上星期，林太表示政府已經為自資院校學生提供資助，便當解決了香港的大專教育問題，我並不認同。
In her statement last week Mrs LAM says that the Government has already provided assistance to students studying at self - financing institutions . She seems to think that she has already tackled the problem of tertiary education
如果政府仍不理會這些問題，絕對不是尊重院校自主的表現，而是對院校自主的最大諷刺。
I disagree . If the Government continues to turn a blind eye to these problems it is not acting in a way that respects institutional autonomy . Its inaction is the biggest irony to institutional autonomy
因為大家看到，由數碼港以至香港科學園，很多時候，在發展地產基建時會以創科、科技及數碼為名發展不少地產項目。
Because as we can see from the Cyberport to the Hong Kong Science Park in the course of infrastructural development the developers often develop quite a number of real estate projects in the name of innovation and technology science and digital technologies
主席，如果我們真的要鼓勵創科發展，便應如莫乃光議員所說，要有一套整全的創科政策。
Chairman if we really want to encourage the development of innovation and technology we should have a comprehensive innovation and technology policy as advised by Mr Charles Peter MOK
所謂的創科政策，並非僅是撥出一塊地作發展創科之用那麼簡單。
By this innovation and technology policy it should not be as simple as allocating a piece of land for the development of innovation and technology
大家試想，很多電腦及科技公司並非設在數碼港或科學園當然也是有的但很多均位於觀塘、荔枝角及鰂魚涌，這些地區反而是創科的集中地，為何會這樣？
Let us think about it . Many computer and technology companies are not located in the Cyberport or the Science Park . Of course there are some companies in those two places but many of them are located in Kwun Tong Lai Chi Kok and Quarry Bay forming clusters of innovation technology companies
該報告不單有關在囚人士面對的處境，更提到懲教署人員面對的處境，我們也很希望能改善他們的待遇。
The report not only describes the situation faced by the prisoners but also mentions the situation faced by CSD staff whose treatment should also be improved in our view
首先，香港警察與民眾比例是亞洲區內最高，根據早前的數字，是僅次於俄羅斯、土耳其、意大利及葡萄牙這4個犯罪率較高的城市，每222人便有1名警察。
First of all the Police to population ratio of Hong Kong is the highest in Asia . According to the figures released earlier with one police officer to 222 people Hong Kong was preceded only by Russia Turkey Italy and Portugal four cities with higher crime rates
可是，近年來，警察人數大幅增加，已增至每208名香港人便有1名警察，成為實際人數最多的政府部門。
However in recent years the number of police officers has greatly increased to reach a ratio of one police officer to 208 Hong Kong people and the Police Force has become a government department with the largest number of officers
過去數年，香港整體罪案數字不斷下降，但警方的紀律人員人數在4年內上升了7%。
Over the past few years the overall crime rate in Hong Kong has been decreasing whereas the number of disciplinary officers has risen 7 % within four years
究竟警務處是否有必要增加1,057個職位呢？
Is it not necessary for the Police Force to give an account on these additional 1 057 posts?
我從警方向立法會財務委員會提交的文件留意到，原因主要是為了提升緊急應變及處理大型事件的能力，強化香港的反恐能力和準備，為港珠澳大橋、廣深港高速鐵路西九龍總站、沙田至中環線、蓮塘/香園圍口岸等項目提供人手支援，以及支援反詐騙協調中心的運作。
From the paper submitted by the Police Force to the Finance Committee I notice that the reasons are mainly for enhancing the capability of emergency response and handling major incidents strengthening Hong Kongs counter - terrorism capability and preparedness providing manpower support to projects such as the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Sha Tin to Central link and LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point as well as supporting the operation of the Anti - Deception Coordination Centre
主席，提升緊急應變及處理大型事件的能力由佔領運動至今已4年，每年警方也以這個原因來增加軍備及人手。
Chairman it has been four years since the Occupy Central movement and in each of these four years the Police Force also used this reason of enhancing the capability of emergency response and handling major incidents for strengthening its arms and manpower
其實，警察近年濫捕及濫告已將公民社會嚴重打壓，近年亦甚少發生警民衝突事件。
In fact the Police have already ruthlessly suppressed the civic society through their indiscriminate arrests and prosecutions in recent years and clashes between people and the Police also scarcely happened in these years
在2017年，有78個人因公眾集會及遊行而被捕，只有13人被檢控。
In 2017 78 people were arrested due to public meetings and public processions and only 13 people were prosecuted
這樣的數字很難說服市民，需要大幅增加人手，處理所謂的大型事件。
With such figures it is difficult to convince the public of the Police Forces need to increase its manpower drastically to deal with some so - called major incidents
事實上，每年不斷擴大警察的人數，但在訓練、監察、人事管理上是否能夠有足夠的配套配合呢？
In fact while there is year - over - year growth in the number of police officers is there sufficient support in terms of training monitoring and manpower management?
難怪近年警隊的質素不斷下降，又要取消體力檢查，所以在街上看到很多警務人員的體格可能也未必符合當初的要求。
No wonder in recent years the calibre of police officers has been declining . With the lowering of the physical fitness standard we notice that many police officers on the street may not be able to reach the previous physical fitness standard
現在警務處要額外增加1,057名警員，究竟我們如何能夠衡工量值呢？
The Police Force now asks to create 1 057 additional posts . How can we tell that this is a value - for - money exercise?
我們不曾看到保安局就這些事情，向立法會作出詳盡的交代。
We have never seen the Security Bureau giving any detailed account of these matters to the Legislative Council
我要首先澄清，很抱歉，希望他大人有大量。
I need to clarify in the first place . I am very sorry and hope that he would not mind about that
例如我提出，為何金發局到了今時今日，也可以製作放寬房地產如此扭曲的研究報告，最後令證券及期貨事務監察委員會放寬條例，促成領展的問題呢？
For example how could FSDC come up with such a twisted study report in favour of the real estate sector? . Because of this the rules concerned were finally relaxed by the Securities and Futures Commission which attributed to the problems related to the Link
每一位自稱關心領展、監察領展的議員，包括建制派的各位議員也應該回答我這個問題，如果是反領展的，便應該一起支持我提出削減金發局的分目。
Those Members who claim themselves to be concerned about the Link problems and have an eye on the Link including Members from the pro - establishment camp should respond to my question . If they are against the Link they should support my amendment in respect of the subhead to cut the expenditure for FSDC
我現在返回討論選舉事務處，我要求削減大約相當於2018-2019年度選舉事務處核實選民登記資料相關的預算開支，總額是6,100萬元。
I am now back to the discussion on REO . My amendment seeks to deduct a total amount of 61 million which is approximately equivalent to the estimated expenditure for verification of voter registration particulars by REO for 2018 - 2019
主席，我提出這項議題，是因為選舉事務處近年出現的各種問題。
Chairman I move this amendment because of the various problems with REO in recent years
在北京威權壓境的情況下，選舉的公正性受到嚴重質疑，往往成為不同價值角力的場所。
Under the tremendous pressure from the Beijing authorities the justice of election in Hong Kong has been seriously called into question and an election is often turned into a wrestling ground of different values
過去一年，我們曾舉行行政長官選舉和立法會選舉，兩個選舉均出現嚴重的政治風波，而選舉事務處在這些爭議中所扮演的重要角色，是責無旁貸的。
In the Chief Executive Election and the Legislative Council Election held last year there were serious political controversies in which REO was undisputedly playing a significant role
當然，在討論這項 修正案時，很難只討論核實選民登記資料這方面，主席，你要求我們一目一項的討論，但其實我們在提出修正案時，也十分希望大體上評價一下選舉事務處的表現。
When discussing this amendment it is of course difficult to merely discuss the verification of voter registration particulars . Chairman you told us that our discussion should be on the basis of one amendment to one subhead . But in fact when we proposed the amendments we also want to make an overall assessment of REOs performance
事件令全城譁然，為何一個只有1,200人參與的特首選舉，有關電腦中會載有全港選民的資料呢？
This incident caused a public uproar . In a Chief Executive Election with only the participation of 1 200 people why would the computers contain the personal particulars of all voters in Hong Kong?
在五步一哨的嚴密保安之下，為何有人可以進入一間應該已經上鎖的房間？
In a highly secure and guarded environment how could someone enter a room which was supposed to be locked?
如此重要的資料，放在一個房間裏，但又不是放入儲物櫃之中，為何選舉事務處本身需要這麼多人力物力，但是在亞洲國際博覽館場地卻沒有安排保安人員在附近看守呢？
Why would the computers containing such important information be placed inside a room instead of stored in the cabinet? . Why would REO need so much manpower and so many resources itself but no security guard was deployed in the vicinity of the AsiaWorld - Expo venue?
對於以上疑問，政府只是支吾以對，完全無法令市民釋疑。
To the above queries the Government just prevaricated in its reply utterly unable to allay public worries
在今年立法會選舉期間，我所參選的港島區出現"種票"疑雲，例如西營盤第一街和第二街的部分住戶接獲並非屬於他們的投票通知書，懷疑有人"種票"。
During the Legislative Council Election this year there were suspected vote - rigging cases in my contesting Hong Kong Island constituency . For instance some households in First Street and Second Street of Sai Ying Pun have received election notices which did not belong to them and vote - rigging was suspected
其中一名住戶的兒子盧先生表示，其母住在第二街單位30年，從未接獲不屬於住戶的投票通知書，擔心母親的住址被挪用。
The son of a household Mr LO said that his mother has been living in Second Street for 30 years and has never received an election notice not belonged to the household . He was worried that the address of his mother has been unduly used
與此同時，我們也看到一些案例，有些選民喪失選民資格，其實他們一直希望繼續可以投票的，但忽然喪失權利。
At the same time we also notice that in some cases the voters have lost their eligibility . In fact they want to continue to vote but have suddenly lost their eligibility
我們在抽查的過程中，是否應該有改進的地方呢？
In the course of random inspection are there areas which should be improved?
此外，我們看到選舉事務處現時所做的事情，引發出現所謂的"DQ"事件，即取消立法會補選參選人資格的事情。
Besides we see what REO has done in triggering the incident of disqualifying certain candidates running for the Legislative Council by - election
其實這些事件均可證明，選舉事務處要改善的地方，簡直是罄竹難書。
In fact these incidents can prove that there are countless areas which warrant improvement by REO
主席，我沒有辦法在我有限的時間內，逐一介紹所有我提出的修正案，但我已大約就不同範疇提出我的看法，以及我提出修正案的原因。
Chairman it is difficult for me to go through all my amendments within limited speaking time but I have briefly given my views on different areas and the reasons for moving my amendments
我要重申，我們提出修正案，其實是希望在立法會現行制度和局限之中，能夠做到最好，我們無法要求增加預算開支，我當然希望這樣做。
I have to reiterate that we move amendments because we all want to do our best under the existing system and restraints of the Legislative Council . We are unable to ask for any increase in the estimated expenditure which I surely hope that we are allowed to do so
但是，當我們提出意見，提出如何改善不同部門，令他們做得更好的時候，我只能夠透過削減分目的手段來提出我的意見。
Nevertheless when we suggest how various departments can be improved so that they can do better we can only voice our views through the means of asking to deduct their expenditures in respect of the subheads concerned
主席，我十分希望稍後不同議員就修正案發言時，可以得到充裕的時間，表達他們的觀點。
Chairman I really hope that Members who speak later on the amendments can be given sufficient time to express their views
就這兩項修正案，我認為非常合理。
I think these two amendments are very reasonable . Let me first talk about the FBL
修正案集中削減1億多元，大約相當於2018-2019年度創科局創科基金的預算開支。
The amendment seeks to cut more than 100 million an amount roughly equivalent to the estimated expenditure on the FBL in 2018 - 2019
為何我認為有需要削減呢？
Why do I think there is a need for such a cut?
該項目計劃書與智能手機程式的研發有關，項目程式名為"八段錦健康遊戲"，我記得該程式是推廣八段錦的大家應理解甚麼是八段錦。
The said project titled Baduanjin Health Programme Game is related to research and development of a smartphone app . I can recall that the app is to promote Baduanjin―you should know what Baduanjin is
該程式目的是"透過人工智能手機應用程式/遊戲，鼓勵長者鍛鍊八段錦，培養健康的生活模式。
The purpose of the app is to promote healthy lifestyle and encourage the elderly to practice Baduanjin exercise through a mobile appgame of artificial intelligence
" 大家可能覺得不可思議，長者日常已有很多機會接觸八段錦，那麼如何利用手機學習八段錦招式，難道要他們看着電話來學習八段錦嗎？
You may find it unthinkable because the elderly have plenty of chances to run into Baduanjin in their daily life and so how do they use their cell phones to learn the moves of Baduanjin? . Do you want them to practice Baduanjin by staring at their cell phones?
這其實已有少許"太陽能電筒"的意味，代理主席，但更進一步的情況是，這項目獲創科基金撥款450萬元，研發一個智能手機App，教導、推廣及鼓勵長者學習"手機八段錦"。
This indeed has some resemblance of a solar energy flashlight . Deputy Chairman what is more is that this project has obtained a grant of 4.5 million from the FBL to develop a smartphone app in order to teach and encourage the elderly to practice cell phone Baduanjin
例如未來推廣《中華人民共和國國歌法》，我可否申請一個項目撥款1,000萬元，推廣四五年，教大家唱正統北方口音的國歌，這樣已可以申撥1,000萬元？
For instance if I promote the National Anthem Law of the Peoples Republic of China in the future can I apply for funding allocation of 10 million for a project that would last for four or five years to teach everyone to sing the national anthem in orthodox northern accent? . Can I apply for funding allocation of 10 million simply in this way?
此外，該項目的申請組織是某地區的街坊福利事務促進會，旨在教育長者利用手機學習八段錦。
In addition the organization that has applied for funding for the project is a neighborhood welfare advancement association in a certain local district and its aim is to educate the elderly on how to use their cell phones to practice Baduanjin
代理主席，可惜楊偉雄局長不在席，否則我真的想問他，究竟手機App加八段錦再加長者，是怎樣的創新科技呢？
Deputy Chairman it is too bad that Secretary Nicholas Yang is not present otherwise I would really want to ask him what type of innovation and technology we will have by lumping together smartphone app Baduanjin and the elderly
當然，你可能會說也有其他有意義的項目，的確如此，我其實也剛推出一個新的手機App，所以我要作利益申報。
Of course you may say that there are other projects which are meaningful and indeed there are; in fact I have just launched a new smartphone app therefore I need to make a declaration of interest
所以，第一，我認為創科基金不應花這些錢，撥給創科局這1億元其實在今年的財政預算案是微不足道的數目，但局方正有500多億至600億元投放在這類如此無聊的手機App上。
Therefore first I think the FBL should not spend this money . In fact this sum of 100 million that is allocated to the Innovation and Technology Bureau is a negligible amount in this years Budget but just because the Innovation and Technology Bureau has 50 billion to 60 billion at hands it throws money on such a senseless smartphone app
這個計劃很現實的，是為了科技園公司和數碼港這一兩個所謂創科基地而實施的。
This scheme has a practical and immediate role to play; it is implemented for HKSTPC and Cyberport the so - called IT bases
代理主席，這是和局長的表現有關的。
Deputy Chairman this is related to the performance of the Secretary
我相信很多人也不明白甚麼是單位制，就是私人企業或民間企業要承包生老病死，有少許類似珠三角口岸，即深圳、東莞等，農民工在1980年代因改革開放，由內部遷往沿海，慢慢......代理主席，我明白，我明白......
I think many people do not know what a system of unit is . It is a system in which private or private - sector enterprises when engaging employees pledge to take care of everything of their daily life nominally from cradle to grave; it resembles somewhat the situation in the Pearl River Delta that is in places like Shenzhen and Dongguan the places to which peasant workers moved in the 1980s due to reform and opening up as they moved from the interior to the coastal regions gradually Deputy Chairman I know I understand
事實上，香港的私人公司或商業機構，說到底是建基於我們的自由和生產力，而這兩項事物是經由自由市場自己調節的。
In fact Hong Kongs private companies or commercial establishments are in the final analysis built upon our freedoms and productivity which are adjusted by the free market itself
但現在的創科概念是，拿了香港人的地和資金建科學園，還不止，然後找一個計劃招攬內地人才來香港。
But the current IT concept is that it takes the land and money from the people of Hong Kong to build this Science Park; not only that it devises a plan to recruit Mainland talent to work in Hong Kong
在科學園開設的公司，政府要負責3餐食宿，甚至提供創新斗室給他們居住，那就是單位制。
For the companies that will open in the Science Park the Government will provide three meals and accommodation for the workers and will even provide InnoCell for them to live in . That is the system of unit
所以在修正案的部分，我認為要削減創科局局長的工資，因為他現在的工作並不是創科局應有的本分。
Therefore when we come to the amendment I think there is a need to cut the pay for the Secretary for Innovation and Technology because his work now is not the proper work that should be done by the Innovation and Technology Bureau
便是推動科學、推動科學精神。
Its role is to promote science and scientific spirit
現在創科局的做法是，使用香港人的土地，香港人的金錢，招攬外國的公司，我反過來問，香港本地的IT公司能否從這計劃獲得任何幫助或得益 呢？
The practice by the Innovation and Technology Bureau now is to use the land of the Hong Kong people and spend the money of the Hong Kong people to solicit foreign companies . I wish to ask on the contrary whether the local IT companies in Hong Kong can receive any assistance or benefits from this scheme
局長的說法是，這個計劃是在招攬3名內地專才後，便要在香港聘請1個本地人和2個實習生，好像在鼓勵科學園的企業使用本地人才，事實上有多少本地IT公司需要這個計劃來聘請本地人？
The Secretarys explanation was that the scheme requires applicant companies to employ one local person plus two local interns for every three Mainland professionals admitted as if the scheme was encouraging the enterprises in the Science Park to use local talents . In fact how many local IT firms need this scheme to hire local persons?
香港是聘請香港市價的IT人，但局長說透過科技人才入境計劃，內地的IT人才可以特快來到香港。
Hong Kong hires IT professionals at the market prices in Hong Kong . But the Secretary said that IT professionals on the Mainland can come to Hong Kong speedily through the Technology Talent Admission Scheme
我們不會"包生仔"，我們不會像單位制般運作，照顧員工生活上的起居飲食，但政府現時擔心沒有人才來科學園，於是便透過這個計劃，給內地公司一些方便，最終的實際效果是淘汰香港人。
We will not pledge a baby as you let nature take its course nor will we operate like a unit and take care of everything in the daily life of our employees . But the Government is worried that no talent would come to the Science Park so it provides convenience to Mainland companies through the scheme but the eventual and actual outcome would be Hong Kong people falling into disuse
現時不論是創科基金或創科局，說來說去也是手機App而已，但正如我剛才舉出的例子，創科基金撥款450萬元給老人家學習八段錦，是多麼不符合正常智慧。
At present regardless of the FBL or the Innovation and Technology Bureau the thing that is being said over and over again is nothing more than smartphone app but just as what I have shown in my example it was a far cry from the normal wisdom when the FBL allocated 4.5 million for the elderly to practice Baduanjin
所以，我支持修正案編號39和40。
Therefore I support amendment numbers 39 and 40
主席，如果我們不改變炒賣投資為本的房屋市場，政府的規劃亦繼續偏重賣地給發展商建設私人樓宇，而我們的顧問報告亦是採用這種思維，那麼香港的房屋問題是不會得到真正的改善。
Chairman if we do not revamp the speculative investment - based housing market if Government planning continues to biased towards land sale to developers for the construction of private housing while our consultancy report also adopts this mindset then the housing problem in Hong Kong can never be genuinely improved
政府一邊預計經濟增長放緩，一邊卻聲稱辦公室和商貿樓面需求大增，所以要在東大嶼填海，發展成為繼中環和九龍東後第三個核心商業區。
On the one hand the Government is expecting a slowdown in economic growth . On the other hand it claims that the demand for offices and floor areas for trade and commerce has increased significantly . It is for that reason that reclamation in East Lantau is deemed necessary to make it become the third core business district CBD after Central and Kowloon East
香港已有不少發展中的辦公室區域，政府應該全面檢討香港的產業發展，然後善用土地，針對性發展，而不是估計2040年時人口回落、經濟增長放緩，欠缺產業發展方向和視野情況下，繼續盲目開發土地。
Hong Kong already has many developing office areas . The Government should conduct a comprehensive review of Hong Kongs industry development and then make good use of the land for targeted development instead of continuing to develop land blindly given that population decline and economic growth slowdown is projected in 2040 and there is no direction and vision for industry development
主席，移山填海會為環境帶來不可逆轉的破壞。
Chairman moving mountains and filling up seas will bring about irreversible damage to the environment
香港有很多用地未有完善的規劃，是否一定要強行發展。
There are many lands in Hong Kong that have no comprehensive planning . Is forcible development a must?
如果我們強行發展，只會縱容當局或一些既得利益者繼續胡亂開發。
If we go ahead with forcible development we are just condoning the authorities or parties with vested interests to continue their development indiscriminately
主席，我希望說說另一項由陳志全議員提出的修正案，編號19，"削減大約相當於2018-2019年度路政署用於維修港珠澳大橋香港段的預算開支"。
Chairman I wish to talk about another amendment proposed by Hon CHAN Chi - chuen Amendment No . 19 . To reduce the financial provisions for the Highways Department approximately equivalent to the estimated expenditure for maintenance works of the Hong Kong section of the HZMB in year 2018 - 2019
主席，我提出此修正案，是因為我希望說說港珠澳大橋的一些問題。
Chairman I bring out this amendment because I want to talk about some issues of the HZMB
港珠澳大橋不單擁有世界級的長度，而且是一個世界級的大醜聞。
Not only does the HZMB have world - class length it itself is also a world - class scandal
瘋狂超支幾百億、多宗工人傷亡事故，包括10人死亡、600人受傷、造假的混凝土壓力測試報告、政府"定點隨機安放"的防坡堤。
The bridge project has been plagued by crazy budget overruns of several tens of billions numerous labour casualties including 10 deaths and 600 injuries falsified concrete cube tests reports random placement of slabs of the breakwater
即使政府指在水面以下隨機安置扭工字塊方案是更可靠有效，港珠澳大橋管理局亦承認了一個缺陷，就是當遇上大浪或颱風時，容易出現移位或堆積問題，因此需要經常監察維修，導致額外支出。
Though the Government claims that the option of random distribution of the concrete blocks known as dolosse below sea level is more reliable and effective the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Authority has admitted there is a pitfall to it . That is in the event of strong waves or typhoons they are prone to drifting or accumulation . Therefore frequent monitoring and maintenance is necessary and this will lead to additional expenditure
政府至今仍未就這個問題的嚴重性及為何堅持使用此方案提出清晰的說明和合理的解釋，便要在《2018年撥款條例草案》通過這項維修開支，我認為政府欠市民一個答案。
So far the Government has still failed to properly clarify and clearly explain the seriousness of this problem and why it has insisted on this option yet it rushes to pass the maintenance expenditure in the Appropriation Bill 2018 . I think the Government owes the public an answer
如果沒有人拍下這張相片、沒有輿論壓力，試問政府是否真的會正視這個問題、認真回應這些流弊呢？
If no one has taken this photo and there is no pressure of public opinion would the Government really face this issue and seriously deal with these drawbacks?
香港就是這麼荒謬，政府千方百計隱藏問題，待民間或傳媒把問題揭發出來，政府才作出回應，而政府的回應卻是不能接受的。
Hong Kong must be so absurd . The Government is trying every possible means to hide its problems and will not respond until the public or the media has exposed the issue . Still the response of the Government is hardly acceptable
大家不要忘記，港珠澳大橋不單包括香港口岸人工島、香港接線與相關工程，還有大橋的主橋和港珠澳口岸。
Do not forget that the HZMB consists not only of the artificial islands in Hong Kong and the link road and related projects in Hong Kong but also the Main Bridge and the boundary crossing facilities BCF at Hong Kong Zhuhai and Macao
對於這兩部分的資料，香港人毫不知情，政府亦沒有提供足夠資料。
Regarding information of the latter two Hong Kong people has no knowledge and the Government also fails to provide sufficient information
理論上，大橋主橋由三地政府組成的港珠澳大橋管理局管理，但就大橋主橋的情況，政府完全沒有提供資料給立法會。
In theory the HZMB Main Bridge is managed by the HZMB Authority composed of officials from the three governments . However our Government has not provided any information to the Legislative Council regarding the management of the HZMB Main Bridge
香港人只知道，香港政府向大橋主橋的部分注資了90億元，還負擔了220億元人民幣貸款近半比例。
Hong Kong people only know that the Hong Kong Government has injected a total of 9 billion yuan to the HZMB Main Bridge and also assumed nearly half of the RMB 22 billion yuan syndicated loan
另外還有工程超支，很快會在財務委員會進行審議。
There are also project overruns that will soon be considered by the Finance Committee FC
上星期財委會主席陳健波議員也提及，官員回答問題時答非所問，議員的底線退無可退。
Last week Mr CHAN Kin - por Chairman of the FC also said officials responses were completely irrelevant to the questions asked which had hit Members bottom line
上星期有建制派議員說，"香港無可避免要填海，何不成立填海基金"。
Last week a Member of the pro - establishment camp said Reclamation is inevitable in Hong Kong so why dont we establish a reclamation fund?
我想反問一句，香港有那麼多土地未被好好運用、規劃和分配，我們為何要先考慮填海這個不能逆轉的方法？
I would like to ask in return There are so many lands in Hong Kong that have not been put into proper use planning and allocation why should we first consider the option of reclamation which will have irreversible impact?
該修正案旨在"削減大約相當於2018-2019年度地政總署為增加和加快土地供應，以及精簡和加快土地發展程序而開設的88個非首長級職位的全年薪酬預算開支"。
The amendment aims to reduce the financial provisions for the Lands Department approximately equivalent to the estimated expenditure on the annual emoluments for 88 non - directorate posts created to increase and hasten land supply and streamline and expedite the land development process in year 2018 - 2019
還有土地供應專責小組未開放的第十九、二十和二十一的選項，即發展粉嶺高爾夫球場、軍事用地和部分已預留建丁屋之用的土地。
There are also the 19 20 and 21 options that the Task Force on Land Supply has not raised . They are the development of the Fanling Golf Club military sites and some of the land reserved for small houses construction
其實政府有很多能夠促進可持續發展的選項，但政府在各種利益面前，選擇迴避這些更好的選項。
In fact the Government has many options that can promote sustainable development . Nevertheless the Government has chosen to forgo these better alternatives in the face of various vested interests
