機場三跑填海工程填海650公頃，涉及4,800萬元損失，作出賠償也是應該的。
The three - runway system project in the airport involves 650 hectares of reclamation and a loss of 48 million . Hence compensation should be made
主席，基於我之前的數個論點，我認為政府真是說到"一口泡"，如此簡單的技術性修訂也這樣自相矛盾、不兼容和政策上"打對台"。
President based on my previous arguments I think the Government is really doing a messy job . It has made such a simple technical amendment self - contradictory incompatible and inconsistent with the policy
究竟我們現在是擔心海洋資源受影響，希望做到永續漁業，幫助真正的漁民，保護他們的生計，還是這項政策根本是前後矛盾呢？
Are we really concerned about the impacts on marine resources hoping to achieve sustainable fisheries and protect fishermens livelihood? . Or is this policy simply inconsistent?
首先，多謝石禮謙議員持平地仗義執言。
First of all I thank Mr Abraham SHEK for speaking fairly to uphold justice
為了響應主席所說，我以下的發言內容應該沒有同事提及，亦不會重複，正因如此，我希望有更多同事聆聽到我這個嶄新的說法。
Heeding the advice of the Chairman I will only speak on issues that have not been mentioned by other Members and I will not repeat . For this purpose I would like more Members to listen to my new argument
主席，由於辯論時間所限，我在這一節只想談一談支援罕見疾病病人這項最能表露施政報告"一起同行、擁抱希望"主題的政策措施。
President given the time constraint of the debate in this session I wish to discuss the policies and measures to support patients with rare diseases which best manifest the theme of the Policy Address We connect for happiness
一再面對這些哀歌，建制派議員成立了"罕見病癌病關注組"，致力加上一把聲音，促請政府全方位支援罕見疾病患者，包括正視疾病、訂立疾病的官方定義及設立罕見疾病資料庫。
Such sad stories keep being told so Members from the pro - establishment camp set up a concern group for rare diseases and cancer which strives to add another voice to urge the Government to provide comprehensive support for patients with rare diseases including facing up to the diseases squarely drawing official definitions of such diseases and setting up a rare disease database
同時，政府也要設立專項性的快捷藥物引進機制，加快引入有效的罕見疾病及癌病藥物，亦要在經濟上作出適切支援，為罕見疾病和癌病患者及其家屬增設醫療費用免稅額等。
In the meantime the Government should set up a specific mechanism for rapid introduction of drugs to expedite introduction of efficacious drugs for rare diseases and cancer while providing appropriate financial support to offer tax allowance on medical expenses etc . for patients with rare diseases and cancer and their family members
所以，我們很歡迎政府在施政報告中積極回應這些訴求，承諾更密切跟進新藥物的科研實證結果，從而加快引進藥物，資助病人參與藥廠的恩恤用藥計劃，以及加快檢討病人藥費分擔機制。
Therefore we welcome the Governments positive responses to such aspirations in the Policy Address that undertake to closely follow up on the empirical results of scientific research of new drugs so as to expedite the introduction of drugs subsidize patients to participate in compassionate programmes on the use of drugs of pharmaceutical companies and expedite the review of the patients co - payment mechanism
主席，當然，這些也只是起步，但這一步是得來不易的。
President it certainly is just the first step which is hard to come by
罕見疾病俗稱"孤兒病"，患者在診斷、治療及支援方面一向缺乏照應，最大的希望就是外國的新藥。
Rare diseases are commonly known as orphan diseases the patients of which have used to receiving inadequate support in terms of diagnoses treatment and assistance . Their greatest hope is new drugs from overseas
可是，有關方面往往只是以本地臨床病例不足、藥效不明顯及未有足夠成本效益等為由，拒絕把新藥納入藥物名冊的資助範圍。
However the authorities concerned often refuse to include new drugs in the scope of subsidies of the Drug Formulary on the grounds of a lack of local clinical cases insignificant efficacy of drugs and low cost - effectiveness
所以，今屆政府在首份施政報告內，清晰宣告會加強支援不常見疾病病人，在思維上已有所突破。
Therefore it is a breakthrough in the mindset of the current - term Government which has clearly declared in its first Policy Address the strengthening of support to patients with uncommon diseases
我們期望政府本着新思維再加把勁，適切地在制度上全方位支援罕見疾病患者，讓他們的生命可以與其他市民同享發光發熱的機會。
We hope that the Government with this new mindset will devote more efforts to appropriately providing comprehensive support in the system for patients with rare diseases so that they can live a vibrant life just like other people
由此可見，香港的勞動人口嚴重不足。
It can thus be seen that Hong Kong will face a serious labour shortage
如果特區政府不立即作出長遠部署，我相信曾蔭權年代的房屋問題將會重現，即明知需要大量房屋，但政府卻停建，以致香港市民今天怨聲載道。
If the Special Administrative Region SAR Government fails to make any long - term planning at once I believe the housing problem in the Donald TSANG era will emerge again . By this I mean that the Government ceases housing construction despite its full awareness of the need for a large number of housing units thus causing grievances among Hong Kong people nowadays
不過，勞動力不足的問題比房屋問題嚴重，因為此問題現在已經發生。
But the problem of labour shortage is more serious than the housing problem because the former is here with us now
很多不同業務範疇的朋友均無法招聘員工，例如零售、飲食、運輸、建築、保安、清潔及護老等行業也表示無法招聘員工。
Many people in various types of business are unable to recruit workers . For example those engaged in such industries as retail catering transportation construction security services cleaning and elderly care have invariably said that they are unable to recruit workers
很多勞工界的朋友皆問這是否嚇人。
Many people in the labour sector wonder if they simply want to intimidate us
在新加坡的343萬勞動人口中，有115萬名外勞，當中不包括外傭。
In Singapore 1.15 million of the 3.43 million labour force are foreign workers exclusive of foreign domestic helpers
勞工團體認為，外勞越少，本地工人的收入會越高，因為水漲船高，工資自然有更大增幅。
Labour associations consider that with fewer foreign workers local workers will earn a higher income due to consequential wage increases . So their wages will naturally see a greater growth
工人薪酬增加的同時會帶來甚麼問題呢？
What are the problems associated with rising workers wages?
很多市民的收入不知不覺遭通脹蠶食，如果香港不引入外勞協助處理一些簡單工作的話，經濟是無法發展的。
The income of many people has been eroded by inflation without them noticing it . If Hong Kong refuses to import foreign workers to assist in undertaking some simple jobs it will be utterly impossible to develop the economy
試想象一下，如果今天沒有這34萬名外傭，香港會發生甚麼事呢？
Members can imagine what will happen to Hong Kong today without these 340 000 foreign domestic helpers
香港本身有很多優勢，經濟發展及治安皆很好，但住屋開支卻正如我剛才所說般太高昂，令很多朋友卻步。
Hong Kong enjoys a competitive edge in many areas and its economic development as well as law and order condition are both satisfactory . But as I said just now our housing expenses are too high thus deterring many people from coming to Hong Kong
特區政府需要多下工夫，想想如何在政策上作出配合，吸引更多專才來港。
The SAR Government needs to make more efforts and conceive complementary initiatives policy - wise so as to attract more professionals to Hong Kong
主席，由於房屋問題不屬於這個辯論環節，我會留待下一個辯論環節再談。
President as this debate session does not cover housing issues I will leave my discussion to the next debate session
現時很多年輕人別說生育，他們連結婚也不敢，原因就是樓價高昂，很多專業人士包括律師、醫生和會計師也不敢買樓。
Nowadays thanks to the exorbitant property prices many young people dare not get married let alone have kids . Many professionals including lawyers doctors and accountants dare not purchase properties
政府表示想吸引外地人才來港，我相信樓價是一大障礙。
While the Government has expressed its intention to attract outside talent to Hong Kong I believe our property prices will be a major obstacle
要解決這個問題，方法不外乎輸入廉價勞工、降低建築成本或增加土地供應，例如在大嶼山填海和發展周邊的郊野公園。
Solutions to this problem are basically importing cheap labour reducing construction costs or increasing land supply such as carrying out reclamation works on Lantau Island and developing nearby country parks
上屆特區政府已開始大力覓地，而今屆特區政府更加注入了很多新思維，但近月林太提到的80萬公共租住房屋"封頂論"卻惹 起一連串、一面倒的圍攻。
In its last term the SAR Government launched an ambitious effort to identify sites and in its current term it has even injected a great deal of new thinking . Nevertheless Mrs LAMs remark on capping the public rental housing PRH supply at 800 000 units in recent months has sparked a barrage of criticisms from all sides
然而，如何可以令更多人能購買居屋和入住公屋呢？
Nevertheless what should be done to enable more people to purchase HOS flats and be housed in PRH?
今屆政府其實推出了"綠置居"。
The current - term Government has actually launched the GSH
我相信香港市民亦不會有這種想法。
I believe members of the public in Hong Kong will not hold such an idea
有些人問，為何要迫市民買樓？
Some people have this question . Why should members of the public be forced to purchase flats?
我今天聽到另一位議員提到如果在市區興建"綠置居"單位，其實不會騰出一些公屋單位。
Today I have heard another Member say that the construction of GSH flats in the urban areas actually will not release PRH flats
最後，我亦想提醒局長無須擔心領展，因為"民不與富鬥"。
Lastly I also wish to remind the Secretary not to worry about Link because people will give way to the rich
雖然領展很有財力，但"富不與官爭"，它亦無法勝過政府。
While Link is financially powerful the rich will give way to the Government . It will not manage to gain the upper hand over the Government either
如果政府真的認為是一件美事，為何又會把這責任完全推給民間團體呢？
If the Government really thinks that it is a wonderful thing why did it completely shift the responsibility onto non - governmental organizations NGOs?
事實上，我們現在看到香港房屋有一定的空置率，亦有"良心業主"願意騰出單位。
In fact we notice a certain percentage of housing vacancy rate in Hong Kong and conscientious property owners are willing to offer their flats for the cause
他們表示，假如他們經營"劏房"，也可能會賺取很多租金，但看到現在可能有20萬人住在"劏房"，有接近30萬人正在輪候公屋，這些人需要在輪候期間在住屋上得到緩衝，於是便騰出單位翻新，供他們短住。
They said they could probably earn a lot more rental income if they let out subdivided flats but seeing probably 200 000 people now living in subdivided flats and nearly 300 000 awaiting allocation of public rental housing PRH who all need a buffer in terms of housing during their wait they decided to vacate their flats for refurbishment and then for these peoples short stay
這是一件美事，但問題是杯水車薪。
It is a wonderful thing but the problem is it is just a drop in the ocean
大家想想，其實現時正在推行該計劃的民間團體也表示，努力找到1,000個單位已是非常困難的事情，如何能解決公屋輪候冊上人數眾多的問題，以至我剛才提及正入住"劏房"的20萬人的情況呢？
Even the NGOs now promoting the Scheme said that it was already a challenge to identify 1 000 flats how do we deal with the many applicants on the PRH Waiting List and 200 000 living in subdivided flats right now?
其實早起不是大問題，較大的問題是田北辰議員洗澡竟然弄致廁所淤塞，於是我們便呼籲他處理，所謂"自己坑渠自己通"，不過他也很樂意負責。
It is indeed not a problem; a bigger problem is that Mr Michael TIEN somehow managed to cause the pipe clogged after taking a shower so we asked him to deal with it as he had to clean up after himself but he was happy to bear the responsibility
我們只是住1晚而已，老實說，住1晚感受不了甚麼。
We stayed just for one night which honestly did not give us any profound experience
我舉例，既然有"良心業主"，那有沒有"良心地主"呢？
For example as there are conscientious property owners are there land owners of conscience too?
我注意到，在現行房屋政策中，中轉房屋正在逐漸消失，包括位於元朗的朗邊中轉房屋可能已被清拆，土地將會用來興建公屋。
I notice that under the current housing policy interim housing is vanishing gradually . It includes the one located at Long Bin Yuen Long which has probably been demolished and the site will be used for PRH construction
當然，興建公屋也重要，但中轉房屋過往確 實擔當非常重要的角色。
Construction of PRH is undoubtedly important but interim housing did play a crucial role in the past
例如，我們在地區辦事處曾處理過不少求助個案，其中包括離婚個案：男方和女方已離婚，但兩人仍然居住在同一個公屋單位。
For example we have handled many requests for assistance in our ward offices including divorce cases in which both parties are divorced but still live together in the same PRH flat
在處理個案的過程中，我們與房屋署商討，有機會能說服其中一方遷出。
In handling such cases we would discuss with the Housing Department to possibly persuade one party to move out
我們當然明白，但另一邊廂，歸根究底，公屋供應絕不能"封頂"。
We understand this . But on the other hand it all boils down to the fact that there should never be a cap on PRH supply
易地而處，試想在原來的單位收拾和清拆東西需要時間，搬往另一個單位亦需要時間，而同時購買一個新單位，是非常沉重的財政負擔。
Putting ourselves in their shoes it takes time to pack and remove things in the original flat and move to another one and if at the same time a new flat is purchased it would impose a very heavy financial burden on them
所以，在房屋政策方面，政府應更積極聆聽民間的聲音和訴求。
Therefore in terms of housing policy the Government should more actively listen to the people and their aspirations
至於我剛才提到的共享房屋計劃，如果政府覺得這是可以推動的項目，我希望不要單靠民間團體"單打獨鬥"，否則它們只能取得一個單位便算一個。
As regards the Community Housing Scheme I have just mentioned if the Government thinks it is a project worth promotion I hope it would not rely on NGOs to accomplish the task on their own . Otherwise they can only obtain one flat as it comes
我聽聞，能在年底達成取得30個單位這個目標也要"偷笑"，因為真的很困難，將一個舊單位重新裝修，予以分配，還要做配對協調，令3個類似家庭可以共處一室。
I have learnt that it should be considered a stroke of luck if the target of obtaining 30 flats can be achieved by the end of this year because it is laborious to renovate an old flat allocate it to those in need and coordinate the matching so that three similar families can live in harmony in the flat
先決條件就是充裕的單位供應。
The prerequisite is an ample supply of flats
我們再強調，這絕不能解決現在公屋輪候冊上市民的訴求。
We stress that it is never an answer to the aspirations of people on the PRH Waiting List
市民能夠"上"公屋，建立自己真正的家，心便會安定下來，對我們的城市也會有更大的歸屬感。
If people can be allocated PRH flats and truly build a home for themselves they will feel secure and so develop a greater sense of belonging to our city
我們呼籲，稍後有機會的話，局長也試住一晚，看看真實的情況，聽聽民間組織的訴求，我想他應該很樂意。
We encourage the Secretary if he has the chance later to spend one night there to see for himself the actual conditions and listen to the aspirations of NGOs . I think he should be happy to do so
說完房屋，另一邊廂要談的是我們非常關注的安老問題。
Apart from housing what I have to discuss on the other hand is elderly care which is a grave concern to me
我讀社工課程的時候，選了一份功課，讓我有機會思考"安老"這一詞的意思。
When I was studying a social work course I selected an assignment which gave me a chance to contemplate the meaning of provision of elderly services
說到底，安老就是老有所依，因為長者用了自己青春的黃金歲月來建立今天的香港。
In the end it means providing reliance for elderly persons because they spent their prime building todays Hong Kong
在香港，每一位長者都值得尊敬，現在應該是他們安享晚年的時間。
In Hong Kong we owe our respect to every elderly person and it is the time for them to enjoy their twilight years
我們且看看一些簡單數字，截止5月31日，大概有36,426位人士輪候院舍。
We shall look at some simple numbers . As at 31 May about 36 426 people are waiting for places in residential care homes for the elderly RCHEs
要輪候津助院舍或合約院舍，需要等37個月。
It takes 37 months to be allocated a place in subsidized or contract RCHEs
未成功輪候，即未能獲派公營院舍，怎麼辦呢？
For those whose applications were unsuccessful meaning they are not allocated places of public RCHEs what should they do?
但是，舉例來說，台灣的人手比例是1：20。
However to give an example that of Taiwan is 1col20
無論任何原因，有些 長者遇到這種情況，有口不能言，在院舍裏面便任由擺布，這情況值得我們關注。
Regardless of the reasons elderly persons facing such kind of treatment cannot speak and are at the mercy of RCHEs
所以，我希望政府加強有關方面的工作。
It warrants our attention . For this reason I hope the Government can strengthen its work in this respect
居家安老、社區照顧，說是很容易。
It is easy to just talk about ageing in place and community care
我留意到香港老年人口不斷膨脹，大家看看，數字頗為驚人。
I have taken note of the growing elderly population in Hong Kong . Let us look at the fairly alarming numbers
2003年，香港有678萬人口，60歲以上的人佔101萬人。
In 2003 the population of Hong Kong was 6.78 million of which those aged 60 and above made up 1.01 million
2016年，735萬人口，60歲以上的人佔167萬人，增長非常快。
In 2016 the population was 7.35 million of which those aged 60 and above made up 1.67 million . The growth has been most rapid
政府有沒有方法，有沒有構想，令這些服務隊的數字最少增加多少？
Has the Government any way or idea to increase the number of such service teams by at least a certain number?
或者增加他們的力量，讓他們可以應付照顧龐大老年人口這麼沉重的工作，這值得大家深思。
Or will it enhance their capacity so that they can cope with the heavy workload of taking care of the massive elderly population . It warrants our contemplation
畢竟香港窮得只有錢，我們有9,360億元盈餘。
After all Hong Kong is so poor that it only has money―we have 936 billion in surplus
討論完房屋，亦討論了對安老政策的一些看法，在第三個辯論環節，我當然要討論我一直非常關注的動物權益，因為政府今次在施政報告中對此議題實在着墨不多，我們只在施政綱領中看到政府倡議主人責任。
After discussing housing issues and some views on the elderly services policy in the third debate session I surely must discuss animal rights a subject that has been a huge concern to me all along . The Government has indeed mentioned little about this issue in the Policy Address . We only note the government advocacy of positive duty of care on animal keepers in the Policy Agenda
這當然重要，但是說到底香港未有正式的動物保護法。
Important though it is after all Hong Kong has yet to have formal legislation on animal protection
我們看到，近年動物被虐殺、被虐待的情況無日無之，越來越嚴重的。
We notice that in recent years killings and abuse of animals have become never - ending and rampant
新聞上，數天便會看到一宗動物被虐殺的報道，接着便不了了之。
Every several days we can see in the news a report of animal abuse and killing which will then be left unsettled
當中可能有一些案件，警方成功拘捕疑犯，我在此感激警方的努力。
In some of the cases the Police might have made successfully arrests of suspects . I thank the Police for their efforts
但另一邊廂，我們亦留意到，因香港沒有動物警察，而令調查案件時遇上相當的困難。
But in the meanwhile we also notice that because of the absence of animal police in Hong Kong investigation of cases meets with quite some difficulties
這視乎各個警區不同指揮官的做法，才可了解案件的優先次序。
The priority of cases depends on the practices of various commanders in different police districts
我知道部分警區其實設有專隊處理動物的案件，元朗有，旺角也有。
I know that some police districts have dedicated teams handling animal cases; both Mong Kok and Yuen Long are cases in point
未必，真的視乎當區指揮官所作的決定。
Not necessarily for it is up to the commanders of the districts to make the decision
但是，事實上，設有專隊的警區調查關於動物的案件相對迅速。
However the fact is the investigations into animal cases are relatively quicker in police districts with dedicated teams
老實說，即使有關方面有心調查，很抱歉，搜證是相當困難的，簡單如取得閉路電視的紀錄也有困難，因為最終也要交回給警方。
Frankly even if the authorities concerned have the intention to investigate these cases sorry the collection of evidence is difficult because in such a simple task of obtaining CCTV records the records will be returned to the police eventually
如果香港能夠成立動物警察，就能立竿見影，讓那些躲藏在社會背後陰暗面的人知道，有專隊進行調查，阻嚇他們，別虐待一些不懂得說話的動物，或令到這些案件能夠被發現。
If animal police can be established in Hong Kong it will create an instant effect to make those hiding in the dark side of society realize that dedicated teams will carry out investigations to deter them from abusing animals that cannot speak or to expose these cases
我們很感激香港人近年非常熱心，願意幫忙和關注。
We are very grateful that people in Hong Kong are very concerned and willing to help and show attention
我們經常引用甘地的話：一個城市的文明程度，取決於這個城市是如何看待動物。
We often quote Gandhi on this the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated
上個立法會年度，我們通過議員議案，促請政府關注動物權益，並制定動物保護法。
In the last Legislative Council session we passed a Members motion to urge the Government to pay attention to animals rights and enact legislation on animal protection
其實弱勢的群體實在有太多，除動物之外，最後我想談談罕見疾病。
There are indeed too many underprivileged groups . Other than animals I wish to talk about rare diseases in closing
近期我幫助了一名罕見疾病的病友，她是一名女孩子，名為Happy。
Recently I have helped a patient suffering from a rare disease a girl called Happy
可惜，這名女孩子於3年前患上一個怪病，使她的右腳向內彎，情況相當嚴重。
Unfortunately this girl contracted a strange disease three years ago causing her right leg to bend inwards in a fairly serious condition
原本是有工作的正常女孩子，要以輪椅代步。
A normal girl who used to have a job has to get around in a wheelchair now
舉一個例子，外國新藥要在香港註冊，須先經過3個委員會批准，然後還要到各大醫院聯網再審一次。
For example for an overseas drug item to be registered in Hong Kong it has to seek approval from three committees before being passed to various hospital clusters for vetting and approval
結論是甚麼，可能動輒要3至4年時間，一些藥物才能成功加入醫院管理局的藥物名冊，還只是自費的藥物而已。
The outcome is it can easily take three to four years for some new drugs to be successfully included in the Hospital Authority Drug Formulary and they are only self - financed drugs
當然，我留意到政府近期宣布的恩恤用藥計劃，這是一個好的開始。
Of course I notice the compassionate programmes on the use of drugs recently announced by the Government which mark a good start
我們要承認，罕見疾病的病友也是香港人。
We have to admit that patients with rare diseases are Hongkongers too
我們要承認，罕見疾病的病友需要得到特別的支援。
We have to admit that patients with rare diseases need special support
我們希望在機制上，可以幫助他們，因為他們本身已處於弱勢。
We hope to help them through the mechanism because they are already in a disadvantaged position
他們說話的能力可能逐漸衰退，我們是否應該在這個會議廳中，為他們努力，幫助他們找一個方法，而不是對他們視而不見？
Their speaking ability may be deteriorating and should we in this Council endeavour to help them find a way instead of turning a blind eye to them?
我希望政府稍後能夠就罕見疾病病友面對的困難，制訂專門而具針對性的政策，起碼讓他們看得到曙光。
I hope that later in response to the hardship endured by patients with rare diseases the Government can formulate designated and targeted policies so as to let them see some hope
那麼，他們在捱病的時候，也會感覺到香港政府對他們的關懷。
In this way they can feel the Hong Kong Governments care during the hard time of their ill health
然而，現實上我們明白資源有限，因此如何作出有效分配是十分重要的，如果分配不公，往往引起很多討論甚至觸發矛盾。
In reality however we understand that with only limited resources an effective distribution of resources is very important . Very often unfair distribution of resources may lead to much discussion or even conflicts
近年內地與香港之間出現很多矛盾，這些矛盾更慢慢升溫變成政治議題，但歸根究底與民生資源分配有關。
In recent years many conflicts arising between the Mainland and Hong Kong have gradually intensified and turned into political issues . In a nutshell these conflicts boil down to the distribution of resources for peoples living
例如"雙非"對醫院服務造成影響、水貨客、學位短缺，這些都是資源分配引起的問題。
For instance the impacts of expectant Mainland mothers whose husbands are not Hong Kong residents on hospitals parallel - goods traders shortages of school places and so on are problems attributed to the distribution of resources
所以，對於施政報告提出檢討"限奶令"，我十分關注，而且感到十分擔心。
I am therefore gravely concerned and very worried about the proposal in the Policy Address for reviewing the export control of powdered formulae
假如取消或放寬"限奶令"，我很擔心會再出現奶粉短缺或水貨客的情況，不單會再次引起民生問題，亦會令內地與香港的緊張關係和矛盾再次升溫，以致與政府的原意，即解除"限奶令"可改善兩地關係恰恰相反。
Should the powdered formulae restriction order be lifted or relaxed I feel gravely concerned that a shortage of powdered formulae or parallel - goods traders will appear again . Not only will doing so give rise to livelihood problems but the tension and conflicts between the Mainland and Hong Kong will intensify again . This precisely runs counter to the Governments original intention of improving the relationship between the two places
所以，我希望政府三思。
I therefore hope that the Government will think twice about its proposal
我們曾經訪問北區、元朗、屯門的家長對政府打算檢討"限奶令"的看法。
For instance we have interviewed some parents in the North District Yuen Long and Tuen Mun and consulted them on the Governments intention to review the powdered formulae restriction order
加上內地最近改變了"一孩"政策，容許市民多生育1名小孩，以致每年會有額外500萬名嬰兒出生，因此對奶粉的需求只會有增無減。
Coupled with the recent change to the one - child policy in the Mainland whereby members of the public are allowed to give birth to one more child an additional 5 million babies are expected to be born per annum . As a result the demand for powdered formulae will rise rather than fall
就像現時食米商須庫存15天供應量一樣，供應商同時須保留庫存紀錄，讓政府可隨時監察存貨量，向市民發放詳細而正確的信息，減少市場因信息混亂而引致出現搶購行為。
For instance rice traders are now required to keep a stock of 15 days . Meanwhile rice suppliers are required to keep records of its stock so that the Government can monitor the amount of stock at any time in order to disseminate detailed and accurate messages to members of the public with a view to minimizing panic buying caused by confusing messages
此外，條例亦規定，貯存商和批發商須向海關登記進口和出口，並且申請許可證。
Furthermore the Reserved Commodities Ordinance provides that rice stockholders and wholesalers are required to register import and export with the Customs and Excise Department and apply for permits
所以，我認為如果政府真的要做，可循着這個方向。
If the Government is really determined to do so it may work in this direction
老實說，某地方要保障自己的戰略食品或重要的必需食品，並非新鮮事情。
Honestly it is nothing new for a place to protect its strategic food supplies or important necessities
畢竟，大家也知道，現時這些民生問題如果無法妥善處理，便會變成政治問題，還會被一些"有心人"乘機挑撥離間。
After all as we all know if these livelihood issues cannot be addressed properly they will turn into political issues . Worse still some people with ulterior motives might seize the opportunity to sow discord
如果不這樣做的話，反對派真的會藉着這些民生小問題，例如分配，大造文章。
Should the Government fail to do so the opposition will really make a big fuss of these trivial livelihood issues such as distribution
我希望政府真正能夠三思，上述人士挑起這些矛盾後，絕不會幫忙做善後工作。
I hope that the Government can really think twice . After stirring up these conflicts these people will definitely not help clean up the mess
主席，我在這節辯論的發言到此為止，我稍後也會就土地等其他問題再次發言。
President I shall stop here in this debate session . I will speak again on other issues such as land and so on later in the meeting
最後，我想稍為談談醫療的問題，因為隨着九龍東安達臣道的公屋入伙，當局在區內已劃出一些土地預留作診所用地。
Lastly I would like to talk about health care . As the PRH estate at Anderson Road Kowloon East started intake the authorities have earmarked some sites in the district for building clinics
