 fare concession aged 65 or above
當然，就詳細的分析，在我們接獲及公布報告後，大家可以參閱有關數據。
Of course about detailed analyses Members may refer to the statistics concerned after we have received and published the report
除2元乘車優惠外，政府會否考慮再推行各方面的措施呢？
Apart from the 2 fare concession will the Government consider the idea of introducing further measures in various respects?
特區的官員特別"多口"，共有5個口，真的是凡事他們說了算。
But the Chinese expression 特區官員 contains exceptionally many 口 and there are altogether five 口 in it . They honestly have all the say in everything
如果這亦不算是自相矛盾的話，我真的不知道何謂"矛盾"了。
If this cannot be regarded as a self - contradiction then I honestly cannot tell the meaning of contradiction
優惠計劃的目的，是鼓勵長者及合資格殘疾人士融入社區，藉以建立關愛共融的社會，這與綜援計劃下的交通補助金的目的相似。
The Schemes objective is to encourage elderly people and eligible persons with disabilities to integrate into the community and in turn build up a caring and inclusive society . Its objective is similar to that of the Transport Supplement under the CSSA Scheme
這是否政策矛盾呢？
Isnt this a policy contradiction?
以我所知，是相當少的，根本少無可少。
As far as I know the number is very small and it cannot possibly get any smaller
既然如此，為何局長要顧及該等交通工具的營運困難，而不考慮60歲至64歲長者的需要呢？
In that case why should the Secretary cater for the operational difficulties faced by those transport modes rather than taking account of the needs of elderly people aged 60 to 64?
如果他們能夠享用有關優惠，他們便可以更常參與社交活動，從而加強社會內部的經濟運作，因為他們出行時一定會消費，這亦會為社會帶來更大裨益。
If they can enjoy the relevant concession they may participate in social activities more often and in turn enhance economic operation in our domestic community because they will definitely spend money once they go out . This will also bring more benefits to society
代理主席，有兩種頗受年長人士喜歡的交通工具紅色小巴及電車皆尚未納入優惠計劃之內。
Deputy President two modes of transport that are quite popular among elderly people―namely red minibuses and trams―have not been included in the Scheme
紅色小巴的票價不受政府監管。
Red minibus fares are not subject to government regulation
如果把紅色小巴納入優惠計劃，其票價與2元票價的差距便需由政府全數承擔。
If red minibuses are to be included in the Scheme any discrepancies between their fares and the 2 fare will have to be borne by the Government in full amount
政府在2018年委聘顧問進行研究，而局長剛才提及，當檢討工作完成後，便會盡快公開顧問報告。
The Government commissioned a consultant to conduct a study in 2018 and the Secretary mentioned earlier that when the review was completed the consultancy report would be made public as soon as practicable
此外，公務員的薪酬開支也為數不少，而且在付錢後，顧問公司還要花長時間才能夠完成報告。
Besides the expenditure on civil servants remuneration is not small either . After the Government pays the money the consultant needs a long time to complete the report
事實上，類似研究最花時間的部分是公眾參與，當中涉及探討不同持份者的不同意見、方案和可能性等。
As a matter of fact the most time - consuming task in similar studies is public engagement . It involves an examination of the various views and proposals put forth by different stakeholders and feasibility of such proposals
我先不論延長產假4個星期是否足夠，回顧我們的歷史，香港在1971年引入10個星期無薪產假，當年放產假的婦女今天可能已經當上祖母了。
Leaving aside the sufficiency of the four - week extension if we trace back in history a 10 - week unpaid ML was first introduced to Hong Kong in 1971 . Those women who took ML at that time may have become grandmothers now
直至1981年，政府又引入受僱不少於40個星期的懷孕僱員可以享有三分之二有薪產假。
Subsequently in 1981 the Government introduced an ML pay at two thirds of the wages of pregnant employees who had been employed for no less than 40 weeks
代理主席，1995年至今已過了25年，放取產假的僱員仍然維持八折支薪。
Deputy President 25 years have passed since 1995 and employees taking ML are still paid at 80 % of their wages . I am a mother of two . I also took my ML in the pre - four and post - six weeks pattern
