政府會因應研究結果、家庭議會的意見及其他相關的因素，考慮未來路向。
The Government will having regard to the findings of the study views of the Family Council and other relevant factors consider the way forward
主席，社會和政府長期忽視這些離婚家庭，尤其是單親家庭的需要。
President society and the Government have long ignored the needs of these divorced families particularly single - parent families
追討贍養費的問題，其實很多社福機構、團體、很多單親家庭的組織在這數年不斷向我求助和反映，我們在議會內亦有反映這方面的意見。
As regards the issue of recovering maintenance payments many social welfare institutions and groups as well as organizations for single - parent families have actually kept seeking help from me and conveying their views to me over the years . In this connection we have also reflected our views on this issue in the legislature
我看過很多單親媽媽一邊說一邊哭，真的很慘。
I have witnessed quite a number of single mothers crying while telling their stories which is really heart - wrenching
根據局長剛才的主體答覆，好像看到在香港，相關人士有很多事可以做，如果沒有錢，可以申請綜援，如果追討贍養費不果，可以打官司，申請法庭禁制令。
According to the Secretarys main reply just now it seems that in Hong Kong there are many things that these people can do . If they are hard up for money they can apply for CSSA . If they fail to recover any maintenance payments they can file a lawsuit and apply to the Court for a Prohibition Order
但事實是，很多單親媽媽要外出工作，才能免受有時能收到、有時收不到贍養費的影響。
However the fact is that many single mothers have to go out to work so that they will not be affected by the intermittent maintenance payments
如果她們一旦失業，同時未能收取贍養費，整個家庭，包括小孩的生活費也完全沒有着落。
If they lose their jobs and fail to receive maintenance payments their whole families including their children will be left with no money to live on
即使可以申請法庭禁制令，禁止支付一方離港，但訴訟期可能要兩三年，受款人還要先拿錢支付律師費。
Even if the payee can apply to the Court for a Prohibition Order to prohibit the payer from leaving Hong Kong the litigation proceedings may take two or three years and the payee needs to pay the solicitors fees first
所以，就我們聽到的眾多個案而言，現時整個制度無法協助需要追討贍養費的單親家庭，尤其是單親媽媽。
Judging from the cases we have come across the entire system is now unable to assist single - parent families particularly single mothers who need to recover maintenance payments
因此，我真的希望政府聽到他們的聲音，可以研究仿效外國設立統一的機構和計劃，真正協助這些單親家庭追討贍養費，方法有很多。
For this reason I sincerely hope that the Government can hear their voices consider following the examples of overseas countries by setting up a specialized agency and scheme so as to truly assist such single - parent families in recovering maintenance payments . There are various approaches that can be adopted
如果政府繼續這樣答覆我們，這些單親家庭面對的問題其實一直被忽略，亦未能解決。
If the Government continues to give us such a reply problems faced by these single - parent families will only be ignored and fail to be solved
我們在進行研究檢討時，並沒有停步。
While conducting the study and review we have not ceased moving forward
另外，剛才提到申請法律援助的安排中，我們翻看過去5年，法援署平均處理執行贍養令申請的時間大約為50多天。
In addition as regards the arrangements for legal aid applications mentioned just now we have learned that it took an average of 50 - odd days for LAD to process an application for enforcing a maintenance order over the past five years
如果有關人士透過 法援署申請獲得法律援助證書，但遇到被拖欠的情況，亦可以申請擴大法律援助證書的範圍來執行贍養令。
If a person has applied for and received a Legal Aid Certificate from LAD but the maintenance payments are in default she can also apply for extending the scope of the Legal Aid Certificate to enforce the maintenance order
其實，我們會繼續審視細節，從用者的角度出發，繼續優化現有的制度。
In fact we will continue to examine the details and continue to enhance the existing system from the user perspective
當中，就簡化綜援受助人追討贍養費欠款的程序，我們亦正進行一些改善。
In this connection we are making improvements to simplify the procedure for CSSA recipients to recover the arrears of maintenance payments
在研究完成後，我們會再向家庭議會匯報。
Upon the conclusion of the study we will further report to the Family Council
同時，我相信我們屆時亦會與議員研究及考慮將來的發展方向。
At the same time I believe that we will then examine and consider the way forward with Members
主席，其實，看到主體答覆，尤其第一段，我真的很生氣。
President the main reply particularly the first paragraph actually infuriates me
我們現在說的是如何追討贍養費，局長還要跟我們說"和睦家庭是和諧社會的基石"，很多單親媽媽真的看到"眼火爆"。
We are now talking about how to recover maintenance payments but the Secretary is still telling us that family harmony is the foundation of a harmonious community . Many single mothers are really infuriated at the reply
我不知道局長是否知悉，近年家事法庭有很多襲擊案，如前夫刀刺前妻等，也有大律師被襲擊。
I wonder whether the Secretary is aware that there have been many assaults cases in the Family Court in recent years such as ex - husbands stabbing their ex - wives or barristers being attacked
所以，女士提出申請交付羈押令或判決傳票非常困難，門檻非常高。
Therefore it is very difficult for the lady to apply for an order of committal or Judgment Summon . The threshold is very high
我想問局長，有否備存數字，顯示過往這麼多年，究竟有多少人真的因為沒有支付贍養費而被捕入獄呢？
May I ask the Secretary whether he has compiled any statistics on how many people have really been arrested and imprisoned for failing to pay maintenance over the years?
這不是解決問題的方法。
This is not the way to address the problem
以往我在勞工及福利局工作時，大家也曾提出類似問題。
In the past when I worked with the Labour and Welfare Bureau similar questions were likewise raised
婦女尤其是單親婦女面對的困難，不僅涉及贍養費的問題。
The difficulties faced by women especially single mothers are not limited to maintenance payments
很多時候，如果能提供很多不同的服務，例如託兒服務，她們便可以騰出自己的空間和時間來工作就業，所以我們需要檢視整體政策。
In many cases if many different services such as child care services can be provided they can free up their own capacity and time for work or employment . For this reason we need to examine the overall policy
首先，我們要搜集有關香港人口的情況。
First we need to collect information on the population of Hong Kong
所以，在本次研究中，我們會包含離婚人口的年齡、經濟背景和執行情況。
As such we will include in this study the age and economic background of divorcees and the enforcement situation
過去，我們希望能夠盡快進行研究，但因為疫情，訪談工作略為拖慢，但不會停止。
We previously hoped to conduct our study as soon as possible but because of the pandemic the interviews were slightly delayed . However we will not cease our efforts
正如我剛才所說，我們會同步優化現有制度，尤其是很多經濟上很有需要的家庭，例如他們申請綜援時，有些優化的內容無需等我們完成報告就已經推出。
As I have said just now we will improve the existing system at the same time particularly for many financially needy families . For example in respect of their CSSA applications certain improvements have already been made for them without having to wait for our completion of the report
主席，對於香港而言，今天是一個歷史性的時刻，因為立法會正在審議的《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》，能夠從選舉制度上落實"愛國者治港"，推動香港提升管治質素和效率，實現良政善治，保障香港長遠繁榮穩定。
President today is a historical moment to Hong Kong because the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill under deliberation by the Legislative Council now can implement patriots administering Hong Kong in the electoral system and give impetus to Hong Kong in enhancing the quality and efficiency of governance thereby achieving good governance and safeguarding Hong Kongs long - term prosperity and stability
《香港國安法》實施後，香港市面大致回復平靜，但選舉制度的漏洞和缺陷仍然存在，對國家安全及香港社會穩定構成直接威脅。
After the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law peace has by and large been restored in Hong Kong but the loopholes and deficiencies of the electoral system have remained posing direct threats to national security and social stability in Hong Kong
全國人民代表大會常務委員會早前全票通過修改《基本法》附件一及附件二，為進一步完善香港選舉制度訂定具體方案，從根本上堵塞選舉漏洞，確保"愛國者治港"，我認為絕對有必要性和迫切性。
Some time ago the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress endorsed unanimously the amendment of Annexes I and II to the Basic Law setting out specific plans to further improve the electoral system in Hong Kong with a view to plugging the loopholes of elections at root and ensuring patriots administering Hong Kong . This I think absolutely has necessity and urgency
特區政府亦有責任透過本地立法落實全國人民代表大會的《決定》，阻止反中亂港勢力進入管治架構。
The SAR Government is also duty - bound to implement the Decision of the National Peoples Congress NPC through local legislation in order to stop anti - China forcesfrom entering the governing structure
因此，我會全力支持通過《條例草案》。
Therefore I will fully support the passage of the Bill
主席，回歸以來，"一國兩制"實踐過程中出現種種亂象，暴露了香港選舉制度存在的漏洞，特別在這數年，一些反中亂港及本土主義的分裂勢力公然鼓吹"港獨"主張，企圖利用制度上的灰色地帶，癱瘓特區政府運作，甚至奪取香港的管治權。
President since the handover we have seen chaos happening during the implementation of one country two systems and this has exposed loopholes in the electoral system of Hong Kong . Particularly in recent years some anti - China forces and radical local separatists openly advocated Hong Kong independence and attempted to take advantage of the grey areas in the system to paralyse the operation of the SAR Government and even usurp the power to govern Hong Kong
一些反對派政客利用立法會和區議會平台及其公職人員身份，阻撓特區政府施政，公然宣揚對抗國家主張，為"港獨"勢力搖旗吶喊，甚至走到外國"唱衰"香港，邀請反華勢力及外國勢力插手香港特區事務，他們的種種行為均嚴重挑戰"一國兩制"原則底線。
Some politicians from the opposition camp used the platforms of the Legislative Council and District Councils as well as their capacity as public officers to obstruct the policy administration of the SAR Government . They openly advocated ideas in opposition to the country and beat the drum for Hong Kong independence forces . They even went abroad to badmouth Hong Kong inviting anti - China and foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of HKSAR
2019年下半年，"黑暴"橫行、外國勢力指手劃腳，一些政客煽動年輕人以身試法，公然宣揚"港獨"，衝擊立法會、警察總部、政府總部甚至是中央駐港機構，試問哪個國家會容許這些事情發生呢？
All these acts have seriously challenged the baseline of the one country two systems principle . The second half of 2019 saw riots running wild and foreign forces exerting undue influences . Some politicians incited young people to defy the law by flagrantly advocating Hong Kong independence and storming the Legislative Council the Police Headquarters Central Government Offices and even offices set up by the Central Authorities in Hong Kong
這次由中央出手填補香港選舉漏洞，建立一套符合香港實際情況，並具有香港特色的民主選舉制度，為落實"愛國者治港"提供不可挑戰的法律保障，我認為除有效維護國家主權外，亦能保障香港長遠繁榮穩定，意義非常重大且深遠。
Tell me which country will allow these things to happen? . Now the Central Authorities have taken the initiative to mend the loopholes in Hong Kong elections setting up an electoral system in the light of the actual situation of Hong Kong with Hong Kong characteristics and also providing unchallengeable legal safeguards for implementing patriots administering Hong Kong . I think this apart from effectively upholding the national sovereignty can also safeguard the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and so this has profound and far - reaching meaning
說回今天審議的《條例草案》，內容十分具體和詳細，涵蓋面非常廣泛，將全國人大完善選舉制度的安排具體化和清晰化。
Turning back to the Bill under deliberation today I must say that its provisions are most specific and detailed . Its coverage is very extensive setting out in most concrete terms and with great clarity NPCs arrangements for improving the electoral system
《條例草案》羅列日後1,500名選舉委員會委員的產生方法，包括由個人或團體選舉產生、當然委員及由指定合資格團體提名產生，亦列明各個界別分組所涉及的團體或組織等名單，整個架構十分全面及多元化，充分體現具廣泛代表性和均衡參與的原則，既符合香港整體利益，亦有助推動香港民主穩步前行。
The Bill sets out the method for returning the 1 500 Election Committee EC members in future who will comprise members returned by individual or corporate voters ex - officio members and members nominated by designated eligible bodiesIt also sets out the lists of bodies or organizations involved in various subsectors . The entire structure is most comprehensive and diversified bringing into full play the principle of broad representativeness and balanced participation . This is in the overall interest of Hong Kong and helpful to taking forward Hong Kongs democratic development steadily
立法會方面，90個議席劃分為40席由選委會界別選出、30席由功能界別選出，另有20席為分區直選議席。
In respect of the Legislative Council the 90 seats will be made up by 40 seats returned by EC constituency 30 seats by functional constituencies and the remaining 20 seats by geographical constituencies through direct elections
有關規定有利在政策制訂過程中汲取各界聲音，兼顧社會各階層的聲音和訴求。
These provisions can help incorporate views from various sectors of the community in the process of policy formulation having regard to the voices and aspirations of various social strata
同時，新增 的候選人資格審查委員會也能夠阻止反中亂港勢力進入政權架構，有利於全面貫徹落實"愛國者治港"的原則。
In the meantime the newly established Candidate Eligibility Review Committee can also stop anti - China forces from entering the political structure which is conducive to fully and faithfully implementing the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
主席，香港是國際金融中心，工商和專業界的聲音對香港發展舉足輕重。
President Hong Kong is an international financial centre . The views of the business and industrial sector and the professional sectors are pivotal to the development of Hong Kong
這次為立法會新增設商界議席，並且為選委會新增設15個中小企議席，我認為日後工商界在立法會和選委會的代表性將會更廣泛、更均衡、更全面。
With the addition of a seat for commercial third subsector in the Legislative Council and 15 seats for small and medium enterprises in EC I think the representativeness of the business and industrial sector in the Legislative Council and in EC will be more extensive more balanced and more comprehensive
我也相信日後立法會新增設的40個選委會議席將會有不少代表來自工商專業界，為有意從政的工商專業界人士和年輕人帶來更廣泛的議政和參政空間。
I also believe many of the newly - added 40 EC seats in the Legislative Council in future will be taken up by representatives from the business and industrial sector . To members of the business and industrial sector and young people with political aspirations this will provide greater room for public policy discussion and participation in politics
我相信在未來的立法會選舉，競爭仍然會很激烈。
I believe competition will still be fierce in future Legislative Council elections
作為立法會議員，除了要有堅定的立場和擔當，亦要深刻認識國情和擁有正確的判斷能力，帶領香港融入國家發展大局。
Apart from standing firm and making steadfast commitments Members of the Legislative Council must also have an in - depth understanding of our country and the ability to make judgments correctly in order to lead Hong Kong to integrate into the overall development of our country
從政者亦必須對香港經濟和民生問題有透徹了解，就解決香港的深層次問題，包括房屋問題、就業情況、人口老化、經濟轉型等，提出有見地和可以執行的建議。
Politicians must thoroughly understand the problems pertaining to the economy and peoples livelihood in Hong Kong and put forward discerning and practicable suggestions for resolving the deep - seated problems in Hong Kong in such respects as housing employment ageing population economic restructuring and so on
主席，在反修例運動和新冠疫情的雙重夾擊下，香港已經沒有吵吵鬧鬧的本錢，社會已經凝聚了求穩定、求和諧、求發展的主流民意。
President after being dealt double blows by acts against the proposed legislative amendments and the novel coronavirus epidemic Hong Kong can no longer afford incessant quarrelling and squabbling . The mainstream public view in society is to seek stability harmony and development
我們必須盡快完善選舉制度，確保有能力的愛國者加入管治架構。
We must expeditiously improve the electoral system in order to ensure that competent patriots will join the governing structure
我們可以預期完成修例之後，以行政長官為核心的管治團隊，位置將更為突出，作用更為重要。
We can expect that after the passage of the Bill the governing team under the core leadership of the Chief Executive will have a more clear - cut position and play a more important role
未來1年，香港有3場重要的選舉，特區政府需要積極落實全國人大的《決定》，妥善處理未來1年各項選舉的安排，過程中亦需要聆聽社會各界意見，做好公眾解說的工作。
Hong Kong will hold three major elections in the coming year . It is necessary for the SAR Government to actively implement the Decision of NPC and properly make arrangements for the various elections to be held in the coming year and in the process it is necessary to listen to the views of various sectors of the community and aptly explain the details to the public
我們也期望特區政府能全面配合落實"愛國者治港"的原則，包括未來在公務員招聘和培訓方面作出改革，在教育方面作出改革，並且透過加強宣傳，讓"愛國者治港"的原則深入民心。
We also expect the SAR Government to provide full support for the implementation of the patriots administering Hong Kong principle by among others introducing reforms to the recruitment and training of civil servants and to education and also stepping up publicity so that the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong can take root in the hearts of the people
主席，完善選舉制度後，"一國兩制"將步入新階段。
President after the improvement of the electoral system one country two systems will move into a new phase
我期望香港社會各界團結一致，回歸理性，聚焦解決社會深層次問題，包括房屋、土地、貧窮及就業問題等。
I hope that various sectors of the community will stand united and adopt a rational attitude again focusing attention on resolving the deep - seated problems in society including problems relating to housing land poverty and employment
至於新的立法會組成之後也應該展現出新會風，提升議事質素及辦事效率，讓投資者安心在香港投資，讓全港市民都能夠安居樂業。
After its formation the new Legislative Council should also display a new style of work by enhancing the quality of public policy discussion and work efficiency so that investors will feel at ease in making investment in Hong Kong and all the citizens of Hong Kong can live a peaceful and contented life
主席，我發言支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》恢復二讀。
President I speak in support of the resumption of the Second Reading debate on the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill
然而，荃灣海旁的海水現仍不時散發臭味。
However the seawater near the waterfront of Tsuen Wan still gives off stenches from time to time
此外，葵涌貨櫃碼頭的貨櫃船於泊岸後仍持續排放污染物，造成空氣污染問題。
Besides container vessels continue to emit pollutants after berthing at the Kwai Chung Container Terminals KCCTs causing air pollution problem
主席，局長有時候說話有點前後矛盾。
President sometimes the Secretary is a bit inconsistent in what he says
停車熄匙便說可以減少碳排放，但停船熄匙卻說沒甚麼作用，這說法令人難以理解，但我想追問的是有關荃灣的旱季截流器的問題。
It is said that switching off idling vehicles can reduce carbon emissions but switching off idling vessels will not have much effect . Such a remark is incomprehensible . Nevertheless I would like to follow up on DWFIs in Tsuen Wan
這4個旱季截流器，我們當時一起爭取及等待了10多年，政府告訴我們設置後將可達致七成改善，但近來居民卻發現海水依然有臭味，有時候甚至較以往更臭。
We have strived and waited for these four DWFIs for more than 10 years . The Government told us that the installation could achieve an improvement rate of 70 % . Recently however the residents have found that the seawater still gives off stenches
以往建造旱季截流器時，我曾經提出一項建議，就是為何不在下游一次過收集所有污水？
Sometimes it is even worse than before . In the past when DWFIs were being built I made a suggestion . That is why not collect all the sewage downstream at one go?
這樣便可以一了百了，但當時得到的答覆是無須這樣，只要在上游做便可以，但結果現時又要在下游再做。
This could put things right once and for all . But the answer I received at that time was that there was no need to do so . It would be fine as long as the work was done upstream
即使要來立法會申請撥款，我相信在座各位議員也會很支持這類改善民生的措施。
Even if funding approval from the Legislative Council is required I believe Members here will be very supportive of this kind of measures for improving peoples livelihood
局長會否就着這項有利於處理海水臭味的建議，提早向立法會申請撥款，讓它可以盡早實行呢？
Will the Secretary seek funding approval from the Legislative Council earlier for this proposal which is conducive to tackling the seawater odour so that it can be implemented as soon as possible?
主席，就着荃灣的海水臭味問題，政府必須認真處理。
President the Government must seriously deal with the seawater odour problem in Tsuen Wan
不過，現時已經動工的，只有九龍區大角咀住宅區海旁的櫻桃街，其他仍然納入在中期發展，有些更未有選址，紅 磡、土瓜灣和長沙灣的工程亦要等到2029年才完成。
Others are still included in mid - term development . Some are even pending site identification . Moreover the works in Hung Hom To Kwa Wan and Cheung Sha Wan will not be completed until 2029
所以，首先，局長可否把這些工程盡量加快呢？
Therefore first of all can the Secretary expedite these works as far as possible?
因為近岸有很多居民居住。
Because there are many residents living near the shore
另一方面，在2029年之前有否短期措施，包括使用氣味控制水凝膠和清理污泥，多做一些工作，令短期內也可以減輕臭味，以及有指標性的作用，可以按一些指標作出檢視呢？
Meanwhile before 2029 will there be any short - term measures including the use of odour - control hydrogel and desludging so that in the short term more work can be done to reduce odour and something can serve as an indicator according to which a review can be conducted?
主席，荃灣海水臭味的源頭是因為荃灣舊樓的糞渠污水流入大海，環境保護署估計由錯駁渠管引致的污染排放量約佔全港近岸水域總污染排放量的三成，是海水臭味的根本問題，治本方案是處理日久失修和喉管錯駁的問題。
President the source of the seawater odour in Tsuen Wan is the sewage flowing from dung channels in old buildings in Tsuen Wan into the sea . The Environmental Protection Department EPD estimates that the pollution discharge from misconnected drains accounts for about 30 % of the total pollution discharge into inshore waters in Hong Kong . It is the root of the seawater odour problem
荃灣"三無大廈"林立，業主把污水管誤駁雨水渠，環保署按照《水污染管制條例》展開調查，然後交由屋宇署對違例建築工程採取執法行動。
The fundamental solution is to tackle the problem of dilapidation and misconnection of drains . Tsuen Wan abounds with three - nil buildings where owners have misconnected sewers to stormwater drains . EPD would initiate investigation under the Water Pollution Control Ordinance and then refer the cases to the Buildings Department BD for enforcement against unauthorized building works
申訴專員公署早前批評政府部門處理舊樓錯駁渠管的個案出現延誤，環保署的數據顯示，荃灣區有23宗這些錯駁的個案，當中七成個案積壓超過兩年，有些個案拖延超過11年。
Earlier on the Office of The Ombudsman has criticized government departments for the delay in handling cases of misconnection of drains in old buildings . As shown by EPDs data there are 23 such cases of misconnection in Tsuen Wan of which 70 % have been pending for more than two years while some have been delayed for more than 11 years
今年3月，申訴專員公署建議環保署檢討這項條例，考慮修例提升該署的執法效能，以及要求屋宇署加強向不遵從法定命令的"三無大廈"業主提出檢控。
In March this year the Office of The Ombudsman suggested that EPD review this Ordinance and consider amending it to enhance the enforcement effectiveness of the department . It also requested BD to step up prosecution against owners of three - nil buildings who fail to comply with statutory orders
主席，局長的答覆提到旱季截流器，其實當時政府部門代表在上屆區議會解釋時，提到旱季截流器在設置後便能夠這樣、那樣，是很厲害的。
President the Secretarys reply mentioned DWFIs . Actually during their elaboration in the District Council of the last term the representatives of government departments said that after installation DWFIs could do this and that . They were very powerful
但現在卻發現沒有這個果效，而且正如剛才有同事指出，其實這是污水流出的問題。
However now it is found that they fail to produce such an effect . Moreover as pointed out by an Honourable colleague just now the problem in fact lies with discharge of sewage
局長，在剛過去1年多的疫情中，署方由最初不檢驗污水，到後期會去檢驗一些樓宇的污水渠，以檢測是否存有病毒。
Secretary during the epidemic in the past year or so the department initially refused to examine the sewage but later it would inspect the sewers in some buildings to detect the presence of virus
其實當局也知道，特別是在一些舊區，污水渠是有這些問題的。
In fact the authorities are also aware that such problems exist in sewers especially in some old districts
這樣既可解決舊樓污水渠錯駁和環境問題，因為環境污染也是由局方負責的，另外亦可一併解決臭氣的問題。
In this way the misconnection of sewers in old buildings and environmental problems can be solved since the Bureau is also responsible for environmental pollution while the odour problem can also be settled at the same time
主席，政府在解決這個問題時，很多時也會本末倒置。
President in tackling this problem the Government often puts the cart before the horse
為了達致最明顯的效果，於是返回我最初向部門提出的建議，在海旁設置旱季截流器。
To achieve the most obvious effect the Government reverted to my initial proposal to the department to install DWFIs at the waterfront . Back then the Bureau made all kinds of excuses not to do so
我希望政府可以再次清醒，將這個旱季截流器及鄉村的排污問題徹底解決，這才是令海水不再傳出臭味的更有效辦法。
I hope the Government will come to its senses again and thoroughly solve this problem of DWFIs and sewerage in the villages . This is a more effective way to prevent emission of odour from the seawater
我想問政府，會否檢視有關效果，是否可以將一些工作做得更加徹底呢？
May I ask whether the Government will review the relevant effects and whether some work can be done more thoroughly?
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持有關的《條例草案》。
Deputy President with these remarks I support the Bill
代理主席，《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》在4月13日刊憲，14日在立法會大會上首讀，16日成立法案委員會。
Deputy President the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill was gazetted on 13 April and read for the First time at the Legislative Council meeting on 14 April . Then the Bills Committee was formed on 16 April
立法會經過個多月以來的努力，《條例草案》今天終於可以提交大會，恢復二讀辯論。
After more than a month of hard work by the Legislative Council the Bill is finally tabled today for resumption of the Second Reading debate
我所屬界別鄉議局支持《條例草案》，以及政制及內地事務局局長動議的修正案。
Heung Yee Kuk the constituency to which I belong supports the Bill and the amendments to be moved by the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs
究其原因，就是自回歸以來，反對派透過選舉制度的漏洞進入議會，利用立法會和區議會的平台，濫用議事程序阻撓政府施政，導致很多涉及民生的法案均無法通過，大量基建工程被延誤，打翻了很多市民的飯碗。
The reason is that since the handover of sovereignty the opposition camp entered the Legislative Council and District Councils through loopholes in the electoral system . Abusing the procedures on the platforms of the Legislative Council and District Councils they obstructed the Governments administration . As a result many bills related to peoples livelihood could not be passed and a large number of infrastructural projects were delayed thus breaking the rice bowls of many people
