此外，豐盛的生活不只建基於物質條件的改善，還要提升生活的質素和內涵。
Besides a fulfilling life calls for not only materialistic improvements but also better quality of life and spiritual enrichment
事實上，政府縱有再豐厚的資源，也不能滿足所有人。
In reality no abundance of resources would ever enable the Government to satisfy the needs of all
我的責任是兼顧各階層的利益，同時在緩解當前所需之餘，不忘以積極創新、勇於作為的態度，為香港的未來投資。
It is my responsibility to take care of various sectors of the community . While addressing the pressing needs I must also be proactive innovative and bold in investing for the future of Hong Kong
在接下來的章節裏，我會進一步說明。
I will elaborate on this in the ensuing parts of my speech
香港人均生產總值達46,000美元，位處世界前列，但過去10年的經濟增長率每年平均只有2.7%，反映經濟動力放慢。
The Gross Domestic Product GDP per capita of Hong Kong amounts to US46,000 and is among the highest in the world . However our average annual economic growth rate over the past decade was merely 2.7 % reflecting a slower growth momentum
香港有必要因應自身優勢，以前瞻角度，為未來發展定位和尋找新動力，促進經濟多元，為年輕人提供更廣闊的發展空間，並提升市民的生活質素。
We must leverage our strength and take a forward - looking approach in positioning our future development and seeking new impetus . This will enable our economy to grow in a diversified manner provide our young people with more room for development and improve peoples quality of life
環球經濟格局 綜觀環球經濟格局，有三大趨勢需要留意和把握。
In view of the global economic landscape we need to keep abreast of three major trends and ride on them
首先，創科浪潮席捲全球，勢不可當，從根本改變了經濟結構和人類的生活與消費習慣。
First the unstoppable wave of innovation and technology IT has swept through the world fundamentally changing the global economic structure and the way we live and consume
通訊科技、人工智能和大數據等創新科技的應用和普及，不單催生跨行業、跨界別和跨地域的新產業和共享經濟，也顛覆了傳統以有形資產和資本密集主導的商業模式，為各行各業帶來激烈競爭和轉型的契機。
The application and omnipresence of communication technology artificial intelligence and big data have not only spurred the birth of many new industries that operate across industries sectors and geographical areas as well as the emergence of the sharing economy but also revolutionized the traditional and capital intensive business model based on tangible assets . They have generated keen competition along with opportunities for transformation
新科技也直接降低了創業門檻，孕育出更多具經濟效益的新意念、產品和服務。
New technologies facilitate business start - up and foster new ideas innovative products and services that generate economic benefits
上述種種，解釋了為何全球主要經濟體紛紛銳意發展創科，以之作為經濟新引擎。
This explains why major economies over the world all strive to develop IT and regard it as the new driver of economic growth
香港絕不能落後於大形勢，必須繼續完善創科環境、吸引新經濟公司和科研機構落戶，以及培育知識型人才。
To stay ahead of the game we must enhance our IT environment attract companies from new economy sectors and research institutions to set up their presence in Hong Kong and nurture talent for a knowledge - based economy
其次，全球經濟重心"西向東移"之勢已經確立。
Second the shift in global economic gravity from West to East is now established
過去5年，中國對全球經濟增長的貢獻一直超過三成，若連同其他發展中的亞洲地區，貢獻比率更加接近六成。
Over the past five years China has contributed over 30 % to the global economic growth and together with other developing regions in Asia has made up a share of almost 60 %
在可見的將來，亞洲發展中地區仍然是環球經濟的火車頭。
In the foreseeable future the developing regions in Asia will continue to drive the global economy
國家自40年前改革開放以來，經濟年均實質增長約9.5%，去年經濟規模超過120,000億美元，人均生產總值亦由1978年只有約200美元，上升至現時超過8,000美元。
Since the reform and opening up of our country four decades ago Chinas economy grew by about 9.5 % per annum in real terms on average and has risen to a US12 trillion economy last year . Its per capita GDP also increased from just about US200 in 1978 to over US8,000 today
國家未來的經濟發展方向和策略，對全球影響舉足輕重，也肯定是香港持續繁榮的關鍵。
The future directions and strategies of our countrys economic development have a major global bearing . They are also the linchpin of Hong Kongs sustained prosperity
第三，自2008年環球金融危機爆發以來，先進經濟體之中，反對自由貿易及去全球化的聲音此起彼落，保護主義升溫。
Third since the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008 there have been incessant protests against free trade and calls for de - globalization in some advanced economies
世界貿易組織過去數十年一直倡導的多邊貿易機制變得舉步維艱，更多經濟體改為透過區域或雙邊貿易協議，推動和維持貿易活動。
Protectionism is also on the rise . The multilateral trade system advocated by the World Trade Organization over the past few decades has encountered enormous challenges . More economies have turned to regional or bilateral trade negotiations for promoting and maintaining their trading activities
因此，香港在捍衞多邊貿易的同時，也必須爭取簽訂更多的區域和雙邊貿易協議。
While safeguarding multilateral trade Hong Kong must also strive to conclude more regional and bilateral trade agreements
把握機遇 香港須因應剛才提到的三大趨勢，乘勢而起，好好把握眼前的機遇。
In response to the three major trends just mentioned Hong Kong needs to consolidate and build on its existing strengths rise with the tide and seize the opportunities before us
國家在"十三五"規劃中的港澳專章表明，支持香港發揮獨特優勢，鞏固及提升國際金融、航運、貿易三大中心地位，強化全球離岸人民幣業務樞紐地位和國際資產管理中心功能，推動各項服務向高增 值方向發展，亦提到支持香港發展創新及科技事業，以及建設亞太區國際法律及解決爭議服務中心。
In the Dedicated Chapter on Hong Kong and Macao in the 13 Five - Year Plan our country indicates support for Hong Kong to leverage its unique advantages reinforce and enhance its status as an international financial transportation and trade centre and strengthen Hong Kongs status as a global hub for off - shore Renminbi RMB business and our role as an international asset management centre and move various services up the value chain . It also expresses support for Hong Kong in developing the IT industry and establishing itself as a centre for international legal and dispute resolution services in the Asia - Pacific region
中共十九大報告提出，國家經濟已由高速增長階段轉向高質量發展階段，並繼續推進消費升級和供給側結構性改革。
As stated in the report to the 19 CPC National Congress the national economy has been transforming from a phase of rapid growth to high - quality development and China will continue to forge ahead with consumption upgrading and the supply - side structural reform
報告亦提出要以"一帶一路"建設為重點，堅持"引進來"和"走出去"並重，擴大與各國雙向投資和貿易往來，形成全面開放的新格局，又提出要實施區域協調發展戰略，包括粵港澳大灣區建設。
The report also proposed to pursue the Belt and Road Initiative as a priority and give equal emphasis to bringing in and going global with a view to boosting two - way investment and trade flows between China and other countries thus making new ground for opening up on all fronts . Moreover the report advocated the implementation of a coordinated regional development strategy including the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area Bay Area
同時，報告指出要防範和化解重大風險，尤其是金融風險。
On the other hand the report pointed out the importance of forestalling and resolving major risks especially the financial risks
國家經濟發展的方向和策略，為香港帶來龐大的機遇。
The direction and strategies of Chinas economic development have created enormous opportunities for Hong Kong . Take the financial services industry as an example
可以預期，樓市供應偏緊的情況將會緩和。
We anticipate that the tight supply situation in the property market will ease
另外，美國利率正常化繼續推進，過去數年香港超低利率的情況將不復再。
Besides as the United States interest rate normalization process continues the ultra - low interest rate environment of the past few years will no longer persist
這些基本因素的轉變會為樓市帶來壓力。
The changes in these key factors will put pressure on the property market
政府會繼續密切留意樓市的變化。
The Government will keep a close watch over changes in the property market
市民在置業前，必須小心衡量風險，特別是利率上升對個人供款能力的影響。理財新哲學 接着我想談談公共財政。
Before making a home purchase decision the public should carefully assess the risks involved especially the impact of interest rate hikes on their ability to repay
根據《釋義及通則條例》就延展於2018年2月7日提交本會省覽的《2018年醫院管理局條例令》的修訂期限而動議的擬議決議案。
Proposed resolution under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance to extend the period for amending the Hospital Authority Ordinance Order 2018 which was laid on the Table of this Council on 7 February 2018
我謹以小組委員會主席的身份，動議以我名義提出的議案，議案內容已載列於議程內。
In my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee I move that the motion under my name as printed on the Agenda be passed
在2018年2月9日內務委員會會議上，議員成立了小組委員會，研究在2018年2月7日提交立法會的《2018年醫院管理局條例令》。
At the House Committee meeting on 9 February 2018 Members formed a subcommittee to study the Hospital Authority Ordinance Order 2018 which was laid on the table of the Legislative Council on 7 February 2018
為了讓小組委員會有足夠時間審議有關的附屬法例，委員同意由我動議一項議案，將此項附屬法例的審議期延展至2018年3月28日的立法會會議。

各位同事，現在是6時20分左右，而這個環節會約於7時完結。
Honourable Members it is now around 6col20 pm and this session will end around 7col00 pm
我會讓麥美娟議員、梁繼昌議員、林卓廷議員、毛孟靜議員、郭家麒議員、陳志全議員及區諾軒議員發言。
I will call upon Miss Alice MAK Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr LAM Cheuk - ting Ms Claudia MO Dr KWOK Ka - ki Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and Mr AU Nok - hin to speak respectively
在上述議員發言後，我會讓局長發言回應，然後進行表決。
After these Members have finished speaking I will call upon the Secretary to reply . Then the Committee will proceed to vote
委員現在可以就秘書剛讀出46個總目的修正案進行合併辯論。
Members may now proceed to a joint debate on the amendments to the 46 heads read out by the Clerk just now
有關修正案包括：財政司司長兩項修正案，旨在增加170及173兩個總目的撥款數額；及14位議員合共65項修正案，旨在削減涉及44個總目內不同的撥款數額。
The amendments include the Financial Secretarys two amendments seeking to increase the sums for heads 170 and 173; and a total of 65 amendments proposed by 14 Members seeking to reduce the various sums for 44 heads
委員已獲通知，全體委員會約有22小時進行這項辯論。
Members have been informed that the committee will have about 22 hours to conduct this debate
我會先請陳志全議員發言及動議講稿附錄編號1的修正案，然後依次請其他提出修正案的議員及財政司司長發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will first call upon Mr CHAN Chi - chuen to speak and move Amendment No . 1 set out in the Appendix to the Script to be followed by other amendment proposers and the Financial Secretary in sequence; but they may not move amendments at this stage
當辯論結束後，全體委員會會按講稿附錄的次序，逐一表決各項修正案。
After the debate the committee will vote on each of the amendments in the order as set out in the Appendix to the Script
主席，我剛才聽你提到，有14位議員提出合共65項修正案，但以我理解，應有14位議員提出合共67項修正案。
Chairman just now I heard you mention that there were a total of 65 amendments proposed by 14 Members . However to my understanding there should be a total of 67 amendments proposed by 14 Members
我知道由於上次會議突然停止，因此主席容許很多議員在今天辯論沒有修正案的總目這部分發言，對於這種做法，我希望主席能夠補足時間，讓正在輪候、想就一些沒有修正案的總目進行辯論的議員有機會發言，因為這樣才符合議會精神關於這點，未到最後，我也會把疑點利益歸於主席希望你稍後讓議員討論及辯論第1部分時能預留足夠時間，因為有很多議員同事今次並非想就這一部分發言。
I know that due to the abrupt end of the last meeting the President has given permission to many Members to speak in this part of the debate on heads with no amendment today . On this arrangement I hope the Chairman could allow adequate time so that Members who are waiting to speak on the heads with no amendment can have the opportunity to do so because only in this way can we live up to the spirit of the legislature―on this point I would give the President the benefit of the doubt until the end―I hope that later on you will give Members sufficient time to have discussions as well as conduct a debate on the first part because actually it is not this part that many Honourable colleagues want to talk about
我首先想就"總目37―衞生署"的撥款發言。
First I wish to talk about the funding for Head 37―Department of Health
主席，現時政府的牙科服務集中於學童牙科保健，包括在宣傳及預防的工作方面，但牙科治療服務卻置之不理，大部分交由私營診所負責。
Chairman at present the dental service of the Government is mainly focused on School Dental Service including publicity and prevention but it pays no heed to curative dental services which are provided mainly by the private sector
然而，很可惜，在全港18區只有11間公共牙科診所提供街症服務。
It is a shame that throughout Hong Kong there are only 11 public dental clinics that provide outpatient service
每次他們來到這些牙科診所時，職員會對他們說："你每次只可以脫1枚牙齒"。
Each time they go to these dental clinics staff members would say to them Each time you can only have one tooth extracted
於是，這些長者年復年，月復月，不斷在早上五六時排隊看街症，就像等六合彩開彩般，看看自己有沒有機會獲得這些服務，當中還有 許多人須跨區使用服務。
Therefore year after year and month after month these elderly people have to wait continually for outpatient service at five or six oclock in the morning just like waiting for the drawing of the Mark Six lottery to see if they have any chance of getting the service . Many people among them even have to cross districts to use such service
雖然今年預算案在原本醫療衞生部分的撥款增幅很大，達21.5%，但公共牙科部分有沒有增加呢？
Although the funds allocated to the health care section have increased significantly by as much as 21.5 % in the Budget this year is there any increase in the public dental care section?
政府在資源不足的情況下，仍然容忍或縱容這些服務未獲善用，對不起公帑、對不起納稅人，以及對不起數以萬計每天早上排隊的長者。
Despite having insufficient resources the Government still tolerates or condones the suboptimal utilization of these services so this is not doing justice to the public funds taxpayers and also the tens of thousands of elderly people queuing up in the morning every day
主席，我其實原本是要求預算案增加撥款，包括向衞生署增加撥款，但大家也知道，根據《議事規則》，我們只可以削減，卻不可以增加，因此很可惜，而我亦沒有可能或不應削減衞生署提供的牙科服務，唯有放棄建議向牙科服務增加撥款，因為《議事規則》是不容許的。
Chairman originally I intended to request an increase in fund allocation including that to the Department of Health in the Budget but as we all know according to the Rules of Procedure we can only propose reductions but not increases . In view of this it is impossible for me nor should I scale back the dental service provided by the Department of Health so I can only give up putting forward the proposal of increasing the fund allocation for dental service as this is not permitted under the Rules of Procedure
我們在最近數年特別是在今年看到政府最初表示有1,380億元盈餘，但根據我們本星期接獲的消息，又會有額外100億元的盈餘，即總共接近1,500億元的盈餘。
In the last few years―and this year in particular―we could hear the Government say initially that the surplus would amount to 138 billion but according to the news received by us this week there will be an additional surplus of 10 billion so the surplus will reach almost 150 billion in total
現時所謂新增的"補漏拾遺"方案能否幫助他們呢？
Can the present newly - introduced so - called gap - plugging proposal help them in any way?
但是，對不起，其實長者醫療券只有一個目的，便是為政府不完善或不足夠的醫療政策特別是基層醫療政策"貼膠布"而已。
However sorry the Elderly Healthcare Vouchers serve only one purpose that is to put plasters on the defective or inadequate health care policy of the Government in particular on the primary health care policy
所以，政府有必要做的，不是增加長者醫療券，更不是希望透過再增加1,000元，便可解決他們的問題，而是須在全港18區每區也設置1間可供所有 公眾人士使用的牙科診所，我亦不希望這項服務只提供予長者，因為大家也知道，而政府亦會對我們說，長者有關愛基金的資助。
Therefore what the Government needs to do is not increasing the amount of Elderly Healthcare Vouchers and still less should it hope that by providing an additional 1,000 their problems can be solved . Rather it is necessary to establish a dental clinic serving all members of the public in each of the 18 districts in Hong Kong . I also hope that this service will be provided not just to the elderly because as we all know and the Government will also tell us that elderly people can be subsidized by the Community Care Fund
當然，關於關愛基金，早前的審計報告亦指出一個很離譜的事實，便是投放在牙科服務的行政費用比長者可以用到的錢更高，所以雖然說有接近1,500億元的盈餘，但對很多基層市民，特別是眾多長者和低收入人士而言，其實是完全沒有作用的。
Certainly concerning the Community Care Fund the Audit Report published earlier on points out an absurd fact that is the administrative costs incurred by dental service were even higher than the money that goes to the elderly people . Although it is said that the surplus stands at almost 150 billion to many grass - roots people in particular to the large number of elderly people and low - income earners this is actually completely meaningless
其實政府應該為65歲以上人士提供牙科服務。
In fact the Government should provide dental service to people aged 65 years or above
照顧長者的牙科服務是最重要的，但當然不單是長者才有問題，接下來我便會談談無障牙科。
It is crucially important to provide dental service to the elderly but of course it is not just the elderly who have problems . Next I will talk about special care dentistry
無障牙科是關乎社會上一群被忽略的人，包括有嚴重智障、自閉症、智力未達正常水平，以及很多先天性多項功能出現問題的兒童。
Special care dentistry has to do with a neglected group of people in society including children with severe levels of intellectual disabilities autism intellectual ability below normal level and multiple congenital problems
每次的情況也是這樣，因此長年累月下來，這些兒童的牙齒是相當差的，而當他們年滿18歲後，便不能使用任何公共牙科服務。
The same thing happens each time so over time the condition of these childrens teeth becomes quite bad and when they reach 18 years of age they can no longer use any public dental service
政府在數年前設立無障牙科服務，基本上可解決部分問題，可惜直至今天，仍然有人在輪候接受服務，而政府只承諾再次撥款數千萬元以繼續有關的計劃，但這只是一次過的撥款，並非一項長遠計劃。
The Government introduced special care dentistry a few years ago and basically part of the problem has been solved . Unfortunately there are still people waiting to use this service even now and the Government has only undertaken to allocate tens of millions of dollars to extend the relevant programme but this is only a one - off grant rather than a long - term programme
就這部分，我想說的是，政府是否沒有資源和能力呢？
Concerning this part what I wish to say is Does the Government lack resources or capability? . The answer is in the negative
政府正在興建新的兒童醫院，這正是可以解決這項問題的最佳場所。
The Government is building a new childrens hospital and this is precisely the best place for solving this problem
無論是18歲以下需要無障牙科服務的兒童或18歲以上，即生理年齡上是成年人，身高已經有五六呎，但智力卻只相等於4歲，甚至3歲或2歲兒童的人，如果大家有機會到這些牙科診所或播道醫院看看便知道，其實無論是對於他們的家人、家長或醫護人員，均構成很大的壓力。
Be it children aged 18 years who need special care dentistry or people aged 18 years or above that is people whose physical age is that of a grown - up and who are already five feet six inches tall but whose intelligence is only equal to that of a four - year - old or even a three - year - old or two - year - old if Members have the opportunity to go to these dental clinics or the Evangel Hospital to take a look they will know that their family members parents and health care workers are all bearing a great deal of pressure
他們需要的並不是普通的牙科服務，他們是需要無障牙科服務，即是說在牙科的治療當中，他們須接受靜脈注射、鎮痛，甚至需要全身麻醉，牙醫才能為他們提供牙科服務。
What they need is not ordinary dental service but special care dentistry that is in the course of dental treatment they have to receive intravenous injections sedation and even general anesthesia before dentists can provide dental service to them
很可惜，時至今天，我們仍未獲得政府正面的答覆，表示會在即將落成的兒童醫院裏提供這些服務。
Unfortunately so far we have not received any positive reply from the Government telling us that such service will be provided in the childrens hospital soon to be completed
我要求政府，不論是衞生署或醫院管理局也好，最重要的是 跟這些人的家長討論。
I ask the Government be it the Department of Health or the Hospital Authority to discuss with the parents of these people a discussion which is most important
他們需要這些服務，而我們花了數以十億元興建兒童醫院，如果仍然無法解決他們的問題，我認為這是相當遺憾的。
They need this kind of service and we have spent billions of dollars on a childrens hospital . If their problem remains not solved I think it would be most regrettable
有一個很奇怪的現象，大家也知道在立法會財務委員會審議撥款時，建制派通常是不理好壞，也會一律支持通過政府的撥款申請，但有關港台新大樓的興建工程，我們看見的情況剛好是倒過來的，即建制派大部分議員也投下反對票，因此，港台的新大樓計劃胎死腹中。
A very strange situation has arisen . As we all know when the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council examines funding proposals usually the pro - establishment camp would support and approve the Governments funding applications regardless of their merits or demerits but in respect of the construction of RTHKs new Broadcasting House we can see a reversal of this situation that is the great majority of Members in the pro - establishment camp cast No votes . As a result the plan for RTHKs new Broadcasting House fell through
現在是2018年，政府有數萬億元在口袋裏，有超過1,500億元的盈餘，在討論不知道如何"派錢"的情況下，職員仍要在下雨時拿出水桶來盛水、使用一些沿用數十年至今，已經變成古董的器材，還有大量工作人員正在等候簽署長期僱員合約。
It is now 2018 and the Government has thousands of billions of dollars in its pocket and over 150 billion of surplus . At a time when the discussion centres around finding ways to make cash handouts staff members still have to take out buckets to catch rainwater and use equipment that has been in use for several decades and become antiques . Moreover a large number of staff members are waiting to sign long - term employment contracts
我不明白政府為甚麼要這樣做，我只是想到一個原因，便是在很多公共廣播機構已經落入內地或紅色資本商人手中後，其實餘下來我們便須依靠電台的服務，才能打開渠道，讓公眾暢所欲言，亦讓公眾對政府的批評可以透過電台或港台的電視節目表達出來。
I do not understand why the Government chooses to do so . I can only think of one reason that is after many public broadcasting corporations have fallen into the hands of Mainland or red capitalists in fact the only thing that we can rely on to keep the channels for free speech of the public is radio services and through radio programmes or RTHKs television programmes the public can voice their criticisms of the Government
然而，正正是港台做得越好、越勤力，它便越成為政府的眼中釘，以致政府須用盡所有方法，甚至是與建制派"扯貓尾"，設法削減港台的撥款。
However the better a job RTHK is doing and the harder it works the more it becomes a thorn in the Governments side so the Government has resorted to all available means and even colludes with the pro - establishment camp to reduce the funding for RTHK
本會現在成為全體委員會，審議《2018年撥款條例草案》。
Council now becomes committee of the whole Council to consider the Appropriation Bill 2018
就全體委員會審議《條例草案》的辯論及表決安排，議員已獲通知，全委會將會分3個環節處理有關程序。

之後全委會會進入第二個環節，就所有修正案進行合併辯論，然後逐一表決修正案。
Committee will then move on to the second session to conduct a joint debate on all the amendments and then vote on the amendments seriatim
完成修正案的辯論及表決後，全委會會進入第三個環節，處理餘下程序，包括納入程序、財政司司長的相應修訂及三讀。
Following the conclusion of debates and voting on the amendments committee will move on to the third session to process the remaining proceedings including the questions of the clauses standing part of the Bill the Financial Secretarys consequential amendments and Third Reading
全委會先合併辯論可辯論的議題，委員可在此環節說明是否整體支持《條例草案》，最後逐一表決有關議題，直至完成三讀。
Committee will first conduct a joint debate on the debatable questions . In this session Members may indicate whether they support the Bill as a whole . Finally the relevant questions will be put to vote seriatim until Third Reading is completed
我已就辯論及表決安排徵詢議員意見，預計於5月10日的會議上，會完成《條例草案》的所有程序。
I have consulted Members on the debate and voting arrangements and I expect all proceedings on the Bill to be completed at the meeting on 10 May
按照《議事規則》第68條的規定，本會首先審議附表。

Members have been informed that committee will have about seven hours to conduct this debate
辯論結束後，全體委員會會表決沒有修正案的總目的款額納入附表。
After the debate committee will put to vote that the sums for the heads with no amendment stand part of the Schedule
現在辯論開始。
The debate now commences
本會現在繼續就《2018年撥款條例草案》進行二讀辯論。
Council now continues the debate on the Second Reading of the Appropriation Bill 2018
我們歡迎政府優化此基金，特別是容許所有結束帳戶可以重新啟動。
We welcome the Governments move to optimize CEF especially allowing all closed accounts to be re - activated
這對於"打工仔"來說，是很好的做法。
It is a very good measure to employees
我們希望勞工及福利局或教育局再次考慮，容許市民使用持續進修基金的津貼來考取政府所承認的牌照。
We hope the Labour and Welfare Bureau or the Education Bureau EDB will reconsider and allow citizens to use the CEF subsidy for obtaining government - recognized licences
另一個我想討論的問題是小學學童輔導。
Another issue I wish to discuss is guidance services for primary school students
它可以改善經營條件，為何不支持呢？
It can improve business conditions but why do they not support it?
蘇偉文副局長現時在席，我知道他努力設法使居住在公屋或居屋的市民得以改善其居住環境。
Under Secretary Dr Raymond SO is present now . I know he had endeavoured to come up with ways to improve the living environment of people living in public rental housing PRH or Home Ownership Scheme flats
我們希望政府由淺入深，全面檢討街市政策，以改善和解決街市現存的問題。
We hope that the Government will approach the core issue layer by layer and conduct a comprehensive review of its market policy to ameliorate and solve the existing problems in markets
正所謂"巧婦難為無米炊"，但今次卻倒過來，是"阿茂餅多不識派"，有巨額財政儲備和盈餘，居然"派糖"、"派餅"也一塌糊塗，真是史無前例。
Even the cleverest housewife cannot prepare a meal out of nothing so the saying goes . But this time it is the other way around . Even with a huge fiscal reserve and surplus the Government can make giving away candies and giving away cookies a big mess
我一直在想，如果我是財政司司長，看到預算案的草稿，我只會問數個問題：第一，有哪些人受惠？
It is indeed unprecedented . I have been thinking if I were the Financial Secretary I would have asked a few questions when I saw the draft Budget First who will benefit from it?
