此外，我同意加強國情教育，在中港關係日益密切的今天，香港學生身為中國人，理應加深對國情的了解。
Furthermore I agree that national education should be strengthened . At a time when China - Hong Kong relations have become increasingly closer Hong Kong students as Chinese people should gain a deeper understanding of our country and its situation
中國改革開放數十年，在經濟、文化、科研等各方面皆取得巨大成就，學生理應有所認識。
After decades of reform and opening up China has made huge economic cultural and scientific achievements which students should know
既然前線教師在教授相關議題方面存在困難，當局有必要加強這些方面的研究，為前線教師提供更多指引和協助。
Since frontline teachers have difficulties in teaching these topics it is necessary for the authorities to enhance their study in these areas and provide them with more guidance and assistance
主席，我重申自由黨支持徹底改革通識科，將其列為選修科，制訂官方教材及培訓相關教師，這些對於香港考試及評核局擬出試題均十分重要。
President I reiterate that the Liberal Party supports thoroughly reforming the subject of LS; listing LS as an elective subject; producing official teaching materials and providing training for the teachers concerned . All these are vital to the setting of examination questions by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority
最後，我發言支持葛珮帆議員所提出"徹底改革通識教育科"的議案，以及梁美芬議員及郭偉强議員的修正案。
With these remarks I support the motion on Thoroughly reforming the subject of Liberal Studies moved by Ms Elizabeth QUAT and the amendments of Dr Priscilla LEUNG and Mr KWOK Wai - keung
主席，我的發言會很短。
President I will just speak in brief
但如果下星期一或星期二，人大常委會通過有關新一屆立法會選舉的完善選舉制度的方案後，所有未來參與選舉或參政的人士，必定是愛國、愛港人士。
But then if next Monday or Tuesday NPC passes the decision on improving the electoral system which concerns the election for the next term of the Legislative Council all those who will stand for election or participate in politics in the future must be people who love our country and Hong Kong
我相信，很多我們現在修改的規則，可能不會用得着，所以，大家不用擔心甚麼罰款機制、罰停賽機制會出現。
I believe many of the rules amended by us now may not be put to use . So Members should not worry about the presence of a mechanism for financial penalty or suspension from the service of the Council
我相信由之後新一屆立法會開始，這些情況均不會出現，主席亦不用費神作出有關這些情況的決定。
I believe that from the next term of the Legislative Council none of these situations will arise and the President can save the effort of making decisions in respect of these situations
事有湊巧，當我們這次修改《議事規則》將一些發言時間縮短，我們正好有這個需要，尤其我們將由現在的70位議員增至90位議員。
By coincidence this time when we amend RoP to shorten the speaking time limits of certain sessions we happen to have such a need especially when this Council will see an increase in the number of Members from 70 at present to 90
大家可以計算一下，如果每人有7分鐘或15分鐘發言時間的話，這樣，開會時間必定會拖長很多，每項議案的審議時間可能會多三分之一甚至五分之二。
Let us just do some calculations . If the speaking time limit for each Member is 7 minutes or 15 minutes this will definitely lengthen the meeting time significantly with the deliberation time for each agenda item possibly increased by one third or even two fifths
我相信永遠不會再發生如去年內務委員會選主席的情況，因為現在正如我剛才所說所有進入立法會的皆為愛國人士，不論來自甚麼黨派，泛民也好、甚麼都好，凡是進入立法會的人士，都必定會遵守過去所訂的規矩，不會再亂來，亦不夠膽亂來。
Of course regarding filibuster election of committee chairmen and things I believe situations like the election of the Chairman of the House Committee last year will never happen again because now—as I just said—all those who join the Legislative Council will be patriots regardless of their political affiliations be it the pan - democratic camp or whatever . Whoever joins the Legislative Council will definitely comply with the rules previously established . No one will run amok nor dare to do so
代理主席，在"黑暴"期間有超過1萬人被捕，當中4,000多人是中學生或大學生，情況令人震驚和憂慮，很多人認為原因是通識科出了大問題。
Deputy President over 10 000 people were arrested during the black - clad violence and more than 4 000 of them were secondary or university students . The situation was shocking and worrying . Many believe this is caused by the problematic subject of Liberal Studies LS
通識科是高中的核心科目，原意是要訓練學生的分析能力和視野，增加對香港、國家及全球的認識。
The LS subject is one of the core senior secondary subjects and the original intent is to develop students analytical skills and vision as well as enhance their understanding of Hong Kong the country and the world
為了讓學校因應社會發展及教學情況授課，教育局最初沒有制訂教材規範，也沒有教科書，授課內容是由校方及教師制訂。
In order to enable the schools to teach in accordance with the social development and teaching conditions the Education Bureau EDB had not established any standards for teaching materials or provided any textbooks at the very beginning and the teaching content was drawn up by schools and teachers
事實上，通識科自推出後一直為人詬病，原因是課程不着邊際，學生的學習壓力相當大。
In fact the LS subject has been subject to criticisms since its introduction . The curriculum is vague and students are under great pressure to learn
近年社會熱炒政治議題，通識科亦變得政治化，不論教學內容或考試題目均涉及政治議題，甚至有失德教師向學生灌輸"黑暴"歪理。
Given that political issues have become a heated topic in the community in recent years the LS subject has also become politicized . Both the teaching content and examination questions are related to political issues and some misbehaving teachers have even instilled into students the idea of black - clad violence
社會終於看清楚通識教育的種種弊病。
The community finally sees clearly the various shortcomings of LS
雖然我相信大部分通識教師都是專業持平的，但事實證明，很多有政治立場的教師在教學時，引導學生跟隨他們的政治思想。
While I believe most LS subject teachers are professional and impartial it is a proven fact that many teachers with political stances have led students to follow their political ideologies when teaching
過去傳媒多次揭露這種違反專業操守的行為，例如有教師製作極度偏頗的教材，鼓吹學生公民抗命、罷課、佔領，並對學生在佔中期間的行為予以讚賞，更以偏概全地醜化內地及香港政府。
The media had exposed time and again that teachers violated their professional conduct in the past . For instance some teachers produced extremely biased teaching materials that advocated students participation in civil disobedience class boycotts and occupation and praised students for what they did during the Occupy Central movement . Worse still they vilified the Mainland and Hong Kong governments in a biased manner
此外，在前年"黑暴"期間，更有人揭發一些散播仇警、仇中信息及支持"黑暴"的人，是通識教育系統的重要人物，真是令人震驚 這些教師對學生進行政治"洗腦"，從而達到他們的政治目的。
Furthermore during the black - clad violence the year before last it was also revealed that some people who spread the message of hatred against the Police and China and supported black - clad violence were important figures in the LS system . This was really shocking! . These teachers politically brainwashed the students to achieve their political goals
我看見中學生身穿校服上街，感到特別痛心。
I was particularly saddened to see secondary students take to the streets wearing school uniforms
既然社會人士清楚了解通識科的種種弊病，便應盡快作出改革。
Now that the community has seen clearly the shortcomings of the LS subject a reform should thus be carried out as soon as possible
教育局近日發出優化通識科的諮詢文件，並提出多項改革，包括重整課程內容，由六大單元改為3個主題，授課時間亦由250小時減至大約130小時至150小時，公開考試亦只設"達標"與"不達標"兩級，以減低學生的壓力。
EDB recently published a consultation document on optimizing the LS subject and proposed a number of changes such as reorganizing the curriculum content; changing it from six modules to three themes; reducing the total lesson time from 250 hours to around 130 to 150 hours and marking the public examinations as attained and not attained to reduce the pressure on students
因此，這次改革將大大減低學生的學習壓力，對學生及家長而言也是好事。
Therefore this reform will greatly reduce the pressure of students in learning which is good for students and their parents
新通識科將會有具體的學習重點，而且設有教科書。
The new LS subject will have specific learning focus and textbooks
按照現行的課本送審機制，新通識科課本亦會送審。
According to the existing textbook review mechanism the new LS textbooks will also be submitted for review
事實上，有了固定的學習重點，便可避免有政治傾向的教師胡作非為，而教科書送審亦可避免教材出現偏頗。
As a matter of fact the establishment of learning focus can prevent teachers with political inclination from acting arbitrarily whereas the submission of textbooks for review can prevent the existence of biased teaching materials
我認為這是正確的方向，亦可解決最大的弊端。
I think this is the right direction and can address the major shortcoming
由於新通識科包含國情教育元素，有人認為這是變相的國情教育，於是大力反對。
As the new LS subject contains the elements of national education some considered it a disguised form of national education and strongly opposed it
國情教育有甚麼問題？
What is wrong with national education?
教育局指出，課程的其中一個目標，是培養學生的國民素養及國民身份認同。
As pointed out by EDB one of the targets of the curriculum is to cultivate students quality as a member of the country and their sense of national identity
課程讓學生能夠立足香港，理解國家的未來發展。
The curriculum allows students to have a foothold in Hong Kong and understand the future development of the country
這一直是中小學教育的宗旨，並非新事物。
This has always been the objective of primary and secondary education and is nothing new
教育局還指出，只要是基於事實和理性分析，新學科亦可討論事情的好壞。
EDB also pointed out that the new subject allows discussion of the merits of certain things as long as they are based on facts and rational analysis
事實上，讓學生了解自己的國家及國家歷史只是基本知識，是自然不過的事，西方國家也有這樣做，並沒有人反對。
It is actually basic knowledge and only natural for students to understand their own country and its history . Western countries also do so and there is no opposition at all
學生有了親身體驗，認識國家的真實情況，便不會被人蒙蔽。
After gaining first - hand experience and understanding the genuine situation of the country students will not be deceived by others anymore
我希望教師明白，如果他們教壞學生，特別是向學生灌輸無須守法或可自行決定何謂惡法的概念，學生便一定會犯法，亦一定會走上歧途，令他們的家庭陷入苦海，這樣教師真的是罪大惡極。
I hope teachers will understand that if they exert a bad influence on students especially instilling in them the concepts that they do not need to abide by the law or can decide on their own what constitutes a draconian law the students are more prone to break the law and go astray thereby plunging their families into misery . In that case such teachers will have committed heinous crimes
因此，我希望教育局加強監察，以免教師誤人子弟，這樣教育局局長便功德無量。
Hence I hope that EDB will step up supervision to avoid students from being led astray by such teachers . In this way the Secretary for Education would really do us a great service
主席，自從佔中事件以來，"攬炒派"不斷利用《議事規則》的漏洞，在立法會發動"拉布戰"，令立法會多次陷入半癱瘓的狀態，拖垮立法的工作，目的是想"拖政府後腿"，令香港跌入"攬炒"的陷阱。
President since the Occupy Central movement the mutual destruction camp waged a filibuster battle by taking advantage of the loopholes in the Rules of Procedure RoP which had rendered the Legislative Council in a semi - paralysed state on many occasions and brought down legislative work for the purpose of dragging down the Government so that Hong Kong would fall into the trap of mutual destruction
及至2019年，"拉布"已達到最嚴重的地步，"攬炒派"議員在行為上越趨暴力和激進，衝擊保安人員已是司空見慣，最後更有人投擲臭蛋，簡直荒謬。
Their filibuster reached its zenith in 2019 with the behaviour of the mutual destruction - camp Members getting more violent and radical . It had become common to see them charge at security staff
根據統計，由2016年至2020年，他們的"拉布"行為濫用超過500次的點算法定人數程序，導致17次流會，最少14項法案受到拖延。
They even resorted to throwing rotten eggs . How ridiculous . According to statistics from 2016 to 2020 their filibustering tactics included abusing the procedure by calling quorum counts for over 500 times causing the abortion of 17 meetings with at least 14 bills being delayed
事實上，為了遏止"拉布"潮，立法會在2017年通過由建制派議員提出的24項《議事規則》的修訂，在2018年亦曾修改兩項財務委員會程序，目的是收窄他們的"拉布"空間。
In fact in order to suppress the wave of filibuster the amendments to 24 items in RoP moved by pro - establishment Members were passed by the Legislative Council in 2017 and two items in the Finance Committee Procedure were also amended in 2018 for the purpose of narrowing down the room for filibustering
他們在一開始時收斂了一點，但沒有多久後，"攬炒派"便挖空心思，想到很多"拉布"的手法。
The mutual destruction camp showed some restraint at the beginning but very soon they racked their brains to come up with different filibustering tactics
我亦很感謝當時主席表明應直接投票，不得處理規程問題，最終順利選出內會主席。
I also thank him for specifying that we should proceed straight to balloting and should not hear points of order . The new HC Chairman was successfully elected in the end
保安員受到他們衝擊，需要奮力抵抗，有部分女保安員更為辛苦。
It was even harder for female security staff
因此，我認為在該次事件及在過去數年間，就他們對議會的衝擊而言，其實最辛苦是秘書長、法律顧問和秘書處同事，因為他們受到很無理的指責，甚至人身攻擊。
In the past few years and in this incident talking about the storming of the Council people who suffered the most were the Secretary General Legal Advisers and colleagues of the Legislative Council Secretariat for they faced very unreasonable accusations or even personal attacks
保安同事更可憐，直接受到議員衝擊，所以，我認為他們專業地處理這數年的事情，是值得表揚的。
The security staff were even more helpless as they were directly confronted by those Members . So I think their professionalism in handling chaos in these few years is worthy of commendation
經過各位同事研究後，議事規則委員會提出8項修訂，其中5項是修訂《議事規則》，即是今天會審議及表決的議案，另外有3項涉及《內務守則》。
After discussion among colleagues the Committee on Rules of Procedure proposes eight amendments five of them involve RoP which are going to be considered and voted on today and three involve the House Rules HP
今天的5項修訂，包括行為極不檢點的議員將會被暫停職務和被扣除該期間的酬金；訂明立法會辯論的時限和調整議員發言的時間；在任的正副主席在有關委員會選出下一屆主席前，須具有正副主席可行使的一切權力；完善立法會辯論中止待續程序；以及第五項，防止可能出現濫用程序的修訂。
The five amendments under discussion today include suspending Members with grossly disorderly conduct from service and deducting their remuneration during the suspension period; specifying time limits on debates in the Council and adjusting the length of Members speeches; granting the chairmandeputy chairman in office all the powers that may be exercised by the chairmandeputy chairman of the committee concerned until the chairman for the next session is elected; fine - tuning the procedure for the adjournment of debate in the Council; and the fifth one introducing amendments to prevent possible abuse of procedures . A red card system is also introduced in the proposed amendments . If the President is of the opinion that his powers under Rule 452 are inadequate with respect to the grossly disorderly conduct of a member the President may name such Member
反而有關行為被傳媒廣泛報道後，那些議員被人視為英雄，變相有收穫而沒有付出，結果越來越多人這樣做，行為越來越激烈，因為制度令人樂於做此事。
On the contrary after extensive media coverage on their behaviour in the Council they were treated as heroes . Seeing that they take more than they give more and more Members followed suit and their behaviour got more and more violent . It was the system that made them do so
現在設有"紅牌"制度及扣薪制度，我相信阻嚇力會更大。
Now that with the red card and remuneration deduction system I believe that the deterrent effect will be greater
而且，從現實角度來看，立法會議員將增加至90人，縮減發言時間也是無可避免的。
From a practical point of view shortening the speaking time is inevitable given that the number of Legislative Council Members will increase to 90
主席，立法會的《議事規則》大體上沿用港英立法局那一套，再逐步作出修改。
President RoP of the Legislative Council has generally been following the one used by the British Hong Kong Legislative Council with some amendments over the time
當年議員均是循規蹈矩，因為當時是委任制度，如議員胡搞，下次便不會再獲委任，所以，當時的《議事規則》和《內務守則》是君子協定，所有議員都自覺地遵守，條文也寫得比較寬鬆。
Back then Members were all well - behaved because appointment system was adopted . If they made a mess in the Council they would not be appointed again . So RoP and HR were simply gentlemens agreements with relatively lenient provisions that all Members followed spontaneously
但是，在過去數年，確實有人以行動證明他們不會尊重《議事規則》，所以一定要把條文寫得清楚一些，令他們無法鑽空子。
However in the past few years some Members proved in action that they would not respect RoP so we must write down clearer rules to stop them from making use of the loopholes therein
這句說話其實很可悲，因為最好是議員自己管自己，但事實上，如不收緊條文，他們便盡量鑽空子和濫用有關規則，結果是議會受害、所有同事受害、香港受害。
What I say is in fact very sad because the best way is for Members to exercise self - control . However if we do not tighten the rules they may make use of the loopholes and abuse the rules concerned as much as possible which will harm the Council all colleagues and Hong Kong
所以，我認為我們真的有責任堵塞《議事規則》的漏洞，亦是必要的工作，因此我是支持這項議案的。
In my opinion we have the responsibility to plug the loopholes in RoP and it is also necessary to do it so I support this Motion
主席，香港是彈丸之地，但卻有七成多土地尚未發展，現時的700萬人口是居住在區區7%的土地之上，當中更有差不多一半屬鄉郊地區。
President Hong Kong is an extremely tiny place but more than 70 % of its land has been left undeveloped . The current population of 7 million is occupying only 7 % of our land while almost half of the land in Hong Kong is rural areas
所以，今天劉業強議員提出討論鄉郊發展，可說是非常有意義。
Therefore it is indeed very meaningful for Mr Kenneth LAU to propose a motion for a discussion on rural development today
我們不單要關心鄉郊居民的生活，亦應探討如何善用整個香港的土地，以達致平衡及多元化的發展。
We should not only care about the lives of rural residents but also examine how we can make good use of the land in the entire Hong Kong so as to achieve balanced and diversified development
香港並非沒有土地，只是有地不用。
There is no lack of land in Hong Kong but we fail to make full use of the land available
眼見市民要住"劏房"、捱貴樓、城市發展步伐受土地不足拖累，政府理應改變思維，不能只靠"辣招"遏抑需求，而應積極善用新界土地。
When people have to live in subdivided units or pay exorbitant prices for a home and the pace of urban development is affected by a shortage of land the Government should change its mindset . Instead of relying solely on its harsh measures to curb demand the Government should make optimum use of land in the New Territories proactively
市區樓宇已高度密集，所以政府應加快善用新界土地，令社會發展更加平衡，這樣才會對香港帶來更大益處。
As urban areas are already densely populated it should expeditiously make good use of land in the New Territories so as to facilitate more balanced social development which will in turn bring greater benefits to Hong Kong
主席，粵港澳大灣區是國家戰略發展，要讓整個地區發揮最大價值，便一定要拆牆鬆綁，越方便越好。
President the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area is a national strategy and in order to maximize the development value of the entire region efforts should be made to remove barriers and the more convenient the better
雖然接壤深圳的邊境禁區已於近年逐步解禁，但現時區內仍有很多閒置土地，政府應思考如何善用。
Although the restriction of the frontier closed area adjoining Shenzhen has been gradually relaxed in recent years a lot of land sites in the area still remain idle and the Government should consider how to make good use of them
日後，所有過關手續均會在深圳進行，所以可將現時的落馬洲管制站、清關區及停車場等用地全部用作發展，因為這些用地已有配套及連接道路，如能在這基礎上進行發展，應很快可看到成效。
Given that all clearance procedures will be conducted in Shenzhen in the future lands currently used for accommodating the Lok Ma Chau Control Point its clearance areas and parking lot can all be used for future development . As supporting facilities and connecting roads are already available the development based on such a solid foundation should produce results very soon
為了成為國際創科中心，政府會投資數以百億元發展落馬洲河套區。
In order to develop into an international centre for innovation and technology the Government will invest tens of billions of dollars for the development of the Lok Ma Chau Loop the Loop
一河之隔的深圳其實已高樓林立，非常繁華，但香港這邊卻只有一望無際的水田。
While there are skyscrapers everywhere in the prosperous city of Shenzhen on the opposite bank all we can see on this side in Hong Kong are just vast and boundless paddy fields
當局要在中間的河套區搞高新科技，但四周環境說得好聽一點是田園美景，直白而言卻是荒山野嶺，跟四周的發展格格不入。
The authorities are planning to engage in high - tech development in the Loop which lies in the middle but the surrounding environment is totally incompatible with the planned development when this place to put it more nicely of beautiful rural scenery is frankly speaking just a large piece of wild and barren land
這個範圍以前是禁區，居民出入不便，外人亦難以進入，但現在只要政府肯就落馬洲站、管制區用地及河套區四周土地進行完整規 劃，便可為該區帶來翻天覆地的變化。
The place used to be part of the frontier closed area and it is difficult to access for both local residents and outsiders . However as long as the Government is willing to map out a complete planning for the lands in Lok Ma Chau Station and Control Point as well as the surrounding land of the Loop earth - shaking changes may take place in the entire area
局長昨天也表示有意將該區打造成區域樞紐，這方向值得支持。
The Secretary also indicated yesterday that there was intention to develop the area into a regional hub and I consider this direction worth supporting
至於談論多年的新界東北發展，現時的步伐仍屬太慢，政府在發展時不敢逾越既定範圍，只會在其內作出規劃，完全不理會外圍情況。
As for the development in North East New Territories which we have been discussing for years the current pace is still too slow . Since the Government dares not go beyond the established scope of the development plan planning is only made within that scope with utterly no regard for the external circumstances
由河套區、打鼓嶺以至香園圍口岸，整片土地均已解禁，而且不屬郊野公園範圍，只有部分屬綠化地帶及鄉村居民居住之地。
It should be noted that the restrictions on the whole stretch of land from the Loop Ta Kwu Ling to the Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point have already been relaxed . Moreover the whole area has not been incorporated into country parks only part of it has been zoned as green belt and used for residential purpose
如政府能好好作出規劃，與村民一起協商和發展，帶給他們更加便利的生活，相信很多村民均願意一同參與。
If a good planning can be made by the Government in consultation with villagers for development plan which will bring greater convenience to their daily lives I am sure many of them will be willing to participate in the plan
由於整個區域範圍廣闊，地勢亦算平坦，兼且毗鄰深圳，該處其實有極高發展潛力。
The place does possess high development potential as it covers an extensive area has a relatively flat terrain and lies adjacent to Shenzhen
發展鄉郊地區其實也是完善周邊設施的機會，既可讓遠足人士安全地享受戶外樂趣，也可令村民生活不受騷擾，甚至因休閒旅遊帶來的經濟活動而共同受益。
Developing rural areas can in fact provide us with an opportunity to improve the surrounding facilities so that hikers may enjoy the pleasure brought about by outdoor activities safely without causing nuisance to the lives of villagers who may even benefit from the economic activities of leisure tourism
主席，香港長時間受土地問題所限，以致在發展方面出現種種掣肘。
President owing to its long standing land - related problem Hong Kong is facing a lot of limitations as far as development is concerned
單靠現時在市區作密集發展，並不足以讓我們這個國際城市更進一步。
High density development in urban areas alone will not be enough to make this international city of ours to move to a higher level
香港是一個很有特色的地方，每一區均有瞄頭，希望數年後的鄉郊地區發展能為市民帶來驚喜。
Hong Kong is such a special place where every district has its own distinctive features and I hope that our rural development will bring some pleasant surprise to the public a few years later
主席，我們身為立法會議員，本來應該感到無上光榮，因為能夠參與制定法律、審批公共開支和監察政府施政，是十分榮幸和有意義的事情。
President in our capacity as the Legislative Council Members we should feel the honour as we can participate in the law - making process examine public spending and monitor the Governments policy implementation . It is an honour for us to carry out these meaningful tasks
但是，這數年只要提及立法會，市民便會想起"拉布"、搞事、流會和擲東西，我身處這個如此嚴肅、如此莊嚴的議事廳，想起過去一幕幕近乎荒謬的場面，真的感到既無奈又痛心。
Nevertheless if we talk about the Legislative Council in recent years people will only be reminded of filibusters stirring up of trouble aborted meetings and throwing of objects . Sitting in this solemn and dignified Chamber I feel helpless and sad when I recall a succession of absurd scenes of the past
事實上，自從2011年，個別議員利用《議事規則》的灰色地帶發動"拉布"之後，近10年來，部分議員瘋狂濫用《議事規則》的議事程序，但凡涉及跟內地有關的議題，包括《國歌法》、高鐵"一地兩檢"等也無法避開被"拉布"的命運。
As a matter of fact since 2011 certain Members had made use of the grey area of the Rules of Procedure to stage filibusters . And in the past decade some Members had been insanely abusing the Rules of Procedure . Whenever a topic was related to the Mainland such as the National Anthem Law the Co - location Arrangement of the Express Rail Link and so on they were all subject to filibuster
個別前議員"逢中必反"，"逢特區政府必反"，甚至"為反而反"。
Some former Members opposed everything from China or everything from the SAR Government
在2016年至2020年的立法會會期內，"攬炒派"議員不斷"拉布"拖延會議，涉及501次濫用點算法定人數機制，導致流會14次，造成最少14項法案無法成立法案委員會審議。
Some even opposed everything for the sake of opposition . During the legislative sessions from 2016 to 2020 Members from the mutual destruction camp kept on staging filibusters to delay Council meetings . They abused the quorum call mechanism by making 501 calls and thus caused the abortion of 14 meetings and the failure to form at least 14 Bills Committees
2019年10月開始，前立法會議員郭榮鏗濫用《議事規則》惡意阻撓、阻礙立法會運作，加上其他反對派議員裏應外合，導致立法會內務委員會癱瘓足足超過6個月。
Since October 2019 former Member Dennis KWOK malevolently abused the Rules of Procedure to hinder the operation of the Legislative Council . Aided by seamless cooperation from the Members of the opposition camp he had paralysed the House Committee of the Legislative Council for more than six months
其間多項法案無法及時審議，超過80項附屬法例在限期屆滿前得不到處理，一些跟經濟民生息息相關的法例亦未能及時通過。
During that period the Legislative Council was unable to conduct timely examination of its business as more than 80 items of subsidiary legislation were not dealt with before the expiry of their scrutiny periods . Many livelihood - related laws were unable to be passed in time
因應疫情，雖然政府在去年7月宣布押後立法會選舉1年，但"攬炒派"繼續搞事，令立法會根本沒有一次會議能夠順利舉行。
Owing to the pandemic the Government announced in July last year the postponement of the election of the Legislative Council for one year but the mutual destruction camp kept on stirring up trouble . As a result not a single Council meeting was able to be held smoothly without incident
