所以，藉現在這項議案討論何謂"拉布"、民主派為何要"拉布"、建制派又有否"拉布"等，是一個難得機會。
Therefore the current motion has actually given us a precious chance to discuss what is meant by filibuster why the pro - democracy camp has to filibuster whether the pro - establishment camp has engaged in filibusters and so on
我必須不厭其煩地提出一個觀點。
I must repeat the following viewpoint again
在一個議會中，不論是香港這種較畸形的議會，還是世界各地的議會，少數派一定較常用"拉布"這一招，因為他們在表決中無法取勝。
In a legislature be it the abnormal Council in Hong Kong or a parliament in any place of the world filibustering is definitely a common tactic employed by the minority as they can never win in a vote
在民主和平的議會中，大家都按規矩辦事，所以才會有"拉布"的空間。
In a democratic and peaceful legislature all its members follow the rules and that is why there is room for filibustering
其實，剛才同事已提出兩個例子。
Our Honourable colleagues have actually cited two examples earlier
第一次是有關《能源效益條例》的中止待續議案，建制派同事當時十分積極發言。
In their first attempt Honourable colleagues from the pro - establishment camp spoke keenly on an adjournment motion in relation to the Energy Efficiency Ordinance
我估計，他們是針對當天有關3項延展附屬法例審議期的議案，以及另一項附屬法例的討論。
I guess their targets were the three motions for extending the scrutiny period of subsidiary legislation and the discussion of another piece of subsidiary legislation scheduled for that day
如果有關《能源效益條例》的中止待續議案能夠討論至會議結束，該4項附屬法例便無法再在本會討論，這是建制派最近"拉布"的例子。
If the discussion of the adjournment motion in relation to the Energy Efficiency Ordinance could go on till the end of the meeting those four items of subsidiary legislation could not be discussed by the Council . This is a recent example of filibustering by the pro - establishment camp
第二招，就是在法案委員會......大家都明白，我應該說"議員會明白，但市民未必明白"。
For the second tactic in the Bills Committees as we all know I should have said it is known to Members but not necessarily members of the public
《議事規則》第18條提到立法會審議各類事項的次序。
RoP 18 stipulates the order of business at a meeting of the Legislative Council
主席，市民確實很想知道立法會在搞甚麼。
President the public do want to know what is happening to the Legislative Council
現時的核心問題，就是我和郭榮鏗議員向黃國健議員提出支持其中止待續議案的條件，即建制派撤回對《議事規則》的修訂。
Right now the crux is the condition Mr Dennis KWOK and I put forth to Mr WONG Kwok - kin for supporting his adjournment motion ie . withdrawal of the amendments to RoP by the pro - establishment camp
我又偷聽到財務委員會主席陳健波議員說......
I also overheard Mr CHAN Kin - por Chairman of the Finance Committee saying that
我反對這種看法，即以為修訂《議事規則》不會帶來無法挽回及不可逆轉的影響。
However I do not agree with the view that amendments to RoP will not bring any irreparable harm or irreversible impacts
事實上，這是會引致無法挽回、不能逆轉的情況的。
The truth is that such amendments will bring irreparable and irreversible consequences
主席，我現以《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》小組委員會主席的身份作出報告。
President I report in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice
《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》的目的，是指定2018年1月8日為於2017年5月26日刊登憲報的《2017年實習律師規則》開始實施的日期。
The purpose of the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice is to appoint 8 January 2018 as the date on which the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 come into operation . The Amendment Rules 2017 was published in the Gazette on 26 May 2017
小組委員會舉行了一次會議，完成審議工作，並支持上述的公告。
The Subcommittee met once to complete the scrutiny and supported the said Notice
在商議過程中，委員關注到，海外司法管轄區的大律師或訟辯人有意在香港成為認許的律師時，在申請豁免受僱為實習律師方面的要求。
During the deliberation of the Subcommittee members were concerned about the requirements a barrister or advocate in overseas jurisdictions wishing to become a solicitor in Hong Kong should meet when applying for exemption from employment as a trainee solicitor
就此，香港律師會回應時解釋，任何人曾在普通法司法管轄區為執業大律師或訟辯人，已符合《實習律師規則》列明的豁免合約受僱的要求。
In response The Law Society of Hong Kong has explained that any person who has been engaged in the practice of a barrister or advocate in a common law jurisdiction has already satisfied the requirement specified by the Trainee Solicitors Rules for exemption from employment under a trainee solicitor contract
有關人士只需在相關考試，例如海外律師資格考試及帳目及專業操守試等中考取合格，便可以向香港律師會申請豁免根據實習律師合約受僱。
The persons concerned are only required to pass the relevant examinations such as the Overseas Lawyers Qualification Examination and Examination on Accounts and Professional Conduct and they may apply to Law Society for exemption from employment under a trainee solicitor contract
以下是我的個人意見。
The following are my personal views
首先我要申報，我是香港的執業大律師。
First of all I have to declare that I am a practising barrister in Hong Kong
我認為，今次的《修訂規則》簡化了大律師轉為律師的程序；而在我們徵詢後，兩大律師組織及業界的所有意見均非常贊同，並希望盡快可以落實。
In my view the Amendment Rules simplifies the procedure for a barrister to become a solicitor . Upon our consultation the two legal professional bodies and the sector expressed great support of the amendment and hoped that it could be implemented as soon as possible
因此，這種說法絕不成立，而這種做法更是完全漠視立法會正常的議事程序，並非真正為民生出發。
Hence this argument is absolutely not substantiated . What they have been doing is even a total disregard for the normal proceeding of the Legislative Council and they are not genuinely striving for peoples livelihood
另一類非建制派議員的發言，則毫不忌諱地承認是在"拉布"消耗時間。
Another group of non - establishment Members have made no bones about their intention to waste time by means of filibustering
我覺得議員將這項中止待續議案與修訂《議事規則》扯在一起的說法很可笑。
I find it really ludicrous for Members to associate the adjournment motion with the amendments to the Rules of Procedure RoP
郭榮鏗議員說，建制派議員修訂《議事規則》種下仇恨，我感到很奇怪，那為何非建制派議員亦同時提出了多項修訂《議事規則》的建議？
Mr Dennis KWOK has accused pro - establishment Members of sowing hatred by proposing amendments to RoP . I find it very strange and wonder why non - establishment Members have likewise proposed a number of amendments to RoP
然而，如果認為這樣做是種下仇恨，我不知道究竟是誰種下仇恨？
However if proposing amendments would sow hatred I wonder who is actually to blame for that
事實上，《議事規則》並非一成不變，如果發現有不合理或會影響議會正常運作之處，為何不能作出改善呢？
In fact it is not the case that RoP can never be changed . If some rules are found to be unreasonable or affecting the normal operation of the Council why shouldnt improvement be made?
我只不過是為市民設想，因為現時議會"拉布"，受傷害的根本是市民，因為無論經濟發展、基建建設、土地開發以至很多民生問題均大受阻延。
I simply have taken the well - being of the public into consideration . It is basically the public who will fall victim to the current filibustering in the Council . Economic development infrastructure construction land development and many livelihood issues have been substantially delayed
我很認同郭榮鏗議員的說法，他非常快人快語，說在修訂《議事規則》後，他便會用更刁鑽、更聰明的方法"拉布"。
I strongly concur with what Mr Dennis KWOK has said . He was really straightforward when he said that he would use even more sophisticated and smarter ways to filibuster after the amendments to RoP have been passed
我聽得很清楚，並已記錄下來。
I have clearly heard what he said and put that on record
有些議員則在說風涼話，我覺得很難聽，內容是關於建制派議員堅守在會議廳奉行"45、15"的原則，即45分鐘留在會議廳，另15分鐘用來上洗手間、用膳、處理其他事務或與業界會面。
I find the cynical remarks made by some Members rather unpleasant to the ear . They said that pro - establishment Members have been staunchly defending the Chamber following the 45 - 15 principle―meaning that we would stay in the Chamber for 45 minutes and then break for 15 minutes to go to the toilet attend to other business or meet with members of their trade
黃國健議員今天提出的議案並沒有制止"拉布"，只是希望由雙重"拉布"變成單重"拉布"，盡量 節省一些時間。
The motion moved by Mr WONG Kwok - kin today is not intended to end filibustering altogether but only aims to turn double filibustering into single filibustering in order to save time
因此，黃國健議員今天所做的，無非是希望議會能夠更有效地運作，讓我們可以更好地處理餘下的工作。
Hence by moving the adjournment motion today Mr WONG Kwok - kin only hopes that the legislature can function more efficiently thereby allowing us to better handle the outstanding work
此外，還有一些令我失笑的說法，就是楊岳橋議員提到"以毒攻毒"。
In addition I cannot help laughing at the remark made by Mr Alvin YEUNG about fighting poison with poison
"以毒攻毒"有一個大前提，就是必須先承認自己是"毒"，然後散毒、播毒，這才會出現"以毒攻毒"。
Fighting poison with poison is based on the premise that he must first admit that he himself is a poison . It is only after the poison has spread that the scenario of fighting poison with poison will arise
至於攻擊他的是否"毒"，公道自在人心，我並不認為是"以毒攻毒"。
As to whether they are really fought by a poison I think justice lies in the heart of everyone and I do not agree that we are fighting poison with poison
此外，還有一個小問題，我希望在電視機前收看的同學千萬不要學習，就是有同事我且不說是哪一位說"劍拔弩張"，但應該是"劍拔弩張"，看似努力的"努"字，但下面是個"弓"字。
Also I have to raise a minor issue . I hope that students watching the debate in front of the television will refrain from learning one expression from an Honourable colleague whom I am not going to name . When using the Chinese idiom 劍拔弩張 the Member had wrongly pronounced the third character therein 弩 as 弓
"弓"與"弩"的分別是，弓需要兩隻手同時運作，一隻手拿着前面，另一隻手則在後面拉弦，然後將箭射出來；"弩"是由機械將弓扣着，然後單手按掣便可以發射。
Bow 弓 and crossbow 弩 are different . A bow requires both hands to operate at the same time with one hand holding the front and another hand pulling the bowstring back before shooting the arrow . For a crossbow the arrow is mechanically nocked onto the bowstring
所以，"弩"的讀音是"努"，我希望搞清楚，以免在電視機前收看的同學搞錯這個字的發音。
Shooting only requires pulling the trigger with one hand . Thus 弩 should be pronounced as its homonym 努 . I hope to make it clear so that students watching the television will not mispronounce this character
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持黃國健議員的議案。
With these remarks Deputy President I support Mr WONG Kwok - kins motion
市民並不希望這種格局出現劇烈變化。
The public do not welcome a drastic change to the status quo
我希望黃國健議員回應時可以就我的條件表達意見。
I hope Mr WONG Kwok - kin will comment on my suggestion in his response
代理主席，這個環節是處理有關《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》的"察悉議案"。
Deputy President this session is to deal with the take - note motion on the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice
對於與律師行業的運作和薪火相傳相關的規則，我是尊重的，我亦不會在發言中談論細節，因為我認為以"察悉議案"的形式在議事堂上討論有關的生效日期，並非一般的處理方法。
I do respect rules relating to the operation and continuation of the solicitors profession and yet I am not going into detail about this in my speech because I do not think it is normal for us to discuss the relevant commencement date by way of a take - note motion in the Chamber
由於盧偉國議員提出了中止待續議案，本會現在先處理這項議案。
As Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok has moved an adjournment motion this Council now deals with this motion first
代理主席，正如我剛才發言時所說，我尊重與律師行業運作相關的規則，特別是涉及實習律師的規則，因為可能與該行業的薪火相傳相關。
Deputy President as I said in my speech just now I do respect rules relating to the operation of the solicitors profession particularly rules involving trainee solicitors as these may bear on the continuation of the profession
我相信，議員同事在接下來的發言中，大有機會就這項中止待續議案表達意見，當中或會包括他們對有關生效日期的意見。
I believe that in their coming speeches my Honourable colleagues will very likely express their views on this adjournment motion and these may include their views on the relevant commencement date
不過，我個人認為生效日期並沒有甚麼需要辯論，正如梁美芬議員先前報告時所說，此事真的沒有甚麼爭議性，我不希望在議事堂上為此花太多時間，以致影響很多尚待立法會處理的工作。
However I personally do not think there is any need to debate the commencement date and as mentioned by Dr Priscilla LEUNG in her report earlier on this issue is really uncontroversial . I do not want to spend too much time on this in the Chamber lest many items of business that have yet to be dealt with by this Council should be affected
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：現即將辯論中止待續。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the debate be now adjourned
這項"察悉議案"的主要目的是，察悉內務委員會第5/17-18號報告內的《〈2017年實習律師規則〉公告》。
The main purpose of this take - note motion is to take note of the Trainee Solicitors Amendment Rules 2017 Commencement Notice which is included in Report No . 517 - 18 of the House Committee
有關《修訂規則》旨在修訂大律師申請成為律師須符合的一些規定，而"察悉議案"所述的《公告》，目的是指定《修訂規則》的實施日期。
The relevant Amendment Rules seek to amend certain requirements that a barrister applying to be a solicitor must meet whereas the Notice referred to in the take - note motion seeks to appoint the date on which the Amendment Rules come into operation
現在議員提出的中止待續議案，議題其實很窄，就是：是否支持將察悉這項附屬法例的議案辯論中止待續。
The subject of this adjournment motion moved by the Member is actually very narrow in scope and that is whether to support adjourning the debate on the motion to take note of the subsidiary legislation in question
議員不應提出與議題無關的事宜，亦不應利用這項辯論，討論這項附屬法例的具體內容，包括實施日期及有關大律師申請成為律師須符合的規定。
Members should not introduce matter irrelevant to the subject or use this debate to discuss the specific contents of the subsidiary legislation including the date of its coming into operation and the requirements that a barrister applying to be a solicitor must meet
《議事規則》第411條訂明，議員不得提出與議題無關的事宜。
Rule 411 of the Rules of Procedure provides that a Member shall not introduce matter irrelevant to the subject
第451條亦訂明，議員不得不斷提出無關的事宜或冗贅煩厭地重提本身或其他議員的論點。
Rule 451 further provides that a Member shall not persist in irrelevance or tedious repetition of his own or other Members arguments
若我認為議員違反有關規定，我會嚴格執行《議事規則》，停止有關議員發言。
If I find that a Member is in breach of these provisions I will strictly enforce the Rules of Procedure and stop the Member from speaking
代理主席，我發言反對工聯會黃國健議員根據《議事規則》第401條提出的辯論中止待續議案。
Deputy President I speak against the motion moved by Mr WONG Kwok - kin from the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU under Rule 401 of the Rules of Procedure to adjourn the debate
黃國健議員剛才發言時表示，他提出中止待續議案的原因是要"剪布"，反對民主派議員"拉布"。
Mr WONG Kwok - kin said in his speech just now that the adjournment motion was moved to cut off the filibuster and also as a counteraction against the attempts made by Members of the pro - democracy camp to filibuster
他還指出如反對派議員想證明他們並非"拉布"，便不應在是項辯論中發言。
He also pointed out that if Members of the opposition camp wished to prove that they were not filibustering they should not speak in the debate
代理主席，其實他剛才提出這項議案時，他的工聯會黨友麥美娟議員很快便起立發言，不知他 曾否與麥美娟議員作出溝通，麥美娟議員就議案發言又是否等於參與"拉布"？
Deputy President as a matter of fact his fellow party member Ms Alice MAK rose to speak soon after he has moved the adjournment motion and I do not know if he has communicated with Ms Alice MAK on this matter . As Ms Alice MAK has spoken on the motion does it mean that she has also engaged in filibustering?
這個議會並非行政機關，立法機關是議事堂，最主要的功能自然是發言，透過議會機制讓不同政見和利益立場的人作出表述，這是一個理性爭辯的場所。
This legislature is not the executive authorities and as a place to discuss businesses relevant to this Council it is only natural that our primary function is to deliver speeches so that people with different political views and stances may express their opinions through the parliamentary mechanism . This is a place for holding rational debates
民主黨對"拉布"的看法一直沒有改變："拉布"是一種手段，甚麼時候需要使用或不應使用，必須審時度勢，視乎出現甚麼問題。
The Democratic Partys views on filibustering has all along remained unchanged and we consider it a means to be used prudently . In order to determine when and whether the means should be used we have to carefully assess the situation and the issues at hand
如果要阻止惡法通過，民主黨當然義不容辭，所以我們從來也不會遮遮掩掩，也不是第一次"拉布"。
If the tactic has to be employed to stop the passage of a draconian law the Democratic Party is of course duty - bound to do so . Hence we will never try to cover up and this is also not the first time that we engage in filibustering . There is one point which I have to clarify
有一點我要澄清，毛孟靜議員剛才說"網絡廿三條"一役，全靠陳志全議員以一人之力拉倒整項惡法，對此我要抗議，其實民主黨的"卿姐"和我都有份參與，所以我們沒有說不"拉布"，只是說不會隨便胡亂"拉布"，而且有需要時自然會"拉布"。
Ms Claudia MO said earlier that in the battle against the Internet Article 23 it was Mr CHAN Chi - chuen who has stopped the whole draconian law from being passed by staging filibustering alone . In this connection I have to clarify in protest because both Madam Emily and I from the Democratic Party have also joined in the filibuster then . Therefore we have never said that we would not take part in filibustering and what we have been emphasizing is that we would not resort to filibustering lightly and blindly and that we would engage in filibustering as and when necessary
近來大家都可看到，民主黨議員也有要求點算人數和發言，參與"拉布"，這是光明正大的。
As all of us can see lately Members from the Democratic Party have also engaged in filibustering by requesting headcounts and speaking actively and we have been doing this in an open and honest manner
只因為要反對建制派議員乘人之危，藉議會內有6位議員被撤銷資格的機會而通過修改《議事規則》，所以此舉有很清楚的目標，沒有遮遮掩掩。
It is simply because we want to indicate our opposition to the attempts made by Members of the pro - establishment camp to take advantage of our disadvantageous situation and take the opportunity when six Members in this Council have been disqualified to pass the amendments made to the Rules of Procedure . We have been engaging in filibustering with very clear objectives and there is nothing to cover up
說到議會是否准許"拉布"，其實剛才亦有議員提出，民建聯前主席兼立法會前主席曾經指出，在"一國兩制"下，香港議會容許設有"拉布"的機制。
When it comes to the question of whether filibustering is allowed in this Council as mentioned by some Members just now the former Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB cum former President of the Legislative Council has already pointed out that under the principle of one country two systems a mechanism for staging filibustering should be allowed in the legislature of Hong Kong
甚麼地方的議會不准"拉布"？
What are the places where filibustering is not allowed to take place in their parliaments?
只有專制獨裁政權下的議會才一定不准"拉布"，正如全國人民代表大會開會便不能"拉布"，試問誰敢說不，誰敢不同意共產黨的專政決定？
Only parliaments under despotic and autocratic rule do not allow the staging of filibustering and the National Peoples Congress NPC is an example . Who would dare to say no at meetings of NPC and who would dare to indicate disagreement with the autocratic decisions made by the Chinese Communist Party?
我們真的不希望香港偏離"一國兩制"的憲制安排，希望維護香港特別行政區立法機關的自主性，捍衞我們的尊嚴，能夠說不，能夠在《議事規則》容許下使用"拉布"手段阻止惡法的通過，這是"一國兩制"下香港特別行政區立法機關的美麗之處。
We really do not want to see Hong Kong deviating from the constitutional arrangements of one country two systems . We wish to maintain the autonomy of the legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR we want to safeguard our dignity so that we can say no and that we are allowed under the Rules of Procedure to employ the tactic of filibustering to stop the passage of a draconian law . This is a beautiful side of the legislature of HKSAR under the principle of one country two systems
建制派議員口說反"拉布"，但他們在本會其實都曾參與"拉布"。
Members of the pro - establishment camp always say that they oppose filibustering but they have actually engaged in filibustering in this Council
當事情對建制派議員有利，又或要配合政府的計謀，要暗中幫政府一把時，身為保皇黨的他們也會"拉布"。
If it is favourable to Members of the pro - establishment camp or when they have to work cooperatively with the Government and render assistance secretly they as royalists will also filibuster
正如麥美娟議員說得坦白，既然我們可以這樣做，為何他們不可以？
As Ms Alice MAK has frankly pointed out why not follow suit if we can filibuster?
今天是11月30日，各位市民可上網翻看11月15日及16日那次會議的過程。
Today is 30 November and members of the public can have a playback of the video recordings on the Internet of the Council meetings on 15 and 16 November
你已是第十位議員就是否支持中止待續議案發言。
Dr Helena WONG you have already spoken for 6 minutes 16 seconds and you are the 10 Member who is speaking on the question of whether we should support the adjournment motion or not
剛才我比較寬鬆，容許你表達對"拉布"的看法及回應黃國健議員的論點，但由於你的論點之前已有議員論述，請你盡快結束相關論點及提出新論點。
I have tried to be more lenient just now and allowed you to express your views on filibustering and respond to the arguments raised by Mr WONG Kwok - kin . However as your arguments have already been raised previously by other Members please round up your discussions as quickly as possible and raise some new arguments
代理主席，我根據《議事規則》第39條提出規程問題。
Deputy President I would like to raise a point of order under Rule 39 of the Rules of Procedure
我認為她的言論不準確。她應該要澄清何謂參與"拉布"。
I consider it incorrect for her to say so and she has to clarify the meaning of engaging in filibustering
代理主席，我覺得我全部發言均沒有離題，因為我是回應黃國健議員在提出中止待續議案的發言時提到的"拉布"問題。
Deputy President I think not a single word I said has strayed away from the subject because I was just responding to the remarks made by Mr WONG Kwok - kin who mentioned the issue of filibustering in his speech moving the adjournment motion
我亦想指出，梁美芬議員有否"拉布"她自己最清楚，但她旁邊那位經民聯議員則肯定有在我們上次討論有關《能源效益條例》的決議案時參與"拉布"，大家可翻看會議的錄影片段。
I would also like to point out that Dr Priscilla LEUNG herself should know very well if she has taken part in filibustering but the Member from BPA who is sitting beside her has definitely engaged in filibustering when we were discussing the resolution moved under the Energy Efficiency Ordinance last time . We can confirm this by watching a playback of the video recordings of the meetings
主席，我想談談他們那次"拉布"造成甚麼後果。
President let me say a few words about the effects of the filibustering they staged at the meetings then
主席，我根據《議事規則》第39條提出規程問題。
President I would like to raise a point of order under Rule 39 of the Rules of Procedure
她指我們在選舉期間發表"反'拉布'之歌"，但卻很喜歡參與"拉布"，我希望她收回有關言論。
She accused us of actively engaging in filibustering even though we have broadcast a song of anti - filibustering during election . I want to ask her to withdraw her remarks
主席，我不明白你的裁決，黃碧雲議員只是指出客觀事實，即她認為有些議員聲稱不"拉布"，但事實上卻有"拉布"。
President I do not understand your ruling . Dr Helena WONG has only pointed out an objective fact that is she considers that some Members have actually taken part in filibustering although they have alleged that they would not do so
她有權指出這個客觀事實。
She does have the right to point out this objective fact
郭榮鏗議員，請你尊重自己。
Mr Dennis KWOK please respect yourself and sit down
黃碧雲議員只是指出一個客觀事實，你無權阻止她發言。
Dr Helena WONG has only pointed out an objective fact and you have no right to stop her from speaking
我沒有阻止任何議員發言。
I have not stopped any Member from speaking
所以，我要求黃碧雲議員收回有關我本人參與"拉布"的言論和指責。
Therefore I ask Dr Helena WONG to withdraw her remarks and accusation about my taking part in filibustering
我剛才要說的是，建制派議員同樣會"拉布"，這是事實。
I was trying to say just now that Members of the pro - establishment camp would also engage in filibustering and this is the truth
為何我們要反對王國興......
Why should we oppose Mr WONG Kwok - hings Laughter it should be Mr WONG Kwok - kin
此外，有9項未經小組委員會審議的附屬法例涉及不同範疇的事宜，當中包括稅務問題、關於進出口的電子貨物資料、港珠澳大橋香港口岸的羈留地點事宜、防止逃稅，還有限制商船船東責任、交通定額罰款應加價多少的很多事項。
Besides there are nine pieces of subsidiary legislation which has not been studied by subcommittees and they involve issues belonging to many different areas including taxation issues import and export information of electronic cargo places of detention at the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Hong Kong Port prevention of fiscal evasion limitation of ship owners liability for merchant shipping and the increase in fixed penalty for road traffic offences
主席原本將這些事項歸納為兩個環節，其一涉及港珠澳大橋事宜，第二個環節則涉及9項未經小組委員會審議的附屬法例，他更限制每位議員在每個辯論環節只可發言1次，每次只得15分鐘。
The President has originally divided such issues into two groups and one debate session will be held for each group . The first debate session is on matters relating to the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge while the second one is on the nine pieces of subsidiary legislation which has not been studied by subcommittees . Restrictions have also been imposed so that each Member can only speak once in each debate session for 15 minutes
主席，我想提醒大家，黃國健議員提出的議案其實是違反了《基本法》第七十三條。
President I would like to remind Members that the motion moved by Mr WONG Kwok - kin has actually contravened Article 73 of the Basic Law
《基本法》第七十三條和立法會議員的職權有關，其中第六項訂明，我們須就任何有關公共利益問題進行辯論。
Article 73 of the Basic Law is about the powers and functions of Members of the Legislative Council and it is stipulated in Article 736 that we have to debate any issue concerning public interests
交通違例罰款是否公眾關心的事項，港珠澳大橋又是否公眾關心的事項？
Should fixed penalty for road traffic offences and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge be considered issues concerning public interests?
這些全屬公共利益問題，但我們才剛開始辯論，只有一位議員發言後便被叫停，這是違反了《基本法》賦予立法機關的第六項職權。
All these are issues concerning public interests but the debate on such issues is adjourned soon after it has begun and when only one Member has spoken . It actually runs contrary to the powers and functions granted to the legislature under Article 736 of the Basic Law
《基本法》第六十四條亦訂明，政府要對本立法機關負責，但王國興議員現在要幹甚麼？
Article 64 of the Basic Law also stipulates that the Government must be accountable to the Legislative Council but what is Mr WONG Kwok - hing trying to do now?
我剛剛說到根據《基本法》第七十三條，我們有憲制責任發言，就公共利益問題進行辯論。
As I have said just now under Article 73 of the Basic Law we do have a constitutional duty to speak and debate any issue concerning public interests
我們既宣誓效忠《基本法》，便要捍衞《基本法》賦予我們就公共利益問題進行辯論的權力。
Since we have sworn allegiance to the Basic Law we have to safeguard the rights granted to us under the Basic Law to debate on any issue concerning public interests
但是，建制派議員所做的是甚麼？
However what are Members of the pro - establishment camp trying to do?
