如果情況屬後者，行政長官會如何處罰該人，又或是否有任何處罰方案？
In the latter case how will the Chief Executive punish that person or is there any option of punishing that person?
局方或行政長官會如何處理這個不實申報的問題？
How will the bureau or the Chief Executive deal with this untruthful declaration issue?
第一，我認為不適宜就個別個案作出評論和討論。
First I do not think it is appropriate to comment on and discuss individual cases
因此，我不能就深入審查制度的具體安排或過程中會否詢問某些問題作出評論。
Therefore I am not in a position to make comments regarding the specific arrangements of the extended checking system or whether certain questions will be asked in the process
主席，律政司司長的僭建風波已成為一個政治炸彈。
President the UBWs fiasco of the Secretary for Justice has become a political bomb
由司長上任第一天至今，這個炸彈仍未爆完，對司長以至特區政府已造成傷害，傷勢有多深取決於各方人士之後的工作。
The explosion of this bomb which started on the first day of the term of office of the Secretary for Justice has yet to finish . It has harmed the Secretary for Justice as well as the SAR Government . The severity of the harm depends on the subsequent efforts of various parties
主席，看到這樣的情況，我真的很心痛。
President this situation has really caused me a great deal of heartache
事件發展至今，有很多事情真的難以理解。
In view of the development of the incident so far there are many things about it that are really unfathomable
第二，為何政府進行的品格審查無法查出司長寓所內有僭建物？
Second how come the Governments integrity checking failed to uncover the UBWs in her residence?
僭建問題已成為"政治殺手"，過去很多政治人物都因為僭建問題而受到傷害，甚或結束了政治生命。
The problem of UBWs has become a political killer in that it has harmed many political figures or even ended their political lives
政府是否認為過去進行的品格審查有疏漏，導致今次社會、司長以至政府要面對這個炸彈？
Does the Government consider that there were omissions in the integrity checks conducted in the past thus resulting in the community the Secretary for Justice and the Government having to face this bomb this time?
正如我剛才所說，深入審查是在委任政治委任官員之前進行的，而這個機制在安排及運作上，與適用於聘用公務員或委任公務員出任某些職位時所須進行的深入審查的機制，大致相同。
As I said just now extended checking is conducted before the appointment of a PAO and this mechanism in terms of arrangements and operation is largely the same as that applicable to the extended checking required for employing civil servants or appointing civil servants to certain posts
很明顯，今次事件已經發生，這是否代表有人不值得信任，或有人不合作呢？
Evidently given the occurrence of this incident does this mean that someone is untrustworthy or uncooperative?
主席，我想問的是：鑒於議員今天對品格審查制度存在重大漏洞所表達的關注，局長會否要求特區政府研究未來如何完善有關機制，甚至考慮將某些相關的重要資料公開，讓議員能夠在立法會內監察未來的問責官員？
President what I want to ask is Given the concerns expressed by Members today about a major loophole in the integrity checking system will the Secretary request the SAR Government to study how to perfect the system in the future or even consider making public certain relevant and important information so that Members will be able to monitor future accountability officials in the Legislative Council?
主席，多謝楊議員的補充質詢。
President I thank Mr YEUNG for his supplementary question
首先，由於我們不適宜亦不能評論或討論某一個案的具體細節和情況，就該個案作出某些推論或結論並不合適。
First of all as it is not appropriate for us to comment on or discuss the specific details and circumstances of a particular case nor are we in a position to do so it is not appropriate to draw certain inferences or conclusions in respect of the case
不過，深入審查制度下設有程序，包括索取相關資料、進行會見、諮詢相關人士及翻查有關紀錄。
However under the extended checking system there are established procedures including soliciting relevant information conducting interviews consulting relevant persons and inspecting relevant records
我們不適宜在未掌握情況或不能詳細討論情況時作出結論，認為存在問題。
When we have yet to grasp the circumstances or when we are not in a position to discuss the circumstances in detail it is not appropriate for us to draw the conclusion that something has gone wrong
正如我們會進行驗身，看看自己是否有任何毛病，但完成驗身並不表示我們沒有毛病。
It is like a medical examination; we may undergo a medical examination to see if we have any health problem but the completion of the medical examination does not mean that we have no health problem
我認為就業是民生之本，支援失業及就業不足人士是政府應有之義。
In my view employment is the foundation of peoples livelihood . It is the Governments bounden duty to support the unemployed and underemployed
大家也知道，受"黑暴"和疫情打擊，本港的失業問題日益嚴峻。
As we all know under the impact of black - clad riots and the epidemic the unemployment problem in Hong Kong has become increasingly serious
根據政府統計處3月16日公布的最新數據，本港失業率已攀升至7.2%，達到2004年以來的高位，失業及就業不足的人數亦一同上升，分別增至261,600人及154,600人。
According to the latest figures released by the Census and Statistics Department on 16 March the unemployment rate in Hong Kong has reached 7.2 % the highest since 2004 . The numbers of unemployed and underemployed persons have both increased to 261 600 and 154 600 respectively
一系列數據意味着香港目前的失業及就業不足人士已超過41萬人，這些"打工仔"需要養家活口，當中不少人更會"手停口停"。
The series of figures mean that currently there are more than 410 000 unemployed and underemployed people in Hong Kong . These wage earners need to support their families and many of them live from hand to mouth
任何負責任的政府也不應對這情況視而不見，應該設法向這些失業及就業不足人士提供適當的支援，以保障他們的基本生活所需。
Any responsible government should not turn a blind eye to such a situation . It should endeavour to provide appropriate support for these unemployed and underemployed people so as to ensure that they can meet their basic needs in living
至於具體該如何支援失業及就業不足人士，原議案及修正案均已提出很多好建議，我不會逐一講述。
As for the specific ways to support the unemployed and underemployed the original motion and the amendments have put forward many good recommendations . I will not go into them one by one
但是，我想強調，政府應該從源 頭解決失業問題，對失業人士最好的支援是"保就業"，保住"打工仔"的"飯碗"，這遠較待"打工仔"失業後才提供支援更好。
However I would like to stress that the Government should tackle the unemployment problem at source . The best support for the unemployed is to safeguard the jobs and protect the rice bowls of wage earners which is far better than providing support only after the wage earners have become jobless
我不知道政府官員有否留意到李克強總理發表的工作報告，如果他們稍有留意便會知道，儘管內地疫情已受控，經濟已經迅速復蘇，但"保就業"依然是中央政府工作的重中之重。
I wonder if government officials have paid attention to the work report delivered by Premier LI Keqiang . If they care to do so they would know that although the epidemic on the Mainland has been brought under control and the economy has recovered rapidly it is still the top priority of the Central Government to safeguard jobs
為了達到"保就業"、利民生的目標，總理在報告中不斷提出優化和落實減稅的政策，更提出要對不裁員、少裁員的企業，繼續給予財政上和金融上等政策支持。
To achieve the goal of safeguarding jobs and benefiting peoples livelihood the Premier has repeatedly proposed in his report to enhance and implement the policy of tax reduction . He has also proposed to continue to provide support in fiscal and monetary policies for enterprises which do not or seldom lay off employees
我認為這體現中央始終秉持"惠企利民"原則，事事以民為本，始終將民眾的福祉放在政府的工作首位。
I think this manifests that the Central Authorities have always upheld the principle of benefiting enterprises and the people being people - oriented in every aspect and according priority to the peoples well - being in the Governments work all the time
最令我失望的是，香港政府由前年至今採取的所有"保就業"、支援失業人士的措施，幾乎都是"一刀切"地向某些受疫情衝擊較大的大行業或企業提供援助，對於那些受疫情衝擊相對較小，但同樣經營困難的行業，政府卻無暇顧及，亦不會對那些少裁員、不裁員的企業給予稅務及政策支持。
What is most disappointing to me is that all the measures taken by the Hong Kong Government since the year before last to safeguard jobs and support the unemployed seem to provide assistance in a broad - brush manner to certain major industries or enterprises which have been hit harder by the epidemic . As regards those industries which are subjected to less impact from the epidemic but are also operating with difficulties the Government did not take time to look after them . Neither did it give any taxation and policy support to those enterprises which had few or no layoffs
然而，最令我與我的業界失望和憤怒的是，特區政府不但沒有如中央政府一樣，對我們業界這些不裁員、少裁員的證券行給予稅務和政策支持，相反，政府反其道而行，只着重於看似昌旺的股市成交量，完全無視中小券商經營困難和業界強烈反對的聲音，執意大幅增加三成股票印花稅。
However what is most disappointing and infuriating to me and my industry is that the SAR Government has not only failed to provide taxation and policy support for securities brokers in our industry that do not or seldom lay off employees as the Central Government has done . On the contrary the Government acts in the opposite direction focusing only on the seemingly prosperous stock market turnover . Completely ignoring the business difficulties of small and medium - sized securities brokers and the strong opposition of the industry it insists on substantially increasing the stamp duty on stock transfers by 30 %
我認為這不單會影響香港在國際金融市場的競爭力，站在"保就業"的角度來看，這簡直是背後捅刀，打擊一群"保就業"有功的證券企業，實在令人心寒。
In my view this will not only affect Hong Kongs competitiveness in the international financial market . From the perspective of safeguarding jobs this is simply a stab in the back dealing a blow to a group of securities enterprises which have been instrumental in safeguarding jobs . It is indeed disenchanting
在此，我再次提醒政府，本地中小券商在零佣金的惡性競爭下，經營已經非常困難，近年交回交易牌照的中小券商亦有增無減。
Here I would like to remind the Government again that under vicious competition arising from zero commission local small and medium - sized securities brokers are already operating with great difficulties and the number of small and medium - sized securities brokers which have surrendered their trading licences has been increasing in recent years
政府一意孤行，大幅增加印花稅，必會打擊投資者的意欲，令本地中小型券商的經營雪上加霜，甚至會掀起新一波結業潮，危害16萬名金融從業員的"飯碗"。
The Governments arbitrary insistence on substantially increasing the stamp duty will definitely dampen peoples interest in investment thus making the operation of local small and medium - sized securities brokers even more difficult . It may even trigger a new wave of closure jeopardizing the rice bowls of 160 000 practitioners in the financial sector
屆時，不論政府如何亡羊補牢以支援失業及就業不足人士，仍會得不償失。
By then no matter how the Government mends the fold to support the unemployed and underemployed the loss will still outweigh the gain
易志明議員，你有甚麼問題？
Mr Frankie YICK what is your point of order?
對於以填海增加興建房屋的土地，自由黨並不反對，特別是香港山多平地少，可供發展的土地不多。
The Liberal Party does not object to providing additional land for housing construction by reclamation . In particular there is limited flat land in Hong Kong due to its hilly terrain hence not much land is available for development
香港以往的發展有賴多年來透過填海增加可發展的土地，但隨着《保護海港條例》在1997年實施，新增的填海面積已經由1984年至2000年間的3,090公頃，大幅下滑到2000年至2019年的791公頃，令香港可發展的土地大大減少。
The development of Hong Kong in the past has relied on increasing the land available for development through reclamation over the years . Yet subsequent to the implementation of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance in 1997 the additional area of land formed by reclamation has dropped considerably from 3 090 hectares between 1984 and 2000 to 791 hectares between 2000 and 2019 . The land available for development in Hong Kong has greatly reduced
根據《條例》，除非有迫切性、具充分理由及有即時需要，以及沒有其他切實可行的選擇，並對海港造成低損害，才能夠在海港範圍內填海。
According to the Ordinance reclamation can be carried out in the harbour only if there is a compelling overriding and present need; there is no viable alternative; and there would be minimum impairment to the harbour
自由黨認同維多利亞港是香港珍貴的天然資源，應該好好保護及保存，但《條例》確實非常"辣"，堪稱填海的"緊箍咒"。
The Liberal Party agrees that the Victoria Harbour is a precious natural resource of Hong Kong which should be well protected and preserved . That said the Ordinance is indeed very stringent and it can be said that it is an inhibiting magic spell on reclamation
為抓緊郵輪旅遊市場，政府斥資82億元興建啟德郵輪碼頭，但自2013年碼頭啟用以來，由於其位置偏遠，接駁交通配套不足，早期只有一條專線小巴提供服務，影響人流。
The Government constructed the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal KTCT at a cost of 8.2 billion in a bid to seize the cruise tourism market . However since KTCT was commissioned in 2013 the flow of people was undermined due to its remote location and inadequate ancillary transport facilities as there was only one green minibus route providing services at the very beginning
現時除一條專線小巴外，還有兩條常規及一條假日行走郵輪碼頭的巴士線。
At present apart from one green minibus route there are two regular bus routes and one holiday bus route serving KTCT
雖然有郵輪靠泊時，碼頭會額外安排接駁巴士及的士疏導人群，但由於郵輪的乘客數以千計，有限的交通服務難以在短時間內疏導乘客，旅客還是需要輪候多時。
Whilst the operator of KTCT will arrange additional shuttle buses and taxis to disperse the crowd during ship call days the limited transport services can hardly disperse the passengers in a short time since a cruise ship carries thousands of passengers on board and the passengers still have to wait for a long time
為紓緩啟德郵輪碼頭交通配套不足的問題，我曾經向旅遊事務署建議在碼頭前端放置一個登岸浮躉，以便提供渡輪服務，加強郵輪碼頭的交通服務，增加郵輪碼頭的人流。
To ameliorate the inadequacy of ancillary transport facilities at KTCT I have proposed to the Tourism Commission that a pontoon should be moored to the apron of KTCT to facilitate the provision of ferry services so as to strengthen the transport services of KTCT and increase the flow of people thereat
因此，自由黨對於適度檢討《條例》並不反對，如果在維港以內有需要填海，而又不會對維港海岸線造成影響，尤其是不會進一步收窄維港兩岸的距離，我們認為可以考慮。
Therefore the Liberal Party does not object to the appropriate review of the Ordinance . If there is a need to carry out reclamation in the Victoria Harbour we think that it can be put into consideration as long as it will not affect the shoreline of the Victoria Harbour particularly if it will not further narrow the distance between the two sides of the Victoria Harbour
不過，如果修訂《條例》只是針對觀塘避風塘，我們便認為在決定改變其用途前，政府必須先提供一個有足夠泊位的替代避風塘，因為颱風襲港時，避風塘對於保障海上作業者的生命和財產至為重要。
However if the amendment of the Ordinance merely targets the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter we believe that the Government must first provide a replacement typhoon shelter with sufficient berthing spaces before deciding to alter its use . It is because when Hong Kong is hit by a typhoon typhoon shelters are vital to protecting the lives and properties of marine workers
香港受地理環境所限，並不是任何一個海岸都適合建成避風塘。
Due to the geographical constraints of Hong Kong not all shores are suitable for the development of typhoon shelters
位於維港內的觀塘避風塘不單位置方便，還有四面環山的自然屏障保護，是較受歡迎的避風塘，使用率高達八成。
Locating in the Victoria Harbour the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter not only has a convenient location but it is also protected by natural barriers as it is surrounded by hills on all sides making it a more popular typhoon shelter with a utilization rate as high as 80 %
事實上，政府為推動九龍東及啟德的經濟活動，先後建議在觀塘避風塘打造國際級的水上活動中心，以及在觀塘避風塘入口處興建跨海高架單軌環保連接系統。
In fact the Government has proposed to build a world - class water sports centre at the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter and to construct an elevated monorail Environmentally Friendly Linkage System across the sea at the entrance of the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter with a view to fostering the economic activities in Kowloon East and Kai Tak
對於這些建議，我已在不同場合多次強調，政府必須先確保海上作業者在惡劣天氣下或颱風襲港時能在無障礙下進入避風塘避險。
Regarding these proposals I have repeatedly emphasized on various occasions that the Government must first ensure that marine workers can enter the typhoon shelter without any obstacles to protect themselves from danger under inclement weather conditions or when a typhoon hits Hong Kong
就原建議在觀塘避風塘入口興建一條21米高的跨海連接橋的計劃，由於橋高不足以讓平均達40至50米高的高桅杆船隻進入觀塘避風塘避險，因此我當時建議一則把連接橋的高度升高，二則連接橋的位置由避風塘入口處向內移，以減少對高桅杆躉船進入避風塘的影響。
With regard to the original proposal of constructing a cross - sea connecting bridge at 21 m above the sea level at the entrance of the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter since the bridge is not high enough to allow some high - mast vessels of an average height of 40 m to 50 m to enter the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter to protect themselves from danger I hence suggested back then that the height of the connecting bridge should be increased and the location of the connecting bridge should be moved inward from the entrance of the typhoon shelter so as to reduce the impact on the high - mast vessels entering the typhoon shelter
不過，發展局局長已經在1月表示在技術上和財務上不可行，擱置計劃，改為以電動巴士及小巴、自動行人天橋等作為區內的運輸連接系統。
Yet the Secretary for Development already indicated in January that the proposal would be shelved since it was not viable technically and financially . Instead electric buses and minibuses as well as a travellators network etc . will serve as the transport linkage system of the district
自由黨希望這些多元化的交通網絡在配合啟德發展區的發展，以及相關道路網絡工程的同時，盡量伸延至啟德郵輪碼頭，以達致帶動九龍東的經濟活動及改善啟德郵輪碼頭人流的目的。
The Liberal Party hopes that these diversified transport networks while supplementing the development of the Kai Tak Development Area and the related road network projects can also be extended to KTCT as far as practicable in order to achieve the objective of boosting the economic activities of Kowloon East and improving the flow of people visiting KTCT
政府一直表示，從數字上看，現時香港水域內的避風塘、遮蔽碇泊處及其他碇泊設施的總供應面積足以滿足本地領牌船隻停泊，但在14個刊憲的避風塘中，有些避風塘後勤設施不足及位置偏遠，導致使用率一直偏低，如喜靈洲避風塘。
The Government always claims that according to the figures the existing supply of space in the typhoon shelters the sheltered anchorages and other anchorage facilities in Hong Kong waters can meet the demand of locally licensed vessels . Yet among the 14 gazetted typhoon shelters some of them have been under - utilized due to inadequate back - up facilities and remote locations such as the Hei Ling Chau Typhoon Shelter
在惡劣天氣下，工作躉船由九龍東拖航至喜靈洲避風塘，大約需要5至7小時，加上風浪大，增加危險性，最終令海上作業者對喜靈洲避風塘敬而遠之。
It takes five to seven hours to tow a work barge from Kowloon East to the Hei Ling Chau Typhoon Shelter under inclement weather conditions . This coupled with strong wind and waves has increased the level of danger which has eventually deterred marine workers from using it . In addition there are restrictions on vessel length when using the typhoon shelters
另外，避風塘的使用有長度的限制，如銅鑼灣避風塘，超過30.4米的船隻就不可以進入，而觀塘避風塘則讓不超過50米的船隻進入。
For instance vessels longer than 30.4 m are not allowed to enter the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter whereas the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter only allows vessels under 50 m in length to enter
所以，不能夠單憑數字而斷定是否有足夠的避風塘泊位。
Therefore we cannot judge whether there are sufficient berthing spaces at typhoon shelters by simply looking at their numbers
主席，近年遊艇數目不斷增加，遊艇泊位供不應求，以往只有在颱風襲港時才會有船隻進入避風塘停泊，但正如剛才謝偉俊議員所說，近年避風塘已經成為私人遊艇的泊位處，數目更持續增加，導致避風塘可供工作船停泊的泊位不斷減少。
President the number of yachts has been growing in recent years but berthing spaces for yachts are in short supply . In the past vessels only berthed at typhoon shelters when a typhoon hit Hong Kong . However as remarked by Mr Paul TSE just now typhoon shelters have become the berthing sites of private yachts in recent years and the number of such yachts has been on the rise thereby leading to the continuous decrease in the number of berthing spaces available for work vessels at typhoon shelters
在2018年超強颱風"山竹"襲港時，便有船隻因未能進入避風塘停泊而導致擱淺、傾側甚至翻沉。
When super typhoon Mangkhut hit Hong Kong in 2018 some vessels were stranded listed or even capsized for they were unable to berth at typhoon shelters
由於氣候變化，估計未來的颱風強度只會不斷增加，避風塘是為了確保海上從業員能夠抵禦颱風及惡劣天氣襲港，如果沒有足夠的避風塘泊位供各類船隻在颱風及超級颱風襲港時停泊，將會危及船隻和海上作業者的安全。
Due to climate changes it is expected that the intensity of typhoons will only keep increasing in the future . Typhoon shelters are constructed to ensure that marine workers can protect themselves when typhoons and severe weather conditions affect Hong Kong . The safety of vessels and marine workers will be threatened if there are insufficient berthing spaces at typhoon shelters for various types of vessels to berth when typhoons and super typhoons hit Hong Kong
為紓緩船隻泊位不足的問題，海事處已在喜靈洲避風塘設立新的私人繫泊設備區，以及在觀塘避風塘內指定約15公頃的水域，專供非遊樂船隻繫泊，但仍然未能滿足市場的泊位需求。
In order to alleviate the shortage of vessel berthing spaces the Marine Department has set up a new private mooring area at the Hei Ling Chau Typhoon Shelter and designated 15 hectares of space for the exclusive mooring of non - pleasure vessels in the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter . Despite these efforts it still fails to meet the market demand for berthing spaces
主席，房屋需求殷切，公屋申請宗數由2010年的145,000宗飆升至2020年的253,000宗，輪候時間更由2年升至5.7年，情況十分不理想。
President there is a strong demand for housing . The number of applications for public rental housing has soared from 145 000 cases in 2010 to 253 000 cases in 2020 and the waiting time has even increased from 2 years to 5.7 years
房屋供應不足，樓價高企，很多青年人的置業夢遙不可及，應運而生的"劏房"亦衍生不同的社會問題。
The situation is far from satisfactory . With the shortage of housing supply and exorbitant property prices many young people find it impossible to realize their aspirations for home ownership . Subdivided units which emerge as a consequence have also led to different social problems
雖然政府已經覓得330公頃的土地來興建31萬個公營房屋單位，足以滿足未來10年的公營房屋單位需求，但住屋是市民在衣食住行中最重要的一環，因此政府有必要繼續覓地建屋，為未來做好準備。
Although the Government has identified 330 hectares of land to construct 310 000 public housing units which will be sufficient to meet the demand for public housing units in the next decade housing is the most important aspect among peoples basic needs for clothing food housing and transport . Therefore the Government must continue to identify land for housing construction so as to prepare for the future
自由黨支持政府繼續透過多管齊下的方法增加土地儲備，包括進行"明日大嶼"的填海工程研究。
The Liberal Party supports the Government to continue to adopt a multi - pronged approach to increase land reserves including conducting a study on the reclamation projects of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision
至於觀塘避風塘填海作發展，先決條件是政府必須提供切合海上作業者需要的替代避風塘設施，以確保他們的生命和財產安全。
As regards carrying out reclamation at the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter for the sake of development the prerequisite is that the Government must provide replacement typhoon shelter facilities which can meet the needs of marine workers to ensure the safety of their lives and properties
因此，我希望議員支持我的修正案。
As such I hope Honourable Members will support my amendment
概括而言，自由黨對於適度修訂《條例》是支持的，而應否在觀塘避風塘位置填海則視乎議會的傾向，我們沒有特別的意見。
To sum up the Liberal Party supports the appropriate amendment of the Ordinance . As to whether reclamation works should be carried out at the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter it depends on the disposition of the legislature as we do not have any specific views
但是，有一點很重要，即如果決定要進行，必須提供替代的避風塘。
Nevertheless it is vitally important that a replacement typhoon shelter must be provided if it is decided that we shall proceed with the reclamation works
儘管局長已經多次作答，並表示他好像變成了"人肉錄音機"，但多次回答是否便等於問題已獲解決，是否表示已訂好政策呢？
Though the Secretary has made repeated replies and likened himself to a human recording machine do these repeated replies mean that the problems have been solved and policies have been formulated?
在議會內，大家也說要"救失業"、"保就業"及提供"短期失業援助"，基本上，這3件事情便是議會內的最大共識，但局長卻一直不太願意去做，只是一直說："幫緊你，幫緊你"。
In the legislature Members are calling for saving the unemployed retaining employment and providing short - term unemployment assistance and these three things are basically the major consensus of the legislature . Yet the Secretary has all along been reluctant to implement these measures . He keeps saying that Im helping you Im helping you
如果可以"幫到你"，失業率就不會上升到7.2%了，如果真的"幫到你"，就不會有26萬人失業了。
Had these measures been helpful the unemployment rate would not have surged up to 7.2 % . Had these measures been truly helpful the 260 000 people would not have become unemployed
因此，對於局長一直指這些已可幫助市民，我不太認同，就讓我們一起看看局長所說的兩招是否真的可以幫助市民。
Hence I do not quite agree with the Secretarys repeated remarks that these measures can help the public . Let us see whether the two measures mentioned by the Secretary can really help the public
第一，"保就業"計劃能否真正幫助"打工仔"呢？
First can ESS help the wage earners?
我記得在議事堂內，有不少同事包括我亦曾指出，當第一期及第二期"保就業"計劃結束後，將會有很多中小型企業倒閉，因為它們根本捱不下去，而事實也證明的確是這樣。
I remember that in this Chamber many colleagues including myself have pointed out that upon the completion of the first and second tranche of ESS many small and medium enterprises SMEs will close down for they can hardly survive and this has indeed proved to be the case now
中小企方面我沒有例子，但大家熟悉的UA院線，正正是在申領兩期"保就業"計劃後，在早陣子宣布結業，共有281名員工即時失業。
I do not have any examples about SMEs . Yet UA Cinema which Members are familiar with announced its closure some time ago right after receiving the two tranches of ESS and had left 281 staff members unemployed immediately
儘管投放那麼多公帑在"保就業"計劃，但在兩期計劃結束後，結果還是有近300人投入失業大軍，這怎能說"保就業"計劃能完全解決香港的失業問題呢？
Despite the large amount of public money allocated to ESS nearly 300 people still lost their job upon the completion of the two tranches of ESS . How can he say that ESS can completely resolve the unemployment problem in Hong Kong?
換言之，很多企業現時也捱不住，所以"保就業"計劃似乎已被廢武功。
In other words many enterprises are unable to survive so it seems that ESS has failed to serve its function
在3次調查當中，有七成至八成人表示從沒打算申請政府的失業綜援計劃，而即使是有申請的約一成人，他們也說計劃對他們並沒有實質幫助，這便是一些具體的調查數字。
In the three surveys 70 % to 80 % of the respondents indicated that they had never considered applying for the unemployment assistance under CSSA offered by the Government . Even for the some 10 % of the respondents who have applied for assistance they said the scheme did not provide them with any substantial assistance . These are the specific figures from the surveys
