我覺得這些建議非常合理。
I think that these proposals are very reasonable
我認為這項規定意義重大，因為是貫徹香港根據"一國兩制"的制度是行政主導。
I consider this requirement very meaningful as it demonstrates the executive - led style of governance implemented under the regime of one country two systems
因此，我認為通過《條例草案》有利香港政制的長遠發展，有助恢復議會的秩序，並向整個社會發出一個正面信息，就是宣誓的議員，無論是立法會議員、區議員或法官，一定要表裏合一、言行一致。
Thus I think that the passage of the Bill will promote the long - term constitutional development of Hong Kong; facilitate the restoration of order in the legislature and send a positive message to the entire society that a member who takes an oath be it a Member of the Legislative Council or a DC member or a judge shall live up to hisher words and preach what heshe says
除了莊嚴宣誓之外，亦不可以做違反我們國家的憲法、傷害香港的利益或推動"港獨"及勾結外國勢力、要求制裁等行為。
Apart from taking the oath solemnly the oath taker shall not commit acts which contravene the Constitution of our country harm the interests of Hong Kong promote Hong Kong independence collude with foreign forces demand for sanctions etc
因此，我覺得此舉非常有助香港長遠的政制發展。
Thus in my opinion the present move is conducive to the long - term constitutional development of Hong Kong
近年香港真的很荒謬，很多十分理所當然的事都會被無限上綱上線、被抹黑、被扭曲和被妖魔化。
In recent years Hong Kong has been very ridiculous . Many things that should naturally be done have been escalated to the political plane besmirched distorted and demonized
每個人自小便知道，宣誓、發誓當然要莊嚴和真誠，公職人員一定要效忠政府，一定要守法，一定要盡忠職守，而管治者便一定要愛國。
As everyone has known since childhood taking an oath must of course be solemn and sincere; public officers must bear allegiance to the Government abide by the law and be dedicated to their duties; and the person who governs must be patriotic
這些不都是天經地義，理所當然的嗎？
Do they sound perfectly natural and justified?
當發現香港原來不是這樣的時候，很多人都非常譁然。
Many people are very shocked when they found out that this is not the case in Hong Kong
很多市民都認為有否搞錯？
Many members of the public wondered if something had gone wrong
在2019年，他們甚至成為"黑暴"分子之一，支持"攬炒"香港，支持暴力，無限拖延香港的發展，甚至打爛這個議會。
In 2019 they even became black - clad rioters to support the mutual destruction of Hong Kong the use of violence delaying the development of Hong Kong indefinitely and even vandalizing this Council
他們亦勾結外國勢力，制裁香港及我們的國家，嚴重影響國家的安全。
They also collaborated with foreign forces to sanction Hong Kong and our country thereby seriously impacting national security
為何會容許有人利用香港議會平 台做這些事呢？
Why were people allowed to use Hong Kongs legislature as a platform to do such things?
很多市民都認為不應該讓這些事情發生。
Many members of the public think that these things should not be allowed to take place
我們看見一些議員辦事處長期不辦公，長期不服務市民，很多市民投訴無門。
As we can see some DC members offices have been closed most of the time and do not serve members of the public
我們又看到有些人利用自己的辦事處作為宣揚"港獨"的平台，掛滿標語，做了很多根本不應做的事。
Many people thus have nowhere to lodge their complaints . We also noticed that some of them have used their offices as a platform to promote Hong Kong independence by hanging banners all over their offices . They should not have done all these things
此外，有些議員則選擇性服務，說市民不支持他們的政治理念便不服務市民。
Moreover some members provide services selectively saying they will not serve members of the public who do not support their political ideologies
他們是否有心服務香港市民的呢？
Do they really want to serve the people of Hong Kong?
區議員是公職人員，並以公帑支薪，其辦事處亦是以公帑營運，但他們卻選擇性地做自己喜歡的事，做破壞香港甚至危害國家安全的事。
DC members are public officers who are under public payroll and their offices are funded by public money . Nevertheless they choose to do only the things they like something that damages Hong Kong and even endangers national security
很多市民說因為無法規管他們。
Many members of the public attributed this to a lack of regulation on them
我們知道出現問題，所以提出《2021年公職條例草案》以撥亂反正。
Knowing that problems exist the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill was introduced to put things right
主席，我當然支持《條例草案》。
President I certainly support the Bill
何謂擁護《基本法》及效忠特區呢？條文寫得十分清晰，有一份正面清單和一份負面清單。正面清單非常簡單，就是擁護"一國兩制"原則的落實，擁護《基本法》，忠於香港特區，維護香港特區利益等。
For instance the Bill explains very clearly in law the meaning of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples
代理主席，首先，我藉此機會感謝《2021年公職條例草案》委員會主席張宇人議員，以及各位委員、秘書處及法律顧問所作的努力，令《2021年公職條例草案》的審議工作得以順利完成。
Deputy President first of all I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Tommy CHEUNG Chairman of the Bills Committee on Public Offices Bill 2021 and its members the Secretariat and the Legal Adviser for their efforts which resulted in the smooth conclusion of deliberation on the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill
《條例草案》的主要目的，是要準確落實《基本法》第一百零四條及其《關於〈中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法〉第一百零四條的解釋》，以及《香港國安法》中對公職人員宣誓的規定，確保有關公職人員明確理解他們的憲制責任和要求，並保障只有符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"的基本要求的人才能出任相關公職，貫徹"愛國者治港"這個原則，讓"一國兩制"能夠行穩致遠。
The major objective of the Bill is to accurately implement Article 104 of the Basic Law and the Interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China as well as the provisions of the National Security Law on oath - taking by public officers so as to ensure that the public officers concerned clearly understand their constitutional responsibilities and requirements and to ensure that only those who meet the basic requirements of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR can take up the related public offices implement the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong and contribute to the steadfast and successful implementation of the one country two systems principle
《條例草案》的主要修訂範疇包括：一解釋法例中"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"的提述；二引入區議員須作出宣誓的規定；三明確宣誓要求；四劃一由行政長官或其授權人士作為相關公職人員的監誓人；五完善處理違反誓言的情況的機制；及六就不符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"的法定要求和條件的人加入參選限制，以彰顯誓言的莊嚴。
The scope of the major amendments to the Bill includes 1 the meaning of the reference to upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR; 2 the new requirement for members of the District Councils DC to take an oath when assuming office; 3 specifying the requirements for oath - taking; 4 the oath administrators for the public officers concerned are uniformly the Chief Executive or authorized persons; 5 improving the mechanism for handling breach of oath; and 6 those who fail to comply with the statutory requirements and conditions of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR shall be disqualified from standing for elections so as to demonstrate the solemnity of oath - taking
在法案委員會的審議過程中，我們欣悉議員及公眾普遍支持政府盡快落實《條例草案》，亦就個別條文及執行細節進行了深入的討論，表達了不少寶貴的意見。
In the course of deliberation by the Bills Committee we were pleased to learn that Members and the public generally supported the expeditious implementation of the Bill by the Government . We also learnt that Members had in - depth discussions on individual provisions and implementation details as well as expressed valuable views
在此，我希望就議員比較關注的條文和事項作出扼要說明和回應。
Now I would like to briefly expound and respond to the provisions and matters that Members are more concerned about
首先，參照《解釋》、《香港國安法》及《關於香港特別行政區立法會議員資格問題的決定》的規定、過往法庭判決和選舉主任處理提名時所得經驗，《條例草案》修訂《釋義及通則條例》，加入了"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"，透過6項正面清單及9項負面清單行為，令相關的法定要求和條件更加明確和客觀。
First of all with reference to the provisions of the Interpretation the National Security Law and the Decision on Issues Relating to the Qualification of the Members of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC past court decisions and the experience gained by the Returning Officer in handling nominations the Bill has amended the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance by adding upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR . Also the inclusion of the six - item positive list and nine - item negative list has made the relevant statutory requirements and conditions more specific and objective
議員對有關的要求亦作出了不少建議和提問。
Members have also put forward a number of suggestions and questions about the relevant requirements
我希望重申，正、負面清單只是為了使"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"有更清晰的定義，本身並不會施加任何刑事法律責任或帶來法律後果。
I would like to reiterate that the positive and negative lists only seek to define upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR more clearly and will not impose any criminal liability or bring legal consequences
某人是否符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"的法定要求和條件，仍須交由相關的執法主體在考慮了個案的相關事實、證據和情況後作出判定。
Whether a person meets the statutory requirements and conditions of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR would still be determined by the relevant law enforcement body after considering the relevant facts evidence and circumstances of the case
在加入有關定義後，正好讓有意或已經出任相關公職的人士也能更加清楚明白、掌握相關要求。
Having added the relevant definitions people who are interested in or have already taken up the relevant public offices can then have a better understanding and grasp of the relevant requirements
《條例草案》引入了區議員須作出宣誓的規定。
The Bill introduces the oath - taking requirement for DC members
不少議員關注《條例草案》通過後的相關安排。
A lot of Members are concerned about the relevant arrangements following the passage of the Bill
經徵詢民政事務總署，我現簡略說明有關情況。
After consulting the Home Affairs Department I will now explain the situation briefly
若《條例草案》順利獲得通過，條文將於2021年5月21日刊憲當日生效。
If the Bill is smoothly passed the provisions will come into effect on the date of gazettal ie . on 21 May 2021
在原定於2020年舉行的立法會換屆選舉中，共有4名現任區議員被選舉主任裁定為不符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"的法定要求和條件。
In the general election of the Legislative Council originally scheduled to be held in 2020 a total of four incumbent DC members have been ruled by the Returning Officer as incompatible with the statutory requirements and conditions of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR
就該4名區議員而言，根據《條例草案》建議新增的第24條，他們在《條例草案》生效後即喪失出任議員的資格。
As far as the DC members are concerned under new section 242A as proposed in the Bill they will be disqualified from holding office immediately after the commencement of the Bill
因此，在《條例草案》生效後，民政事務總署署長須根據《區議會條例》第321條在21天內，公布他們自《條例草案》生效日期起喪失出任議員的資格。
Therefore when the Bill comes into effect the Director of Home Affairs shall in accordance with section 321 of the District Councils Ordinance declare within 21 days that they have been disqualified from holding office since the commencement date of the Bill
至於其他區議員，民政事務局正研究如何落實相關的宣誓安排，包括宣誓的方式、地點、日期等。
As for other DC Members the Home Affairs Bureau is studying how to implement the relevant oath - taking arrangements including the manner place and date etc . of oath - taking
初步計劃由民政事務局局長在取得行政長官授權後作為監誓人。
The preliminary plan is that the Secretary for Home Affairs will with authorization by the Chief Executive be the oath administrator
在《條例草案》通過後，民政事務局會盡快公布區議員宣誓安排的詳情。
After the passage of the Bill the Home Affairs Bureau will announce the details of the arrangements for oath - taking by DC Members as soon as possible
未能依法宣誓的人將即時喪失出任區議員的資格。
Those who fail to take an oath in accordance with the law will immediately be disqualified from being DC members
《條例草案》亦已規定區議員的誓言必須符合法定要求，包括真誠、莊重。
The Bill also provides that the oath taken by a DC member must meet the statutory requirements including being sincere and solemn
《條例草案》建議，一旦律政司司長以有關立法會或區議會議員違反誓言或不符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"的法定要求和條件為由，根據《立法會條例》第73條或《區議會條例》第79條提出法律程序，則有關議員即時自動暫停職務和職能，直至法庭對有關的訴訟作出最後決定。
The Bill proposes that once the Secretary for Justice SJ brings proceedings in accordance with Article 73 of the Legislative Council Ordinance or Article 79 of the District Councils Ordinance for reasons that the Legislative Council Member or DC member concerned has breached the oath or failed to comply with the statutory requirements and conditions of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR the functions and duties of the person concerned will be immediately suspended automatically until the court has the final decision on the proceedings
在法案委員會審議的階段中，議員對上述安排有相當的討論，剛才亦有議員認為律政司司長獲賦予權力過大，甚至有行政、立法不對稱等言論。
During the deliberation of the Bills Committee Members had considerable discussions on the above arrangements . Just now some Members remarked that SJ has been given too much power and there is disproportionate treatment between the executive authorities and the legislature
我們在此再次重申，條文旨在反映全國人民代表大會常務委員會《解釋》及《關於香港特別行政區立法會議員 資格問題的決定》的相關規定。
We reiterate here that the provisions are intended to reflect the relevant provisions of the Interpretation and the Decision on Qualification of Legislative Council Members
這是很清楚說明"一經"及"即時"。
The wordings upon and immediately are also specified clearly
我們相信人大常委會的原意是不希望這個情況繼續在議會內拖延，希望做到刻不容緩，不應姑息及容忍該情況。
We believe the original intention of NPCSC is that this situation is not expected to continue in the Council and seek to achieve no delay no condoning and no tolerance
因此，我們認為現時的安排是更貼合人大常委會的原意，是恰當而對稱，亦符合香港的整體利益。
Therefore we believe the current arrangement is more consistent with the original intention of NPCSC appropriate and proportionate as well as more compatible with the overall interests of Hong Kong
為作出適當平衡，《條例草案》亦已包括以下條文，以保障有關議員的利益，包括議員有權向高等法院原訟法庭申請解除該項暫停；及為有關法律程序設立"越級上訴機制"，不服原訟法庭判決的一方，在取得終審法院上訴委員會的上訴許可後，可直接向終審法院提出上訴，加快相關司法程序的終局決定。
In order to strike a proper balance the Bill also includes the following provisions to protect the interests of the members concerned which includes the member concerned has the right to apply to Court of First Instance of the High Court CFI to lift such suspension and a leap - frog appeal mechanism has been introduced for the relevant proceedings . A party who is not satisfied with a decision made by CFI may lodge an appeal to the Court of Final Appeal CFA direct subject to leave being granted by the Appeal Committee of CFA thereby ensuring the final decision of the legal proceedings can be attained as soon as possible
有關法律程序須由律政司司長提出，方會有暫停職能/職務的情況。
The relevant legal proceedings must be brought by SJ before the functions and duties are suspended
我希望強調，律政司司長在考慮是否提出有關的法律程序時，必定是以公眾利益為依歸，會嚴格按照法律所授予或施加的權利和義務行事，議員無須過於憂慮。
I would like to emphasize that when considering whether the relevant legal proceedings should be brought SJ must have full regard to public interest strictly abide by the rights and obligations granted or imposed by the law and take timely legal actions against the persons concerned . Hence Members need not worry too much
另外，在考慮了法案委員會的建議後，我們稍後在全體委員會審議階段會提出修正案，處理兩項有關酬金等待遇的安排，以進一步明確政策原意。
In addition after considering the recommendations of the Bills Committee we will later propose amendments at the Committee stage to deal with two arrangements related to remuneration and other benefits to further clarify the original policy intent
一、是訂明有關議員在暫停職務期間，不應享受相應待遇；及二、是訂明若法庭裁定某議員在某天已喪失資格，他亦應自該天起喪失享受相應待遇的資格。
First to specify that the member concerned should not enjoy the corresponding treatment during the period of suspension; second to specify that if the court rules that a member has been disqualified from being a member on a certain day he should also be disqualified from enjoying the corresponding treatment from that day onwards
上述的修正案都已獲得法案委員會的支持。
The above amendments have the support of the Bills Committee
另外，亦有議員在法案委員會會議上關注有關選舉委員會委員的宣誓安排。
Furthermore some Members expressed concern at a meeting of the Bills Committee about the oath - taking arrangements for Election Committee members
相信不少議員亦已留意到，我們已經在《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》中加入了相關的規定。
I believe quite a number of Members have also noticed that we have added the relevant provisions to the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021
代理主席，為了讓我們可以早日落實及完善有關公職人員宣誓規定，確保"愛國者治港"，履行特區政府的憲制責任，回應社會各界的 關注及訴求，我請各位議員支持通過二讀《條例草案》，以及我稍後動議的修正案。
Deputy President in order to implement and improve the relevant provisions on oath - taking by public officers at an early date so as to ensure that patriots administering Hong Kong the SAR Government fulfilling the constitutional responsibility and responding to the concerns and aspirations of various sectors of the community I urge Members to support the passage of the Second Reading of the Bill and the amendments that I will move later
主席，政府動議的修正案，分別修正《2021年公職條例草案》第21及26條。
Chairman the amendments moved by the Government seek to amend clauses 21 and 26 of the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill respectively
相關的修訂主要是因應法案委員會的意見，就有關酬金等待遇安排作出的修訂。
The relevant amendments are proposed in response to the views of the Bills Committee to amend the arrangements for relevant entitlements such as remuneration
我現在簡略說明修正案的目的。
I will now briefly explain the purposes of the amendments
首先，修訂《條例草案》第212及262條，該等條文訂明了《條例草案》建議一旦律政司司長以有關立法會議員/區議員違反誓言或不符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠特區"的法定要求和條件為由，提出法律程序，則有關議員即時自動暫停職能和職務，直至法庭對有關的訴訟有最終決定。
Firstly to amend clauses 212 and 262 . As provided in those clauses the Bill proposes that immediately after legal proceedings are brought by the Secretary for Justice against a Legislative CouncilDistrict Council DC member on the grounds of breach of oath or failure to fulfil the legal requirements and conditions on upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region the functions and duties of the Legislative CouncilDC member will be suspended until the decision of the court becomes final
雖然我們認為原本的《條例草案》已可藉立法會/區議會既有的權力或行政安排處理有關事宜，但我們不反對進一步明確政策原意。
While we believe the original proposal in the Bill could handle the concerned matters with existing powers or administrative arrangement of the Legislative CouncilDCs we do not object to further clarify the policy intent
因此，我們建議修訂《條例草案》第212及262條，以在《立法會條例》第73條及《區議會條例》第79條加入條文，明確有關議員在暫停職務期間"不得享受任何相應待遇"。
Therefore we propose to amend clauses 212 and 262 to add provisions to section 732C of the Legislative Council Ordinance and section 792C of the District Councils Ordinance to specify that the member concerned must not enjoy any corresponding entitlements during the suspension of duties
其次，我們亦建議修訂《條例草案》第213及263條，以訂明若某人根據《立法會條例》第73條或《區議會條例》第79條提出的法律程序，獲證明於某日開始喪失以議員身分行事的資格，則他由該日開始不再有權享有任何相應待遇。
Secondly we also propose to amend clauses 213 and 263 to specify that if in proceedings brought under section 73 of the Legislative Council Ordinance or section 79 of the District Councils Ordinance it is proved that a person was disqualified from acting as a member beginning on a date he or she ceased to be entitled to any corresponding entitlement beginning on that date
這是因應法案委員會委員建議作出的修訂，與《解釋》及《關於香港特別行政區立法會議員資格問題的決定》的規定和精神相符。
These amendments are made in light of the suggestions of the members of the Bills Committee and are in line with the regulations and spirits of the Interpretation and the Decision on Issues Relating to the Qualification of the Members of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
另外，因應法案委員會法律顧問的建議，我們亦對《條例草案》第26及262條作出技術修訂，以確保在該條文中行文用字的一致性。
Besides in view of the recommendations of Bills Committees Legal Adviser technical amendments have also been made to clauses 26 and 262 of the Bill for consistency of wording
我們已向法案委員會介紹上述有關的修訂，法案委員會亦支持我們的建議。
We have introduced the above amendments to the Bills Committee and the Bills Committee also support our proposals
我懇請委員支持這些修正案。
I implore Members to support these amendments
我在這裏再次感謝委員在《2021年公職條例草案》的審議期間提出的寶貴意見，令我們的政策原意更清楚。
I would hereby thank members again for their valuable views expressed during the course of deliberation of the Public Offices Bill 2021 which have clarified our policy intent
這項修正案清楚訂明相關的薪酬安排，包括：第一，如果有議員因為律政司司長提出法律程序而被暫停職務和職能的情況，他不應享受相應的待遇；第二，如果在根據《立法會條例》第73條或《區議會條例》第79條提出的法律程序中，證明某人在某日開始喪失以議員身份行事的資格，他由該日開始便不再享有任何相應的待遇。
The amendments have clearly provided for the relevant remuneration arrangements . These include first if a member whose functions and duties are suspended as a result of proceedings brought by the Secretary for Justice no corresponding entitlements shall be enjoyed by him or her . Second if in proceedings brought under section 73 of the Legislative Council Ordinance or section 79 of the District Councils Ordinance it is proved that a person was disqualified from acting as a member beginning on a date the person ceased to be entitled to any corresponding entitlement beginning on that date
政策原意是十分清楚的。
The policy intent is very clear
民政事務局方面會以此作為基礎，制訂相關的指引。
The Home Affairs Bureau will use this as the basis for formulating the relevant guidelines
代理主席，我支持政府提出《2021年公職條例草案》。
Deputy President I support the Public Offices Bill 2021 the Bill proposed by the Government
《基本法》第一百零四條明確訂明香港特別行政區5類公職人員，即行政長官、主要官員、行政會議成員、立法會議員、各級法院法官和其他司法人員在就職時必須依法宣誓"擁護《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》，效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區"。
Article 104 of the Basic Law expressly provides that five categories of public officers namely the Chief Executive principal officials Members of the Executive Council and of the Legislative Council judges of the courts at all levels and other members of the judiciary in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR must in accordance with law swear to uphold the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China when assuming office
全國人民代表大會常務委員會在2016年通過《關於〈中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法〉第一百零四條的解釋》，說明宣誓是出任《基本法》第一百零四條所列公職的法定條件和必經程序，並必須符合法定的形式和內容要求。
The Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress endorsed the Interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China in 2016 which explains that oath - taking is the legal prerequisite and required procedure for public officers specified in Article 104 of the Basic Law to assume office and must comply with the legal requirements in respect of its form and content
《解釋》亦明確指出，宣誓人若作出虛假宣誓，或者在宣誓之後從事違反誓言的行為，必須依法承擔責任。
The Interpretation also makes it clear that an oath taker who makes a false oath or who after taking the oath engages in conduct in breach of the oath shall bear legal responsibility in accordance with the law
"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"是對治港者及公職人員的基本要求，亦是他們的根本義務和責任，這是確立"愛國者治港"原則的重要基礎。
Upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR are the basic requirements for as well as the fundamental obligations and duties of the administrators and public officers of Hong Kong
《條例草案》的立法目的是準確落實《基本法》第一百零四條及《解釋》，以及《香港國安法》中公職人員宣誓規定的立法目的和原意，確保公職人員明確理解他們的憲制責任和要求，以及只有符合"擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特區"這項基本要求的人才能出任公職。
This serves as an important basis for establishing the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong . The legislative purpose of the Bill is to accurately implement Article 104 of the Basic Law and the Interpretation as well as the legislative purpose and intent of the oath - taking requirements for public officers stipulated in the National Security Law thereby ensuring that public officers understand their constitutional duties and requirements clearly and only those who fulfil the basic requirements of upholding the Basic Law and bearing allegiance to HKSAR are allowed to hold public office
我們亦看到，在今天討論這項《條例草案》，甚至《條例草案》很有可能獲通過前，近日陸續有越來越多區議員辭職或表明不會宣誓，不斷"跳船"，原因為何？
We also noticed that as it is highly likely for the Bill under discussion today to get passed more and more DC members have resigned or indicated that they will not take the oath . Why do they keep jumping ship?
我也有加入法案委員會。
I am also a member of the Bills Committee
我們在法案委員會上討論的其中一個重點，而當局亦會提出修訂的，是違例並非由法庭裁決開始計算，而是由違反誓言一刻開始計算，而所追討的薪津不只是有關公職人員的薪酬，還包括聘請助理等政府津助。
One of the main issues discussed in the Bills Committee on which an amendment will be proposed by the Administration is that the contravention of the relevant legislation is deemed as starting from the moment the oath is breached rather than the time the Court delivers the judgment and the remuneration and allowances to be recovered include not only the remuneration of the public officer in question but also the government allowance for employing assistants etc
我膽敢預告或估計，在宣誓日之前，應該還有一些人會辭職，因為他們不想墮入法網。
I dare to predict or anticipate that before the day DC members are to take the oath some more of them will resign because they do not want to be caught by the law
我認為在《條例草案》通過之後，當然要繼續觀察，但這點亦值得我們思考。
In my view while further observations are certainly needed after the passage of the Bill this issue is also worth our consideration
雖然某些公職人員已經辭職，但在擔任公職期間犯盡所有錯誤行為，我認為他們亦應負上一定責任，這樣似乎較為合適。
I think those public officers who have committed all sorts of misconduct while in office should bear some responsibilities despite their resignation . This seems more appropriate
此外，《條例草案》參考過往法庭判決及選舉主任處理提名時的經驗，整合出正面及負面清單，我個人認為這是好事，至少可供參考。
In addition a positive list and a negative list are drawn up under the Bill with reference to previous court judgments and Returning Officers experience in handling nominations . I personally find this a good idea as the lists can at least be used for reference
