事實上，《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》已經提出要支持粵港合作開發跨境汽車保險和醫療保險、推動保險產品跨境交易、支持跨境人民幣再保險業務、支持發展國際航運保險交易平台等，都令保險界非常興奮。
In fact the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area has already proposed the following supporting joint development in Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao of cross - boundary motor vehicle insurance and medical insurance; promoting cross - boundary transactions of insurance products; supporting cross - boundary Renminbi reinsurance business; and supporting the development of a trading platform for international marine insurance . All these are exciting initiatives to the insurance sector
不過，業界亦明白開拓跨境業務絕非一朝一夕就可以辦到，業界會摸着石頭過河，現時希望先推動在大灣區開設保險售後服務中心及"醫保通"計劃。
However the sector also understands that we cannot finish exploring cross - boundary business in one day . The sector will cross the river by groping the stones . We hope to first set up insurance after - sale service centres and implement a Health Insurance Connect scheme in the Greater Bay Area
我已經多次向政府反映，希望政府能夠向內地相關部門爭取。
I have relayed my views to the Government time and again . I hope that the Government will liaise with the relevant departments on the Mainland
長遠而言，我希望大灣區的跨境保險業務可以百花齊放、做大做強。
In the long run I hope to see the diversification expansion and enhancement of cross - boundary insurance business in the Greater Bay Area
大灣區可以成為首個試點，運作成功後，可以逐步擴展到其他省份。
The Greater Bay Area can serve as the first pilot point . Following its success the proposal can be further implemented in other provinces
目前構思中的售後服務中心，可以為國內客戶提供查詢、更改住址、申報、提交索償等服務，為客戶帶來便利。
The proposed after - sale service centres will provide Mainland customers with services such as inquiries change of address declaration and submission of claims thus bringing convenience to customers
此外，業界亦正努力爭取在大灣區推行"醫保通"計劃，透過電子平台向大灣區居民銷售香港的醫保產品，運作模式可參考港股通的現行做法。
In addition the sector is also striving to implement a Health Insurance Connect scheme in the Greater Bay Area to sell Hong Kong insurance products to residents in the Greater Bay Area through electronic platforms . Its mode of operation can be modelled on that of the Stock Connect programme of Hong Kong
主席，香港早已失去國際保險中心的地位，不少國際再保險公司及國際經紀人公司均先後將其地區總部遷往新加坡。
President Hong Kong has long lost its status as an international insurance centre . Many international reinsurance companies and international brokerage firms have relocated their regional headquarters to Singapore one after another
業界樂見政府積極重建香港保險業樞紐的地位，但希望政府可以投入更多資源，先為業界找到足夠的人才，我們發展國際業務才會成功。
The sector is pleased to see that the Government is making active efforts to regain Hong Kongs status as an insurance hub but we hope that the Government can commit more resources in this respect . Sufficient talents must be identified for the sector before we can succeed in developing international business
所以，特區政府應該協助業界，吸引國際人才來港，最有效的方法就是吸引國際大型保險經紀公司來港設立地區總部，由這些公司帶動國際專才來港。
For this reason the SAR Government should assist the sector in attracting international talents to come to Hong Kong . The most effective way is to attract large international insurance brokerage firms to establish regional headquarters in Hong Kong and these firms will bring international professionals here
此外，長遠而言，我建議成立保險學院，除了可以培養通曉國際業務的人才，更可以為本地業務培訓專才，令保險業得以持續發展，亦為本港青年人提供更多優質工作機會。
Moreover I propose that an insurance institute be established in the long run . This will not only nurture talents who are well versed in international business but also train professionals for local business to maintain the sustainable development of the insurance sector and provide young people in Hong Kong with more quality job opportunities
代理主席，財政司司長在公布財政預算案前，提出今年會以"撐企業"、"穩經濟"為大方向，令自由黨和中小型企業一度寄予厚望，但我們最終只看到數項即時支援措施，例如寬減利得稅、差餉和商業登記費。
Deputy President the Financial Secretary has posed high hopes among the Liberal Party and small and medium - sized enterprises SMEs when he announced before the delivery of the Budget that the general directions of this years Budget would be to support enterprises and stabilize the economy . However we end up receiving several immediate support measures only such as reductions in profits tax rates and business registration fees
老實說，正當外圍經濟環境不明朗之際，這些措施實不足以為中小企解燃眉之急，與自由黨的期望有很大落差。
Frankly speaking these measures are grossly insufficient to address the pressing challenges facing SMEs under the external economic environment at present and they deviate significantly from the Liberal Partys expectations
飲食界大多數都是中小微企，他們一直認為最直接有效的幫助，就是寬免食肆、小販，以及受限制食物售賣許可證的牌照費用，但今年與去年我們同樣希望落空，實在使人失望。
The catering industry comprises mostly SMEs and micro businesses . For these companies the most direct and effective assistance is a waiver of licence fees for restaurants and hawkers and fees for restricted food permits . Such hopes however have been belied to our disappointment this year like the last years
不過，自由黨認為預算案提出的大部分建議都方向正確，回應了我們的訴求，特別是增撥4億元經常性資助擴闊藥物名冊，減輕市民，包括中產的財政負擔。
Nonetheless the Liberal Party considers that most of the proposals put forward in the Budget are geared in the right direction and they are made in response to our demands . In particular an additional recurrent subvention of 400 million will be provided to expand the scope of the Drug Formulary to reduce the financial burden of the general public including that on the middle class
可是，自由黨依然聽到許多聲音，指出雖然增加了資金，但審批進度卻仍然緩慢。
That said the Liberal Party has still heard a lot of voices saying that the vetting process is slow despite the additional funds
我已多次指出，醫院管理局的藥物審批程序過於繁複冗長，新藥由註冊到可供病人使用需時長達23個月至40個月不等，故有必要盡快改善。
I have pointed out repeatedly that the Hospital Authoritys HA drug approval process is too complex and time - consuming . For a new drug it takes as long as 23 to 40 months from registration to administration by patients . That is why the process needs to be improved expeditiously
事實上，錢解決不到所有問題。
As a matter of fact money is not necessarily a panacea
過去一個月，醫管局不同醫護和支援職系人員紛紛要求加薪，改善待遇，但怎樣加薪，他們的待遇也難與私人市場競爭，因為試問在薪酬調整後，他們的工作時間可以減少嗎？
Over the past month staff of HA in the health care and supporting grades have demanded pay rise and improvement in fringe benefits . Such increases however can never make their pay comparable to that of the private sector
病人的輪候診治時間又可以縮短嗎？
Can the salary adjustment reduce their working hours and the patients waiting time for treatment?
自由黨一直支持加強公私營合作，呼籲醫管局擴大協作範圍，從而減輕公營醫療系統的壓力，加快治療病人。
The Liberal Party has supported enhancing private - public partnership all along and has called on HA to expand the scope of cooperation to ease the pressure on the public health care system and speed up patient treatment
豈料，醫管局行政總裁梁柏賢在上周回應我時，竟說擔心加強合作後，會令更多專科醫生流 失，因而影響醫管局培訓專科醫生。
To our surprise Dr LEUNG Pak - yin Chief Executive of HA said in his reply last week that he was concerned that enhanced cooperation might lead to an even higher turnover of specialists thus affecting HAs training of specialists
在本月初，香港醫務委員會否決放寬本地培訓專科醫生實習要求的方案，正正反映出本地醫學界保護主義強烈，即使非常保守的放寬海外人才方案，也未能通過。
Early this month the Medical Council of Hong Kong MCHK voted down the proposal to relax internship requirements for the training of local specialists . It reflects precisely the strong protectionism in the local medical community which negatived even the extremely conservative proposal to relax the admission of overseas talents
自由黨早前已力促政府主動參考新加坡的做法，為海外醫生設立認可受訓機構名單，讓名單上畢業的醫科生可免試到本港公立醫院工作。
Earlier on the Liberal Party has urged the Government to take the initiative to follow Singapores steps in drawing up a list of recognized training institutes for overseas doctors and allowing medical graduates from recognized institutes to practice in Hong Kongs public hospitals without having to go through the licensing exam
在人口老化及大灣區"1小時生活圈"帶動下，香港私家醫院已不斷擴充，搶走了不少公立醫院醫生，令公營醫療系統更加不勝負荷。
The ageing population and the one - hour living circle of the Greater Bay Area have led to continuous expansion of Hong Kongs private hospitals . They have snatched doctors from their public counterparts which has further overstretched the public health care system
代理主席，我們不單欠缺醫護人員，其實很多行業亦正面對同樣問題。
Deputy President we face shortage not only in health care personnel; in fact the same problem is faced by different sectors
"財爺"無疑在今年的預算案中改善了多方面的硬件問題，但光有硬件而沒有足夠軟件，也是無補於事的。
While the Financial Secretary has undoubtedly put forward improvements in this years Budget for a number of hardware issues hardware alone will not be of much help unless adequate software is provided
當局動用6億元翻新公廁，改善通風系統及引入先進設備，結果如何呢？
The Administration has spent 600 million on renovating public toilets with improved ventilation systems and advanced facilities . What is the outcome?
最終是沒有足夠的清潔工人清理廁所。
Eventually there is a lack of toilet cleaners
政府撥款200億元購置物業作為老人院等社福措施，也解決不了長期欠缺兩成護老人手的問題，因為本港居民大多數都不願從事這些厭惡性工種。
Another 200 million has been earmarked for social welfare measures including the acquisition of properties for elderly homes but such measures cannot help resolve the long - standing problem of 20 % shortage in carers for the elderly as most local workers are unwilling to take up obnoxious jobs
政府撥款2億元擴大了建造業學徒計劃後，也難以為建造業注入大量生力軍，因為香港大部分青年人無意入行，而很多父母寧願為子女交學費讓他們入讀專上院校，以期他們可投身於勞動力較低的行業。
Similarly the 200 million being allocated to expand the construction industry apprenticeship programme has not drawn a lot of new blood to the construction industry due to a lack of interest in the industry among most young people . Many parents would rather pay to send their children to tertiary institutions hoping that they can join less laborious industries
順帶一提，近日泛民朋友不斷"拉布"，令很多工程難以落實。
I would like to say in passing that various construction projects have recently encountered difficulties caused by our pan - democratic friends constant filibustering
因此，我想向財政司司長指出，請不要以為輸入勞工是政務司司長和勞工及福利局局長的政策範疇；剛剛相反，我認為這是與財政司司長最為相關，是他最應該插手的政策。
Therefore I would like to point this out to the Financial Secretary Please do not assume that labour importation is under the policy purview of the Chief Secretary for Administration and the Secretary for Labour and Welfare only . In my opinion it is just the other way round . This policy area is most relevant to the Financial Secretary and one that he should intervene with priority
因此，"財爺"沒理由不主動爭取，率領各政策局於各層面引入人才和輸入勞工。
There is therefore no reason why the Financial Secretary should not take the initiative to lead various bureaux in admitting talents and importing labour on all fronts
當然，有些同事會認為，我對政務司司長和勞工及福利局局長總是戴着有色眼鏡，我不排除同事有這種想法。
Admittedly some colleagues would think I am judging the Chief Secretary for Administration and Secretary for Labour and Welfare through tinted glasses and I am not dismissing the possibility of colleagues holding that view
代理主席，本會仍在討論有關都市固體廢物收費的立法框架，而許多同事已經發現執行細節大有問題，更預見非法棄置垃圾將非常嚴重，當局至今未能令議員有信心可以解決這個問題。
Deputy President the legal framework for municipal solid waste charging is still under discussion . Many colleagues have found serious problems in the implementation details and they could foresee that illegal littering will become a very serious issue . So far the Administration has failed to convince Members that the problem can be solved
問題是，當局過往數十年來一直以為徵費便可解決問題，難怪香港減廢措施原地踏步。
The issue is that over the past few decades the Administration has all along believed that the problem could not be solved by implementing a levy . It is no wonder that Hong Kong is making no headway in waste reduction measures
正確而言，環保政策在香港從來未開始過，真正的政策是應該透過誘因和教育，引導市民改變行為。
To put it correctly no environmental policy has even been started in Hong Kong . A proper policy should be guiding the public to change their behaviour through incentives and education
大家試想想，要市民將一些無用的膠樽、玻璃樽或廢紙拿去回收，有多困難？
I would like Members to consider this Is it difficult be to have the public take useless plastic bottles glass containers and waste paper to recycle?
如果有錢收，他們更加會願意拿去回收。
They would be more willing to recycle if they get paid for it
對市民來說，最重要的就是回收地點方便，垃圾站若設於住宅樓下便更好。
What matters most to the people is a convenient recycling location and even better would be a refuse collection point just downstairs from home
只要加上一些誘因，例如儲夠某數量便可以換領食物券、扣稅券或一張20元紙幣，何樂而不為？
If additional incentives are provided―such as food coupons tax deduction coupons or a 20 banknote in exchange for a certain amount of recyclables―they would only be more than happy to do so!
我已經多次說過，當局必須先做好教育及回收配套工作，加強誘因，鼓勵市民減廢。
As I have said time and again the Administration should make it a priority to step up education efforts and complementary measures on recycling and provide stronger incentives to encourage waste reduction
面對複雜的環保議題，我們必須摒棄以往落伍的規管思維，採用創新及共贏的方案。
When facing a complicated environmental issue we must discard the old and backward mindset in planning and adopt an innovative win - win solution
至於當局為垃圾徵費推行的收集工商業廚餘先導計劃，我作為業界代表當然歡迎。
On behalf of the industry I certainly welcome the Administrations pilot scheme for collection of food waste from commercial and industrial sources . The scheme is aimed at paving the way for waste disposal charging
但是，計劃主要涵蓋食物環境衞生署街市及房屋委員會商場。
However the scope of the scheme will primarily cover wet markets managed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and shopping centres run by the Housing Authority
我認為，為了準確評估食肆處理廚餘回收時面對的實際困難，先導計劃應該擴展至一般食肆商戶，尤其在食肆較密集的地區試行，例如尖沙咀、旺角、銅鑼灣、灣仔等，這樣才有助制訂更有效的改善方法，為未來在全港推行工商業廚餘回收提供適切的配套。
In my opinion in order to accurately assess the practical difficulties that restaurants encounter in recycling food waste the pilot scheme should be expanded to cover restaurants and stores in general especially those in districts with a lot of restaurants such as Tsim Sha Tsui Mong Kok Causeway Bay and Wan Chai . This will help formulate more efficient improvement measures and suitable complementary measures to assist the community - wide implementation of food waste recycling from commercial and industrial sources
代理主席，近年社會開始討論"減塑"的議題。
Deputy President the community has started talking about reducing plastic consumption in recent years
在我牽頭下，業界已經主動與政府合作，推出"減塑"鼓勵計劃，鼓勵外賣顧客減用塑膠餐具，預期第二輪將有更多食肆參加。
The industry under my lead has taken the initiative to work with the Government to launch an incentive scheme for reducing plastic consumptions by encouraging takeaway customers to opt out of plastic tableware . We expect to see more restaurants joining the second round of the scheme
但長遠而言，香港需要引入或研發可循環再造及不損害環境的塑膠替代品，鼓勵業界及市民使用。
In the long run however Hong Kong will need to introduce or redevelop a recyclable plastic substitute that will not contaminate the environment and encourage the industry and the public to use the product
有業界已經反映，他們雖然也想改用環保餐具，但成本不輕，希望政府可以提供資助，例如參考科技券的做法，資助他們購買環保餐具。
Some people in the industry say that while they want to replace the not so eco - friendly utensils with greener choices the cost in doing so is not at all cheap . They hope the Government will provide a subsidy similar to technology vouchers for the purchase of eco - friendly utensils
代理主席，雖然預算案沒有提及空置稅，我亦想藉此機會指出，空置稅無助釋放一手樓供應，反會令發展商把空置稅所衍生的成本轉嫁予買家，甚至使一手樓價上升或會帶動二手樓價上揚，最終造成整體樓價向上的惡性循環，令真正用家更難置業。
Deputy President while the Budget has made no mention of the vacancy tax I would like to take this opportunity to point out that this tax will not help free up supply of first - hand properties . On the contrary it will result in developers passing the costs from the vacancy tax onto the buyers . This can further lead to price rise in first - hand and second - hand properties and a vicious cycle of ever - increasing housing prices that will make home ownership even harder for real home buyers
事實上，自政府提出空置稅後，已引起發展商的戒心，令他們的投地意欲及投資預算更趨保守，最終只會導致私樓供應量更少。
In fact the Governments proposal of the vacancy tax has already raised wariness among developers dampening their interests and budgets in land acquisition . In the end this will only cause another drop in the supply of private housing
代理主席，與其藥石亂投，不如加快開展"明日大嶼"的相關項目，為香港開拓更多土地。
Deputy President rather than making wasteful efforts it would be better to speed up the commencement of the projects under the Lantau Tomorrow Vision in order to create more land for Hong Kong
當局資料已經顯示，公屋建屋量在2022-2023年度將插水式下跌。
According to the information from the Government public rental housing production will take a nosedive in 2022 - 2023
此外，2023年核心商業區甲級寫字樓將欠缺約40萬平方米總樓面面積，至2041年更將欠缺約100萬平方米總樓面面積，當中並未計及大灣區等各種最新發展，亦未計及為支持香港較長期的持續經濟增長所需的土地。
Furthermore there will be a shortage of about 400 000 sq m and 1 million sq m of gross floor area for Grade A office space in core business districts by 2023 and 2041 respectively . The figures do not however take into account the new developments in the Greater Bay Area and the land necessary to sustain Hong Kongs economic growth in the long run
鑒於供不應求的情況非常嚴重，當局必須向市民解釋清楚現實情況，讓他們明白本港急需"明日大嶼"這類大型規劃發展項目，從而爭取支持，加快落實進程。
Given the severe scarcity in land provision the Government should clearly explain to the public the reality of the situation and help them realize Hong Kongs desperate need of large - scale developments such as the Lantau Tomorrow Vision so as to solicit public support for expediting the implementation of the plan
代理主席，在教育方面，自由黨支持加強職業專才教育。
Deputy President with regard to education the Liberal Party supports the strengthening of professional training
不過，雖然專業界別課程資助計劃學額將由2018-2019學年的2,776個增至2019-2020學年的3,236個，但2018-2019學年的資助學額尚未用盡，還有近1,000個未使用，希望當局可以研究一下箇中原因：是學費太貴，資助額不夠吸引力，還是宣傳不足，以致沒有符合資格的學生申 請有關資助？
While the number of subsidized places provided by the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated ProfessionsSectors will be increased from 2 776 in the 2018 - 2019 academic year to 3 236 by the academic year 2019 - 2020 that will still leave almost 1 000 subsidized places for the academic year 2018 - 2019 unused . I hope that the Administration can look into the reason behind . Are the tuition fees too expensive?
最後，我差不多每年都會提到幼稚園教育。
Lastly kindergarten education is a topic that I talk about almost every year
自由黨一直認為，免費優質幼稚園教育政策有缺憾，不獲資助的私立獨立幼稚園亦將向兩極化發展，部分會逐漸被淘汰，其他則會提高學費，以提高辦學質素。
The Liberal Party has always held the view that there are imperfections in the policy of free quality kindergarten education . Non - subsidized private independent kindergartens are becoming more polarized as some are being phased out while others are charging increasingly higher fees to enhance their quality in teaching
因此，我促請當局於本年年中檢討免費幼稚園計劃時，應納入自由黨多年來的建議，為中產家長引入學前教育學券，資助他們的年幼子女就讀私立獨立幼稚園，不要剝削他們的選擇權。
In view of this I urge the Administration to adopt the Liberal Partys recommendations in its mid - year review of the Free Quality Kindergarten Education Scheme which includes subsidizing middle - class parents with pre - school education vouchers for them to send their young children to private independent kindergartens . Please do not deprive them of the right to make choices
主席，這次是我加入立法會後，第二次就撥款法案，即財政預算案發言。
President this is the second time I speak on the Appropriation Bill ie . the Budget since I joined the Legislative Council
財政司司長最新一份預算案的盈餘較去年減少，而"財爺"今年也"減甜"。
The latest Budget of the Financial Secretary has a smaller surplus than that of last year while he also hands out fewer candies this year
然而，大家也知道，我們的財政儲備其實較去年有所增加，預計會達到11,616億元，但今年很多利民紓困措施的力度也減少了。
Nevertheless everyone knows that our fiscal reserve has actually increased when compared with last years which is expected to reach 1,161.6 billion . However the strength of many measures to relieve peoples burdens are reduced this year
不過，整體而言，我個人仍歡迎這份預算案，因為我知道司長在預算案中下了不少工夫，就不同的社會問題提出新的處理方式，例如投放200億元購買60項物業，用作幼兒中心和長者鄰舍中心等社會服務，以及吸納了我們的建議，撥款20億元支持興建過渡性房屋，並撥款6億元翻新公廁等。
Nevertheless I still welcome this Budget in general because I know that the Financial Secretary has put plenty of efforts in it with new options proposed for different social problems . For example 20 billion is allocated for the purchase of 60 properties for providing social services such as day childcare centres and neighbourhood elderly centres; and on our proposal 2 billion is allocated to support the construction of transitional housing and 600 million to refurbish public toilets
可是，對於一些中長期措施和建議，例如我們要求恆常增加長者醫療券金額、恆常代繳DSE費用等，"財爺"則表示有所保留，令我感到有些失望。
However as for some medium - and long - term measures and proposals such as our request for increasing the amount of Elderly Health Care Voucher and paying DSE examination fees for candidates on a regular basis the Financial Secretary expresses his reservation . I am somewhat disappointed
我期望局方繼續聆聽意見，認真研究，希望中長期措施方面會有更多進展。
I expect the Bureau to keep listening to opinions for serious consideration hoping that more progress in respect of medium - and long - term measures can be made
主席，以下發言我會就今年預算案的房屋規劃、交通泊車設施、市政衞生和教育等方面講述自己的看法。
President in the following speech I will express my own perspectives on housing planning transport and parking facilities municipal services and health as well as education in the Budget this year
在預算案發表後，我曾多次舉行居民大會及擺設街站，蒐集了不少市民的意見，亦希望當局可以細心聆聽。
After the announcement of the Budget I have collated the views of many residents from the residents meetings and street booths I held and set up . I hope the authorities can listened to them in detail
其實，香港社會現時有兩個痛處，第一個肯定是房屋，第二個就是公營醫療。
In fact there are currently two sores with Hong Kong society the first one is housing for sure; and the second is public health care
在房屋規劃方面，我去年曾拿出一張房屋階梯圖表。
On housing planning I showed a chart of housing ladder last year
一年前，公共租住房屋輪候冊上有280,000戶，現時則是267,000戶，但一般申請者的輪候時間卻創了新高，需時5年半。
On the waiting list for public rental housing PRH there were 280 000 households one year ago; now there are 267 000 . However the waiting time for general applicants hits the new high of 5.5 years
我知道政府也很積極覓地建屋，包括提出現時討論中的"明日大嶼"計劃，又請市區重建局和香港房屋協會協力推出資助房屋等。
I know the Government is proactively looking for sites to build houses including its proposal of the Lantau Tomorrow plan which is currently under discussion and inviting the Urban Renewal Authority URA and the Hong Kong Housing Society HKHS to make joint efforts in launching subsidized housing
"財爺"在預算案提到未來5年的公營房屋建屋量，今年的數目少於去年。
The public housing production for the next five years mentioned by the Financial Secretary in this years Budget is less than that of last year
大家都期望政府可以提出更多中短期措施，例如加大力度推行過渡性房屋。
Everyone expects that the Government can put forward more medium - and short - term measures eg . strengthening its efforts in promoting the construction of transitional housing
就着過渡性房屋，我知道很多團體希望申請政府的閒置土地、臨時用地或空置校舍作此用途，但其實絕不是易事。
About transitional housing I know many organizations would like to apply for idle land temporary sites or vacant school premises of the Government for the purpose but this is never easy
就非政府組織申請空置校舍作過渡性房屋方面，我知道地政總署稍後會更新可作社區用途的空置校舍名單，因此我亦希望該部門可與教育局好好溝通，以便撥出更多空置校舍，供非政府組織使用。
In respect of application by non - governmental organizations for vacant school premises for transitional housing purpose I know that the Lands Department is going to update its list of vacant school premises available for community use . I also hope that the department can communicate well with the Education Bureau so that more vacant school premises can be allocated for use by non - governmental organizations
我早前在立法會亦提出加快推動過渡性房屋供應的議案，並得到跨黨派議員的支持通過。
Earlier on I also proposed a motion on expediting transitional housing supply in the Legislative Council which was passed with the support of Members from different political parties and groupings
雖然議案沒有約束力，但我希望要求政府在3年內提供不少於1萬個過渡性房屋單位，希望政府會朝着這目標行事。
Although the motion has no binding effect I wish to request the Government to provide no less than 10 000 transitional housing units within three years . I hope the Government will act towards this direction
主席，我留意到雖然近日樓價有所回落，但私樓價格與一般市民的購買力仍然有很大距離。
President I notice that despite the recent decline in property prices there is still a huge difference between the prices of private housing and the affordability of the general public
政府確實要採用多元化方式，增加公營和資助出售房屋的供應，照顧基層及邊緣中產市民。
The Government indeed has to adopt a diversified approach to increase public and subsidized housing supply to cater for the needs of the grass roots and marginal middle class
舉例而言，政府應再邀請市建局推出更多"港人首置上車盤"，以及請房協再推出資助出售房屋項目，原因是現時單靠香港房屋委員會每年出售約三四千個居者有其屋單位，是一定不足夠的。
For instance the Government should invite URA to launch more Starter Homes again and invite HKHS to launch subsidized sale flats projects again . It is definitely inadequate to rely solely on the Hong Kong Housing Authority HKHA for the current sale of some 3 000 to 4 000 units under the Home Ownership Scheme HOS every year
就如何開放房委會和房協轄下的資助出售單位，推行出租計劃以作過渡性房屋，我 希望政府加快公布更多詳細資料。
As for the means to open up subsidized sale flats under HKHA and HKHS for launching rental scheme as transitional housing I hope that the Government can announce more detailed information expeditiously
我希望大家一同繼續爭取。
I hope everyone can keep striving together
