政府亦提出修正案，使有關罪行及豁免的條文更清晰易明，包括把食物環境衞生署和私營廢物收集商就收集住用處所都市固體廢物的安排劃一，使兩者的壓縮型垃圾車均可接收以指定垃圾袋包妥或貼上指定標籤的都市固體廢物。
The Government has also proposed amendments to enhance the clarity and comprehensibility of the offence and exemption provisions including standardizing the arrangements for the collection of MSW from domestic premises by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department or private waste collectors such that both may use refuse collection vehicles with compactors to collect MSW that is either wrapped in designated garbage bags or affixed with designated labels
政府當局表示，一般而言，政府僱員須遵守公務員隊伍的各項守則及規例，政府亦有既定機制處理公務員隊伍的紀律事宜。
The Administration has advised that generally speaking government employees are subject to the rules and regulations of the civil service . There is also an established mechanism for handling disciplinary matters of the civil service
視乎違反規定的情況，違規者會接受不同程度的紀律處分，可能較擬議第20L條下的罰則更具阻嚇力。
Those who contravene the requirements will be subject to varying degrees of disciplinary actions depending on the circumstances which may have a greater deterrent effect than the penalty under the proposed section 20L
政府強調，收費計劃的主要目的在於推動各界改變行為，而非單純懲罰違規行為。
The Government has stressed that the main objective of the charging scheme is to promote behavioural changes of various sectors rather than to purely punish contraventions
另一方面，為使運作上留有彈性，有需要容許政府僱用的廢物處理員在緊急或特別情況下，在某些執法地點棄置違規廢物，因此擬議第20L條並不適用於政府僱用的廢物處理員。
On the other hand to preserve operational flexibility it is necessary to permit disposal of non - compliant waste at certain enforcement locations by government - employed waste handlers under urgent or special circumstances and so the proposed section 20L is not applicable to government - employed waste handlers
政府亦確認，有關條文並不抵觸《基本法》和香港人權法案所規定在法律面前一律平等的權利。
The Government has also confirmed that the provision concerned is not in conflict with the right of equality before the law enshrined by the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights
鑒於現時非法棄置廢物的問題仍然嚴重，法案委員會非常關注在推行收費計劃後，部分市民或會規避使用指定垃圾袋或指定標籤而非法棄置都市固體廢物，令環境衞生問題惡化。
Considering that the problem of illegal disposal of waste remains serious nowadays the Bills Committee are extremely concerned that after the implementation of the charging scheme some people may dispose of MSW illegally to evade using designated garbage bags or designated labels leading to deterioration in environmental hygiene
委員亦關注不同政府部門在處理環境衞生問題時，權責是否清晰，以及能否有效執法。
Members are also concerned about whether there is a clear delineation of powers and responsibilities among different government departments in handling environmental hygiene issues and whether the law can be enforced effectively
政府當局表示，在《條例草案》獲通過後，會在環境保護署轄下設立減少都市固體廢物辦公室，以協調各部門實施收費計劃的工作及執法行動。
The Administration has advised that a Municipal Solid Waste Reduction Office will be set up under the Environmental Protection Department after the passage of the Bill to coordinate the efforts of various departments in the implementation and enforcement of the charging scheme
當局會以風險為本的方式，在非法棄置廢物的黑點採取執法行動。
Enforcement actions will be taken at black spots of illegal waste disposal under a risk - based approach
部分委員關注實施收費計劃對不同行業的影響，例如餐飲業界或會因處理廚餘而增加開支。
Some members have expressed concerns on the implications of the implementation of the charging scheme on various trades . For example the catering trade may have to bear additional costs for handling food waste
委員要求政府向業界提供相關支援，以及將免費收集廚餘服務擴展至住宅。
Members has requested that the Government provide the trade with relevant support and expand the free food waste collection service to residential premises
政府表示，現時已經開始推展廚餘回收先導計劃，按照擴大廚餘回收設施的進度，陸續為不同機構場所安排免費收集廚餘。
The Government has advised that it has now launched a food waste recycling pilot scheme to arrange free collection of food waste for different establishments progressively according to the progress of the expansion of food waste recycling facilities
政府計劃在實施收費計劃後，陸續安排免費收集餐飲業界妥善分類出來的廚餘，再運送至廚餘回收設施。
The Government plans to arrange free collection and delivery of food waste properly separated from the catering trade to food waste recycling facilities progressively upon the implementation of the charging scheme
換言之，如果餐飲業界能夠妥善進行廚餘分類，這些送往回收設施的廚餘，日後便無須按收費計劃支付費用。
In other words if the catering trade is able to separate food waste properly the food waste sent to recycling facilities will not be subject to the charges under the charging scheme
政府亦計劃日後將免費收集廚餘服務擴展至住宅。
The Government also plans to expand the free food waste collection service to residential premises in the future
委員促請政府加強源頭減廢及資源回收的工作，並提出多項建議，包括加強監察回收桶及可循環再造物料收集點的環境衞生，以及相關外判服務的成效。
Members have urged the Government to step up its efforts in waste reduction at source and resource recovery and have made a number of suggestions including strengthening the monitoring of the environmental hygiene of recycling bins and recyclables collection points as well as the effectiveness of relevant outsourced services
委員亦建議政府與商界合作，在超級市場和便利店提供資源回收設施及設立獎勵計劃，以及研究如何鼓勵在新建及現有住用處所設立資源回收設施等。
Members have also suggested that the Government collaborate with the business sector in the provision of resource recovery facilities in supermarkets and convenience stores and the introduction of reward schemes explore ways to encourage the setting up of resource recovery facilities in new and existing domestic premises and so on
政府當局察悉委員的意見。
The Administration has noted members views
法案委員會不會對《條例草案》提出修正案。法案委員會對政府當局提出的修正案並無異議。
The Bills Committee will not propose any amendment to the Bill and it has raised no objection to the amendments proposed by the Administration
代理主席，以下我會就自由黨對《條例草案》的意見發言。
Deputy President I will now speak on the Liberal Partys views on the Bill
香港土地短缺，難有空間再進一步擴大堆填區，但都市固體廢物仍然不斷增加。
Owing to land shortage in Hong Kong there is hardly any room for further expansion of landfills and yet MSW continues to pile up
為紓緩堆填區爆滿的危機，政府提出《條例草案》，希望透過一項收費措施改變市民棄置垃圾的習慣。
To mitigate the crisis of overflowing landfills the Government has introduced the Bill in the hope of changing the waste disposal habits of the public through a charging scheme
自由黨從來不支持寓禁於徵，但政府往往認為這是最快和最有效的方法。
The Liberal Party has never supported imposing prohibitive levies but the Government often considers this to be the most expedient and effective approach
正如今年的財政預算案，為紓緩交通擠塞的問題，政府建議增加汽車首次登記稅及牌照費，以控制私家車數目的增長。
As in this years Budget to ameliorate the road congestion problem the Government has proposed to increase the first registration tax and license fees for motor vehicles with a view to curbing the growth of private cars
但是，根 據過往的經臉，加稅只能收一時之效，最終車輛登記數目仍然持續增加，要買車的依然買車，塞車情況未見改善，只是增加車主的負擔。
However based on past experience tax increases can only produce temporary effects . Eventually the number of registered vehicles still continues to grow as those who want to have a car will buy one anyway . While improvement in traffic congestion has yet to be seen this only adds to the burden on car owners
而政府提出廢物徵費，如果沒有其他措施配合的話，徵費的效果亦只會是短暫，最終甚至適得其反，因為徵費或會帶出一個錯誤信息，令市民誤以為付了錢就是盡了環保責任，最終還是未能達到減廢目的。
As for waste charging proposed by the Government its effects will also be temporary if it is not complemented by other measures . It may even end up having an opposite effect for the imposition of levies may convey a wrong message to the public that they have fulfilled their eco - responsibilities simply by paying money . At the end of the day waste reduction still cannot be achieved
要減少都市固體廢物，政府應該從源頭開始，透過宣傳教育及經濟誘因，推動市民減廢及回收，自發地改變生活中廢物棄置的習慣，並且配合完善的循環再造產業鏈，才能有效達至減廢目的，而非動不動就透過徵費或者一些擾民的行政手段去減少廢物，以推動環保。
To reduce MSW the Government should start at source . It should motivate the public to reduce and recycle waste and spontaneously change their waste disposal habits in their daily lives through publicity education and economic incentives . With the complement of a comprehensive recycling chain waste reduction could be effectively achieved
但過去多年，政府在推動減廢方面的力度一直未如理想。
It should not conveniently resort to levies or some disturbing administrative means to reduce waste and thereby promote environmental protection . Over the years however the Governments efforts in promoting waste reduction have been unsatisfactory
2013年5月發表的《香港資源循環藍圖2013-2022》提到將都市固體廢物人均棄置量由2011年每日1.27公斤減少四成至2022年的0.8公斤或以下，但是，2019年的人均棄置量不單沒有下跌，更反升至1.47公斤。
Although the Hong Kong Blueprint for Sustainable Use of Resources 2013 - 2022 published in May 2013 mentioned that the per capita MSW disposal rate would be reduced by 40 % from 1.27 kg per day in 2011 to 0.8 kg or less in 2022 the per capita disposal rate in 2019 rose to 1.47 kg instead of going down
為支援回收業，政府自2015年起推出10億元回收基金。
To support the recycling industry the Government has launched a 1 billion Recycling Fund since 2015
雖然超過一半的基金已經批出，但政府只給予財政支援並不足以解決業界面對的挑戰。
Although more than half of the Fund has been paid out the mere provision of financial assistance by the Government is not sufficient to overcome the challenges faced by the industry
現時都市固體廢物回收率大約只有三成，可見回收企業面對的問題之一就是回收量不足。
Currently the MSW recovery rate is roughly 30 % only showing that one of the problems faced by the recycling enterprises is the inadequate recovery quantity
今次都市固體廢物徵費不包括化學廢物，但從今早我提出有關回收廢鉛酸電池問題的質詢，就可知道現時政府對回收業的支援極度不足。
While chemical waste is excluded from this MSW charging from the question I asked about the recycling of waste lead - acid batteries this morning we can tell that the Governments support for the recycling industry is extremely inadequate at this point
本港已設有可做到八成廢物回收再用的廢鉛酸電池回收廠，但只能從市場上每年產生達38,000公噸的廢鉛酸電池中回收到1,000公噸，另有接近7,000公噸出口至南韓，其他則不知去向。
In spite of the establishment of local recycling plants for waste lead - acid batteries which are capable of recycling 80 % of waste only 1 000 tonnes out of the annual production of 38 000 tonnes of waste lead - acid batteries on the market could be recovered and nearly 7 000 tonnes were exported to South Korea while the rest could not be traced
另外，廢輪胎非法棄置或處理的問題亦非常嚴重，因其循環再造的產品未能廣泛應用。
On the other hand the problem of illegal disposal or handling of waste tyres is also very serious as their recycled products are not widely used
雖然市場上有將廢輪胎加入瀝青製成鋪路物料，據稱可降低路面噪音，但不太耐用，因此，政府在使用這些產品方面並不積極。
Although there is a surfacing material made of waste tyres and asphalt on the market which can allegedly reduce road noise it is not quite durable . Therefore the Government is not keen to use these products
為達到在2021年2月公布《香港資源循環藍圖2035》時所說"全民減廢․資源循環․零廢堆填"的願景，並落實把回收率大幅提升至55%，政府必須有強而有力的回收再造政策，否則只會浪費現有的循環再造產業鏈。
To achieve the vision of Waste Reduction․Resources Circulation․Zero Landfill stated in the Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035 announced in February 2021 and to realize a substantial increase in the recovery rate to 55 % the Government must formulate strong recycling policies or else the existing recycling chain will not work
代理主席，《條例草案》於2018年11月提交立法會。
Deputy President the Bill was presented to the Legislative Council in November 2018
自由黨對於當時提交的《條例草案》，無論在實行或執法上均存有很多疑問，因為當中有很多細節都是不清不楚、模棱兩可，亦容易令人誤墮法網。
The Liberal Party had a lot of doubts about the implementation and enforcement of the Bill presented back then because many details were unclear and ambiguous and people might easily be caught by the law inadvertently
不論是一位好心市民或清潔工人，把沒有使用指定袋或標籤的廢物拿去棄置的話，隨時都會被視作違法。
A kind - hearted member of the public or cleansing worker who picked up and disposed of waste without using designated bags or labels might be deemed as having breached the law at any time
作為負責任的議員，我們不可以 讓一項含糊不清的《條例草案》草率落實。
As responsible Members we could not allow the hasty implementation of such an ambiguous Bill
因此，在審議階段，自由黨議員一直就《條例草案》內有問題的條文特別是如何界定一些可能發生的情景是否違法向政府提出質詢，但可惜政府一直沒有明確的答案。
Therefore at the scrutiny stage Members from the Liberal Party kept asking the Government questions on the problematic provisions in the Bill―and in particular how to determine whether some possible scenarios are unlawful―but regrettably the Government failed to give a definite answer all along
及後，由於2019年的"黑暴"及2020年開始的新冠狀病毒病疫情引致經濟下滑，各行各業均面對不同程度的經營困難，失業率高企，基層市民苦不堪言，如果在當刻推出垃圾徵費，相信市民一定不同意，故此，政府最終順應民意，押後實施日期，這確是一項德政。
Subsequently due to the economic downturn caused by the riots in 2019 and the COVID - 19 epidemic beginning in 2020 various trades and industries were faced with varying degrees of operation difficulties the unemployment rate remained high and the grass roots were miserable . If MSW charging was introduced at that juncture I am sure that people would definitely disagree . For that reason the Government eventually deferred the implementation date in accordance with the wishes of the people
另外，飲食業界對處理廚餘要另加徵費亦有很大意見，因為飲食業界已有很多不同的徵費，如污水、廢食油的回收及處理等。
This is indeed a benevolent policy . In addition the catering trade has strong views about an extra levy for food waste treatment because it is already subject to many different levies such as those for sewage and the recycling and treatment of used cooking oil
現時政府為了達到廚餘分類的有效落實，以及為政府的廚餘處理廠有足夠的廚餘進行轉廢為能的工作，決定經妥善分類的廚餘由政府車隊免費負責回收，這絕對是一個多贏的方案，是值得支持的。
Now to effectively implement food waste separation and to ensure that the food waste treatment plants of the Government will have sufficient food waste for their waste - to - energy work the Government has decided that the recovery of properly separated food waste will be undertaken by its vehicle fleets free of charge . This is absolutely an all - win proposal worthy of support
隨着立法會因疫情關係讓議員的任期延長一年，原以為不能夠完成的審議工作得以重啟。
With the extension of the term of office of Members of the Legislative Council for one year due to the epidemic the scrutiny work which I thought could not be completed could be restarted
雖然審議《條例草案》的委員會在新一個立法年度有所改變，有委員退出，亦有新委員加入，但大家很合理地只用了兩個會議就《條例草案》作最後政策上的提問，便開始進行逐條審議的工作。
Despite the changes in the committee formed to study the Bill in the new legislative session with members withdrawing and new members joining we only held two meetings to raise final policy questions on the Bill in a very reasonable manner before proceeding with the clause - by - clause examination of the Bill
其間，為了加快《條例草案》的審議，我安排了一個非正式會議，讓各黨派議員就《條例草案》所關注的事情與政府坦誠溝通，然後再經過4輪工作會議，對原有條文進行商討。
During the period to expedite the scrutiny of the Bill I arranged an informal meeting for Members from various parties to engage in candid exchanges with the Government in respect of their matters of concern about the Bill . After that we held four rounds of working meetings to deliberate on the original clauses
我多謝政府聆聽議員的意見，亦接納了自由黨的不少建議，並就《條例草案》作進一步修訂。
I thank the Government for listening to Members views taking on board a number of suggestions made by the Liberal Party and introducing further amendments to the Bill
直到今日，《條例草案》終於能夠在立法會進行二讀。
Today the Bill can finally be read the second time in the Legislative Council
代理主席，自由黨認為政府必須加大力度，做好減廢及回收的工作。
Deputy President the Liberal Party reckons that the Government must step up its efforts to improve waste reduction and recycling
對於政府的"綠在區區"回收點，並配合"綠綠賞"電子積分計劃，自由黨絕對支持。
The Liberal Party absolutely supports the GREEN@COMMUNITY recycling points of the Government which is complemented by the GREEN Electronic Participation Incentive Scheme
市民遞交乾淨的回收物品後，可透過賺取積分兌換生活用品，這正正是一個有效的鼓勵方法，希望藉此改變市民隨意棄置垃圾的行為。
By dropping off clean recyclables people can earn reward points to redeem daily necessities . This is an effective incentive which hopefully can change peoples indiscriminate waste disposal behaviours
為了提高整體的回收率，除了增加更多回收點及加強回收網絡之外，政府亦應考慮增加可回收物品的種類。
To boost the overall recovery rate apart from adding more recycling points and strengthening the recycling network the Government should also consider expanding the variety of recyclables
至於現時設置的廢物分類回收桶，隨着社會的環保意識加強，回收桶的回收量必定有所增加。
As for the existing waste separation bins their recovery quantity has certainly increased as the community develops stronger environmental awareness
在一些人口較密集的地方，回收桶已經常出現爆滿的情況，甚至需要擺放到回收桶的頂部及四周，影響環境衞生。
In some densely - populated areas overflowing recycling bins are a common sight and recyclables are even deposited on top of and around the recycling bins which affect the environmental hygiene
因此，政府應因應各區的需求，調整回收桶的容量及增加營辦商的回收次數。
Hence the Government should adjust the capacity of the recycling bins and increase the frequency of recovery by operators in the light of the demands in respective districts
事實上，如果 回收率能夠提高，回收量達至一定的經濟規模，循環再造產業鏈自然能夠得以持續發展。
As a matter of fact if the recovery rate can be raised such that the recovery quantity reaches a certain economic scale the recycling chain can naturally achieve sustainable development
為免政府匆匆上馬，自由黨要求政府在落實推行《條例草案》前，必須先向立法會交代有關實施都市固體廢物徵費的準備工作進度，經評估當時的經濟環境，以及市民和各持份者對《條例草案》運作的熟悉程度，才正式落實《條例草案》的生效日期。
To avoid hasty implementation by the Government the Liberal Party requests that the Government must first give an account to the Legislative Council of the progress of the preparatory work for the implementation of MSW charging before the implementation of the Bill and formally finalize the commencement date of the Bill only after assessing the prevailing economic environment and how familiar are the public and various stakeholders with the operation of the Bill
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》恢復二讀。
With these remarks Deputy President I support the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill
主席，香港運動員在剛結束的奧林匹克運動會表現卓越，全城歡騰。
President Hong Kong athletes performed brilliantly at the Olympic Games which ended recently and the whole city was jubilant
行政長官隨後表示，政府會大力推進香港體育盛事化、精英化、普及化及產業化的目標。
Subsequently the Chief Executive indicated that the Government would endeavour to achieve the targets of maintaining Hong Kong as a centre for major international sports events supporting elite sports promoting sports in the community and fostering the development of the sports industry
另一方面，第十一屆同樂運動會定於明年11月在香港舉行。
On the other hand the 11th Gay Games have been scheduled to be held in Hong Kong in November next year
主辦單位計劃舉辦36項體育比賽、13項藝術文化活動，以及開幕及閉幕典禮。
The organizers plan to hold 36 sports competitions 13 arts and cultural activities as well as opening and closing ceremonies
屆時來自100個國家及地區的健兒將雲集香港參與該項體壇盛事。
By then athletes from 100 countries and regions will gather in Hong Kong and take part in this major sports event
然而，按現行預訂康樂及文化事務署轄下康樂設施的政策，該主辦單位不屬最優先類別的團體，並須與同屬第二優先類別的其他團體競爭。
However under the prevailing policy on booking recreational facilities under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department LCSD the organizers are not among the organizations belonging to the top priority category and they have to compete with the other organizations which also belong to the second priority category
早前行政長官都特別提到，我們會再深化研究專業化、產業化方面的發展方向。
The Chief Executive highlighted that we will examine in detail the directions of development on promoting the professionalization of sports and the development of the sports industry
我們鼓勵市民多參與體育活動，協助他們培養健康生活模式，提升整體生活質素，在社區建立熱愛體育的文化。
We encourage wider public participation in sports so as to help citizens develop a healthy lifestyle enhance their overall quality of life and foster a strong sports culture in the community
另外，我們培育及支持具潛質的運動員，提供優良的訓練環境及綜合支援服務，讓他們可以在國際體壇爭取佳績。
In addition we nurture and support potential athletes and provide them with quality training environment and integrated support services enabling them to achieve outstanding results in the international sports arena
同時，我們致力推動香港成為國際體育盛事之都，協助體育總會在香港舉辦大型國際賽事，讓市民觀賞高水平的運動競賽。
In parallel we actively promote Hong Kong as a centre for major international sports events and facilitate the national sports associations NSAs in launching major international events in Hong Kong thereby allowing members of the public to appreciate high - level sports competitions
為配合推動體育發展，康樂及文化事務署制訂了"康樂設施的預訂程序"，讓合資格的團體優先預訂康樂設施，以舉辦體育比賽或體育活動。
To complement the promotion of sports development the Leisure and Cultural Services Department LCSD has put in place a booking procedure for recreation and sports facilities allowing eligible organizations to make priority booking of such facilities to organize sports competitions or activities
根據康文署現行的預訂程序，中國香港體育協會暨奧林匹克委員會、體育總會、地區體育會、香港學界體育聯會等團體屬最優先類別，可於12個月前優先預訂所有在繁忙及非繁忙時段的康樂設施。
According to the LCSDs current booking procedure the Sports Federation Olympic Committee of Hong Kong China NSAs district sports associations and the Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation are among the top priority category under which they are allowed to reserve all peak or non - peak slots of recreation and sports facilities up to 12 months in advance
體育總會的屬會、慈善團體、正式協會和法團等則屬第二優先類別，可於3個月前優先預訂在繁忙時段的康樂設施，或於6個月前預訂任何時段的壁球場及在非繁忙時段的體育館主場和活動室。
Affiliated clubs of NSAs charitable organizations bona fide associations and corporations are among the second priority category under which they are allowed to reserve peak slots of recreation and sports facilities up to three months in advance or all slots of squash courts as well as non - peak slots of main arenas and activity rooms of sports centres up to six months in advance
就葉劉淑儀議員的質詢，我現綜合回覆如下﹕ 根據主辦單位提供的資料，將在香港舉辦的第11屆"同樂運動會"獲"同志運動會聯合會"認可，並由"香港同樂運動會"主辦。
My consolidated reply to the question raised by Mrs Regina IP is as follows According to the information provided by the organizer the 11th Gay Games GG2022 to be held in Hong Kong has been recognized by the Federation of Gay Games and will be hosted by the Gay Games Hong Kong
與一般的國際綜合項目運動會不同，"同樂運動會"並非國際奧林匹克委員會、亞洲奧林匹克理事會或任何國際體育聯會所認可的體育賽事；其參加者無須透過選拔參加。
Unlike international multi - sports games in general the GG2022 is not a sports event recognized by the International Olympic Committee the Olympic Council of Asia or any international sports federation . There is no need for participants to go through any selection process
根據康文署的現行做法，"香港同樂運動會"作為一所香港註冊團體，可於6個月前預訂非繁忙時段的體育設施及於3個月前預訂繁忙時段的體育設施。
In accordance with LCSDs current practice the Gay Games Hong Kong may as a locally registered organization reserve non - peak slots and peak slots of sports facilities up to six months and three months in advance respectively
我們得悉主辦單位已向一些大專院校、體育會和會所等申請租用其轄下體育設施以舉辦部分賽事。
We understand that the organizer has approached some tertiary institutions sports clubs club houses etc . for hiring their sports facilities to organize some competitions
此外，主辦單位早前已與體育總會或體育團體商討合作事宜，包括提供裁判、技術支援及預訂場地支援等。
Separately the organizer has discussed with NSAs or sports organizations to explore possible cooperation including the provision of referee services technical support and venue booking support
倘若主辦單位獲得體育總會的支持合辦有關活動，根據現行的政策，可於12個月前預訂有關的體育設施。
If the organizer secures the support of NSAs in co - organizing the relevant activities it may reserve related sports facilities up to 12 months in advance under the current policy
康文署在收到主辦單位及/或相關體育總會的申請後，會按照現行的程序處理。
Upon receipt of the applications from the organizer andor the relevant NSAs LCSD will process their applications in accordance with the current procedure
另外，政府一直致力促進不同性傾向和跨性別人士的平等機會，以期在社會上建立共融、互相尊重、不歧視的文化和價值觀。
Separately the Government is committed to promoting equal opportunities for people of different sexual orientations and gender identities with a view to fostering in the community the culture and values of inclusiveness mutual respect and non - discrimination
相關措施包括透過不同宣傳渠道，例如在公共交通網絡、各類政府處所、互聯網及其他媒體播放宣傳短片，以及在電視和電台播放有關推廣平等對待不同性傾向及跨性別人士的政府宣傳短片和聲帶。此外，亦會透過平等機會資助計劃資助有意義的社區活動計劃，藉以促進不同性傾向人士及跨性別人士享有平等機會。
Relevant measures include broadcasting promotional videos through various channels such as public transport network Government premises Internet and other media broadcasting Announcements in the Public Interest which promote equal opportunities for people of different sexual orientations and transgenders on television and radio and providing funding support to worthwhile community projects which aim at promoting equal opportunities on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity through the Equal Opportunities Funding Scheme
主席，這個運動會在1982年開始舉行，至今已經有30多年歷史，上一次是在巴黎舉行，香港很難得成為第一個獲得這個主辦權的亞洲城市。
President first held in 1982 the Gay Games have over 30 years of history . The last one was held in Paris . The opportunity for Hong Kong to be the first Asian city to host the games is hard to come by
如果我們明年主辦時規模很小，相比以往失色，局長是否同意香港會很丟臉？
If the games we host next year are very small in scale and lacklustre compared with the previous ones does the Secretary agree that Hong Kong will lose face?
因為其實如果我們辦得好，除了推動體育之外，也是推動平等包容，在香港經常被批評打壓人權自由的情況下，是我們一張保障人權的名片。
If held successfully the event not only can promote sports but also equality and inclusion . At a time when Hong Kong is often criticized for suppressing human rights and freedom this will be our credential for the protection of human rights
我希望局長明白這一點。
I hope the Secretary will understand this
