雖然當時對"一地兩檢"有少許討論，但絕對不是很大篇幅的討論。
During the discussion there was some coverage on the co - location arrangement but this was not in great length
當時他們的說法是，政府有這麼多公帑，不應用600億元興建高鐵，這是浪費香港的資源，這是他們的說法。
At that time the opposition camp said while Hong Kong was no lack of money it was not advisable to spend the public coffers on the construction of the 60 billion XRL . They considered the XRL project a mere waste of Hong Kongs resources . This was their argument
他們指這樣會引來跨境執法，誣衊這樣會破壞《基本法》，他們發覺有機可乘，所以把焦點放在反對"一地兩檢"，藉以拖垮高鐵項目。
They can now scare Hong Kong people into believing that such a proposal would lead to cross - boundary law enforcement . They can also discredit the proposal as damaging the Basic Law . By focusing their efforts on opposing the co - location clearance they can simply exploit the proposal to scuttle the XRL project altogether
他們甚至提出高鐵福田口岸"一地兩檢"的方案。
They even throw out a proposal for co - location clearance at the Futian Station
其實正如陳恒鑌議員昨天說得很清楚，根本從沒有跟深圳商討，現在突然提出可以這樣做。
But as Mr CHAN Han - pan explained clearly yesterday they suddenly put forward this Futian proposal despite the fact that there has never been any discussion with Shenzhen on this option
到了今天，我又聽到有些反對派議員說政府的公眾諮詢做得不夠好，應該再以他們認為比較符合心意的方式進行公眾諮詢。
Today I heard once again the argument of the deficiencies in the Governments public consultation work . The opposition Members thus called for a redo of the consultation exercise according to their preferred format
主席，如果他們有預設立場，要拉倒高鐵，無論進行多少次諮詢都不會改變反對派的立場。
President if the opposition Members already have a predetermined stance and wish to put an end to the XRL project no matter how many consultations are to carry out they will just never change their minds
其實這些所謂要求的，他們喜歡的公眾諮詢，是否一種新招數和藉口以拖死這條高鐵？
Actually will the request for the co - called preferred form of public consultation merely a new tactic or pretext to scuttle the XRL project?
他們明知道2018年第三季通車在望，再突然殺出新的要求，又說要多進行一次公眾諮詢，很明顯，這不是想拖死高鐵又是甚麼？
This new request for another public consultation comes despite the fact that they are well aware of the scheduled commissioning of the XRL in the third quarter of 2018 . Obviously the request is nothing but seek to scuttle the XRL project
主席，我們現在拆穿了反對派的西洋鏡，我們看到他們骨子裏從來就是反對高鐵，反對連接內地，隔絕香港與內地的經貿往來。
President we have just exploded the hypocrisy of the opposition camp . Now we can see deep down from their hearts they are against the XRL and the Hong Kong - Mainland connection as well . They just seek to cut off the economic and trade exchanges between the two
最氣憤的是，民主黨自己也坐高鐵，它也舉辦高鐵旅行團。
It is most furious that the Democratic Party itself also takes the XRL . It has also organized XRL tours . It takes the XRL while it opposes the XRL
主席，即使說回最原始的問題，就是經濟效益，容許我說一個例子，其實很多國家都想追上建造這些大型基建。
President I would go back to the most fundamental issue which is the economic benefits of the XRL . Please allow me to illustrate this by an example . Actually many countries are eager to catch up with the construction of large - scale infrastructures
主席，在2017年6月8日，美國總統特朗普當然，大家不一定喜歡特朗普，不要緊，因為這與他個人無關，只與他的政策有關。
President the US President Donald TRUMP announced on 8 June 2017 a plan to overhaul the nations infrastructure . Of course I understand that not everyone here will be fond of Donald TRUMP . It does not matter as it is nothing personal
美國總統特朗普宣布將會進行一項重建美國基建的計劃，這項計劃值得在這裏說一說，就是總統承諾用2,000億美元，以復修整個美國的基建工程，包括工路、機場和交通基建等。
I just want to talk about his policy . The US plan to rebuild its infrastructure is noteworthy . Under the rebuilding plan the US President is committed to invest US200 billion being only part of the total funding to overhaul the nations entire infrastructure including its roads airports and the transport infrastructure
在8月15日，美國白宮再發出一份聲明，說要全面檢視美國基建近年為何不斷被耽誤的情況，再指出原來美國工程延誤平均時間是6年，而這6年的工程延誤其實是要美國負上萬億美元的經濟成本。
On 15 August the White House issued another statement saying that it would comprehensively review the reasons for the continuous delay in infrastructure works . The statement estimates that the typical six - year delay in starting infrastructure projects costs the country up to hundreds of millions US dollar in the economic cost
主席，我主要想在這裏提出，其實香港都需要不斷將自己upgrade。
President I mainly wish to point out that indeed Hong Kong also needs ongoing upgrade
我們興建高鐵就是希望可以為市民提供便捷的交通，也是讓我們可以跟內地、廣東省或其他國內城市的經濟體系更有效結合起來。
The purpose of the construction of the XRL is to provide Hong Kong people with a more convenient transport mode so as to enable the city to more effectively integrate with the economies of the Guangdong province and of other Mainland cities
主席，容許我最後再說一點，就是我看回2009年12月18日的會議紀錄，容許我引述謝偉俊議員的一段發言，我很同意他那段話。
President please allow me to raise the last point . As I reviewed the minutes of meeting on 18 December 2009 I found Mr Paul TSEs remark sensible . Please allow me to quote what he had said that day
他當天說："我覺得我們把太多焦點放在究竟那669億元是否太多錢，或者那流量是否會令我們虧本等。
He said I think we have focused too much on whether the 66.9 billion funding is excessive and if the estimated patronage will make us lose money
但主席，其實我們談論的，是香港在未來10年，甚至更長時間的一個願景。
President the focal point of our discussion should rather be Hong Kongs vision in the coming 10 years or beyond
我們不可以只着眼成本的問題，因為現在說的是如何把香港這個所謂消費市場，由我們本來的700萬左右，在1小時內擴展至差不多三四千萬的市場。如果再過個半小時車程，可能去到8,000萬的市場"。
Instead of merely dwelling on the project cost we should consider how we can expand the Hong Kong consumer market from some 7 million customers originally to 30 million to 40 million customers in a one - hour journey and further to a market of 80 million customers in additional half an hour travelling time
主席，我覺得這說法非常對，因為我們有時候真的要從宏觀的經濟效益的角度來看這件事情。
President I think his remark is very wise . Sometime we would need to consider this issue from a macro perspective and look into its economic benefits
郭家麒議員，請繼續發言。
Dr KWOK Ka - ki if you do not want to continue with your speech please sit down
主席，傳媒有其天職，公眾人士也有其知情權，可觀看"一地兩檢"議案的討論，包括接下來仍未發言議員的發言及政府官員的回應。
President given the bounden duty of the media and the right to know of members of the public the media and the public should observe the discussions of the motion on the co - location arrangement including the speeches of Members who have yet to speak and the replies of government officials
大家可能留意到，這數天有一群公眾人士一直在立法會綜合大樓內觀看會議，並聆聽每位議員的發言。
As Members may have noted over the past several days some members of the public have been observing the proceedings of the meeting in the Legislative Council Complex listening to the speech of every Member
他們關心"一地兩檢"，亦希望議員能夠在這項議案辯論中捍衞"一國兩制"，捍衞香港得來不易的"港人治港"。
They are concerned about the co - location arrangement with the hope that Members can in this motion debate safeguard one country two systems and safeguard Hong Kongs hard - earned Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong
政府想利用立法會的討論，包裝這項不得民心的"一地兩檢"議案......
The Government is seeking to take advantage of the discussion in the Legislative Council to package this unpopular motion on the co - location arrangement
請蔣麗芸議員收回一些冒犯性言詞。
I ask Dr CHIANG Lai - wan to withdraw her offensive remark
請蔣麗芸議員收回她針對我的冒犯性言詞。
I ask Dr CHIANG Lai - wan to withdraw her offensive remark
所以，我一定要澄清，民主黨從來沒有支持"一地兩檢""三步走"這個"割地"方案。
The Democratic Party has never supported the Three - step Process to implement the co - location arrangement and I ask Dr CHIANG to withdraw her remark
黃議員，請停止發言，這不是規程問題。
Dr WONG please stop speaking . This is not a point of order
黃議員，請先坐下，我不能容許議員站起來，藉着提出不屬規程問題的事宜而發表言論。
Dr WONG please sit down first; I cannot allow a Member to stand up to speak about matters other than a point of order
我覺得做人一定要公道一點，他們提及這兩項條文之前，為何不談談第七條？
We must be fair; why have they not referred to Article 7 before referring to these two articles?
大家都清楚，《基本法》第七條訂明，香港特別行政區境內的土地屬於國家所有，由香港特別行政區政府負責管理。
As we all know Article 7 of the Basic Law stipulates that the land within the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR shall be State property and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be responsible for management
國家主席習近平日前亦清晰指出，國家對香港擁有全面管治權。
Recently State President XI Jinping has also made it clear that the State exercises overall jurisdiction over Hong Kong
這並非香港自行管理的事務。
This is not something that Hong Kong administers on its own
香港在1997年已經回歸祖國，假如回歸不包括土地，還包括甚麼？
Hong Kong has already returned to the Motherland in 1997; if the return does not include land what else does it include?
此外，我奉勸各位反對派議員，作為議員，任何時候必須心繫於民，腳踏實地，實事求是，事事從利民角度考慮，這樣才對得起當初選他們進入議會的選民。
Moreover let me advise the opposition Members . As Members we must always be concerned about the public be practical seek truth from facts and take the publics interests into account . Only in this way will we not let those who elected us down
大家都知道，不同媒體或學術機構曾就"一地兩檢"進行多次民調，結果顯示大多數市民支持這個方案。
As we all know different media or academic institutions have conducted a number of opinion polls on the proposed co - location arrangement and the results showed that most people supported this proposal
主席，我明白有些反對派議員不喜歡到內地，亦抗拒大陸化，因而反對興建高鐵及現在提出的出入境安排，但他們根本是"為反而反"，沒有顧及經常前往內地的大多數香港市民的需要。
President I understand that some opposition Members do not like to travel to the Mainland and they resist Mainlandization so they oppose the construction of XRL and the proposed immigration arrangements . However they opposed simply for the sake of opposing and they have not taken into account the needs of most Hong Kong people who frequently travel to the Mainland
他們不乘坐高鐵就不讓別人選擇一個便利的方案，這種行為真的很自私。
Since they will not take high - speed rail they will not let others choose a convenient proposal . This is indeed a selfish act
因此，我希望反對派議員能夠放棄凡事政治化、凡事必反的觀念，切切實實為香港的經濟發展及市民的方便做點好事，支持政府的議案。
Therefore I hope that opposition Members will abandon the concepts of politicizing and opposing everything and support the Governments motion . They should conscientiously do something favourable to the economic development of Hong Kong and for the convenience of the public . I so submit
謹此陳辭，多謝主席。
Thank you President
我剛才說到，鄭汝樺在1個月後重申，沒有"一地兩檢"不等於沒有高速。
I have just said Eva CHENG reiterated one month later that the failure to implement the co - location arrangement did not necessarily compromise the speed of the rail link
而在2016年1月8日，律政司和運輸及房屋局向立法會提供的文件亦清楚訂明："儘管在西九龍總站實施'一地兩檢'的安排，但是不會將西九龍總站內的任何範圍剔除於香港特區的區域範圍之外。
Then on 8 January 2016 the Department of Justice along with the Transport and Housing Bureau jointly submitted a document to the Legislative Council . The document clearly states Even if the co - location of the CIQ facilities of the HKSAR and the Mainland at the WKT is implemented no area within the WKT will be carved out of the HKSARs territory . This sends out a very important message
"這是很重要的，大家請記住，是不會將西九龍總站內的任何範圍剔除於香港特區的區域範圍之外。
We have to keep in mind that this document says no area within the WKT will be carved out of the HKSARs territory
我想問大家，如何得到社會的同意？
I want to ask Members how the Government can do so
但是，在整體社會上，何時曾進行詳細的論述和討論呢？
Has society at large ever been engaged in any detailed discussion on the issue?
從2010年高鐵撥款到去年政府提出此方案，前後7年時間，政府完全沒有進行任何諮詢。
The Government has not conducted any consultation throughout the seven - year period from its application for XRL funding in 2010 to its release of the co - location proposal last year
到了目前，一些民間團體想約見官員，官員說不會見面，沒有意思，浪費時間。
In recent months the government officials have even rejected to meet with community organizations saying that this kind of meeting was meaningless and a waste of time
原來只是官員與官員溝通，兩地的官員溝通，以及官員和建制派溝通。
But with whom she would like to communicate? . After all the communication she has advocated is the one between government officials between Hong Kong and Mainland officials and between government officials and pro - establishment Members
有跟市民大眾溝通嗎？
Has the Government ever sought to communicate with the public?
其實無需多說，大家也有目共睹，一直以來，政府只不過是用一個謊言蓋過另一個謊言。
Actually I need not elaborate further . All of us can see that the Government always uses a lie to cover up another
最嚴重的問題是，現時政府的西九站"一地兩檢"安排違反《基本法》。
All these are deceitful and hypocritical . The most serious problem is that the current WKS co - location arrangement breaches the Basic Law
其實這個問題並非今天才存在。
Actually this problem does not emerge today
我剛才提及，在7年前決定興建高鐵時，已經有很多議員就此質詢政府，但政府避而不答，到現在仍不肯正面面對這個問題。
As I have just mentioned many Members did query the lawfulness of the arrangement as early as seven years ago when the Government decided to construct the XRL . However for years the Government has kept beat around the bush . Even today it still refuses to address this problem squarely
政府最了不起的便是把曲的說成直的，把違法的說成是合法，盡量把視線轉移。
The Government is good at portraying wrongs as rights and treating unlawful proposals as lawful . It is also an expert of diverting public attention
但是，問題在於政府只說了一半，因為深圳灣屬於內地區域，當然可以 實施"一地兩檢"，又怎能跟西九站相提並論？
But this is only half of the truth . The Shenzhen Bay co - location clearance is of course feasible because it is located within the Mainland territorial boundary . But WKS is inside Hong Kong
第二，政府更引用《基本法》第二十條，指中央政府可授予香港政府其他權力。
Second the Government has invoked Article 20 of the Basic Law which provides for the Central Governments granting of other powers to the Hong Kong Government
把其他權力說成甚麼也可以，甚至把其他權力說成是放棄西九站的管轄權，讓內地官員執法，這不是割地自閹又是甚麼？
The other powers can simply be anything and can even be interpreted as surrendering Hong Kongs jurisdiction over WKS to Mainland officials . If this is not the cession of land and self - castration what is it then?
這次政府引用《基本法》第二十條，我真的很擔心，政府日後可以把甚麼事也說成是其他權力，凌駕一切，我想問大家，還會有"高度自治"嗎？
The invoking of Article 20 of the Basic Law really worries me a lot . I fear that the Government can then interpret the other powers as anything in the future making it override all other laws . I want to ask Members if Hong Kong can still enjoy a high degree of autonomy under this circumstance
《基本法》清楚訂明，除國防和外交外，所有香港事務也由特區政府自行處理，這才是"高度自治"，行使其他權力不是削弱《基本法》又是甚麼？
The Basic Law clearly states that save for defence and foreign affairs the SAR Government shall administer on its own all affairs relating to Hong Kong . Only through the implementation of this provision can the city enjoy a high degree of autonomy
陳帆局長表示，西九龍站"一地兩檢"是唯一的方案，如果在深圳福田站設置口岸，等於要求人家把深圳站拆卸重建，是強人所難。
Secretary Frank CHAN has explained that the WKS co - location clearance was the only proposal for XRL because if we adopted the Futian Station co - location option we would need to request the Shenzhen authorities to demolish and redevelop the current Shenzhen Station . This would make things difficult for others
對於社會上出現這麼多爭議和質疑，政府完全不聆聽，不一起建立共識。
The Government completely turns a deaf ear to the many controversies and queries in society
很簡單，因為大家看到民意已開始慢慢逆轉。
This is simply because the public opinion is gradually reversing
因此，市民不斷質疑這個政府是否一個真真正正有民意基礎的政府。
Hence they keep on questioning if this Government really has the public mandate
我相信，民意逆轉是政府唯一害怕的東西，因此便要草草透過這個議會進行這個假諮詢，希望得出假共識，以便向社會及中央說已得到議會同意，可以實行"一地兩檢"方案。
I believe the reversal of the public opinion is the only thing that the Government fears . Therefore it has to hastily conduct this bogus consultation through the Council . The Government wishes to produce a bogus consensus to enable it to advise the Hong Kong society and the Central Authorities that this co - location arrangement has the approval of the Council and thus can be implemented
除此以外，已沒有任何觀點可以值得政府草草提交方案予立法會，更要擱置印花稅討論，以進行"一地兩檢"方案討論。
Other than this there is nothing which can tempt the Government to shelve the stamp duty discussion and hastily submit this co - location proposal to the Legislative Council for discussion
主席，今天面對這個不清不楚，把香港"一國兩制"及"高度自治"的精神斷送的這個"割地兩檢"方案。
President the proposal laid before us is ambiguous and is set to ruin the spirits of one country two systems and a high degree of autonomy
為了香港市民的利益和權益，我們會堅決反對"一地兩檢"方案。
In the interests and rights of Hong Kong people we are firmly against his cession - based co - location arrangement proposal
同時，我強烈要求政府立即就高鐵西九龍站的通關方案進行公眾諮詢，並在不損害《基本法》的前提下，開放不同方案供市民討論和選擇。
Meanwhile I strongly request the Government to immediately conduct a public consultation on the WKS co - location clearance proposal . Without prejudicing the Basic Law the Government should release different proposals for public discussion and selection
這是基本底線，絕不能退讓，因為對於一個由香港人的血汗錢所建成，用作服務香港市民的交通工具，我們有責任讓香港人有選擇的權利，而不是政府與內地自行"密密斟"便算數。
This is our bottom line and we will not give in . The rail link is funded by Hong Kong peoples hard - earned money and is to serve Hong Kong people . We have the responsibility to give Hong Kong people the right to choose instead of just letting the Government secretly make a deal with the Mainland
主席，政府在今年7月25日公布"一地兩檢"的方案，為了讓方案盡快得到立法會的辯論及表態支持，較早前突然抽起《2017年印花稅條例草案》，讓路予無約束力的"一地兩檢"議案。
President the Government announced the co - location proposal on 25 July this year . In order to allow Members to expeditiously discuss and declare their support for the proposal the Government suddenly withdrew the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 to give way to a non - legally binding motion debate on the co - location arrangement
由於現時議事廳裏建制派議員有超過一半，政府議案得到通過的機會極高。
With more than half of the Members in the Chamber belonging to the pro - establishment camp the passage of the motion is highly likely
所以，在這樣的情況之下，不少人批評政府抽起《2017年印花稅條例草案》的做法有問題。
In this respect many people criticize the Government for its questionable withdrawal of the stamp duty bill
特首林鄭月娥月初公布在立法會提出此項無約束力議案的時候表示，"一地兩檢"的方案已經有兩個月的醞釀及討論，並引述民意調查指，支持方案的市民較多，認為是時候作出總結。
In announcing the Governments plan to introduce this non - legally binding motion to the Legislative Council early this month Chief Executive Carrie LAM said the co - location proposal has been mooted and discussed for two months . She also quoted public opinion polls as saying that people in support of the proposal have outnumbered those against it . Hence she considered it was time to conclude the public discussion
然而，問題是，對於一個如此重大的方案，只有兩個月的醞釀及討論，亦沒有進行正式的公眾諮詢，反對聲音又相當大，不少人質疑政府有否足夠的民意授權。
Yet problems arise exactly because this significantly important proposal has only been mooted and discussed for two months . Despite the strong voices of opposition there has not been any formal public engagement exercise . This leads quite a number of people to question if the Government really has sufficient public mandate
如果政府不斷用現時的方式硬推，不處理民間的分歧，如果出現了一些壞影響及惡果的話，會由甚麼人承受呢？
If the Government insists on pursuing its current hard - selling tactic and paying no attention to the division of public opinion who is to bear the bad effects or undesirable consequences which may arise from the proposal
政府會否為了達到目的而抵觸《基本法》，甚至破壞"一國兩制"的精神呢？
Will the Government violate the Basic Law or even ruin the spirit of one country two systems in order to achieve its purposes?
我相信這些也是要認真看待的。
I think all these warrant our serious consideration
本來議案通過之後，政府才會啟動"三步走"的方案，逐步落實法律程序。
According to the original schedule the Government would kick off the Three - step Process after the passage of this motion to allow for the implementation of the legal procedures step by step
"三步走"包括第一步，香港特區政府用1個月時間與內地建 立"一地兩檢"的《合作安排》，然後進入第二步，12月由人大常委會作出決定、批准及確認《合作安排》。
Step One of the Three - step Process is for the Mainland and the HKSAR to reach a Co - operation Arrangement in relation to the implementation of the co - location arrangement in one month . It will then proceed to Step Two for NPCSC to approve and endorse the Co - operation Arrangement by making a Decision in December
最後，預算明年2月進入第三步，即香港特區透過本地立法，在立法會展開首讀、二讀，並且在7月休會之前希望能夠三讀通過"一地兩檢"的本地法案，期望高鐵香港段可以在明年第三季度通車。
Step Three the last step is for HKSAR to carry out the local legislation in next February . This involves the Governments submission of the co - location bill to the Legislative Council for First and Second Readings in the hope that the bill would be third read in July before the legislatures summer recess with a view to enabling the commissioning of the XRL Hong Kong Section in the third quarter next year
不過，特首數天前竟然說，不排除會同步啟動"一地兩檢""三步走"，理由是通車時間緊迫。
Surprisingly the Chief Executive told us several days ago that she did not rule out the possibility of kicking start the Three - step Process of the co - location arrangement in parallel as time for the XRL commissioning is running out
政府現時公布的是唯一的方案，要立法會立即表態支持，實際上就是要求立法會做一個橡皮圖章，為何不讓大家有一個機會好好的討論呢？
By introducing only one proposal and calling on the Legislative Council to immediately express its support the Government actually treats the legislature as the rubber stamp . Why does the Government not allow us to have sensible discussions?
自從政府公布"一地兩檢"方案以來，民間有不少人士十分認真的研究政府的方案，有些人最後認為政府的方案嚴重違反《基本法》，包括《基本法》的條文及"一國兩制"的精神。
Right after the Governments release of the co - location proposal many members of the community have seriously studied the proposal . Some of them have concluded that the Governments proposal substantially violates the Basic Law for it breaches both the provisions and the spirit of one country two systems under the Basic Law
有些人亦提出了一些替代方案，好像內地口岸"一地兩檢"、"兩地兩檢"、"車上檢"、西九龍"一地兩檢"，即內地人員只負責海關、入境及檢疫，我覺得這是很值得探討的，還有北上預檢等。
Some have put forward alternative proposals . They include the co - location clearance at the Mainland; the separate - location clearance; the on - board clearance; and the co - location CIQ clearance at West Kowloon Station WKS limiting the powers of Mainland officials to the conduct of customs immigration and quarantine procedures . I think these options deserve further study
當時曾談及車站設在新界北部，這樣整個城市規劃又可能會不同了，不過那當然已成為歷史。
This might make a different to the overall town planning though it is history now
值得注意的是，不少反對政府方案的人其實並不反對香港連接內地高鐵網絡，對"一地兩檢"本身未必一定反對。
It is noteworthy that many people though against the Governments proposal actually may not necessarily oppose Hong Kongs linkage with the Mainland high - speed rail network and the idea of co - location clearance itself . They are not necessarily opponents of the XRL
但是，他們反對政府提出"一地兩檢"的方案，原因是還有很多重要的魔鬼細節。
They are against the Governments co - location proposal because of their fear of the many devils in the details
因此，不少聲音要求政府在這個重大及極富爭議的問題上，第一，提供全面而準確的資料。
As this issue is important and controversial there are voices in society urging the Government to first provide comprehensive and accurate information and second to formally conduct a public consultation
第二，進行正式的公眾諮詢，讓公眾對所有方案，包括政府提出的方案，有更全面的認識，然後進行認真的比較，了解各方案的優點及缺點，例如經濟效益、車程時間、方便程度、工程造價、可行性及其他影響，從而向政府表達意見。
The Government should allow the public to get a solid grasp of all proposals including the Government proposal . The public can thus seriously compare the advantages and disadvantages of various proposals on the basis of their economic benefits travelling times convenience project costs feasibility and the other impacts so that they can give their views to the Government
政府收集了市民的整體意見之後，提出一個最符合民情的方案，我相信這是更重要的。
After collecting the overall views in society the Government can then come up with a proposal perfectly in line with peoples aspiration . I think this is more important
我們亦知道，"一地兩檢"的問題其實是，我們已等待很久，但政府這麼遲才提出方案，卻要大家如此快速地決定，這是一種不公道的做法。
As we all know the problem of the co - location proposal is that it is long overdue . The Government does not release its proposal until recently but then it requires us to decide in haste . This is utterly unfair
眾多人提出了眾多意見及要求之後，無論特首林鄭月娥或是負責這件事的運輸及房屋局局長陳帆，對於反對意見、替代方案、要求諮詢等均不屑一顧。
Many people have raised a lot of views and requests but Chief Executive Carrie LAM and Secretary for Transport and Housing Frank CHAN the official in charge of this project do not care to pay the slightest attention to the opposing views alternative proposals and requests for consultation
他們更說替代方案的構思無新意、不切實際等，亦不會與持不同意見的團體見面，只硬推政府的方案。
They despise these alternative proposals for their lack of new ideas and their impracticability and refuse to meet with opposition organizations . The Government puts all efforts on hard selling its own proposal
我們從電視看到很多相關的廣告等，經常說便民、有利香港長遠發展等。
We can see frequent broadcast of TV Announcement of Public Interests highlighting how the proposal would bring convenience and long - term development benefits to Hong Kong
但政府單方 面說出來的不一定是事實，事實應該經得起辯論、討論。
This one - side argument does not necessarily tell the truth for the truth should withstand the test of debate and discussion
不做諮詢、市民看不到全面的理據，怎能夠令到市民信服呢？
Without engaging the public in the process how can the public have the full grasp of the justifications and how can they be convinced?
主席，正如我昨天在辯論中止待續議案時指出，負責任的政府必須在重大及具爭議的事情上，進行全面的諮詢。
President I pointed out during the adjournment motion debate yesterday that as a responsible government it must conduct comprehensive consultation on every important and controversial issue
