主席，真的很難想象我們要等多久，當局才提出《2018年歧視法例條例草案》，就歧視餵哺母乳作出修訂，以及擴闊《種族歧視條例》和《殘疾歧視條例》的適用範圍。
President it is very hard to imagine how long we had waited before the authorities proposed the Discrimination Legislation Bill 2018 the Bill to make amendments in respect of breastfeeding discrimination and to expand the application of the Race Discrimination Ordinance and the Disability Discrimination Ordinance
我剛才聽到張超雄議員和黃碧雲議員說出《條例草案》的歷史，我不想再說一遍。
Earlier on I heard Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Dr Helena WONG talk about the history of the Bill so I do not want to repeat
為了落實國際人權公約中有關反歧視的一些要求，政府多年來審視......
In order to implement some of the anti - discrimination requirements of the international human rights treaties the Government has reviewed for years
很不幸，這些審視或修訂工作是以慢得不能相信的速度在香港進行。
Unfortunately the progress of such review or amendment has been carried out in Hong Kong in an incredibly slow speed
現行修例要擴闊的範疇，無論是涉及種族、殘疾、家庭崗位等，其實只是小修小補。
The current legislative amendments to expand the scope of discrimination involving race disability family status etc . are only patchy fixes
事實上，香港發生很多歧視情況，其中一個同事未有提及的情況，就是越來越嚴重的政治傾向歧視。
In fact many incidents of discrimination have taken place in Hong Kong . One type of discrimination which has not been mentioned by colleagues is discrimination on the ground of political orientation which is increasingly serious
不論是教師、社工或是公務員，都不斷遭到打壓......
Teachers social workers and civil servants alike are suppressed continuously
作為醫生，我認為政府多年來從沒有積極處理歧視餵哺母乳的問題。
As a doctor I think the Government has never proactively tackled the problem of breastfeeding discrimination over the years
該項研究發現，超過六成的受訪婦女認為，她們在餵哺母乳時得不到公平的對待，而接近三成受訪婦女更覺得被歧視。
It is found in the study that more than 60 % of the interviewees considered that they were not treated fairly during breastfeeding and nearly 30 % of the interviewees even felt that they were discriminated
很可惜，到了今天，仍有很多婦女在離開醫院後，因為再得不到任何支援，加上她們的工作場所和很多公共場所沒有任何相關配套設施，最後只好放棄餵哺母乳，重拾奶樽。
Regrettably nowadays as many women cannot get support after leaving the hospital and there is a lack of relevant ancillary facilities at workplaces and many public places they eventually have to give up breastfeeding and use formula milk again
大家也想不到，在一間公立醫院，除了在產科病房內有餵哺母乳的空間外，竟然連一間餵哺母乳的房間也沒有。
One can hardly imagine that not a single room has been reserved for breastfeeding in a public hospital apart from the breastfeeding space in obstetric wards
如果有人帶 嬰兒到政府普通門診診所、專科門診診所或醫院求診，他們沒有一間育嬰室可用。
If people bring their babies to seek consultation at general outpatient clinics specialist outpatient clinics or hospitals there is no baby care room where they can breastfeed their babies
這些錯漏百出、不成比例、在政策上沒有支援的情況，並非單一問題。
Numerous errors disproportionate planning and lack of policy support are not isolated issues
不過，政府把這事宜放在一個十分低的優次，以致今天即使我們通過《條例草案》中有關保障餵哺母乳婦女的修訂，相信餵哺母乳的婦女仍然得不到任何保障。
As the Government has accorded a very low priority to breastfeeding even if the Bill is passed today with amendments made to protect breastfeeding women I believe that breastfeeding women still cannot get any protection
《條例草案》建議訂明不能騷擾餵哺母乳的婦女。
The Bill proposes to prohibit the harassment of breastfeeding women
不過，實際上，這些婦女在很多公眾場所餵哺母乳時要面對很多歧視目光。
However in real - life situation these women have to put up with discriminatory stares when breastfeeding in public places
如果政府認為通過《條例草案》，便等於做好所有工作，這只是自欺欺人，既欺騙了很多婦女，又欺騙了社會上很多人，他們以為政府已經開展反歧視和支持餵哺母乳的工作。
If the Government thinks that passing the Bill is tantamount to getting all the work done it is deceiving itself as well as deceiving many women and many people in society into thinking that the Government has launched its work on anti - discrimination and breastfeeding support
政府只說不做，沒有資源上的配合，沒有其他政策的配合，也沒有足夠的執法人員和物力執法，因此，只是通過法例，並不會改變過往的歧視情況，亦不會改變公眾對於歧視法例的無知。
The Government only talks the talk without providing support in resources and policies and there are inadequate law enforcement manpower and resources thus the discrimination situation in the past and public ignorance towards discrimination laws will not be changed by the passage of the legislation alone
《條例草案》可填補歧視法例現存的漏洞，亦有助推展平機會在2016年發表的《歧視條例檢討：向政府提交的意見書》中8項需優先處理的建議。
The Bill can plug the loophole in the current anti - discrimination ordinances and will facilitate the implementation of the eight recommendations of priority in the Discrimination Law Review―Submissions to the Government released by EOC in 2016
主席，養兒育女任重道遠。
President parenting involves heavy long - term responsibilities
作為一名父親，我很明白為人母親並不容易，照顧子女要付出龐大精力和心血。
As a father I fully understand that it is never easy to be a mother and child - rearing takes tremendous energy and painstaking efforts
現時，不少母親為了初生嬰兒的健康，都會選擇餵哺母乳，甚至餵哺至嬰兒較年長才停止。
At present many mothers have opted for breastfeeding their newborn babies for health reasons and they may even breastfeed their babies until they reach an older age
香港的母乳餵哺率在過去20年持續上升，出院時的母乳餵哺率由1998年的51%大幅提升至2018年的88%，這個比率確實很高。
Hong Kongs breastfeeding rate has continued to rise in the past 20 years . The breastfeeding rate on hospital discharge has risen significantly from 51 % in 1998 to a really high rate of 88 % in 2018
持續以全母乳餵哺至4個月大的嬰兒比率，亦由1998年的6%提升至2018年的29%。
The percentage of babies being breastfed up to four months old has also increased from 6 % in 1998 to 29 % in 2018
雖然越來越多母親選擇餵哺母乳，香港作為國際大都會，在法例上卻未有提供足夠保障，令婦女在餵哺母乳時免受歧視。
Although an increasing number of mothers have opted for breastfeeding as an international city Hong Kong has no laws to offer pregnant women sufficient protection from being discriminated while breastfeeding
坊間對餵哺母乳的支援確實不足，無論在硬件配套、政策推行，以至市民的態度，仍有很大進步空間。
There is actually insufficient support for breastfeeding in the community . In terms of hardware support policy implementation and public attitude there is still much room for improvement
很多母親向我們反映，要堅持餵哺母乳十分困難。
Many mothers have relayed to us that it is extremely difficult to persist in breastfeeding
主席，反歧視條例在本港已實施29年，因應社會不斷變化，反歧視條例亦應與時並進作出修訂。
President anti - discrimination ordinances have come into force in Hong Kong for 29 years . In the light of the continuous changes in our society anti - discrimination ordinances should also be amended to keep up with the times
《條例草案》明文禁止基於餵哺母乳的歧視，雖然這項建議較其他亞洲地區落後數年，但遲做總比不做好。
The Bill has introduced express provisions prohibiting discrimination on the ground of breastfeeding . While this legislative proposal has come years later than those of other Asian regions it is better late than never
不過，我要強調立法只是保障餵哺母乳的第一步，同時亦有賴政府和各機構提供更多友善環境，多管齊下，才能改善社會的氣氛。
However I must stress that legislation is only the first step to safeguarding breastfeeding; we also rely on the Government and various organizations to create a more mother - friendly environment . Social acceptance can only be improved by adopting a multi - pronged approach
最後，我支持《條例草案》。
Finally I support the Bill
代理主席，首先，我代表因無牌賓館而受滋擾的市民，特別是重災區九龍西、油尖旺、九龍城及深水埗一帶的市民，多謝政府就《旅館業條例》提出修訂。
Deputy President first of all I wish to thank the Government on behalf of the people who suffer from the nuisance caused by unlicensed guesthouses particularly those living in the stricken districts―Kowloon West Yau Tsim Mong Kowloon City and Sham Shui Po―for proposing to amend the Hotel and Guesthouse Accommodation Ordinance
剛才我感到很驚訝，因我看到當年認為必須修訂這項條例以加強對市民的保障的議員，居然投反對票。
Just now I was really surprised as I saw that opposing votes had been cast by Members who considered it necessary to amend this Ordinance to enhance protection for the public back then
所以，我必須指出，民主建港 協進聯盟在2013年年底時，看到有很多無牌賓館發生火警，因此，便提出修訂有關條例以加強監管。
So I must point out that at the end of 2013 the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB saw fire outbreaks at many unlicensed guesthouses and thus proposed amending the Ordinance for enhanced regulation
例如，針對限制經營旅館或只能作住宿而不能作商業用途的樓宇，這次修例便可以確保有法律依據，處理無牌經營問題，以及該大廈不符合只能作為住宿用途的基本要求的情況。
For instance targeting at those buildings that are subject to the restrictions on guesthouse operation or those that can only be used for residential rather than commercial purpose the amendment exercise this time around can ensure a legal basis for dealing with the problem of unlicensed operation and also their non - compliance with the basic requirement on their sole use for residential purpose
根據《條例》的立法原意，解決問題的王道方法，是由處所的主管單位執行大廈公契。
According to the legislative intent of the Ordinance the legitimate approach to the problem is the execution of its DMC by the body in charge of the premises
在過程中，法團可能需要政府部門協助。
In the process the relevant OC may need assistance from government departments
不過，政府當局一直沒有做這方面的工作，以致眾多持牌或無牌經營的賓館在設立的過程中即使沒有考慮地契和公契的限制，也獲發牌照。
Nevertheless the Administration has failed in this task all along . As a result various licensed or unlicensed boarding houses have been issued a licence all the same despite their disregard for land lease or DMC restrictions in the course of establishment
顯而易見，這是政府當局在審批牌照申請的過程中沒有考慮住戶利益而出現的結果。
Obviously this is a result of the Administrations failure to factor in occupants interests in the process of vetting and approving licence applications
正因如此，我認為有關這部分的修訂是合情合理的。
Precisely for this reason I think the amendments concerning this part are sensible and reasonable
畢竟公契本身可能已訂有限制性條款，不得進行商業活動或經營賓館或旅館等。
After all a DMC itself may already contain restrictive provisions forbidding commercial activities or the operation of boarding houses or guesthouses
因此，將履行公契的要求納入成為法例的一部分，我認為這是顯而易見合情合理的做法。
Therefore I think that it is obviously sensible and reasonable to include the requirement of complying with a DMC as part of the law
政府當局注意到全球旅館和賓館的發展，而多位議員在會議的過程中亦提到另一個問題，便是除了大型旅館和賓館外，當局應如何平衡地讓更多散兵游勇式的民宿經營，藉以善用有限空間，為旅遊業的住宿服務作出貢獻。
The Administration has noted the development of guesthouses and boarding houses worldwide . And various Members have also brought up another issue during the meeting the issue of how the authorities should facilitate the operation of more hostels run by individuals in a balanced fashion in addition to large guesthouses and boarding houses for the effective use of our limited space and enabling them to contribute to the provision of accommodation services for the tourism industry
可惜的是，政府當局對此的回應教人深感失望。
Regrettably the Administrations reply in this respect is very disappointing
在制訂旅館及賓館的發牌條件後，政府沒有考慮應否就民宿的發牌問題訂定不同或相對簡便的安排或條件，從而將民宿的發牌問題正規化。
After formulating licensing conditions for guesthouses and boarding houses the Government has not given any thoughts to the question of whether it should draw up different or relatively simple arrangements or conditions for the licensing of hostels as a means to regularize the licensing of hostels
要達到此目的，政府需要拆牆鬆綁。
To this end the Government must remove the obstacles and relax certain restrictions
當然，政府亦同時有責任平衡住戶的利益及樓宇安全等問題。
Of course the Government is likewise duty - bound to strike a balance between various issues such as occupants interests and also building safety
顯而易見，要他們依循大型賓館或旅館的標準申請牌照，其實是叫他們無需申請，因為客觀上他們根本不可能滿足發牌條件或要求。
Obviously requiring them to follow the same licence application standards as large boarding houses or guesthouses is actually tantamount to telling them not to apply for any licences because objectively they cannot possibly satisfy the licensing conditions or requirements at all
為何政府的思考方式往往落後於形勢呢？
Why does the Governments mindset always lag behind the times?
局長多年前曾親自推動旅館業的監管，明白過往民政事務局及民政事務總署由於權力所限，因此在執行旅館業的監管法規時面對相當困難，所以才衍生出《條例草案》。
Many years ago the Secretary personally took forward the monitoring of the hotel and guesthouse industry so he should understand that due to constraints on the ambit of the Home Affairs Bureau and HAD all along they have faced much difficulty in enforcing the rules on regulating the hotel and guesthouse industry and this is how the Bill comes about
最近，李克強總理表示中國的未來發展可能牽涉"地攤經濟"。
Not long ago Premier LI Keqiang said that the future development of China might involve a street vendor economy
政府當局考慮問題時，是否只以"眼不見為乾淨"作為政策選擇的標準呢？
When considering a matter will the Administration adopt a mindset of getting problems out of sight as its criterion for policy selection?
我認為，如是者，政府只會陷入偏頗的狀態。
I think that if the answer is yes the Government will become prejudiced
正確的思路應該是，假設"地攤經濟"是解決當前經濟困局的一種重要手段，那麼善用有限空間做好規劃和規範相比限制地攤出現，是否更有效呢？
The correct line of thought should be this . Suppose a street vendor economy is an important means to resolve the current economic stalemate . Then wont you agree that proper planning and regulation for the purpose of optimizing our limited space will be more effective than restricting the emergence of street vendors?
這對整個社會孰好孰壞呢？
Will this do any good or harm to the entire community?
我相信這並非市民大眾外出旅遊時所得的印象。
I do not believe this is an impression got by people during outbound travels
我希望局長稍後可以就此作出回應，亦希望他會說道會把民宿問題納入他的議事日程，讓民宿的發牌問題在短時間內在立法會的議事堂上展開討論。
I hope the Secretary can give a reply on this later on and tell us that he will put the issue of hostels on his agenda so that discussions on the licensing of home - stay lodgings can commence in the Chamber of the Legislative Council in the near future
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：保安局局長動議的第一組修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the first group of amendments moved by the Secretary for Security be passed
我宣布修正案獲得通過。
I declare the amendments passed
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：第1至21、23、25至47及50至59條，以及附表1及2納入本條例草案。
I now put the question to you and that is That clauses 1 to 21 23 25 to 47 and 50 to 59 and Schedules 1 and 2 stand part of the Bill
全體委員會已完成審議《消防安全條例草案》的所有程序。
All the proceedings on the Fire Safety Bill have been concluded in committee of the whole Council
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：保安局局長動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by the Secretary for Security be passed
代理主席，無論是直接歧視，抑或是間接歧視，任何形式和類型的歧視都不應存在，因為一切歧視都會令人感到不公平和受到較差待遇。
Deputy President all forms and kinds of discrimination be they direct and indirect discrimination should not exist because all kinds of discrimination will make people have a feeling of being unfairly or inferiorly treated
雖然現時有4項反歧視條例，保障市民不會受到基於性別、婚姻狀況、懷孕、殘疾、家庭崗位和種族的歧視，以及不讓性騷擾、涉及殘疾及種族騷擾和中傷的行為發生。然而，有關條例仍然存在漏洞，對市民的保障並不全面，所以，我支持《2018年歧視法例條例草案》，修訂《性別歧視條例》、《殘疾歧視條例》及《種族歧視條例》的多項條文，以擴闊這些條例的保障範圍。
Although there are four anti - discrimination ordinances that protect the public from discrimination on grounds of gender marital status pregnancy disability family status and race and disallow sexual harassment and acts of harassment and vilification involving disability and racial discrimination there are still loopholes in the ordinances and protection given to the public is incomprehensive . For this reason I support the Discrimination Legislation Bill 2018 the Bill to amend various provisions of the Sex Discrimination Ordinance SDO the Disability Discrimination Ordinance and the Race Discrimination Ordinance to broaden the scope of coverage of these ordinances
代理主席，現時在香港，歧視情況非常普遍，我在立法會也曾受到懷孕歧視。
Deputy President discrimination is now very common in Hong Kong . I was also discriminated against in the Legislative Council when I was pregnant
毛孟靜議員曾對我作出批評，質疑我有否能力及應否競選事務委員會副主席。
Ms Claudia MO criticized me queried my working ability and questioned whether I should stand for election as Deputy Chairman of the Panel
其實，在不同地方和工作崗位，市民包括孕婦及其他人士均有可能受到歧視。
In fact members of the public including pregnant women may be subject to discrimination in different places and workplaces
平等機會委員會在2016年完成4項反歧視條例的檢討，並向政府提交意見書，當中包括73項建議，而其中27項建議被視為需要優先處理。
The Equal Opportunities Commission EOC completed the review of four anti - discrimination ordinances in 2016 and put forward submissions to the Government . Among the 73 recommendations proposed by EOC 27 were considered to be of priority
《條例草案》的目的是透過修訂相關法例，推展其中8項需要優先處理的建議。
The purpose of the Bill is to implement eight recommendations of higher priority through amending the relevant ordinances
《性別歧視條例》明文規定，禁止對餵哺母乳的婦女的直接或間接歧視，並將集乳包括在餵哺母乳的定義內。
SDO expressly prohibits direct or indirect discrimination against breastfeeding women and the definition of breastfeeding includes milk collection
此舉對消除現時的歧視情況，以及改變市民對餵哺母乳和在職母親的看法產生極大的作用，亦會提供較大保障。
This will have significant effects on eliminating discrimination and changing the publics views on breastfeeding and working mothers and this will also provide greater protection
有人表示社區沒有足夠的哺乳室，部分在職母親也投訴，在工作時間集乳很不方便，僱主亦表示不滿，集乳的時間亦不足夠。
Some have reflected that there are not enough breastfeeding rooms in the community; some working mothers have complained that they find it inconvenient to collect milk during working hours as their employers have expressed dissatisfaction and there is not enough time for milk collection
政府在這方面進行不少宣傳，有關的教育工作及在公共場所推廣"母乳餵哺友善場所"均有進步。
The Government has carried out a lot of publicity in this regard and there have been improvements in terms of education and promotion of Breastfeeding Friendly Premises in public places
設於政府部門的育嬰間共有324間。
There are only 324 nursery rooms in government departments
我們理解《性別歧視條例》的涵蓋範圍並不寬闊，更可說是狹窄，只是規管僱傭、教育、貨品、服務或設施的提供，處所的處置或管理，以及有關的政府活動等。
We understand that the scope of SDO is not broad but rather narrow only regulating employment education provision of goods services or facilities disposal or management of premises and related government activities etc
代理主席，你或許記得，我曾投訴毛孟靜議員歧視孕婦，但有議員批評我是否正確引用《性別歧視條例》？
Deputy President you may recall that I complained that Ms Claudia MO discriminated against pregnant women but some Members criticized whether I had cited SDO correctly
新訂第8A2條涵蓋餵哺母乳、集乳的作為，以及餵哺母乳的女性。
The new section 8A2 covers breastfeeding and milk collection as well as breastfeeding women
政策原意十分清晰，就是希望餵哺母乳的女性繼續全面平等參與社會和經濟活動，包括在餵哺母乳期間持續就業和重投職場。
The policy intent is very explicit ie . it is hoped that breastfeeding women will continue to fully and fairly participate in social and economic activities including staying in or rejoining the workforce while breastfeeding
當然，在如此狹窄的範圍內提供幫助是一件好事。
Of course it is desirable to provide help within such a narrow range
究竟如何界定直接和間接歧視？
How to define direct and indirect discrimination?
《條例草案》沒有訂明，任何僱主或服務提供者有責任保障和為有需要的員工或僱員提供合理遷就。
The Bill has not stipulated that any employer or service provider is responsible for ensuring and providing reasonable accommodation for staff or employees in need
只要僱主或服務提供者證明要求所有僱員或服務使用者遵守劃一的要求，而該要求有充分理由支持，便不是間接歧視。
As long as the employer or service provider proves that all staff or service users are required to comply with uniform requirements and the requirement is supported by sufficient reasons indirect discrimination does not exist
例如，授乳僱員或服務使用者的需要；僱主或服務提供者的資源、業務規模、運作需要；讓女性僱員或服務使用者授乳對僱主或服務提供者造成的困難，以及授乳僱員的工作性質及工作間面積大小等。
For example the needs of breastfeeding staff or service users; the resources business scale and operational needs of employers or service providers; the difficulties of employers or service providers caused by breastfeeding female staff or service users and the work nature and the size of the work areas of breastfeeding staff
英國的Equality Act 2010闡明不友善對待餵哺母乳的婦女屬性別歧視，任何向公眾提供服務的組織或場地，皆不得對餵哺母乳的婦女作出歧視、滋擾或拒絕提供服務，否則便會觸犯法例。
The Equality Act 2010 of the United Kingdom states that being hostile to breastfeeding women is sex discrimination . Any organization or venue that provides services to the public must not discriminate against harass or refuse to provide service to breastfeeding women; otherwise the law will be violated
法案委員會曾聚焦討論有關餵哺母乳的騷擾問題。
The Bills Committee focuses on discussing the harassment of breastfeeding women
今年年初，政府向立法會提交《2020年性別歧視條例草案》，當中涉及對餵哺母乳的女性的騷擾。
Early this year the Government introduced the Sex Discrimination Amendment Bill 2020 into the Legislative Council which covered harassment of breastfeeding women
很可惜，議員積極主動提出私人法案，但當時政府的反應卻是反對及不贊成，可說是潑了一盆冷水，不想立法。
Regrettably the private bill actively promoted by Ms WU was rejected and opposed by the Government . Her enthusiasm was dampened by the Governments reaction . The Government did not want to legislate on these matters
最後，政府看到市民對於香港訂立反歧視法的反應非常正面，終於在一輪爭議下，政府決定建議胡紅玉收回私人法案，因為個人在立法會提出私人法案非常困難，如果政府不同意，既涉及政策，又涉及金錢，很多事情也不能做。
Ultimately in view of the extremely positive public response to the idea of anti - discrimination legislation in Hong Kong and after much controversy the Government suggested that Ms Anna WU withdraw her private bill on the ground that it was very difficult for Members to succeed in having a private bill passed . If a private bill involves policy matters or has a financial implication it may be rejected by the Government . The leeway for Members to do their work in the form of a private bill is thus very limited
所以，我們現在才走到這一步。
Hence it takes so long for us to achieve so little progress
平機會是在1996年因為我們有這數項反歧視條例而成立的機構。
EOC was established in 1996 because of these anti - discrimination ordinances
這個法定組織已歷時20年，在2016年3月，平機會發表了一份關於歧視條例檢討意見書，提出該數項反歧視條例經過20年在執行時出現很多問題，包括保障範圍不足、不一致等，並提出73項改善建議。
Twenty years after the establishment of this statutory body EOC published a review report on the anti - discrimination ordinances in March 2016 . The report pointed out the many problems arisen over the 20 years in implementing the ordinances which included among others inadequate and inconsistent protection coverage . The report also put forth 73 recommendations to improve the situation
該73項改善建議其實都是希望政府修訂相關法例；而在73項改善建議中，平機會亦按優先次序選出27項，認為必須優先處理，就相關的反歧視條例作出修訂。
The 73 recommendations in general sought to call on the Government to amend the ordinances concerned . Of the 73 recommendations EOC accorded a higher priority to 27 recommendations . It was of the view that amendments should be introduced to the corresponding anti - discrimination ordinances
即使這些建議是平機會作為法定機構提出，或是由很多民間團體或議員提出，政府最終也是在該27項平機會認為應該優先處理的建議中作出篩選，只選出9項而已。
These recommendations are put forth by EOC as a statutory body and many civil groups and Members of this Council . However of the 27 recommendations which according to EOC should be accorded a higher priority the Government only selected nine
因此，政府不是全心全意在社會推動平等機會，以減少、限制或打擊一些歧視行為。
Hence the Government is not wholehearted in promoting equal opportunity with a view to reducing limiting or combating discriminatory acts in society
主席，我剛才說民主黨會支持是次修訂，但其實政府還有很多工作未完成。
President just now I said that the Democratic Party would support the Bill . But actually the Government still has a lot of work yet to be completed
這次要修訂的第一項內容，便是關於餵哺母乳的直接和間接歧視。
The first amendment introduced by the Bill is about direct and indirect discrimination against a woman on the ground of breastfeeding
民主黨一直很支持、鼓勵餵哺母乳，相信對母親和嬰兒也是好的。
The Democratic Party all along supports and encourages breastfeeding . We think this is good to the mother and the baby
雖然我們支持現時的修訂，但我們認為政府鼓勵餵哺母乳的相關政策配套、立法及支援完全未到位，也未足夠，包括女性僱員的產假現時只有10星期，我們希望可以盡快延長至14星期。
Although we support this amendment we think that the Government has failed to provide proper or adequate supporting policy legislation and assistance to encourage breastfeeding . This includes maternity leave for female employees who currently are only entitled to 10 weeks of maternity leave . We hope that the maternity leave can be extended to 14 weeks as soon as possible
其實大多數母親在生育後也願意嘗試餵哺母乳，但最多只能餵哺10星期，接着便要復職上班，一旦上班便很難繼續餵哺母乳。
Actually the majority of the mothers after childbirth are willing to breastfeed their babies . But they can only breastfeed for 10 weeks after which they will have to resume work . Once they go back to work it is very difficult for them to continue breastfeeding since their employers may not allow them to express their breast milk during work hours
因為在工作間老闆未必容許她在工作時間集乳，當然，更未必讓她帶嬰兒上班，因此，集乳時會否受到歧視、阻止，例如有否適合的地方讓她們集乳、有否提供冰箱等，這些除了需要法例外，還需要很多配套。
And of course their employers may not allow them to bring their babies to work . Hence apart from legislation there must be many supporting measures to prohibit discrimination against or hindrance to female employees expressing breast milk . For instance are suitable places available for them to express breast milk?
當然，我們認為《條例草案》第2部其實仍未充分保障餵哺母乳的女性，令她們免受騷擾或中傷。
I think this is a small step forward . We certainly think that Part 2 of the Bill has yet to fully protect breastfeeding mothers from harassment or insult
我們在審議過程中，許智峯議員亦很堅持，認為除了新訂第8A條外，應該也要明文規定不應對餵哺母乳的女性作出騷擾、中傷或任何冒犯的行為。
During scrutiny of the Bill Mr HUI Chi - fung insisted that in addition to the new section 8A another provision should be added to expressly provide against any acts of harassment insult or any other form of offence to breastfeeding women
政府表示會另外提交一項法案，稍後再提交立法會，但本屆立法會的任期即將完結，或許要下一屆立法會才能跟進。
The Government said that it would submit another bill to the Legislative Council later . But this legislative term is about to end . The Government probably has to follow up this issue in the next Legislative Council
