我希望政府能夠好好跟進蔣麗芸議員的建議，認真研究當中的細節和可行性，不要聽完便算。
In this way more talents can be nurtured for Hong Kong and the country . I hope that the Government can properly follow up on Dr CHIANG Lai - wans proposal and earnestly study the details and the feasibility thereof and will not just sit on its hands after listening to the proposal
劉國勳議員動議的"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"議案。
Mr LAU Kwok - fan will move a motion on Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy
姚思榮議員會就議案動議修正案。
Mr YIU Si - wing will move an amendment to the motion
稍後我會先請劉國勳議員發言及動議議案，然後請姚思榮議員發言，但他在現階段不可動議修正案。
Later I will first call upon Mr LAU Kwok - fan to speak and move the motion . Then I will call upon Mr YIU Si - wing to speak but he may not move the amendment at this stage
主席，首先多謝蔣麗芸議員鍥而不捨地為兒童和新生代爭取更多的籌劃，也希望政府可以"落多些水"。
President I first thank Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for persistently striving for more plans for children and the new generation and hoping that the Government can make more contributions
我覺得這種初心和目標相當值得嘉賞。
I think that such aspiration and goal are worthy of praise
今天我們要討論"新生代基金"。
Today we are discussing the New Generation Fund
我每逢看到"基金"這兩個字，也不會以一個十分正面的態度看待，原因是我經歷過不同的基金。
Whenever I see the word fund I tend not to adopt a very positive attitude towards it because of my previous experiences with different funds
其中一樣最接近我們"打工仔"的我也是一名"打工仔"便是強制性公積金，我覺得"基金佬"肯定十分喜歡設立更多基金。
A fund which is the most closely related to wage earners like us―I am also a wage earner―is the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF . I think that fund managers definitely welcome the establishment of more funds
我整個working career已過了差不多大半，拿強積金帳單出來看，每個月只有"雞碎"那麼多錢，根本沒有辦法退休，大部分金錢都落入管理基金中介人的口袋。
I have gone through nearly more than half of my working career but whenever I look at my MPF statement I noticed that there is only a tiny amount of money every month which can hardly support my retirement life . Most of the money has gone into the pockets of the intermediaries who manage the funds
第二種基金，就是我作為家長購買過的教育基金。
The second fund is the education fund which I purchased as a parent . I started purchasing such fund since the births of my two sons
我十分擔心，如果是由香港政府管理這些基金，究竟會管理出甚麼樣子呢？
I am very worried that if these funds are managed by the Hong Kong Government how will these funds be managed?
我們必須面對一個十分重要的問題。
We must face a very important problem
根據我的經驗，即使為子女作好全面安排，到他們18歲時也未必會立即拿着這筆錢追求夢想。
According to my experience even though parents have made comprehensive arrangements for their children the children may not use this sum of money to pursue their dreams as soon as they turn 18
我看到身邊很多家庭的年輕人沒有夢想，即使給他們錢，請他們尋找夢想，他們也找不到，因為家長甚麼也為他們作好安排。
I can see that youngsters of many families around me do not have dreams . In that case even if there is money for them to find their dreams they may fail to do so because parents have prepared everything for them
但是，現在很多人欠缺向上的動力，究其原因，除了社會出現抑鬱的問題，我們的教育當然也出現很大問題我看到副局長在席香港的教育令我們的子女只懂得埋怨政府、社會和家長。
However many people now lack the incentive to move upward . Apart from the atmosphere of depression prevailing in society another cause is certainly the serious problem in education―I see that the Under Secretary is present―education in Hong Kong has made our children put all the blame on the Government society and parents
不過，我同意給大家一個機會，研究如何能更聚焦地協助一些弱勢家庭，令他們不要輸在起跑線，因為這會導致很多年輕人在成長過程中埋怨社會，我覺得這是不健康的。
However I agree to give Members an opportunity to study how to assist those disadvantaged families in a more focused manner so that they will not lag behind at the starting line . It is because this will cause many youngsters to grumble at the community during their development which I think is unhealthy
我尊重蔣麗芸議員對兒童和青年人的心意，我認為政府亦應該加把勁，不要向我們交出兒童發展基金便作罷。
While I respect Dr CHIANG Lai - wans good intentions for children and youngsters I think that the Government should also make extra efforts rather than simply giving us a child development fund
主席，面對興建房屋及產業發展土地不足的問題，自由黨支持政府加快新界北的發展。
President faced with the problem of shortage of land for housing and industrial development the Liberal Party supports the Government to expedite the development for New Territories North
落馬洲口岸已開通超過40年，但特區政府一直只視該口岸為管制跨境人流及貨流的基建設施，從未考慮以口岸經濟的概念發展其周邊土地。
The Lok Ma Chau Control Point has been opened for more than 40 years but the Government has all along only regarded it as an infrastructure for controlling cross - boundary flow of people and goods and never considered developing the land in the surrounding areas with the concept of port economy
反觀連接皇崗口岸的福田區則發展迅速，現時已成為深圳的新商業核心區。
On the other hand the Futian district which adjoins the Huanggang Port has developed rapidly and now become a new central business district of Shenzhen
為提升口岸經濟的效益，深圳市政府在2019年啟動皇崗口岸重建項目，計劃將口岸改建為"一地兩檢"的純旅檢口岸，即取消貨檢功能，並將釋放出來的土地，發展成深港科技創新合作區。
Separated only by a river there is a world of difference between the two places . In order to enhance the benefits of port economy the Shenzhen Municipal Government commenced a redevelopment project at the Huanggang Port in 2019 and planned to redevelop the port into one with co - location arrangement for visitors control only ie . the function of goods control would be cancelled and the land released would be developed into the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Co - operation Zone
可是，香港現時才開始就落馬洲的發展作進一步設計，建設最快要十年八載才會陸續落成。
However Hong Kong has just begun to draw up further designs for the development of Lok Ma Chau and the gradual completion of which will at least take 8 to 10 years
因此，政府應檢討現時新發展區的規劃流程，看看程序上有否壓縮的空間，從而加快進度，否則香港只會一直處於落後的處境。
Thus the Government should review the current planning process of the new development area to identify any room for compression in order to speed up the progress otherwise Hong Kong will only remain in a backward position
隨着重建項目展開，深圳市政府亦調整跨境貨運安排。
With the commencement of the redevelopment project the Shenzhen Municipal Government has also adjusted its cross - border freight arrangements
為落實"東進東出、西進西出"的通關格局，港深兩地政府已於去年剛開通的蓮塘/香園圍口岸及深圳灣口岸落實24小時通關，物流業界對此表示歡迎。
In order to implement the customs clearance pattern of East in East out West in West out the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen have introduced 24 - hour customs clearance at the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Port opened just last year and the Shenzhen Bay Port . The logistics industry welcomes this measure
為配合新的通關格局，自由黨希望政府能在土地安排上作出更好的規劃。
In order to cope with the new customs clearance pattern the Liberal Party hopes that the Government can draw up better plans for land use arrangement
受洪水橋新發展區的工程影響，區內的棕地作業營運者正陸續遷出，而政府原計劃在洪水橋興建多層樓宇以容納部分受影響的棕地作業，卻未能做到無縫交接。
Affected by the works of the Hung Shui Kiu New Development Area brownfield operators in the area are gradually moving out . The Government originally planned to build multi - storey buildings in Hung Shui Kiu to accommodate some of the affected brownfield operations but it failed to effect a seamless transition
雖然城市規劃委員會曾於去年表示，可向計劃重置的申請人有條件開綠燈，可惜不足一年後，原擬申請作重置倉庫的地段卻被改劃為發展公營房屋。
The Town Planning Board stated last year that applicants for the planned relocation could be given a conditional green light but unfortunately in less than a year the lot originally proposed to be used as a warehouse relocation was rezoned for public housing development
由於覓地困難，有部分營運者選擇取得政府的特惠補償後就結業，無疑令支援港口運作的後勤及物流行業萎縮，影響本港航運物流業的長遠發展。
Due to difficulties in finding land some operators have chosen to close their business after obtaining ex gratia compensation from the Government . This will undoubtedly shrink back - up and logistics industries that support port operations and affect the long - term development of the shipping and logistics industry in Hong Kong
根據現時的規劃，政府在新界北新田/落馬洲只會預留8公頃土地，用作物流用地及發展文錦渡物流走廊，這遠遠未能滿足物流業界對土地的需求，特別有鑒於電子商貿發展蓬勃，對大型自動化倉儲的需求日益殷切。
According to the current planning the Government will only reserve 8 hectares of land in San TinLok Ma Chau of New Territories North for logistics use and the development of the Man Kam To Logistics Corridor . This is far from adequate in meeting the logistics industrys demand for land . Particularly in view of the booming development of e - commerce the demand for large automated warehouses is increasing
既然蓮塘/香園圍口岸是"西進西出"的重要跨境貨運口岸，為享口岸之便，提升跨境貨運的效率，業界希望政府可以在口岸附近劃出足夠土地，以作物流發展之用。
Since the LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Port is an important West in West out cross - border cargo port in order to enjoy the convenience of the port facilities and enhance the efficiency of cross - border freight the industry hopes that the Government can reserve enough land near the port for logistics development
如在規劃上可行的話，我建議政府讓現時受收地影響的洪水橋棕地物流作業者，先行搬遷至該等土地上繼續營運，以免支援物流業及港口運作的業務出現斷層。
If it is feasible in planning I suggest the Government to accord priority to the Hung Shui Kiu brownfield logistics operators currently affected by the land resumption to relocate to these sites to enable them to continue with their operations so as to avoid disruptions to the businesses supporting the logistics industry and port operations
最後我想一提，政府在發展新界北時必須奉行運輸基建先行的原則。
Finally let me remind the Government to uphold the principle of according priority to transport infrastructure development in developing New Territories North
自由黨支持政府興建北環綫，以配合新界北的發展。
The Liberal Party supports the Governments development of the Northern Link to dovetail with the development of New Territories North
然而，古洞站要在首批居民入伙1年後才竣工，確實有欠理想。
However Kwu Tung Station will not be completed until one year after the first batch of residents has moved in which is indeed unsatisfactory
因此，我希望政府與港鐵公司研究加快北環綫的興建。
Thus I hope that the Government and MTR Corporation Limited will explore speeding up the construction of the Northern Link
主席，蔣麗芸議員今天提出的議案只是舊酒新瓶，與2017年建議的"嬰兒基金"一樣，都是希望透過及早儲蓄，讓年輕一代有筆萬應錢，裝備自己，增加向上流的機會，從而紓緩跨代貧窮。
President the motion proposed by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan today is just old wine in a new bottle . Like the baby fund proposed in 2017 it seeks to provide ready cash through early savings for the young generation to equip themselves so that they will have more opportunities for upward mobility thereby alleviating cross - generational poverty
但是，自由黨在上次討論時已表示，對設立基金的建議有保留。
However the Liberal Party already expressed reservations about the suggestion of setting up a fund during the discussion on the last occasion
根據構思中的"新生代基金"，父母和政府會共同供款至孩子18歲。
Under the proposed New Generation Fund parents and the Government will make contributions jointly until the child reaches the age of 18
由於基金並非扶貧計劃，所以不論家庭背景，孩子一出世，政府便開始向其所屬戶口注資。
Since the Fund is not a poverty alleviation programme the Government will start making a contribution to the account of the child once he or she is born irrespective of his or her family background
雖然政府仍有8,000多億元儲備，但面對財赤，政府已多番表示要"睇餸食飯"。
Although the fiscal reserves of the Government still stand at some 800 billion in the face of a fiscal deficit the Government has repeatedly indicated that it needs to spend within its means
隨着香港人口老化，估計未來在醫療及福利方面的開支只會有增無減。
With the ageing population in Hong Kong the expenditure on medical and welfare services is expected to rise continuously in the future
如果再推出無差別的基金供款，只會進一步增加政府的財政壓力。
The introduction of this universal fund scheme will only further increase the financial burden on the Government
主席，我翻查政府統計處的資料得悉，本港18歲以下年青人的數目在過去一段時間維持在大約100萬至120萬人的水平。
President I have learnt from the information published by the Census and Statistics Department that the number of young people aged 18 or below in Hong Kong has remained within the range from around 1 million to 1.2 million for a period of time
如果政府每年為每人供款1,000元，以今天的價格計算，大約涉及10億元。
Hence the Governments contribution of 1,000 per person per year will cost about 1 billion at todays prices
如果以年息2厘計算，18年後會有22,840元，似乎作用不大。
If the interest rate is 2 % per annum the sum will amount to 22,840 in 18 years which seems not to be of much use
但是，每增加1,000元供款，便相當於額外10億元的政府承擔額。
However an increase of 1,000 in the contribution will be equivalent to an increase of 1 billion in the Governments financial commitment
我亦已參閱秘書處的相關研究報告，由於時間關係，我未能詳細論述。
I have also referred to the relevant research report prepared by the Secretariat . Due to time constraints I am not able to go into the details
不過，我想指出，英國於2005年推出兒童信託基金計劃，但由於政府無力承擔，基本上已於2011年廢除。
However I wish to point out that the Child Trust Fund programme introduced in the United Kingdom in 2005 was basically abolished in 2011 because the British Government could no longer afford it
新加坡的兒童培育共同儲蓄計劃，則是新加坡政府多項支持新加坡兒童發展及提高生育率的措施之一，我認為該計劃旨在鼓勵生育多於支持兒童發展，因為事實上新加坡政府亦有推行多項不同的政策及措施，支援兒童發展。
Singapores Child Development Co - Savings Baby Bonus Scheme is one of the Singaporean Governments initiatives to support local children and increase fertility rate . In my view the scheme is aimed to encourage births rather than support childrens development because in fact the Singaporean Government has also implemented various policies and initiatives to support childrens development
事實上，現時有能力的家庭已自行為下一代安排儲蓄計劃，市場上亦有很多含儲蓄成分的基金產品供父母選擇。
As a matter of fact financially secure families have taken out savings schemes for the next generation on their own and there are many savings - related fund products available in the market for parents to choose from
至於弱勢家庭，生活已捉襟見肘。
As for disadvantaged families it is already hard for them to make ends meet
現時在職人士已須按薪金的指定百分比供強制性公積金，如果再增設"新生代基金"，只會進一步增加有子女家庭的財政壓力。
Presently working people are already required to make Mandatory Provident Fund contributions equal to a specified percentage of their salary . The introduction of the New Generation Fund will only add to the financial burden on families with children
對於弱勢社群家庭，政府已透過不同渠道提供支援，包括在2008年成立的兒童發展基金、學生資助計劃、持續進修基金和關愛基金等，讓我們的下一代不會因經濟問題而失去學習機會。
For disadvantaged families the Government has been providing support through various means including the Child Development Fund set up in 2008 financial assistance schemes for students the Continuing Education Fund and the Community Care Fund . Therefore our next generation will not be deprived of learning opportunities due to financial problems
今天香港的問題，自由黨認為是產業發展過度單一化，傾斜於金融及地產業的發展，學生一窩蜂修讀有關課程。
The Liberal Party takes the view that the problems facing Hong Kong today are the overly uniform development of industries and the tilt towards the development of the financial services and real estate industries which cause flocks of students to study relevant courses
由於競爭大，最終畢業等於失業。
Due to keen competition graduation means unemployment for them
至於政府一直強調的四大經濟支柱，不論是貿易及物流業抑或旅遊業，都只是"食老本"，加上人力資源出現錯配，令產業萎縮。
As for the four key economic pillars that have been stressed by the Government both the trading and logistics industry and the tourism industry are just resting on their laurels which coupled with a mismatch of human resources has resulted in the shrinkage of industries
由於產業發展狹窄，導致"有工無人做，有人無工做"，窒礙年青人發揮所長及影響他們向上流的機會。
The limited development of industries has led to the simultaneous existence of both unfilled job vacancies and jobless people thus hindering young people from developing their strengths and affecting their chances of upward mobility
自由黨希望政府除繼續投放資源鞏固及提升四大經濟產業外，亦會發展多元化的產業，加強不同職業和專業技能的培訓及教育，及早 透過生涯規劃教育，讓學生掌握各行業的資訊及發展空間，讓年輕人有更多就業選擇及機會。
The Liberal Party hopes that apart from continuing to devote resources to consolidating and enhancing the four key economic pillars the Government will also promote the diversification of industries by stepping up training and education related to various occupations and professional skills providing life planning education at an early stage to enable students to understand the information and development of various industries so that young people will have more career choices and employment opportunities
一旦年輕人有向上流的機會，自然能夠靠自己雙手賺取第一桶金，無須靠父幹，而跨代貧窮的社會問題亦得以紓緩。
As long as they have opportunities for upward mobility they can make their first fortune with their own hands without having to rely on their parents . The social problem of cross - generational poverty will also be alleviated
此外，無差別供款並非有效運用公帑的方法。
Moreover making contributions to everyone is not an effective way to use public funds
因此，自由黨不支持議案。
Therefore the Liberal Party does not support the motion
主席，首先我要感謝劉國勳議員提出"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"的議案，以及姚思榮議員就議案提出修正案。
President first I would like to thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the motion on Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy and Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing the amendment
主席，中國在2020年明確提出"加快構建以國內大循環為主體、國內國際雙循環相互促進"的新發展格局，國家總理亦在今年的《政府工作報告》再次強調"雙循環"的發展戰略。
President in 2020 China has clearly proposed to accelerate the establishment of the new development pattern featuring dual circulation which takes the domestic market as the mainstay while enabling domestic and foreign markets to interact positively with each other . The Premier also reiterated the development strategy of dual circulation in his Government Work Report this year
國家必須形成強大的國內市場、全面促進消費、拓展投資空間、推進貿易強國建設，以及進一步構建"國內國際雙循環"的新發展格局。
China must develop a strong domestic market comprehensively promote consumption open up room for investment drive the development of facilities of a trading superpower and further develop the new development pattern of dual circulation of the domestic and foreign markets
在"十四五"規劃下，中國的發展格局與香港息息相關，同時亦對香港有着重大的影響。
Under the 14 Five - Year Plan Chinas development pattern is closely related with Hong Kong and has a significant impact on us
國家總理亦在工作報告提到5個區域經濟布局，其中一個便是粵港澳大灣區建設。
The Premier also mentioned the economic layout of five regions in the Government Work Report among which is the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA
至於如何在大灣區建立一個完整的市場，當中涉及人才、資金、技術、科技、貨物等方面的便利化流通，是香港必須深入探討的重要課題。
To establish a comprehensive market in GBA measures must be implemented to facilitate the flow of talents capital skills technology goods etc . This is an important subject which Hong Kong should explore in depth
現時港深邊境共有7個出入境管制站，我們很應該善用口岸附近土地的地理優勢，以滿足香港的土地需要並促進經濟發展，以及推進建設港深口岸經濟帶，加強港深之間的經濟聯繫和互動，這些都會直接影響香港未來的整體發展。
Currently there are seven control points along the boundary between Hong Kong and Shenzhen . We should make good use of the geographical advantages of the land near the ports to meet Hong Kongs demands of land and promote economic development and drive the development of a Hong Kong - Shenzhen port economic belt to strengthen the economic connections and interactions between Hong Kong and Shenzhen . These efforts will directly affect the overall development of Hong Kong in the future
主席，口岸不單是連接港深兩地的最前線，亦是連接內外循環的重要點。
President the ports not only stand on the foremost front line to connect Hong Kong and Shenzhen but also act as an important link in the internal and external circulation
深圳羅湖區一直高度重視口岸經濟帶的建設，並在去年11月公布《深港口岸經濟帶羅湖先行區發展規劃》，明確將港深口岸經濟帶作為羅湖區"一主兩區三帶"發展新格局中的關鍵"一帶"，是港深合作的橋頭堡。
The authorities of the ShenzhenLo Wu region have all along attached great importance to the development of a port economic belt . In November last year they issued the development plan for establishing Lo Wu as a pilot region in the ShenzhenHong Kong port economic belt . The plan clearly indicates that the Hong KongShenzhen port economic belt will be an essential belt in the one core two regions three belts new development pattern and the bridgehead for Hong Kong - Shenzhen cooperation
至於香港，根據《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策略》建議，在新界北部，由西面的落馬洲一直伸延至香園圍，將成為一條"北部經濟帶"，在這發展軸上，有落馬洲河套區的港深創新及科技園，以及新界北新發展區。
As regards Hong Kong the Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 has recommended to develop a Northern Economic Belt in the northern New Territories extending from Lok Ma Chau in the west to Heung Yuen Wai . The Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop and the New Development Area in New Territories North fall on this development axis
香港既是中國的一部分，我們的特區官員在構思這條"北部經濟帶"的時候，一定要考慮人流、物流、資金及資訊等各方面如何跟深圳銜接，以及如何將北部經濟帶進一步發展成口岸經濟帶，依靠口岸經濟帶改善原有北區由水貨客帶來的民生問題。
Since Hong Kong is part of China when our officials of the SAR Government design the Northern Economic Belt they must consider how flows of people goods capital information etc . can be interfaced with Shenzhen and how the Northern Economic Belt can be further developed into a port economic belt on which we can rely to alleviate the current livelihood problems in the North District brought by parallel traders
國家既然已將香港納入粵港澳大灣區建設部分，香港特區官員的思維一定要有所改變，與時並進，將香港的發展融入國家發展之中。
Since the country has included Hong Kong in the GBA development officials of the SAR Government must change their mindset keep abreast with the times and integrate Hong Kongs development into the countrys development
在推進"北部經濟帶"的同時，亦要進一步將香港融入國家"雙循環"的發展。
While driving the development of the Northern Economic Belt it is also necessary to further integrate Hong Kong into the countrys dual circulation development
我相信，透過新界北與羅湖合作打造成為港深合作新的增長區域，由南至北逐步與福田的河套地區、前海深港合作區等合作，將可成為港深合作的強大支柱。
I believe with the cooperation between New Territories North and Lo Wu to create a Hong Kong - Shenzhen cooperative new growth area cooperation will gradually be extended from south to north to the loop area of Futian the Qianhai Shenzhen - Hong Kong Cooperation Zone etc . to form a strong pillar of Hong Kong - Shenzhen cooperation
主席，過去立法會討論撥款支持落馬洲河套區科技園發展時，我曾提出河套區一帶欠缺整體規劃，主要基建及配套設施未能同步發展，難以吸引香港青年留在當地發展。
President when the Legislative Council discussed whether funding should be given to support the development of the Science and Technology Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop I once pointed out that there was a lack of overall planning in the Loop and the major infrastructure and supporting facilities were not developed in tandem . Thus it would be difficult to attract young Hong Kong people to stay there for development
因此，我建議政府一定要做好整個北區的規劃工作，完善區內的配套設施，起碼要增設一些娛樂、飲食等設施，將區內原有的資源重新整合，將河套區與包括延伸至沙頭角在內的整個北區的娛樂、旅遊等設施結合起來，建立"北區大都會"。
Therefore I suggest that the Government must draw up a good planning for the entire North District improve the supporting facilities in the Loop provide at least some more entertainment catering and other facilities there reconsolidate the existing resources in the district and combine entertainment tourism and other facilities in the Loop with those of the entire North District including Sha Tau Kok to form a North District Metropolis
同時，我亦建議政府和深圳市一定要加強溝通和合作，共同推進新界北以至口岸經濟帶的發展。
At the same time I also suggest that the Government must strengthen communication and cooperation with the Shenzhen municipal authorities to jointly drive the development of New Territories North and the port economic belt
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持這項議案，謝謝。
President with these remarks I support the motion . Thank you
主席，蔣麗芸議員提出"設立新生代基金，協助香港新生代籌劃未來"的議案。
President Dr CHIANG Lai - wan has proposed the motion on Setting up a New Generation Fund to help the new generation in Hong Kong plan for the future
我對此非常認同，因為幫助生兒育女的夫婦減輕在職父母的育兒壓力，是非常重要的。
I strongly concur with that because it is very important to help couples who have children and reduce the parenting pressure on working parents . I also have the experience
我覺得這與"新生代基金"的概念有重疊的地方。
I think this overlaps with the concept of the New Generation Fund
我覺得兒童發展基金值得鼓勵，但設立"新生代基金"，兒童年滿18歲才可提取，是否真的能夠幫助家長面對生兒育女或教育上的壓力呢？
I consider that the Child Development Fund is worthy of encouragement . As for the New Generation Fund withdrawals can only be made when children reach the age of 18 . Can this genuinely help parents face the pressure of raising children or education?
我們的子女要補習、學繪畫、學跳舞等，全部需要資源。
Our children have to attend tuition drawing and dance classes etc
如何為有需要的兒童及家庭，提供更多運動設施或運動課堂？
How can the Government provide more sports facilities or sports classes to children and families in need?
剛才易議員亦提到香港的生育政策，香港是否有鼓勵生育的政策呢？
Mr YICK has also referred to the policy on childbearing in Hong Kong a while ago . Does Hong Kong have a policy to encourage childbearing?
羅致光局長曾表示，香港政府沒有鼓勵生育的政策，在2003年及2014年所發表有關人口政策的文件中，均沒有提出鼓勵生育的政策。
Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong once said that the Hong Kong Government did not have any policy to encourage childbearing . Nor is there any mention of policy encouraging childbearing in the documents on population policy published in 2003 and 2014
2019年共有52,856名嬰兒出生，但2020年首11個月，註冊結婚數字下降四成，新生嬰兒人數亦下降一成七，只有40,369名，是30年來新低。
The total number of births in Hong Kong was 52 856 in 2019 but the number of marriages contracted dropped by 40 % in the first 11 months of 2020 and the number of newborns also dropped by 17 % to only 40 369 which hit a 30 - year low
然而，死亡人數達46,414名，首次超越出生人數。
However the number of deaths reached 46 414 surpassing the number of births for the first time
因此，香港面對生育率低的問題，而這亦是全球性問題，全球多個國家及地區都正面對生育率偏低的問題。
Therefore Hong Kong is facing the problem of low fertility rates which is also a global problem . Many countries and regions around the world are facing the problem of low fertility rates
