If so the issue of personal data privacy will be involved; if not will these plastic bags be turned into cash in the future because they can be put up for sale? . Are there any ways to deal with it?
主席，首先，我感謝陸頌雄議員提出保障平台工作者的議員議案。
President first and foremost I thank Mr LUK Chung - hung for proposing a Members Motion on protecting platform workers
現時，政府對新興的零工經濟模式視若無睹，全無對策。
At present the Government pays no attention to the emerging gig economy model nor does it put in place any policy to deal with it
鑒於政府對零工經濟袖手旁觀，我在2018年便針對零工經濟建議本會資訊服務部資料研究組了解外國經驗，檢討加強保障獨立工作者的 政策。
Given the Governments indifference to the subject of gig economy I proposed in 2018 that the Research Office of the Information Services Division of this Council should gather information about overseas experiences on gig economy and review the policy to strengthen protection for independent workers
我亦曾在財政預算案辯論中質詢政府，會否因科技發展帶來的新僱傭模式而檢討勞工法例。
I also asked the Government at Budget debates whether it would review the labour laws in view of this new employment model brought about by technological development
早前，本會亦有議員提出相關質詢，但政府的回應只是含混其詞，支吾以對。
Members also put related questions in this Council earlier but the Government only made ambiguous replies
我期望透過今天的討論，政府能對零工經濟有一個明確的態度，盡快趕上科技發展，保障平台工作者的勞工權益。
I hope that in this debate today the Government can demonstrate a clear attitude towards gig economy and expeditiously catch up with the technological advancement and protect the labour rights of platform workers
我明白零工經濟的平台工作者的聘用模式異於傳統模式，在英國、西班牙等地，更因為平台工作者的僱傭關係鬧上法院，要由法院仲裁；而英國、意大利、西班牙等國家亦先後把平台工作者納入勞工保障範圍。
I understand that the employment mode of platform workers under the gig economy is different from the traditional employment mode . In places such as the United Kingdom and Spain the employment relationship between platform workers and platform companies was taken to court for a ruling; and in countries such as the United Kingdom Italy and Spain platform workers have been included into the scope of labour protection
在上月，中國國家市場監督管理總局等部門聯合印發《關於落實網絡餐飲平台責任切實維護外賣送餐員權益的指導意見》，對保障外賣送餐員的正常權益提出全方位要求，督促平台及第三方合作單位為建立勞動關係的外賣送餐員參加社會保障。
In our country the State Administration for Market Regulation and other departments jointly issued last month the Guiding Opinions on Fulfilling the Responsibility of Online Catering Platforms to Effectively Safeguard the Rights and Interests of Takeaway Delivery Workers setting out a full range of requirements to protect the normal rights and interests of food - delivery workers and urges platform companies and third - party partners to take out social security for takeaway delivery workers with whom they have established a work relationship
在香港，有傳媒引述英國研究機構凱投宏觀的報告指出，在去年4月至6月的疫情高峰期，外賣服務估計保障了香港約48,000個職位，若以餐廳夥伴的營業額計，外送服務為第二季香港經濟貢獻了80億港元，平均有31%的餐飲從業員因餐廳提供外賣服務而保住工作。
In Hong Kong the media quoted a report published by a British research consultancy Capital Economics as pointing out that some 48 000 jobs in Hong Kong had been preserved during the pandemic peak from April to June last year because of takeaway delivery services; and in terms of business turnover of the restaurant partners takeaway delivery services had contributed HK8 billion to our economy in the second quarter and the jobs of an average of 31 % of the restaurant workers were preserved because these restaurants had provided takeaway services . The development of the gig economy is playing an increasingly important role in Hong Kong
與此同時，政府應全面研究為平台經濟制訂僱傭政策。
Also the Government should conduct a comprehensive study on the formulation of an employment policy for platform economy
這是我修正陸議員的議案的初衷。
This is the original intent of my amendment to Mr LUKs motion
對於郭偉强議員的修正案，我明白郭議員希望保障平台工作者的意向，但在現階段，要求政府把平台工作者的僱傭政策與傳統經濟的僱傭政策看齊，未必是最好的做法，因此，稍後若郭議員就議案提出的修正案獲本會通過，我將撤回我的修正案。
Regarding Mr KWOK Wai - keungs amendment I understand Mr KWOKs intention to protect platform workers but at this stage it may not be the best option to ask the Government to align the employment policy of platform workers with that of the workers in the traditional economy . Hence if Mr KWOKs amendment to the motion is later passed in this Council I will withdraw my amendment
如果說海洋公園是香港最具本地特色的主題公園，我想沒有人會反對，它亦承載了很多我們香港市民的集體回憶。
I think no one will disagree if I describe Ocean Park OP as the theme park with the most local characteristics in Hong Kong . It also carries a lot of collective memories of we Hong Kong people
但很可惜，由於早期大額的舉債，加上2019年"黑暴"之後入園人數大減，以及疫情期間曾經長時間停運，令到海洋公園入不敷支，陷入財困，被迫要重組。
But unfortunately due to the substantial amount of debt raised in the early days the drastic fall in the number of visitors to the park after the black - clad riots in 2019 coupled with the prolonged suspension of operation during the epidemic OP is forced to undergo restructuring since it has failed to make ends meet and therefore run into financial difficulties
在今年年初和去年就曾經討論過是否撥款為海洋公園續命。
Discussions took place at the beginning of this year and in last year as regards whether funding should be provided to keep OP afloat
當時兩種聲音都有，最後政府都決定要撥款，亦得到立法會通過。
There were two kinds of views back then and the Government eventually decided to provide funding which was also approved by the Legislative Council
那就為海洋公園的轉型爭取了一些時間和空間。
This has allowed some time and room for OP to carry out transformation
今次的修例其實與撥款無關，而是為了海洋公園未來的轉型作一些適當調整。
As a matter of fact this amendment exercise has nothing to do with funding . It is about making some appropriate adjustments for the transformation of OP in the future
其實說來也有一點欷歔，因為海洋公園屹立40多年，入園人次曾經名列世界前茅，也是一個公認的南區景點。
In fact it is a bit saddening when talking about this since OP has been in existence for more than 40 years with its number of visitors once ranked among the top in the world . It is also a widely recognized attraction in the Southern District
未來海洋公園的園區會縮小規模，着重海洋生態的保育。
The area of OP will be scaled down in the future with its focus placed on the conservation of marine ecology
另外，亦會撥出山下的區域去做一些外判的零售和餐飲業務。
In addition the lower park will accommodate some retailing and dining business to be operated under outsourcing arrangements
新的模式究竟可不可行，我一直都表示有疑慮。
I all along have doubts over the feasibility of this new mode of operation
如果認為單純外判，把波踢給商家，又或者海洋公園做"收租佬"就能解決財困，我覺得這個說法是過分樂觀。
In my opinion it is too optimistic to think that the financial difficulties can be resolved simply by means of outsourcing and passing the ball to the merchants or turning OP into a rent collector
海洋公園未來會與以前不同，以前去一去就可以玩足整日，未來可能只是停留大概半天。
In the future OP will be different from what it was in the past . In the past we could have fun in OP for the whole day during our visit but we may only stay there for about half a day in the future
主席，我的修正案是要貫徹我早前在人力事務委員會裏提到，應該認定平台經濟的僱員是有僱傭關係，以及認為政府應該就這種僱傭關係作一些法例修訂，以堵塞任何漏洞。
President my amendment is intended as a follow - through on my earlier proposal at the Panel on Manpower the proposal of affirming the presence of an employment relationship for employees under the platform economy and also on my view that the Government should introduce legislative amendments for this employment relationship in order to plug the loopholes
主席，隨着社會進步和資訊科技發展，香港的經濟結構出現了一種新的經濟模式，我們稱之為平台經濟。
President with social progress and information technology advancement Hong Kongs economic structure has seen the rise of a new economic mode the platform economy as we call it
因為新冠病毒的出現，更令到平台經濟發展得十分成熟和多元，有外賣、有貨運，我相信未來有不少其他工種都有機會仿效。
Due to the emergence of the novel coronavirus the development of the platform economy has turned very sophisticated and diversified with the proliferation of takeaway and goods delivery services . I believe many other job types may likewise follow their example in the future
相關的平台工作者人數大幅增加，問題便出現了，現時香港的勞工法例是否涵蓋和可否保障到在平台經濟下工作的人士呢？
The drastic increase in the number of platform workers has given rise to one question Can the existing labour legislation in Hong Kong cover and protect workers of the platform economy?
先說平台經濟的漏洞。
I wish to begin with a discussion on the loopholes plaguing the platform economy
事實上，香港現時的平台經濟公司往往聲稱"打工仔"有一個自由度極高、極有彈性的工作時間，想做就做，不想做就不用做，又可以拒絕接單，就連"打工"那位都信以為真。
Actually existing companies under the platform economy in Hong Kong often claim that wage earners can enjoy a high degree of freedom and flexible working hours saying that they may start or end their working hours anytime they wish and reject orders . Even existing platform workers also believe this is true
但實際上，我們所說的是一個怎麼樣的概念呢？
But actually what is this concept under discussion all about?
香港的實際情況是，再說得具體一點，例如有一間名為"熊貓"的外賣平台公司，它在聘用條款說，在新的制度之下，工作者是屬於自僱人士。
I wish to talk more specifically about the reality in Hong Kong . In the case of a takeaway delivery platform company called Foodpanda for example it states in an employment term that workers are self - employed under the new system
但最吊詭的是，每位工作人士都要預報他下一個星期有哪些時間可以上班，哪些時間無法上班。如果應承了而做不到的話，便會有懲罰，大大減少他往後的派單量。
But the most paradoxical point is that each worker must register in advance the time slots available for work or otherwise in the following week and if he breaks his promise the number of orders to be assigned to him in the days ahead will be significantly reduced as a penalty
簡單來說，即是員工上報工時之後便要定時定候上班，遲到便會被老闆懲罰。
In short this means that a worker must show up for work as scheduled after registering his available time slots . In case of lateness he will be penalized by his employer
雖然你不是在一間辦公室工作，但實情是，你是否真的覺得自己是自僱人士呢？
While platform workers do not work in an office setting will they consider themselves to be self - employed in reality?
看看其他國家的經驗，西班牙是最早站出來說這是屬於"假自僱"。
Let us look at the experience of other countries . Spain is the first to come forward with the assertion that all this constitutes bogus self - employment
根據西班牙政府的定義，他們認為平台公司是透過電腦演算法來管理和指派工作，所謂的自僱方式是屬於"假自僱"。
According to the Spanish Governments definition as platform companies resort to computer algorithms in managing and assigning orders the so - called self - employment is actually bogus self - employment
到了去年9月，西班牙的最高法院亦裁定了當中的僱傭關係，特別是程式其實是由人編寫的，只不過是編寫之後放進電腦內，由電腦控制。
In September last year the Supreme Court of Spain likewise handed down a verdict on the employment relationship involved . One particular point to note was that the mobile application was actually written by programmers only that it was installed in the computer and came under computer control afterwards
究竟電腦是直接的管工，抑或只不過是管工輸入了一些指示？
It also ruled on the question of whether the computer was directly in charge or somebody else in charge had input the instructions
台灣地區的例子亦是一樣，他們認為有需要增加保障，特別是當有意外發生的時候。
The example of the Taiwan region is the same . They have recognized the necessity to enhance protection especially protection in the event of accidents
我本人的建議是，政府應該盡快檢視平台經濟的僱用模式，以及參考外國的例子，盡快確立平台公司與平台工作者是有僱傭關係。
My personal recommendation is that the Government should expeditiously review the mode of employment under the platform economy and affirm the presence of an employment relationship between platform companies and platform workers with reference to overseas examples
是次的問題亦反映了香港的勞工法例經常滯後和欠缺前瞻性。
The issue this time also shows that Hong Kongs labour legislation always lags behind without any vision
為了保障本港的"打工仔"，希望勞工及福利局盡快帶頭立例。
For the purpose of protecting wage earners in Hong Kong I hope the Labour and Welfare Bureau will take the lead as soon as possible to enact legislation
謝偉俊議員動議的"果斷回應外國干預本港事務"議案。
Mr Paul TSE will move a motion on Responding decisively to foreign countries interference in Hong Kongs affairs
代理主席，我發言支持《2021年海洋公園公司條例草案》。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Ocean Park Corporation Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill
代理主席，大家都知道有關背景，海洋公園雖然是香港市民很有感情的一個地方，但亦曾一度在財政上"流血不止"。
Deputy President we all know the background . Although the Ocean Park OP is a place for which the people of Hong Kong have deep feelings it had once suffered ongoing financial bleeding
最後，政府要撥款救亡，希望能挽救海洋公園，並且提出一些條件，我們在議會已表達了清晰的見解，就是希望海洋公園必須有一個徹底改革。
Eventually the Government had to inject funds to save OP hoping to give OP a conditional lifeline . We have expressed our views clearly in the legislature that OP needs an overhaul
政府亦吸納了這些意見，將其定位改變了。
The Government has taken on board these views and changed the positioning of OP
在定位上，如果海洋公園還想與周邊地區的大型主題樂園鬥大，或者在機動遊戲上鬥新穎、鬥硬件，那看來真是沒甚麼優勢，是"輸硬"的。
As regards positioning if OP still wants to compete with other major theme parks in the surrounding areas in terms of size novelty in amusement rides or hardware it seems that OP does not have any advantages and will definitely suffer a setback
今次，政府落實了海洋公園的改革，而《條例草案》其實正正是落實這個改革的第一步，就着海洋公園的定位，包括賦予其權力進行一些保育工作，在今次的《條例草案》中作出相關的適應修訂。
This time the Government has spearheaded the reform of OP . In fact the Bill is the first step taken in implementing this reform . Relevant adaptation amendments will be made by virtue of the present Bill in respect of OPs positioning including empowering OP to carry out certain conservation work
代理主席，說回海洋公園的定位，正如我剛才提到，如果要與周邊或附近一些大型主題樂園，包括內地現時有長隆，其實都是做得非常之好如果真的要與這些樂園鬥大、鬥硬件，海洋公園真的沒有優勢。
Deputy President returning to the positioning of OP as I have mentioned just now if we are to compare OP with other major theme parks in the surrounding area or in the vicinity including Chimelong on the Mainland which is doing very well at present and if we are to compete with these parks in terms of size and hardware OP has no advantage at all
不過，正如我們在法案委員會或今天很多同事所提到，其實海洋公園在保育方面......如果其定位是香港市民一家大小平時一個好去處，在該處可以得到很多教育資訊，學習到很多保育知識，如果定位是這樣的安排，我相信整個概念便大為不同，整件事便相差很遠。
However as we have mentioned in the Bills Committee or many colleagues have mentioned today in respect of conservation OP has been If it positions itself as a place to go for families in Hong Kong where they can obtain a lot of educational information and conservation knowledge and if the positioning is arranged in this way I believe this will be a very different concept and the entire story will be very different
如果說到過去，我們看到海洋公園在很多機動遊戲處理方面，如大家所知，所用的維修成本其實相當高，所以一定要"斬纜"。
If we look at the past we can see that the maintenance cost of many amusement rides in OP is actually quite high which is known to us all so it must break away from this mode of operation
現時的做法是把一部分進行動物保育，做有教育意義的工作，另一些就外判給其 他承辦商，由他們進場，希望利用一些新方式，待將來有旅客來港時，在那裏有一些收費。
Under the present approach part of the area will be used for animal conservation and educational work while other parts will be outsourced to other contractors . It is hope that the entry of these contractors can bring in new thinking so that visitors come to Hong Kong in the future will have to pay some fees
最低限度在這種情況下，我希望看到海洋公園將來能有一線生機，可以真的轉虧為盈。
Under such circumstances I hope there will at least be a slim chance of survival for OP in the future by turning losses into profits
當然，就這一點，我都要在此提出。
Certainly in this connection I have to raise a point here
在法案委員會的時候，我聽到有同事提到，他們留意到《條例草案》賦予海洋公園權力，處理一些境內的保育，包括園區內的保育，並且包括境外的保育。
At the Bills Committee I heard some colleagues mention the power conferred to OP by the Bill to carry out conservation in Hong Kong including that within the Park and outside Hong Kong
老實說，我相信局長也聽到很多議員同事的看法，就是我想還是先關注和做好境內的工作，至於境外那些情況，我記得法案委員會有同事曾提到，既然現時境內的也搞不好，他們擔心境外那些保育是否能做好。
Frankly speaking I think the Secretary has also heard the views of many Members that they would like to give priority to the work in Hong Kong and have it work done well . As for the work outside Hong Kong I remember some colleagues mentioned at the Bills Committee that as the work in Hong Kong had not been carried out satisfactorily they were concerned about whether the conservation work outside Hong Kong could be done properly
最重要的是做完之後，最重要的是有收益，這個都是大家很關心的，因為不想再繼續好像以前那樣"流血不止"，大家都關心海洋公園的經營情況。
Most importantly the work done should bring forth revenue . This is the common concern of Members for we do not want to see OP keep bleeding financially as it did in the past . We are concerned about the operation of OP
因此，我認為在現階段應該先專注處理境內的保育、教育工作。
Therefore I think OP should focus on the conservation and education work in Hong Kong at this stage
這一點我認為值得再在這裏提及。
I think this point is worth mentioning here again
另外一點，我想借這個機會表達，就是關於外判及招標的情況。
Another point that I would like to take this opportunity to make is about outsourcing and tendering
當然，剛才很多同事都提到，希望局方能盡快加快進度，就招標後的整個程序、整個情況及最新進展，盡快向我們及公眾交代。
Certainly many colleagues have mentioned earlier that they hope the Bureau will expedite the process as soon as possible and inform Members and the public of the entire process the overall situation and the latest progress upon completion of the tendering exercise
因為大家都關心是哪些單位進場，將來它們打算用甚麼方法運作，因這直接影響海洋公園將來的收入。
This is because we are all concerned about which parties will enter the scene and which mode of operation they intend to adopt in the future as this will directly affect the future income of OP
大家明白這涉及公帑運用，所以希望局長聽到這方面相關的意見。
We all understand that this involves the use of public funds so we hope that the Secretary will listen to the relevant views in this regard
整體而言，我們希望海洋公園在今次這個徹底改革、定位的改革後，會有一個重生的機會。
On the whole we hope OP will turn a new page after this overhaul and repositioning
其實我自己去過海洋公園，看到有些保育方面，例如很多處理動物保育的前線職員，我觀察到他們其實都很敬業樂業，他們做這份工作，可能亦因為他們覺得這是一份有意義的工作。
In fact I have been to OP myself . Looking at the conservation aspect I observed that the many frontline staff members responsible for animal conservation are actually highly dedicated and enjoy their work very much . They take up the job probably because they consider the work meaningful
就此，我剛才亦都聽到很多議員同事提出，而我自己都有這個觀點，就是這群員工、這些同事正面對很困難的時候，我們希望政府在現時香港經濟如此艱難之際，繼續留住他們，不要因甚麼事裁員或者令他們被lay off。
In this regard I have heard many Members expressing the view which I also share that these staff members are going through tough times . We hope the Government will retain them while the economy of Hong Kong is in the doldrums and not to make them redundant or lay them off for whatever reasons
其實他們特別是很多前線職工，我相信在這份工作上，特別是保育工作，他們內裏都有一份熱情，所以這個更加需要一提。
In fact I believe these staff members particularly many front line workers are passionate about their job particularly about conservation work . For this reason I consider it all the more necessary to mention this here
這點特別希望局方聽到，就是員工的工作飯碗都是很重要的。
I earnestly hope that the Bureau can hear my point that the job security of these workers is also very important
我希望海洋公園經過今次的定位改革，將來可以有一個重生的機會。
I hope that after this repositioning OP will have a chance of revival in the future
對此，香港普通市民的意見其實都非常分歧，甚至我的商界朋友的看法也很分歧。
Views of the Hong Kong public on the issue are actually very diverse and even my friends in the business sector hold a diverse range of opinion
我有專業會計師朋友來電對我說：他無論怎麼計算，算出來的也是給它50多億元，它也會繼續虧蝕下去，是無法解決的。
A friend of mine who is a professional accountant called me saying that in all scenarios upon his computation Ocean Park would continue to suffer losses despite a grant of 5 - odd billion and a solution could never be worked out
如果長期如此，香港其實要"填氹"到何時呢？
If the situation persists in the long run when can Hong Kong cease making up for the losses?
當然，在那一刻尚未有一個好像今天的完善方案，即是把山下園區改為零售和飲食，並自負盈虧，交給私人發展商經營，希望可以從那裏增加收入；而山上園區則設有一些新措施，而投資者或營辦商亦要自行出資。
Of course at that time we did not have a comprehensive proposal similar to the one today under which the lower park will be transformed into a retail and dining zone to be operated by private developers on a self - financing basis in the hope of generating additional income . New measures will be introduced for the upper park and investors or operators need to contribute their own share of funding
可以想象到當中的保育方式，即盡量在那裏保育一些海洋生物，供市民參觀。
We can well imagine the conservation approach adopted namely the conservation of marine life there for public viewing as far as possible
他很快便答覆說當然有興趣，只要能夠把海洋公園這個品牌帶給大灣區近8,000萬人口雖然今天未能通關，但可以keep着它的知名度和我們的名聲的話對海洋公園其實一定有好處。
He quickly replied that it was certainly interested as long as it could promote the brand of Ocean Park to nearly 80 million people in the Greater Bay Area . Although normal cross - border travel has yet to be resumed today we will only do good to Ocean Park if we can maintain its popularity and our reputation
雖然現在尚未能夠做到，但他珍惜每一個能幫忙這個品牌吸引遊客的機會，都會親力親為，並已立刻安排他的同事與我的同事跟進。
This has yet to be done but he cherishes every single opportunity to help the brand to attract tourists and is hands on in whatever he does . He assigned his colleagues to follow up with mine right away
我相信這方面有助海洋公園往後繼續發展。
I believe these efforts will be conducive to the future development of Ocean Park
今天《條例草案》來到這一步，我們自由黨其實一定會支持，因為海洋公園其實差不多是香港一個很重要的品牌。
As the Bill has come to this stage today we in the Liberal Party will definitely render our support
對旅客，我們會告訴他們，除了香港迪士尼外，我們還有一個海洋公園在此。
As Ocean Park is one of the very important brand names of Hong Kong we would like to tell tourists that not only do we have Hong Kong Disneyland but we also have Ocean Park
雖然形式可能有少許改變，但地方一樣在，吸引訪客的方式是不同了，但海洋公園和香港會繼續在這個世界上保存着。
There may be some slight changes in the mode of operation but the place is still the same . The ways to attract visitors will be different but Ocean Park and Hong Kong will continue to exist in the world
這為香港的旅遊業及飲食、零售業等帶來更多客戶，會有一定幫助。
This will help to bring more customers to tourism catering retail and other industries in Hong Kong
所以，局長，繼續努力。
Therefore Secretary keep up the hard work
代理主席，我相信這裏只有我一個最近有去過海洋公園，兩個星期前......
Deputy President I think I am the only one here who have been to Ocean Park OP lately
我兩個星期前去，我用......
I went there a fortnight ago and I used OK I am sorry my apology
所以，如果主題公園要生存，真的要靠本地遊客。
Therefore in order to survive a theme park must really rely on local visitors
但是，本地遊客是需要......我記得我之前看過很多年前做的一些feasibility study，如果一個主題公園要生存，在香港的人差不多1年要去3次，有小朋友的人可能會的，但其他人則未必。
However while local visitors are needed I recall that I have read some feasibility studies conducted many years ago and it was said that in order for a theme park to survive Hong Kong people have to go there almost thrice a year . People with children may probably do so but others may not
若非這次陪家人去，我之前真是20多年都沒有去過海洋公園。
I would not have gone there if it was not for keeping my family company . I really had not been to OP for more than two decades
那麼公園如何生存呢？
So how can OP survive?
所以，這次修例或者可以令海洋公園改變它的經營模式，但是，有幾點必須留意。
In this connection the legislative amendments proposed now may perhaps enable OP to change its mode of operation but there are a few points that merit attention
我們一直說海洋公園是講保育，但我們去參觀那些展館或者看熊貓，其實只是一進一出而已，排隊要排很長時間，但看動物其實走完一條路便要離開了。
We have always said that OP attaches importance to conservation . But when we visited the exhibit facilities or went to see the pandas we actually just went inside and then came out of the place almost instantly . We had to queue up for a long time but the viewing of animals was actually just a walk down a path and we had to leave as soon as we came to the end of it
我們看到有些工作人員照顧動物，但他們與參觀的小朋友沒有甚麼溝通和交流。
But all these aside actually the children had no idea about where that animal came from . They probably wished to give some introductions to the children but who was there to introduce to the children the details of the animals? . We saw that some staff were taking care of the animals but they did not have communication and exchanges with children visitors
所以，當日和小朋友一起去，小朋友說也想摸一下，我說要幾百元，不要摸了，我們看看好了，因為消費券用完了，你知道嗎？
I went there with some children that day and when they said that they wanted to touch them I said no for it would cost a few hundred dollars and I told them to just take a look
主席，我以《2021年海洋公園公司條例草案》委員會主席的身份，匯報法案委員會的商議重點。
President in my capacity as the Chairman of the Bills Committee on Ocean Park Corporation Amendment Bill 2021 I now report on the main deliberations of the Bills Committee
法案委員會舉行了一次會議討論《條例草案》。
The Bills Committee held one meeting to deliberate on the Bill
委員支持《條例草案》，並曾就海洋公園公司的職能、新營運模式、財務狀況，以及員工和園內動物的福利表達關注。
Members support the Bill and have expressed concerns about the functions new mode of operation and financial position of OPC as well as the welfare of its staff and animals in the park
《條例草案》訂明海洋公園公司的職能除了康樂、教育外，亦涵蓋保育，並賦予海洋公園公司在香港境內或境外執行相關職能及籌辦活動。
The Bill states that the functions of OPC include conservation in addition to recreation and education and empowers OPC to carry out related functions and organize activities in or outside Hong Kong
委員曾研究應否為"保育"一詞下定義，以防止不必要的爭拗或司法覆核。
Members have examined whether it is necessary to define the term conservation to avoid unnecessary disputes or judicial reviews
有委員認為，海洋公園公司現階段應專注於改善本地業務，不應分心籌辦境外活動。
Some members have opined that OPC should place more emphasis on improving its local business at this stage instead of distracting itself with organizing activities outside Hong Kong
