由於新任內會主席選舉長期延誤，內會一直未能按慣常方式處理其事務，包括未能處理政府提交的14項法案和90多項附屬法例，以及資深司法人員的任命等。
Owing to the serious delay in electing the new Chairman of the House Committee during this period of time the House Committee could not deal with any business in its conventional way including 14 bills and over 90 pieces of subsidiary legislation submitted by the Government as well as the proposed senior judicial appointments
直到立法會主席閣下在尋求外間法律意見之後，決定根據《議事規則》第92條行使權力，指明由陳健波議員在2020年5月18日上午的內會會議上主持有關選舉，建制派議員亦排除議事堂上各種干擾和搗亂，選出李慧琼議員擔任內會主席，才結束上述亂局。
The above mentioned chaos could only come to an end after the President of the Legislative Council had sought external legal advice and decided to appoint through exercising his power pursuant to RoP 92 Mr CHAN Kin - por to preside over the House Committee meeting held in the morning of 18 May 2020 for the election concerned in which Ms Starry LEE was finally elected as the Chairman of the House Committee with all sorts of interference and trouble removed by Members of the pro - establishment camp during the meeting
經此一役，大家更加明白到《議事規則》原本屬於君子之間的協議，但若然所訂條文過分寬鬆，便難免讓別有用心者鑽空子。
After this incident we understand that RoP is originally a gentlemans agreement but if the provisions are too loose people who have ulterior motives may take advantage of the rules
因此，社會各界有十分強烈的意見，要求議會盡快修訂《議事規則》，除了要求堵塞各種漏洞，更要求對行為極不檢點並刻意干擾議會運作的議員訂立罰則，這次的擬議修訂積極地回應了社會人士的訴求。
Therefore there have been very strong views from various sectors of society asking this Council to amend RoP as soon as possible . Apart from plugging the various kinds of loopholes they even ask to impose penalties on those Members for their grossly disorderly conduct and deliberate acts to interfere with the operation of this Council . This proposed amendment has proactively responded to the aspirations of the people in society
立法會在2020-2021年度會期開始以來，議事規則委員會一直研究議員就修訂《議事規則》及《內務守則》提出的多項建議。
Since the commencement of the 2020 - 2021 Legislative Council Session CRoP has been studying multiple proposals for the amendment of RoP and the House Rules put forward by Members
我作為委員會的成員，曾在2021年1月15日致函委員會主席謝偉俊議員，提交了有關立法會會議處理各類議案設定發言時限的建議。
Being a Member of the Committee I submitted a letter to Mr Paul TSE Chairman of the Committee on 15 January 2021 presenting my proposal of setting speaking time limits on various kinds of motions handled during the meetings of the Legislative Council
在1月29日，我再次向謝偉俊議員提交進一步的意見，對各環節中每位議員發言次數及時限有更細節的建議，供議事規則委員會考慮。
On 29 January I submitted my further opinion to Mr Paul TSE with a more detailed proposal for consideration of CRoP on the number of speeches and time limit per speech of each Member in various sessions of debate
議事規則委員會其後考慮了我及其他委員提出的各項擬議修訂，內容廣泛涵蓋《議事規則》及《內務守則》多項條文。
CRoP then took into consideration the various amendments proposed by me and other Members which widely covered a large number of stipulations in RoP and the House Rules
委員會先後於2020年11月及2021年2月就各項擬議修訂致函諮詢全體議員，隨後同意將獲得足夠議員支持的第一批擬議修訂提交內會討論，而內會已於今年2月26日的會議上通過《議事規則》第一批擬議修訂。
In November 2020 and February 2021 respectively letters were sent by CRoP to all Members in regard to various proposed amendments . Subsequently it was agreed that the first batch of proposed amendments which had garnered enough support from Members would be submitted to the House Committee for discussion . And at the meeting on 26 February this year the first batch of proposed amendments was endorsed by the House Committee
謝偉俊議員隨即根據《基本法》第七十五條動議這項擬議決議案，以修訂《議事規則》的相關條文。
Right after that Mr Paul TSE introduced this proposed resolution under Article 75 of the Basic Law to amend the relevant provisions of RoP
如果獲得通過，就《內務守則》相關條文提出的相應修訂將提交內會批准。
If this is endorsed the corresponding amendments to the relevant provisions of the House Rules will be submitted to the House Committee for approval
主席，今天的擬議決議案主要涵蓋已獲內會通過的關於《議事規則》的第一批擬議修訂，包括5項建議。
President this proposed resolution today mainly covers the first batch of proposed amendments in relation to RoP endorsed by the House Committee and it includes five proposals
立法會代理主席繼而會動議一項不容辯論亦不容修正的議案，以供立法會決定應否在該議案指明的期間暫停該議員的職務。
A motion will then be moved by the Presidents deputy for the Council to decide without debate or amendment whether the Member should be suspended from the service of the Legislative Council for the period specified in the motion
釐定暫停職務的期限時須以嚴重程度遞增級別為依據。
The duration of suspension is subject to an escalating scale of severity
如該議案獲得通過，被暫停職務的議員便不得參與立法會所有事務。
If the motion is carried the Member suspended would be prohibited from participating in all business of the Council
其效果是對任何議員被暫停職務的前提條件、暫停職務的期限，以及對相關條款的執行，作出非常明確而詳盡的規定。
Its effect is to impose very explicit and detailed regulations on the pre - conditions for the suspension of any Member the duration of suspension and the execution of the relevant terms
此項建議旨在尋求適當的平衡，既鼓勵議員精簡發言，提高立法會的議事效率，同時希望能令立法會妥為履行其憲制職能。
This proposal aims to strike a proper balance . This would not only encourage Members to make concise speeches with a view to enhancing the efficiency of the Council in transacting business but hopefully also enable the Council to discharge its constitutional functions in a proper manner
第三項建議是擬議加入第79D條，訂明在任委員會主席在新會期的委員會主席選出前處理一般事務的權力，明確規定委員會正副主席的任期直至下一會期的主席選出為止，而在任的正副主席須具有委員會正副主席可行使的一切權力，直至其任期完結為止，即下一會期開始時或選出下一會期的主席時，以較遲者為準。
The third proposal is to add Rule 79D which provides the powers of the committee chairman in office to deal with normal business prior to the election of the committee chairman for a new session . It provides explicitly that the chairman and deputy chairman of a committee shall hold office until the chairman for the next session is elected in that next session and that the chairman and deputy chairman in office shall have all the powers that may be exercised by a chairman or deputy chairman of the committee until his or her term of office ends either upon the commencement of the next session or the election of the chairman for the next session whichever is the later
這一項修訂的現實作用是顯而易見的，是為了防止2020年內會主席選舉亂局的再度出現。
Obviously the practical function of this amendment is to prevent the recurrence of the chaotic scenario with respect to the election of the House Committee Chairman
第四項建議是關於完善立法會的辯論中止待續程序，包括擬議加入第40條，訂明如立法會主席認為動議現即將辯論中止待續的議案是濫用程序，可決定不提出該議案的待議議題或無經辯論而把議題付諸表決。
The fourth proposal is about fine - tuning the procedure for the adjournment of debate in the Council . It includes adding Rule 401B which provides that where the President is of the opinion that the moving of the motion that the debate be now adjourned is an abuse of procedure he may decide not to propose the question on the motion or to put the question forthwith without debate
此舉使主席的權限更為明確。
The power of the President can be more explicit under this amendment
第五項建議是關於防止可能出現濫用程序的擬議修訂，包括擬修訂第63條，訂明議員在三讀辯論時就是否支持法案所作的發言必須扼要，而且不可再次討論法案的整體優劣及原則或法案的擬議修正案或個別條文，因該等事宜在二讀辯論時已作討論。
The fifth proposal is about the proposed amendments to prevent possible abuse of procedures . It includes amending Rule 63 to the effect that Members must speak succinctly on whether they would support a bill or otherwise at the Third Reading debate and they may not discuss again the general merits and principles of the bill or the proposed amendments to or individual provisions of the bill which have been discussed at the Second Reading debate
此舉實質上是把主席以往執行相關《議事規則》的不成文裁決、規勸或慣例改為成文的規則。
Practically this amendment is to turn the Presidents implicit rulings admonitions or conventions during the past enforcement of RoP into statutory rules
主席，綜合而言，今次對《議事規則》的5項擬議修訂，或者使相關原有條文的規定更趨嚴謹，或者填補了原有條文的不足或疏漏，或者對立法會主席的權限及酌情權有更為明確的規定，總之，是為了使立法會撥亂反正，防止再持續出現先前令人痛心的亂局。
President in sum these five proposed amendments to RoP may render the regulation of the original provisions concerned stricter make up for the deficiencies or omissions in the original provisions or provide more explicitly the powers and discretion of the President . In conclusion they aim to put this Council on the right track and prevent the recurrence of past distressing chaos
不過，我相信對《議事規則》的修訂，這不會是最後一次。
However I believe that this will not be the last time to amend RoP
基於與時俱進的精神，若本議事堂日後的運作反映出《議事規則》仍然存在其他問題，又或者碰到新的情況，到時候進一步優化《議事規則》，使本會更妥當地履行作為香港立法機關根據《基本法》第七十三條所賦予的各項憲制職能，絕對是應有之義。
In keeping abreast of the times in the event that there are still other problems with RoP or new scenarios as reflected in the operation of this Council in future it is definitely incumbent upon us to further improve RoP so that this Council can perform its various constitutional functions under Article 73 of the Basic Law more properly as the legislature in Hong Kong
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持通過謝偉俊議員動議的擬議決議案。
With these remarks President I support the passage of the proposed resolution moved by Mr Paul TSE
我發言支持政府提出有關推展皇崗口岸「一地兩檢」安排的後續工作的議案。
I speak in support of the motion proposed by the Government on taking forward the follow - up tasks of implementing co - location arrangement at the Huanggang Port
皇崗口岸是深港之間唯一24小時運作的陸路口岸。
The Huanggang Port is the only land port between Shenzhen and Hong Kong operating on a 24 - hour basis
由回歸以來，皇崗口岸便在深港兩地交流上扮演着重要角色。
Since the reunification it has been playing an important role in the exchange between Shenzhen and Hong Kong
在2019年，全年有超過2,480萬人次經皇崗口岸往返香港和深圳，但由於兩地的旅檢大樓分別位於深圳河的兩岸，令旅客過關十分不便。
Throughout 2019 more than 24.8 million cross - boundary trips were made between Hong Kong and Shenzhen via the Huanggang Port . However the passenger clearance buildings of both sides are separately located on either bank of the Shenzhen River making it very inconvenient for passengers to cross the boundary
旅客若由香港北上深圳，需要先在港方的落馬洲管制站落車，辦理離境手續，再乘接駁巴士越過深圳河，抵達深圳皇崗口岸後，再落車辦理內地的入境手續，既費時失事，亦相當麻煩。
Passengers travelling north from Hong Kong to Shenzhen have to get off their vehicles at the Lok Ma Chau Control Point on the Hong Kong side go through departure procedures then take a shuttle bus across the Shenzhen River and then upon arrival at the Huanggang Port in Shenzhen get off the bus to go through immigration procedures of the Mainland . Apart from being costly in both time and effort the process is also quite cumbersome
不過，如果採用"一地兩檢"安排，旅客只需要在位於深圳的皇崗口岸聯檢大樓一次過辦理香港和內地的通關程序，便可以大大縮減通關時間，絕對是一項便民措施。
However if the co - location arrangement is adopted passengers just need to go through the clearance procedures of both Hong Kong and the Mainland in one go at the Huanggang Port Joint Inspection Building in Shenzhen so the time needed for customs clearance will be greatly reduced . It is definitely a measure that makes life easier for the public
"一地兩檢"在美加、英法等邊境已實行多年，在香港亦不是一項新鮮安排，而是一個有法可依、有例可循的做法。
Co - location arrangement has been in place for many years at the borders between the United States and Canada and between the United Kingdom and France . It is not a new arrangement for Hong Kong either but one that is operating in compliance with laws and regulations
在2007年啟用的深圳灣口岸，正正運用了相同的安排。
The Shenzhen Bay Port SBP which was commissioned in 2007 has adopted the very same arrangement
深圳灣口岸啟用前，全國人大常委會和國務院批准香港租用口岸內的部分地方以劃作港方口岸區，並授權香港特區依照香港法律管轄。
Prior to the commissioning of SBP the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress and the State Council approved the leasing by Hong Kong of part of the area within the port for designation as the Hong Kong Port Area and authorized HKSAR to exercise jurisdiction over it in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong
若計及2018年啟用的高鐵西九龍站，香港至今已有兩個實施"一地兩檢"的口岸。
If the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link which was commissioned in 2018 is taken into account then there are already two control points of Hong Kongimplementing co - location arrangement
十四年來，深圳灣口岸無論在旅檢、法律，以至汽車保險等事宜上，運作得非常暢順，並已經成為深港之間最繁忙的陸路過境通道，足以反映出"一地兩檢"切實可行，而且受到社會廣泛接受。
Over the past 14 years SBP has been running like clockwork in terms of passenger clearance legal matters and even motor insurance among others . It has become the busiest land boundary crossing between Shenzhen and Hong Kong fully reflecting the fact that the co - location arrangement is not just practicable but also widely accepted in society
皇崗口岸自1980年代啟用至今已超過30年，不論是硬件或規模上都已追不上現今的需求。
Having been in operation for over 30 years since commissioning in 1980s the Huanggang Port is unable to catch up with todays requirements whether in terms of hardware or scale
隨着港深兩地交往日漸頻繁，落馬洲管制 站候車處被過境旅客擠得水泄不通的情況十分常見，故此我認為口岸有優化的需要。
With the increasing interaction between Hong Kong and Shenzhen it is a very common phenomenon that the waiting area of the Lok Ma Chau Control Point is overcrowded with cross - boundary passengers . Therefore I consider that the port needs improvement
這次深圳方面重建皇崗口岸，以及貨運"東進東出、西進西出"的總體格局逐步形成，令各個關口的分工更為妥善，正好為實施"一地兩檢"提供一個契機。
The current redevelopment of the Huanggang Port in Shenzhen coupled with the progressive implementation of the East in East out West in West out planning strategy for goods traffic will improve the division of labour among boundary crossings making it the ideal opportunity to implement co - location arrangement
日後的皇崗口岸將會用作純旅客通關，旅客在同一座大樓內就可以完成香港及內地的出入境手續，我相信可以大大提高旅檢效率，並改善他們的通關體驗。
The future Huanggang Port will be used solely for passenger clearance . As passengers can complete clearance procedures of both Hong Kong and the Mainland in the same building I believe that the efficiency of passenger clearance will be greatly enhanced and their customs clearance experiences will also be improved
主席，正如我早前所說，皇崗口岸啟用至今已30多年，但仍然是最重要的口岸之一，原因主要是皇崗口岸得天獨厚的地理位置。
President as I said earlier the Huanggang Port has been in operation for over 30 years since commissioning but it remains one of the most important ports primarily because it has everything going for it in terms of geographic location
口岸座落於深圳福田區的南端，鄰近深圳核心商業區，同時與香港的落馬洲隔河相望。
It is located at the southern end of the Futian district in Shenzhen close to the central business district of Shenzhen and across the river from Lok Ma Chau in Hong Kong
再者，由深港兩地政府合作共同建設的深港科技創新合作區，雙方的園區正好設在落馬洲邊境土地上。
Furthermore as regards the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Co - operation Zone which is to be jointly developed by the governments of Shenzhen and Hong Kong both the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone SITZ and the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park HSITP will be located right on the boundary land of Lok Ma Chau
單是香港園區的總樓面面積已達120萬平方米，加上實施"一地兩檢"後釋放出來超過20公頃的邊境土地，可以用作支援河套區發展用途，落馬洲將會搖身一變，成為香港最大型的創新科技平台，我深信皇崗口岸的重要性只會有增無減。
HSITP alone already reaches 1.2 million sq m in gross floor area . Together with the over 20 hectares of boundary land released upon implementation of co - location arrangement it can be used to support the development of the Lok Ma Chau Loop . Lok Ma Chau will be transformed into the largest innovation and technology platform in Hong Kong
若然皇崗口岸能夠落實"一地兩檢"，將會大大提升深港兩地園區之間的連接，便利人才及技術交流，有助鞏固香港作為國際創新科技中心的定位，實現"一國兩制"下，位處"一河兩岸"的"一區兩園"，對落實《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》具有正面作用。
I am convinced that the Huanggang Port will only grow in importance . If successfully implemented at the Huanggang Port the co - location arrangement will greatly enhance the connectivity between SITZ and HSITP as well as facilitate the exchange of talent and technology . This will help consolidate Hong Kongs positioning as an international innovation and technology hub and establish one zone two parks at one river two banks under the auspices of one country two systems thus contributing positively to the implementation of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
主席，我相信皇崗口岸"一地兩檢"安排能夠便利香港與內地之間的互動，促進深港兩地強強聯動，有助深化粵港澳大灣區的合作，為國家"國內國際雙循環"的新發展格局提供新動力，是推動香港融入國際發展大局的重要一環，亦對香港未來發展起着關鍵作用。
President I believe that the co - location arrangement at the Huanggang Port will facilitate interaction between Hong Kong and the Mainland as well as promote cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong to leverage the strengths of both cities which will help deepen cooperation in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area and give new impetus to the nations new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation . It plays an important part in advancing the integration of Hong Kong into the international development and takes a key role in the future development of Hong Kong
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持議案。
President with these remarks I support the motion
主席，政府去年向陷入財困的國泰航空有限公司注資273億元，其後又在"保就業"計劃下向其發放約6億元工資補貼。
President last year the Government injected 27.3 billion into Cathay Pacific Airways Limited CX which had fallen into financial difficulty and later disbursed around 0.6 billion of wage subsidies to CX under the Employment Support Scheme
然而，國泰去年仍錄得破紀錄虧損216億元，並需削減約8500個職位。
However CX still recorded a record - breaking deficit of 21.6 billion and needed to reduce approximately 8 500 positions last year
有市民批評，注資所涉公帑已足夠向全港市民每人派發5,000元，或代全港僱主及僱員向強積金計劃供款半年。
Some members of the public have criticized that the public money involved in the injection is sufficient for handing out 5,000 each to all members of the public in Hong Kong or making contributions to MPF schemes on behalf of all employers and employees in Hong Kong for half a year
有評論指出，政府向在疫情下生意興隆的連鎖超市發放工資補貼、將本財政年度稅務寬免減半、建議發放有諸多制肘的電子消費券、拒絕讓市民取回其強積金帳戶的累算權益自救、未能適時公布疫苗接種指引等政策失誤，令政府民望持續低落。
There have been comments that the Government has made policy blunders such as disbursing wage subsidies to supermarket chains whose business has bloomed amid the epidemic reducing tax concessions for the current financial year by half proposing to issue electronic consumption vouchers with all sorts of restrictions refusing to allow members of the public to withdraw the accrued benefits in their MPF accounts to help themselves and failing to publish vaccination guidelines in a timely manner which have resulted in the Governments persistently low popularity
就剛才謝議員提問中的各個部分，經諮詢相關政策局後，我現回覆如下： 一及三 正如其他經濟體一樣，2019冠狀病毒病疫情對香港的經濟帶來極其嚴峻的挑戰。
In consultation with relevant Policy Bureaux my reply to the various parts of the question raised by Mr TSE just now is as follows 1 and 3 Same as other economies the COVID - 19 pandemic has dealt a very severe blow to the Hong Kong economy
我們一直致力控制疫情，同時因應疫情發展及經濟環境的變化，幫助受重創的行業和市民渡過這艱難時期。
We have been committed to controlling the pandemic and at the same time endeavoured to help those hard - hit business sectors and citizens to tide over the difficult times having regard to the epidemic situation and changes in the economic environment
我們一直既撐企業，也保就業，因為僱員的"飯碗"與企業營運唇齒相依。
Considering that job security of employees and business operation are inter - dependent we have been steadfast in supporting both the enterprises and employment
因此，2020-2021年度財政預算案及4輪防疫抗疫基金已共推出逾3,000億元具針對性的紓困措施，涵蓋多個行業和有需要群組，範圍廣泛。
To this end the Government has introduced targeted relief measures amounting to over 300 billion through the 2020 - 2021 Budget and the four rounds of injections into the Anti - epidemic Fund AEF that covered a wide range of industries and groups in need
截至2021年3月中，基金已發放超過1,400億元的資助，惠及超過650萬人次及近85萬個由企業或商戶等提交的申請。
As at mid - March 2021 over 140 billion of subsidies have been disbursed under AEF benefiting over 6.5 million persons and around 850 000 applications submitted by enterprises and businesses
其中僱主獲發共兩輪"保就業"計劃資助的大前提是不能裁員，令約195萬名僱員及超過12萬名自僱人士受惠。
On the premise that no layoffs were allowed employers had been subsidized by the two tranches of the Employment Support Scheme to the benefit of around 1.95 million employees and over 120 000 self - employed persons
航空服務業對香港的整體經濟發展具策略意義，也是保持香港國際航空樞紐地位的基礎。
The aviation industry plays a strategic role in the economic development of Hong Kong and is the cornerstone of Hong Kongs status as an international aviation hub
在疫情爆發之前，國泰航空有限公司佔香港國際機場客運量的57%及貨運量的41%，帶動行業內大大小小的經濟活動，扶持不少下游企業，同時提供就業機會。
Before the outbreak of the COVID - 19 pandemic Cathay Pacific Airways Limited Cathay accounted for 57 % and 41 % of the overall passengers and freight carried by the Hong Kong International Airport respectively . Cathay is key in driving different types of economic activities within the industry supporting many in the downstream and providing job opportunities
政府於去年6月決定投資國泰，協助香港的航空業渡過寒冬，屬符合公眾利益的舉措。
With a view to supporting Hong Kongs aviation industry to ride out the storm the Government decided in June 2020 to invest in Cathay in the public interest
在個人層面，政府亦着力"紓民困"。
At the individual level the Government has spared no efforts to relieve peoples hardship
財政司司長上月公布的預算案涵蓋一系列逆周期措施，涉及1,200多億元。
The Budget announced by the Financial Secretary last month introduced a host of counter - cyclical measures costing over 120 billion
除了一般稅項和差餉的寬免、增加社會保障津貼和提供一次過1,000元電費補貼外，預算案亦建議發放5,000元電子消費券及創造約3萬個有時限職位。
Apart from general measures including tax and rate reductions increasing social security allowance and provision of one - off electricity charges subsidy of 1,000 the Budget also proposed to issue electronic consumption vouchers with a total value of 5,000 and create around 30 000 time - limited job positions
另外，我們建議設立有時限的百分百擔保個人特惠貸款計劃，為失業人士提供多一個財政選項。
In addition the Budget proposes to set up a time - limited Special 100 % Loan Guarantee for Individuals Scheme with a view to providing an additional financing option for the unemployed
有關由政府代供強制性公積金的建議，我們已於去年1月宣布將為收入低於強積金計劃的最低有關入息水平者支付5%的強積金供款。
Regarding the suggestion for the Government to make Mandatory Provident Fund MPF contributions we announced in January 2020 to pay in future the 5 % MPF contributions on behalf of employees whose salary is lower than the minimum relevant income level
至於謝議員提出政府為全港僱主及僱員代供強積金的較廣泛措施，面對現時有限的公共資源，政府經小心分析建議所帶來的影響後，認為不宜推行。
As for Mr TSEs suggestion for the Government to make MPF contributions for all employers and employees in Hong Kong this is a measure with much wider implication . The Government has carefully analysed the impact of the proposal . Given the finite public resources at present we consider it not appropriate to implement the suggestion
我們預計今年的綜合赤字會達至歷來最高，而來年的赤字亦高達約1,000億元。
We forecast that the consolidated deficit this year will be the highest on record and the deficit in the coming year will remain high at around 100 billion
在未來數年，我們預計經濟環境及外圍政治經濟格局存在很大變數，我們一方面要盡能力為市民提供紓緩措施，同時亦要預留一定的財政儲備，應付未來其他需要。
In the coming years we expect great volatility in the economic environment and the external political situation . While we will strive to make available mitigation measures for our people we also need to maintain certain level of fiscal reserves for meeting other future needs
就參考內地抗疫的經驗而言，特區政府衞生署和國家衞生健康委員會有進行恆常交流，希望借鑒國家成功抗疫的策略和經驗，盡快控制本港的疫情。
There are regular exchanges between the Department of Health of the HKSAR Government and the National Health Commission on the anti - epidemic experience in the Mainland . By drawing on the Mainlands successful anti - epidemic strategy and experience it is hoped that the epidemic in Hong Kong could be put under control as soon as possible
過去一年，國家在疫情防控方面取得重大成果，在全球主要經濟體中唯一能夠實現經濟正增長。
Over the past year our country has achieved major strategic achievement in curbing COVID - 19 and is the worlds only major economy to achieve positive economic growth
同時，《十四五規劃綱要》的通過亦為國家未來5年經濟社會發展定下藍圖和行動綱領。
Meanwhile the approved 14 Five - Year Plan sets out the blueprint and action agenda for the social and economic development of the country in the next five years
我們會積極在其中擔任"參與者"和"促進者"角色，為本港經濟發展注入源源不絕的動力。
We will be a proactive participant and facilitator of the development blueprint thereby bringing continuous impetus to our economy
香港特區要切實提高治理效能，這是剛才謝議員關心的題目，關鍵是堅定落實全國人大關於完善香港特區選舉制度的決定及"愛國者治港"的原則。
To enhance governance capability which is also the topic Mr Paul TSE was of concern just now it is pivotal for HKSAR to dutifully implement the decision of the National Peoples Congress to improve the electoral system and the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
在堵塞現時選舉制度的漏洞後，我們可有效解決近年立法會泛政治化的困局。
Once the loophole in our current electoral system is plugged we can effectively resolve the predicament of over - politicization as seen in the Legislative Council in recent years
以最近有關臨時撥款的議案為例，這本來是政府在財政預算過程中的既定程序，我們歡迎議員在審議過程中提出意見，但去年卻被多項不合理的修正案拖延阻撓。
Taking the recent resolution of the Vote on Account as an example this is a well - established procedure in the budgetary process . Whilst we welcome Members views during the deliberation of the resolution the process was delayed by a number of unreasonable amendments last year
最近一段時間，我們看到立法會整體回歸理性務實，今年通過臨時撥款議案的過程回復暢順。
In recent times when rationality is restored in the Legislative Council the resolution this year was passed smoothly as in the past
