即使在勞工處或勞資審裁處通知那間公司的負責人或董事時，在聯繫上已有困難，如果真的聯繫不上，勞工處或勞資審裁處才會運用他們作為公職人員的權力查找其地址再行聯絡，但這樣已經遲了。
Even when the Labour Department LD or the Labour Tribunal LT notifies the responsible person or director of the company they may already have difficulties in contacting them . If the person concerned cannot be contacted LD or LT will then use their powers as public officers to access their addresses and contact them again but the process will be delayed
我最近也曾處理一宗個案，售貨員向公司追討欠薪。
I recently handled a case where a salesman sought to claim outstanding wages from his company
我們工會發現跟他簽署僱傭合約的是一間公司的名字，支薪的支票是另外一間公司的名字，強制性公積金供款又是另外一間公司的名字，涉及3間不同的公司。
FTU noticed that his employment contract was signed in the name of one company his pay cheque was issued in the name of another company and his MPF contribution was made in the name of yet another company involving three different companies
我們的同事透過查閱該公司的地址，看到全部董事的資料，了解他們當中"藤掕瓜、瓜掕藤"的關係，最終找出數間公司的關係，最後才能夠向法庭提供有用的資料，為工友爭取到合理權益。
With the access to the addresses of the companies our colleagues were able to obtain the information of all the directors and got to know the intricate relationships among them and subsequently revealed the relationships among these companies . We could eventually provide useful information to the court and uphold the legitimate rights of the worker
可是，在新查冊安排下，我們工會工作者或即使是受委託的工會代表， 均不能夠再查閱公司董事的地址，只能夠查到公司名字和通訊地址，對抽絲剝繭式的處理個案會有一點麻煩。
However under the new inspection regime of the Register we union workers or even appointed union representatives can no longer be allowed access to the addresses of company directors but only the names and correspondence addresses of companies which may cause problems to our handling of cases as some data needs to be ascertained
雖然我們對政府沒有採納我們的建議表示失望，但希望政府能密切了解有關情況。
Although we are disappointed that the Government has not adopted our proposal we hope that it will pay close attention to the situation
今次的修訂對日後工會處理勞資糾紛，以至勞工處甚至勞資審裁處的程序會否產生實質變化，政府應該適時考慮再作修訂，把指明人士的權力賦予工會，而不是現在政府所說，可以找律師處理。
The current legislative amendment will bring about substantive changes to the procedures of trade unions and even LD and LT in handling labour disputes in future . The Government should thus consider making further amendments in a timely manner so that the powers of specified persons can be given to trade unions instead of suggesting that we can engage lawyers just as what it is now doing
找律師處理其實會涉及費用，局長，即我們並非大公司或大銀行，工會要委託律師再協助當事人進行這個程序會涉及費用。
Engagement of lawyers incurs costs Secretary and we are not a big company or a big bank at all . It will be costly for trade unions to engage lawyers to assist their clients in instituting the proceedings
其次，希望政府有關部門，即勞工處及勞資審裁處，一旦知道登記地址已失效，便應盡快因應申請准許披露董事住址，讓我們能夠伸張正義，令公司做應該做的事情。
Secondly I hope that once the relevant government departments namely LD and LT know that the registered address of a director is no longer valid they should expeditiously give permission to disclosure of hisher residential address upon receiving an application so that we can uphold justice and make the company do what it should do
今次的修訂旨在保障私隱本來是好事，但另一方面，可能會犧牲了我們工會在維權工作上的部分權利，希望政府再聆聽我們的意見。
The current legislative amendment exercise is good in that it seeks to protect privacy but it may sacrifice some of the rights of trade unions in upholding the rights of workers . I hope that the Government will listen to our views
粵港澳大灣區已討論了一段時間，我先談談一些背景資料。
The Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA has been discussed for some time . I will talk about some background information first
大灣區包括兩個特區及9個廣東省城市。
GBA comprises two Special Administrative Regions and nine municipalities of the Guangdong Province
2017年7月1日，在國家主席習近平的見證下，國家發展和改革委員會和粵港澳三地政府在香港共同簽署《深化粵港澳合作推進大灣區建設框架協議》。
Witnessed by President XI Jinping the National Development and Reform Commission and the governments of Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao signed the Framework Agreement on Deepening Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Cooperation in the Development of the Greater Bay Area in Hong Kong on 1 July 2017
其後，特首林鄭月娥在香港成立粵港澳大灣區建設督導委員會，全面統籌香港參與大灣區建設的事宜。
Subsequently Chief Executive Carrie LAM set up the Steering Committee for the Development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area in Hong Kong for overall coordination of matters relating to Hong Kongs participation in the GBA development
政制及內地事務局亦設立粵港澳大灣區發展辦公室，並委任粵港澳大灣區發展專員落實相關工作。
The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau has also set up the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office and appointed the Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area to implement the relevant work
第一，中央在2019年2月18日公布《規劃綱要》時，已表明支持香港提升為國際金融中心，我相信這一點無需多說。
Firstly in the Outline Development Plan promulgated on 18 February 2019 the Central Authorities have already indicated their support for enhancing Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre . I believe there is no need to elaborate on this point
大家也知道，香港已經是重要的國際金融中心，我們應如何再深化離岸人民幣業務、資產管理各方面呢？
As we all know Hong Kong is already a major financial centre in the world . How can we further enhance our offshore Renminbi business asset management etc?
第三，提升香港國際商貿中心的地位，這方面十分重要，尤其是在最近這段時間。
Thirdly it is extremely important to enhance Hong Kongs status as an international centre for commerce and trade particularly during the recent period
同時，他們仍未知道有關框架及特區政府實際上可以做到甚麼。
Meanwhile however they still have no idea as to the Framework Agreement and the actual work which the SAR Government can do
我認為這一點真的很重要，因為始終香港實行"一國兩制"。
I think this instruction is really important because after all one country two systems is being implemented in Hong Kong
在"一國兩制"下，尤其在司法制度方面，香港與內地有很大差異。
Under one country two systems there are huge differences between Hong Kong and the Mainland especially in terms of judicial system
香港始終是普通法司法管轄區，與國際接軌。
After all Hong Kong is a common law jurisdiction which meets international standards
如未來在香港或大灣區內簽訂的合約都以普通法為主軸的話，外資會安心很多。
Foreign investors will be better reassured if all future contracts are signed in Hong Kong or GBA under the common law system
以我所屬的紡織服裝製衣業為例，我剛向特首提交了建議書，提議在大灣區內建設可持續的時裝中心。
Take the textile and fashion industry to which I belong as an example . I have just submitted a proposal to the Chief Executive on the establishment of a sustainable fashion centre in GBA
很多人說服裝業是全球第二大污染行業，而第一大是石油工業。
Many people call the fashion industry the second most polluting industry in the world after the oil industry
香港作為一個服裝採購中心，生產基地還在大灣區。
As a fashion sale centre Hong Kong still has its production base stationed in GBA
在《巴黎協定》下，世界各地政府都要遵守和達到可持續發展的重要指標。
Under the Paris Agreement governments around the world are required to comply with and meet the key targets of sustainable development
現時很多上市公司及銀行機構亦會配合當地政府的要求，就可持續發展設定目標。
Currently many listed companies and banking institutions are also required by local governments to set sustainability goals
有政府甚至要求所有上市公司提交可持續發展計劃，否則他們的評級和借貸申請將會受到影響。
Some governments have even required all listed companies to submit proposals for sustainable development goals otherwise their ratings and loan applications will be affected
如可持續發展服裝中心得以落實的話，必定有助金融業推出所謂Green Bond及發展Green Finance。
The proposal of establishing up a sustainable fashion centre if implemented will certainly facilitate the financial sector in launching the so - called green bonds and developing green finance
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：鍾國斌議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan be passed
主席，多謝周浩鼎議員就我的議案作出修訂，他最主要是提及匯聚海外和國內的人才在大灣區。
President I would like to thank Mr Holden CHOW for amending my motion . His amendment is mainly about attracting talents from overseas and the Mainland to the Greater Bay Area GBA
不過，他只是集中於科技人 才，但中央給予香港的定位卻不只是科技人才，亦包括金融、航運、貿易、文化等方面，我們也需要這些人才。
While he only focuses on technology talents based on the Central Authorities positioning for Hong Kong we should not only focus on technology talents but also talents in the fields of finance shipping trade and culture etc . as we also need such talents
如何吸引海外及國內的人才匯聚大灣區呢？
How to attract talents from overseas and the Mainland to GBA?
剛才有議員提到，香港有很多年青人或人才仍未了解大灣區的情況，這方面要多做工夫，吸引他們到大灣區發展。
Some Members mentioned earlier that many young people or talents in Hong Kong still lack understanding of the situation in GBA . More efforts should be made in this regard to attract them to pursue development in GBA
港商方面，一直以來也有很多香港企業在內地開設分公司或子公司，亦已有很多香港市民在內地發展和工作。
As for Hong Kong businessmen many Hong Kong enterprises have all along established branches or subsidiaries in the Mainland and many Hong Kong people have gone exploring and working in the Mainland
然而，始終由香港700萬人口的市場擴闊至7,000萬人口的市場，甚或由那裏輻射至中國其他省市或經香港輻射至世界各地，我們所需要的人才是龐大的，單靠香港本身的人才未必足夠。
However given that the size of the market will be expanded from Hong Kongs population of 7 million to that of 70 million or may even radiate to other provinces and cities in China or through Hong Kong to various parts of the world we need a huge pool of talents and talents in Hong Kong alone may not be enough
因此，如何吸引世界各地的人才來港，以及如何吸引中國內地不同地方的人才到大灣區甚至香港，這些政策必須由特區政府與中央商討並爭取。
So as to how to attract talents from various parts of the world to Hong Kong and how to attract talents from different parts of the Mainland of China to GBA and even Hong Kong the SAR Government must discuss and strive for relevant policies with the Central Authorities
很多港商甚或外資也認為進入大灣區發展是好的，但擔心單靠香港人才是不足夠的。
Many Hong Kong businessmen and foreign investors consider it desirable to enter GBA for development but worry that it is not enough to rely on Hong Kong talents alone
如要更了解當地文化、當地處理商業的工作思維，最理想當然是用內地人才。
To better understand the local culture and local mindset in business dealings the best way is of course to utilize Mainland talents
老實說，現在中國不同省市的發展也很發達，亦有很多機遇，為何他們要到大灣區呢？
To be honest there is already prosperous development in different provinces and cities in the Mainland and many opportunities are available to them . Why should they go to GBA?
當然，大灣區有其獨特性，便是會有不同的外資，或是在"雙循環"的情況下走出去世界各地。
Of course GBA has its uniqueness ie . there are different foreign - funded enterprises or it is a gateway to various parts of the world under dual circulation
這便是香港未來發展的最大優勢。
This is the most prominent advantage which can help boost Hong Kongs development in the future
因此，多謝周浩鼎議員填補了我的議案中匯聚國內及海外人才的缺口，我十分支持及多謝周浩鼎議員的修正案，多謝主席。
Hence I thank Mr Holden CHOW for enriching the content of my motion by adding the part on attracting talents from the Mainland and overseas . I strongly support and is thankful for his amendment . Thank you President
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：鍾國斌議員動議的議案，經周浩鼎議員修正後，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan as amended by Mr Holden CHOW be passed
代理主席，《香港國安法》實施一年多以來，社會秩序逐漸回復正常，政治及營商環境亦回復穩定，現在是一個大好時機，重新凝聚各界力量，振興香港經濟及解決各項民生問題。
Deputy President since the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong more than a year ago social order has gradually returned to normal and the political and business environment has also become stable now is a good time to reunite the strength of all sectors to revitalize Hong Kongs economy and solve various livelihood issues
《十四五規劃綱要》提出支持香港提升國際金融、航運、貿易中心和國際航空樞紐地位，以及加強香港在粵港澳大灣區的角色，深化和擴大內地與香港金融市場的互聯互通，加強內地與香港各領域的交流和合作等。
The Outline of the 14th Five - Year Plan proposes to support Hong Kong in enhancing its status as an international financial transportation and trading centre as well as an international aviation hub strengthen Hong Kongs role in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA deepen and expand the interconnection and interoperability between the financial markets of the Mainland and Hong Kong and enhance exchanges and cooperation between the Mainland and Hong Kong in various fields
我們期望政府可以帶領社會各界，把握大灣區建設的最佳切入點，讓香港融入國家發展大局，為香港經濟帶來源源不絕的新動力。
We hope that the Government will lead various sectors of the community to grasp the best entry point for the GBA development so that Hong Kong can integrate into the overall development of the country and bring new and continuous impetus to the Hong Kong economy
事實上，大灣區"九加二"城市群的地區生產總值在2020年已達至13億美元，佔全國GDP生產總值大約12%，發展潛力非常驚人。
In fact the nine plus two cities in GBA registered a GDP of US1.3 billion in 2020 accounting for approximately 12 % of the national GDP . The potential for development in GBA is very impressive
對於香港企業來說，這除了是8,600萬人口的巨大市場，亦是在環球疫情下可以繼續擴展業務的少數地區之一。
For Hong Kong companies GBA is not only a huge market with a population of 86 million but also one of the few regions that can continue to expand their business in the face of the global epidemic
香港是國際金融中心，我們要善用"一國兩制"的優勢，爭取香港成為大灣區建設的"舵手"。
Hong Kong is an international financial centre . We should make good use of the advantages of one country two systems and strive to make Hong Kong the helmsman of GBA
過去數月，大灣區內多個城市都推出政策措施，吸引人才和資金落戶。
In the past few months many cities in GBA have launched policies and measures to attract talents and investments to establish their bases there
香港亦不可以守株待兔，應主動出擊。
Hong Kong should not passively wait for opportunities but take proactive actions
我們建議政府進一步優化"港人港稅"的安排，劃一適用人才類別，以直接免徵方法代替"先繳後補"，透過優惠和便利措施吸引人才來港。
We suggest that the Government should further improve the Hong Kong taxation for Hong Kong people arrangement by standardizing the categories of talents and replacing the pay first and receive reimbursement later approach with a direct exemption so as to attract talents to Hong Kong through concessions and facilitation measures
我們亦已建議政府向中央爭取透過香港統一發放大灣區外籍人才通行證，吸引外資公司來港設立地區總部，吸引人才和資金落戶。
We have also suggested the Government to seek approval from the Central Government for the issuance of a unified permit for foreign talents in GBA through Hong Kong so as to attract foreign companies to set up regional headquarters in Hong Kong and attract talents and investments to establish their bases here
此外，政府亦需要推動大灣區三地的金融合作、協調粵港澳三地市場機制，協助香港企業進軍大灣區以至"一帶一路"市場。
In addition the Government also needs to promote financial cooperation among the three regions in GBA and coordinate the market mechanisms of Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao so as to help Hong Kong enterprises enter GBA and even the Belt and Road market
因此，政府需要檢視香港在金融監管方面的制度和法例，亦要協調大灣區其他城市做好專業資格互認及產品標準互認，進一步協助業界在大灣區發展並打入區內的市場。
Therefore it is necessary for the Government to review Hong Kongs financial regulatory system and legislation and coordinate with other cities in GBA for mutual recognition of professional qualifications and product standards so as to further assist the industry to develop in GBA and enter the markets in the region
工商界亦很希望可以走訪大灣區各個城市，了解不同市場的發展，所以兩地通關是重要的一步。
The business sector also hopes to visit various cities in GBA to understand the development of different markets thus clearance of the two places is an important step
我們建議盡快設立"大灣區商務通道"，只要兩地居民接種兩劑疫苗及完成檢測，便可免隔離在區內自由往來，這安排是雙向的，如果可以成事，兩地經貿往來和旅遊亦能逐步恢復，從而帶動經濟活動。
We propose to establish a Greater Bay Area Business Channel as soon as possible so that residents of the two places can be exempted from quarantine and travel freely between the two places as long as they have received two doses of vaccines and completed testing . This mutual arrangement if implemented economic and trade exchanges and tourism between the two places can be gradually resumed thus boosting economic activities
大灣區亦為香港青年帶來廣闊的發展空間，政府在今年1月推出由香港總商會提倡的大灣區青年就業計劃，至今已有超過40家總商會會員公司參與。
GBA also offers a wide range of development opportunities for young people in Hong Kong . The Government launched the Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme advocated by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce HKGCC in January this year and more than 40 HKGCC member companies have participated so far
我們期望政府繼續擴大和優化相關計劃，吸引各行各業為青年人提供大灣區的工作機會。
We hope that the Government will continue to expand and enhance the Scheme so as to attract various industries and trades to provide job opportunities in GBA for young people
代理主席，全球政治經濟環境變得日益複雜，城市之間的競爭越來越激烈，香港正面臨巨大挑戰。
Deputy President as the global political and economic environment has become increasingly complex and competition among cities has become more intense Hong Kong is facing enormous challenges
我們期望政府可以提出實際的政策和措施，助力香港工商界打入大灣區市場，發揮香港獨特的優勢。
We hope that the Government will put forward practical policies and measures to help the business sector of Hong Kong enter the GBA market and give play to Hong Kongs unique advantages
在剛剛過去的東京奧運，香港代表取得歷史佳績，全港市民團結一心為運動員打氣，場面確實令人非常感動。
The Hong Kong delegation has achieved unprecedented results in the recent Tokyo Olympic Games and it was touching to see all Hong Kong people cheer for our athletes with one heart
在他們登上頒獎台的一刻，相信很多香港人都感到高興和光榮。
At the very moment that our athletes stepped on the podium many Hong Kong people were happy and proud
這些如此有分量的奧運獎牌，不只是表揚他們在賽場上的出色表現，亦是對他們長年累月努力訓練的肯定。
The valuable Olympic medals that our athletes have won are not only a tribute to their outstanding performance on the field but also a recognition of their hard work and training over the years
"台上一分鐘，台下十年功"，運動員要面對各種突如其來的挑戰，例如傷患及過去兩年因新冠疫情而被打亂的比賽安排。
As the saying goes One minute of performance on stage takes ten years of practice offstage . There are far too many unexpected challenges facing athletes which can be injuries or the disruption of competitions caused by the novel coronavirus epidemic in the past two years
憑藉他們個人的努力，加上團隊的支持，以及政府和香港體育學院等提供的支援，運動員才有今天的成果。
Definitely their achievements today were the fruits of their efforts coupled with the backing of their teams as well as the support from the Government and the Hong Kong Sports Institute
我們對運動員的支持，應該要長期和持續。
Our support for athletes should be long - lasting
我們希望香港的體育運動可以百花齊放，而不是誰人獲得獎牌，便把全部撥款投放在該項目。
Hong Kong should be a place for different sports to thrive and it is not right to give all funding to only the medal - winning sports
無論是志在培養興趣的市民，還是有意展開職業生涯的運動員，都應該有足夠的發展空間。
Enough room should be given for people to develop interest in sports or grow as professional athletes
我最近打球時，有朋友說起香港高爾夫球手陳芷澄。
I heard a friend of mine talking about Tiffany CHAN a Hong Kong golfer in a recent golf game
粉嶺高爾夫球場對Tiffany很有意義，亦是亞洲最具歷史的高爾夫球場，已有100多年歷史。
The over a century - old Fanling Golf Course which is the oldest of its kind in Asia is of great meaning to Tiffany
在這100多年來，只有Tiffany一位土生土長的球手在這個球場贏得香港公開賽。
In the past 100 years or so Tiffany was the only golfer born and bred in Hong Kong winning the Hong Kong Open at this course
正因為她可以在該處練習，她才可以成為第一個打入美國職業巡迴賽的香港球手，並在早前第二次代表香港出戰奧運。
Thanks to the presence of this golf course she was able to practise golf and become the first Hong Kong golfer to play on the PGA Tour . Recently she has also represented Hong Kong for the second time at the Olympics
粉嶺高爾夫球場對香港同樣非常重要。在推動體育發展方面，除了訓練選手和舉辦國際賽事外，木球會、足球會等亦會借用高爾夫球場進行日常訓練。
The Fanling Golf Course is equally important to Hong Kong for promotion of sports development as it is not only used for training golf players and organizing international tournaments but also used by cricket clubs football clubs etc . for routine training
局長，你多次表示要全面支持香港發展運動，我們會緊盯着你，希望你不要"說一套、做一套"。
Secretary as you have repeatedly said that you will give full support to Hong Kongs sports development we will keep a close eye to see if you will merely talk the talk but not walk the walk
我想藉這個例子說明，單靠政府並不足夠，還需要民間團體一同合作推動體育發展。
I cited the above example to show that government efforts alone were not enough
這是因為只有體育團體才知道運動員的需要，而且能夠靈活辦事。
In order to promote sports development the collaboration of non - government organizations is crucial as sports associations know best about the needs of athletes and are flexible in handling things
政府做事則規矩多多， 有時候難免過於保守。
By contrast the Government is bound by red tape and conservative at times
以滑板為例，在東京奧運後，多了很多人滑滑板，但康樂及文化事務署有些場地管理較嚴，不准小朋友滑滑板進內，另一些同類場地則太早關門，小朋友放學後已無法進入玩滑板。
For example despite the huge increase in skateboarders after the Tokyo Olympic Games children are not allowed to skateboard in certain venues under the strict management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department . Other similar venues though available close early and keep child skateboarders out after school
體育事業產業化的目的是讓體育項目能夠持續發展，不用依靠撥款生存。
The proposed industrialization of sports is meant to make sports development sustainable without relying solely on funding
我參與盛事基金時，每當衡量項目的價值，亦須同時考慮能否凝聚人心、推動旅遊發展和宣傳香港形象等因素。
When I worked for the Mega Events Fund I had to consider factors such as the conduciveness to social harmony the promotion of tourism and the publicity of Hong Kongs image in weighing up the value of different projects
除了運動員之外，體育事業產業化也需要教練團隊、治療師、行政人員等的配合，同時也可以保障運動員退役後的出路。
The industrialization of sports would require the collaboration of athletes and personnel such as coaches therapists and administrators to give athletes among others a more secure future after retirement
不過，我們應小心"一窩蜂"的效應。
However we should watch out for the bandwagon effect
當年李麗珊贏得金牌後，很多人學習風帆，但過了幾年，熱潮便告減退。
Many people flocked to learn windsurfing after LEE Lai - shan had won the gold medal but the craze soon subsided a few years later
有獎牌的項目會成為熱門運動，但體育發展需要長遠的考慮，政府在軟件及硬件方面均要配合，場地、人手、資源等方面皆需要規劃。
Despite the popularity of the medal - winning sports foresight is necessary in sports development . The Government should provide both software and hardware support as well as making plans for venues manpower resources and so on
代理主席，對於政府口中的"普及化、精英化、盛事化"體育政策，我們認同其方向，我亦相信很多人都同意加大力度，令社會風氣及各種制度均有利於體育發展。
Deputy President we agree with the policy directions of the Government in promoting sports in the community supporting elite sports and developing Hong Kong into a centre for major international sports events . I also believe that many people will support making increased efforts to change our social values and systems in a way to facilitate sports development
我們希望普羅市民身心健康，亦能夠推動體育項目爭取佳績，團結社會。
We hope that members of the public can be healthy both physically and mentally and that the promotion of sports will bring impressive results and social unity
我們支持原議案和修正案。
We support the original motion and its amendment
代理主席，十分多謝鍾國斌議員提出今天的議案，討論粵港澳大灣區的發展問題。
Deputy President I thank Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan so much for proposing todays motion for the discussion of the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA
大灣區發展是香港的未來。
The development of GBA means Hong Kongs future
過去受政治影響，社會根本沒有機會討論大灣區的問題。
In the past owing to political impacts there was no chance to discuss GBA issues in society at all
市民不了解大灣區對香港多麼重要，也不知道香 港經濟能夠保持繁榮穩定是全因有國家支持。
Members of the public neither understand how important GBA is to Hong Kong nor they know it is all because of the countrys support that the Hong Kong economy is able to maintain prosperous and stable
今天香港已經撥亂反正，希望社會有更多機會探討大灣區的發展，讓社會大眾可以知道更多真實情況。
Today Hong Kong has restored order from chaos . I hope there will be more chances for our society to probe into the development of GBA so as to let the community knows more about the real picture
今天多位議員提出不少有用建議，大部分我也是同意的。
Today many fellow Members have proposed a lot of useful suggestions and I agree to most of them as well
我想集中討論一兩個問題。
I would like to focus on a question or two
原議案中提出，要求政府向相關行業持份者進行諮詢，以準確地了解各行業的需求，從而為有關行業的發展制訂政策。
In the original motion it is proposed to urge the Government to consult relevant industry stakeholders so as to accurately understand the needs of various industries and thereby formulate strategies for the development of relevant industries
我認為這項建議非常好，政府也要認真考慮。
I think this is a very good proposal that the Government should seriously consider
事實上，在現今經濟領域中，政府應該扮演積極的角色，更主動地推動經濟發展。
Actually in terms of the current economic perspective the Government should play an active role to promote economic development in a more self - initiated manner
至於發展的具體細節，由於行業持份者是最了解市場的人，所以諮詢行業持份者是政府制訂政策前必須做的工作。
As for the specific details of development the consultation with industry stakeholders is what the Government must do before formulating policies because industry stakeholders are the ones who have the best understanding of the market
當然，我知道政府一向有諮詢行業持份者，但問題是官員究竟把諮詢工作當成門面工夫，還是真心重視諮詢結果，會盡量採用呢？
Certainly I know it has been the practice of the Government to consult industry stakeholders; yet the problem is whether the officials will take consultation work as window dressing or genuinely attach importance to consultation results and adopt them as far as possible?
事實上，各部門一向有進行諮詢工作，但由研究到拍板也是由官員閉門進行，外界不能過問，決定後亦通常不能更改。
In fact it has been the practice of various departments to conduct consultations; however from the study stage till the final decision is made everything is done by the officials behind closed doors such that outside parties cannot ask anything about it and usually no change can be made after the decision is made
