百業蕭條令香港失業率在年初升至7.2%的17年新高，雖然最近數字稍為回落，但經濟及民生均受到嚴重的衝擊。
The recession across industries has led to an unemployment rate of 7.2 % a record high in 17 years . Although the rate has dropped slightly recently the economy and peoples livelihood have been severely impacted
香港屬於外向型經濟，封關阻斷了大部分跨境活動，影響了香港與內地的交流，甚至影響到大灣區的一體化發展。
Hong Kong is an externally - oriented economy . Boundary closure has interrupted most cross - border activities affecting the exchange between Hong Kong and the Mainland and even the integrated development of the Greater Bay Area
於我看來，整個疫情當然對各行各業都有影響，但是，最受影響的一定是涉及很多香港、內地往來的行業，即有關業務要回內地或由內地來港才能處理的行業，例如商務、廠房管理等，均受到很嚴重的影響。
In my opinion the epidemic certainly has an impact on various industries but the most affected ones are definitely those involving a lot of interactions between Hong Kong and the Mainland ie . industries of which business can only be dealt with by travelling to the Mainland or by coming to Hong Kong from the Mainland such as commercial affairs and factory management . Those are severely affected
雖然政府在2019-2020年度推出了防疫抗疫基金，合共撥出3,479億元的一次性紓緩措施，但是，紓緩措施亦可能......
The Government has introduced one - off relief measures totalling 347.9 billion under the Anti - epidemic Fund in 2019 - 2020 but the relief measures may as we have said in the past the measures were one - off and evenly allocated
最明顯的例子是超市和專做外賣的食肆等，這些行業一樣得到政府補助。另外，我看很多新聞或年報，不少行業在疫情下仍能賺大錢，其實都是多得這些補貼。
Besides from what I read from the news and annual reports many industries actually made a huge profit under the epidemic thanks to these subsidies
一些內地與香港關連很密切的行業的從業員深受影響，我希望政府可以在這段時間加大力度幫助他們，但最重要的，是要盡快恢復通關，恢復經濟往來。
Some practitioners of industries closely connected to the Mainland and Hong Kong have been deeply affected . I hope the Government can step up its efforts to help them and more importantly resume cross - boundary travel and economic activities as soon as possible
事實上，一天不恢復通關，無論政府派發多少援助、資助也好，都只會好像把錢投進深不見底的大海一樣，所以，我 很希望特區政府努力就通關事宜與內地和澳門盡快溝通，我相信這是很多香港市民心底的願望。
In fact as long as cross - boundary travel is not resumed granting assistance and subsidies is just like dumping money into a bottomless sea . Therefore I really hope the SAR Government will try hard to communicate with the Mainland and Macao expeditiously with regard to the resumption of cross - boundary travel . I believe this is the wish of many Hong Kong people from the bottom of their hearts
例如，在3輪基金中，清潔公司、物業管理公司及超市等均獲得補助。
For example in the third round subsidies under the Fund were provided to cleaning companies estate management companies and supermarkets
當然，在資源充足的情況下向有關公司提供補助，可謂"惠澤社群"，但在疫情下，有業界希望政府伸出援手，但政府卻似乎充耳不聞，這實在非常可惜。
Certainly given sufficient resources the provision of subsidies to the relevant companies can be regarded as benefiting the community . Nonetheless in the midst of the epidemic certain industries hope that the Government can lend them a helping hand . Regrettably the Government seems to have turned a deaf ear to them
大家試想想，經營有關業務的公司時至今天已等候17個月，已經山窮水盡，有些甚或已債台高築，想問銀行借錢相信亦沒有可能，基本上已斷水斷糧。
Members can imagine their situation . By now companies running the relevant business have been waiting for 17 months so they are already at the end of their tether and some of them are deeply in debts
香港現有1,500部跨境客運車輛，以及620部出租汽車。
There are 1 500 cross - boundary passenger vehicles and 620 rental cars in Hong Kong
如果每部車輛需要10萬元，那麼1,500部車輛便需要1億5,000萬元。
If each vehicle costs 100,000 then 1 500 vehicles will cost 150 million
如果有復業基金，我相信他們便會有一線生機、一線希望。
If a business resumption fund is provided I believe they will have a ray of hope to survive
我希望政府能夠考慮跨境陸路客運業現時的辛酸和不足之處，並希望局方能夠在這方面協助他們，讓他們復業有望。
I hope the Government will consider the prevailing hardships and insufficiencies faced by the land - based cross - boundary passenger service sector and I hope that the Bureau can offer them assistance in this regard bringing them hope for business resumption
主席，我非常感謝姚思榮議員今次提出"支援受疫情影響的特困行業"的議案。
President I am very grateful to Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing this motion on Providing support for hard - hit industries affected by the epidemic
在議會裏，對於不論是就相關議題進行的議案辯論，或口頭質詢、書面質詢，以至我作為主席的人力事務委員會，研究在港設立失業援助制度小組委員會也有就此議題進行了無數的討論，即不論是提供全港性的失業停工津貼，例如工聯會倡議的9,000元乘6個月的建議，或我們早前在立法會的議案辯論，跨黨派通過了的相關議案。
In the Council there have been countless discussions on this topic be it motion debates oral questions or written questions on the relevant issues or even in the Subcommittee to Study the Setting Up of an Unemployment Assistance System in Hong Kong under the Panel of Manpower which I chair . These discussions include both the provision of a territory - wide allowance for unemployment and suspension of work such as the proposal of a monthly allowance of 9,000 for six months advocated by the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU and the debate held previously in the Legislative Council on a motion which was passed by a cross - party majority
有些市民卻認為，這議題是否已經明日黃花呢？
Some members of the public wonder if this topic has already become out - of - date
皆因失業率好像開始下跌，已回到6%，回到疫情初期的情況。
It is because the unemployment rate seems to have started to drop and has returned to 6 % back to the level at the beginning of the epidemic
然而，主席，我認為這議題仍然極具意義，所以非常感謝姚思榮議員提出的原議案和易志明議員提出的修正案。
However President I still consider this topic profoundly meaningful so I am very grateful to Mr YIU Si - wing for moving the original motion and to Mr Frankie YICK for proposing the amendment
政府有部分官員不知是抱持"太空人"心態，還是居住於離西環遠一點點的"堅尼地城"般，致令市民認為要從政府口袋裏面拿到錢，仿如要從石頭擠血一樣。
I do not know whether it is because some government officials have got their heads in the clouds or live in a fantasy world which makes people think that to get money out of the Governments pocket is like getting blood from a stone
但是，我認為仍然是有需要討論的，縱使政府不肯推行全港的失業支援制度雖然我們會在小組委員會繼續"追"但短期內，對於一些特困行業，政府也不能夠當他們不存在、當他們"無到"的。
That said I still consider it necessary to discuss this topic . Despite the Governments reluctance to implement a territory - wide unemployment assistance system―still we will continue to pursue it in the Subcommittee―in the short run the Government cannot treat some hard - hit industries as if they do not exist and as if they are non - existent
首先我想指出，政府的數字不能夠完全反映市況。
First of all I would like to point out that the Governments figures cannot give a full picture of the market situations
按政府的行業分類而言，最受影響的是哪些行業呢？
According to the Governments classification of industries which industries are most affected?
失業率超過10%的有藝術、娛樂及康樂活動業、餐飲服務活動業和建造業，這3個行業分別錄得12%、11%和10%的失業率，但這3個行業的情況是否最差呢？
Industries with an unemployment rate over 10 % are the arts entertainment and recreation sector the food and beverage service activities sector and the construction industry which have recorded unemployment rates of 12 % 11 % and 10 % respectively . But are these three industries in the worst shape?
當然是非常差，特別是藝術、娛樂及康樂活動業。
The situation is no doubt very bad especially in the arts entertainment and recreation sector
我舉個例子，我認識很多體育教練，因為現時在室內運動場仍然需要佩戴口罩做運動，但老實說，有多少人佩戴口罩後還有心情做運動、參加訓練呢？
Let me cite an example . I know many sports coaches . As people still need to wear masks when playing sports in indoor sports centres―but honestly I wonder how many of them having to wear masks are still in the mood to play sports and take part in training―the business of many coaches has declined drastically so has the subscription of monthly fitness passes
所以一眾 教練的生意大減，甚至乎參加健身室月票計劃的生意也大減。所以我們建議政府要適時推行措施，待大家接種疫苗之後，考慮是否可以放寬參加者可以無須佩戴口罩，或者放寬一些社交距離的限制，以方便有關處所的營業呢？
For this reason we suggest that the Government implement timely measures and consider whether it is possible to relax the requirement so that participants after being vaccinated need not wear masks or to relax some restrictions on social distancing to facilitate business operation of the premises concerned
餐飲服務業其實也是類似情況，我不贅述了。
The food and beverage service sector is in a similar situation so I will not go into details
數字上更加無法顯示的，便是旅遊業、民航業和部分交通運輸業。
The situation of certain industries namely the tourism industry the civil aviation industry and some transport sectors is even impossible to be shown in figures . The situation of the tourism industry is known to all
旅遊業的情況大家也知道，旅客數字減少99%，接近零，本地旅遊其實也只是間歇性，杯水車薪，只是比沒有的好，以致很多從業員被迫轉行，掙扎求存。
There has been a 99 % drop in the number of tourists which is close to zero . Local tourism is in fact only sporadic and a drop in the bucket just better than nothing . Hence many practitioners have been forced to switch to other trades struggling for survival
我認識很多從事旅遊業的朋友，他們本來有一技之長，但現在也轉行送外賣，轉而從事一些我認為是高風險、沒保障的工作，大家說是否非常無奈呢？
I know many friends in the tourism industry who used to have good skills in the profession but have now also worked as a food courier a job I consider to be high - risk and without protection . Honourable colleagues do you think it is very helpless?
所以，就政府對各行業提供的支援措施，例如以旅遊業來說，那些本地綠色遊的限制能否再次略為放寬，諸如每間旅行社能夠開辦的團數上限，以及可否加快把鼓勵金發給旅行社。
Therefore regarding the support measures provided by the Government for various trades and industries For example in the case of the tourism industry can the restrictions on green local tours be slightly relaxed again such as the maximum number of tours that can be operated by each travel agent and can the payment of the cash incentives to travel agents be expedited?
郭偉强議員，你的發言時限到了。
Mr KWOK Wai - keung your speaking time is up
代理主席，對於這個問題，我們不會有任何的異議。
Deputy President we will not have any objection to this issue
如果沒有猜錯，我們今天仍然故步自封，仍然一籌莫展。
If I am not wrong we are still stuck in the same rut today running out of options
有人不斷在吶喊："請派錢"、"請救哪個行業"，最後我們的儲備便會入不敷支，可以說是沒有收入，只有一項支出的數字。
Some people keep shouting Please hand out money or Please save that industry . In the end we will not have sufficient fiscal reserves to cover our expenses . I would say we will not have any income but just an expenditure figure
相反，祖國在國民生產方面，雖然面對疫情，但決心只走向一條路，以一個辦法解決，便是要搞活經濟。
On the contrary as regards the national production of the Motherland despite facing the epidemic the country is determined to pursue one path and one solution that is to revitalize the economy as a solution to the problem
試問你可以支持多久？
How long can you hang in there?
長貧難顧。
Long - term poverty can hardly be addressed of in a sustainable way
今天我們未能通關，政府亦要向旅遊業界和食肆撥出一點資助所謂撥出一點，一出手便已經是一千幾百億元，政府有多少"一點"呢？
Today when cross - boundary travel cannot be resumed the Government has to provide a little bit of assistance to the tourism industry and restaurants―the so - called a little bit already amounts to tens or hundreds of billions dollars . How many of this little bit can the Government afford?
如果以內地的標準，你們已經被解僱12個月了。
By the Mainland standard you should have been fired 12 months ago
今天你們慶幸還可以繼續做，還可以聆聽我們有何見解，有何辦法解救。
Today you should feel blessed that you can continue to work and listen to the views and solutions we have put forth
其實你們真的要想 清楚，否則那天到來的時候，也不知道應該跟你們說"拜拜"好，"還是說'再見'。
In fact you really have to think carefully . Otherwise when that day comes I wonder if I should say goodbye or zaijian to you
主席，我感謝22位議員提出寶貴意見和建議。
President I thank the 22 Members for their valuable comments and suggestions
因此，我在此首先要強烈反對剛才鄭松泰議員所說："打針不是太有關係，對經濟復蘇、恢復通關、恢復跨境人員往來、社會重回正軌、社會走出逆境等沒甚麼幫助。
Therefore first of all I strongly disagree with Dr CHENG Chung - tais remarks that taking a jab is not very relevant and is of no help to economic recovery resumption of cross - border travel resumption of cross - border flows of people getting society back on track and getting society out of adversity
"就這番欠缺邏輯，且有點不負責任的言論，我是絕不認同。
I do not agree with these illogical and irresponsible remarks
剛才其他政策局的同事已就其負責範疇的行業發言。
Just now colleagues from other Policy Bureaux have spoken on the industries under their purview
就商經局特別關注的旅遊業、會展業和中小企，我們除了提供多項支援外，亦一直與業界保持密切溝通，為業界恢復業務提供各種支持和便利。
Regarding the tourism industry the convention and exhibition industry and small and medium enterprises SMEs which are of particular concern to CEDB we have apart from implementing a number of assistance measures also maintained close communication with the industry to provide various support and facilitation for the industry to resume business operation . Take the tourism industry as an example
例如旅遊業方面，剛才很多位議員亦提及，疫情對旅遊業是非常大的打擊，旅遊事務署一直與香港旅遊業議會和業界朋友保持密切溝通，推出多輪措施紓緩業界的壓力，透過防疫抗疫基金提供4輪資助，加上早前推出的旅行社鼓勵計劃及綠色生活本地遊鼓勵計劃等，向業界提供的財政支援總承擔額合共接近26億元。
Many Members have said just now that the epidemic has dealt a severe blow to the tourism industry . The Tourism Commission has been maintaining close communication with the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong and members of the trade and has introduced several rounds of measures to alleviate the pressure on the trade including four rounds of subsidies through the Anti - epidemic Fund as well as the Travel Agents Incentive Scheme and the Green Lifestyle Local Tour Incentive Scheme launched earlier . The total commitment of financial support to the industry is close to 2.6 billion
此外，我們亦在2021-2022年度預留了9億3,400萬元提升旅遊資源和促進旅遊復蘇。
In addition we have set aside 934 million in 2021 - 2022 to enhance tourism resources and promote tourism recovery
例如在提升旅遊資源方面，旅遊事務署會繼續開展本地文化、古蹟、創意和綠色旅遊，為市民和旅客提供豐富的歷史文化及旅遊消閒體驗。
For example in enhancing tourism resources the Tourism Commission will continue to develop local cultural heritage creative and green tourism to offer leisure and travel experience with rich historical and cultural elements to both locals and visitors
另外，在促進旅遊復蘇方面，香港旅遊發展局會繼續推廣"旅遊․就在香港"這個平台，透過"賞你遊香港"、"賞你住"等計劃，希望帶動本地氣氛，刺激消費。
In addition in promoting tourism recovery the Hong Kong Tourism Board HKTB will continue to promote the Holiday at Home platform and rebuild the citys ambience and stimulate spending through the Free Tour programme and the Staycation Delights campaign
另外，郵輪"公海遊"預計最快可在7月底復航。
In addition cruise - to - nowhere itineraries are expected to resume at the end of July at the earliest
特區政府與新加坡兩地政府亦會於7月份檢視雙邊"航空旅遊氣泡"的目標啟航日期，亦會繼續與疫情相對穩定和與香港有密切經貿關係的經濟體探討建立"旅遊氣泡"，致力爭取逐步有序地恢復跨境往來，同時平衡保障公共衞生和"外防輸入"的需要。
The SAR Government and the Singaporean government will also review the target date for launching the bilateral air travel bubble in July and will continue to explore with economies where the epidemic is relatively stable and which have close economic and trade ties with Hong Kong to re - launch or establish travel bubbles with a view to endeavouring to resume cross - border travel in a gradual and orderly manner while balancing the need to protect public health and prevent imported infections
另一方面，旅發局亦正積極籌備"Open House Hong Kong"平台，並部署針對性的宣傳策略，當跨境旅遊陸續恢復時，推出不同促銷優惠吸引旅客。
On the other hand HKTB is also working on the Open House Hong Kong platform and will deploy targeted promotional strategies to introduce promotional offers to attract visitors when cross - border travel gradually resumes
同時，旅發局亦會繼續透過不同的宣傳，例如以新形式舉辦大型活動，希望在疫情期間繼續保持香港在客源市場的曝光，維持香港在旅遊方面的競爭力。
At the same time HKTB will continue to promote Hong Kong through various means such as adopting new formats for organizing mega events in the hope of maintaining Hong Kongs exposure in the visitor source markets during the epidemic and maintaining the competitiveness of Hong Kong in terms of tourism
剛才我留意到有數位議員亦提及對會展行業的支援。
Just now I have noted that several Members also mentioned support for the convention and exhibition industry
香港作為會展之都，我十分認同各位議員所說，會展行業能推動很多不同行業的發展，亦能養活業內很多從業人員。
As Hong Kong is the capital of convention and exhibition I very much agree with Members that the convention and exhibition industry can facilitate the development of many different industries and support many people working in the industry
在支援會展業方面，正如有數位議員提及，政府在防疫抗疫基金下已推出分為兩部分的會議展覽業資助計劃，以重振香港作為國際會展樞紐的聲譽。
In supporting the convention and exhibition industry as several Members have mentioned the Government has introduced the two - part Convention and Exhibition Industry Subsidy Scheme under the Anti - epidemic Fund to reinvigorate the reputation of Hong Kong as an international convention and exhibition hub
計劃的一部分是向在香港會議展覽中心和亞洲國際博覽館舉辦的展覽和國際會議的主辦機構提供百分百的場租資助；另一部分是資助所有參與香港貿易發展局舉辦的展覽的參展商和主要會議的參加者50%的費用。
One part of the scheme subsidizes organizers of exhibitions and international conventions held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and the AsiaWorld - Expo 100 % of the venue rental; and the other part subsidizes all exhibitors of exhibitions organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and participants of its major conventions 50 % of their participation fees
即使受到疫 情影響，計劃仍非常受歡迎。
Despite the epidemic the scheme has been well received
截至2021年5月31日，計劃已資助31個展覽成功舉辦。
As of 31 May 2021 the scheme has funded 31 exhibitions which were held successfully
原訂為期12個月的計劃已延長至2022年6月30日，讓更多會展活動受惠，並進一步增強活動籌辦機構對在香港舉辦會展活動的信心，以及藉此提供工作機會給相關業內人士。
The scheme which was intended to last for 12 months has been extended to 30 June 2022 to benefit more convention and exhibition activities and to further boost the confidence of event organizers in organizing convention and exhibition activities in Hong Kong and provide job opportunities for members of the industry
另外，多位議員亦提及怎樣支援特困行業。
In addition many Members also mentioned how to support hard - hit industries
很多位議員提及，這些特困行業，特別是資源有限的中小企，他們面對最大的挑戰就是資金周轉。
According to many Members the greatest challenge faced by these hard - hit industries especially SMEs with limited resources is their cash flow
在這方面，為紓緩中小企資金周轉的壓力，我們在去年4月推出了中小企融資擔保計劃的百分百特別擔保產品，為企業提供信貸擔保。
In this regard in order to alleviate the cash flow pressure of SMEs we launched the Special 100 % Guarantee Product under the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme last April to provide credit guarantee for enterprises
這項產品非常受業界歡迎，截至今年5月底，已批出562億元貸款，惠及超過23,000間企業，涉及超過285,000名僱員。
The product has been well received by the industry and as of the end of May this year 56.2 billion of loans have been approved to benefit over 23 000 enterprises involving over 285 000 employees
為確保可以切實幫助中小企，在過去一年，我們先後兩度推出優化措施，將每間企業最高貸款額，由最初訂為6個月的僱員薪金及租金的總和，提高至現時18個月的僱員薪金及租金的總和；上限增至600萬元，申請期亦已延長至今年年底。
In order to provide SMEs with practical help we have introduced two rounds of enhancement measures over the past year to raise the maximum amount of loan per enterprise from the total amount of employee wages and rents for 6 months to that for 18 months subject to a ceiling of HK6 million . The application period has been extended to late this year
此外，考慮到中小企面對還款的壓力，我們亦已分別延長最長還款期及"還息不還本"安排至8年及18個月，希望藉此減輕中小企的負擔。
In addition in view of the repayment pressure faced by SMEs we have extended the maximum repayment period and the principal moratorium arrangement to 8 years and 18 months respectively with a view to alleviating the burden of SMEs
除了紓緩中小企的資金壓力外，我們亦致力幫助中小企開拓商機。
In addition to relieving the liquidity pressure of SMEs we are also committed to helping SMEs explore business opportunities
我們在過去18個月，先後兩度向"BUD專項基金"合共注資35億元，將每間企業的最高資助額提高3倍至600萬元，亦將資助地域範圍由原本只包括內地及東盟市場，大幅擴闊至37個已與香港簽署自由貿易協定及/或促進和保護投資協定的經濟體，令中小企可以有更多資金拓展更多海外市場。
Over the past 18 months we have made two injections totalling 3.5 billion into the Dedicated Fund on Branding Upgrading and Domestic Sales BUD Fund tripled the funding ceiling per enterprise to 6 million and significantly extended the geographical coverage from only the Mainland and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations markets initially to 37 economies with which Hong Kong has signed free trade agreements andor investment promotion and protection agreements so that SMEs will have more capital to expand into more overseas markets
由於環球疫情持續，境外市場復蘇需時，境外展覽會於短期內難以全面重啟，剛才亦有很多議員提及到這點。
As the global epidemic lingers on overseas markets will take some time to recover; and overseas exhibitions are unlikely to fully resume within a short period of time . Many Members have just mentioned this point
考慮到虛擬展覽在疫情促使的新常態下越趨普遍，我們已由今年4月開始，擴大中小企業市場推廣基金的資助範圍，將資助範圍擴大至涵蓋由具良好往績的機構舉辦，以"本地市場"為目標及具規模的展覽會及網上展覽；以及放寬只限中小企申請的要求至涵蓋非上市企業，為期兩年。
Given that virtual exhibitions have become increasingly popular under the new normal brought about by the epidemic we have since April this year started expanding the funding scope of the SME Export Marketing Fund to cover large - scale exhibitions and virtual exhibitions targeting the local market held by organizations with good track record; while relaxing the eligibility criteria from covering SMEs only to non - listed enterprises for a period of two years
事實上，近期不少機構亦逐漸恢復舉辦展銷活動。
In fact quite a number of organizations have gradually resumed holding exhibition and sales activities
市場推廣基金將有助支援企業進行更多"本地市場"的推廣活動和拓展業務，紓緩因海外市場的業務萎縮的影響。
The SME Export Marketing Fund will support enterprises in conducting more local market promotion activities and business expansion so as to alleviate the impact of shrinking business in overseas markets
主席，隨着本地疫情減退，香港的營商氣氛近期已有改善，為多個行業的恢復帶來曙光。
President with the easing of the local epidemic the business sentiment in Hong Kong has recently improved bringing a ray of hope for the recovery of many sectors
我們期望社會各界齊心協力，積極參與疫苗接種計劃，以創造有利條件恢復市民的正常生活及與其他跨境商務和旅遊接觸，讓消費及其他經濟活動得以最大程度地恢復，從根本上協助受影響的行業走出困境。
We hope that all sectors of the community will join hands and actively participate in the vaccination programme to create conditions conducive to restoring peoples normal life and other cross - border business and tourism activities so that consumption and other economic activities can be restored to the greatest extent possible and fundamentally help the affected industries to get out of the predicament
代理主席，我今天感謝姚思榮議員提出這項議案。
Deputy President I would like to thank Mr YIU Si - wing for moving this motion today
其實我本來很想修正這項議案，在議案中提及我們的行業，不過，姚思榮議員的議案中其中一段寫到："提供額外支援予旅遊及相關行業"，那 麼算了，我就假設我們的行業是相關行業。
In fact I originally wanted to propose an amendment to this motion by mentioning our industry in the motion but since one of the paragraphs in Mr YIU Si - wings motion reads providing extra support for tourism and related industries so forget it I will assume that our industry is a related industry
所以，我對於姚議員的議案是非常支持的。
Therefore I fully support Mr YIUs motion
不過，我也要說說，其實特區政府在過去的抗疫工作上也十分辛苦，當然有功有過，有做得不足的地方，尤其是食物及衞生局副局長，我比較常見到他，而陳局長則在電視機裏看到比較多。
However I must also say that the SAR Government had actually worked very hard in the fight against the epidemic in the past . Of course there are achievements and faults and there are inadequacies in its work particularly the Under Secretary for Food and Health for I see him more often . As for Secretary Prof Sophia CHAN I see her more on television
然而，有些抗疫工作仍然未如理想或未夠精準。
However some of the anti - epidemic work is less than satisfactory or lack precision
老實說，我有膽子問食物及衞生局副局長，對漁農業的認知有多少？或過去一年，他投放多少時間了解他們受疫情影響的程度？
Frankly speaking I dare to ask the Under Secretary for Food and Health how much he knows about the agriculture and fisheries industries or how much time he has spent in the past year to understand the extent to which they have been affected by the epidemic
不算多，或者比例相當少，很多時候也要依靠行業向局方反映。
Not much or the proportion is very small . It often relies on the industry to reflect to the Bureau
這部分有很多細緻的問題，可能徐副局長也未必知道，但政府在這方面也給予了少許幫助。
This part involves a lot of details which Under Secretary Dr CHUI may not necessarily know . Yet the Government has offered a little help in this area
正如賑災一樣，災民肚餓，便煲粥給他們吃，但其實全部都是水，"筷子浮起，人頭落地"，但前線官員就是左怕右怕，害怕因驗船方法而隨時被人追究責任，又說甚麼公職人員行為失當等，礙手礙腳，令我們無法趕及在7月1日前完 成大部分漁船的一些基本工作，我希望特區政府回去留意一下。
Since frontline officials have all kinds of worries afraid of being held responsible anytime for the method adopted in vessel surveys and misconduct in public office and so on . These hurdles prevent us from completing certain basic work by 1 July for most fishing vessels . I hope the SAR Government will go back and take note of this
我並非要求政府給予金錢資助，根本首3輪的防疫抗疫基金也給予了少許支援，雖然不足，但老實說，我們作為議員，或在行業裏，要不斷平衡各方，希望與香港共渡時艱，或是在少許幫助下，依靠自己努力渡過這難關，我們有在這方面努力。
I am not asking the Government to offer financial assistance for a little support though inadequate has been given under the first three rounds of the Anti - epidemic Fund . Frankly speaking we as Members or practitioners of the industry have to juggle the interests of different parties . We hope to tide over this difficult time together with Hong Kong people or to rely on ourselves to overcome the difficulties with a little help
最後，我尚餘約1分鐘，我想特別與特區政府討論關於與內地的政策協調的問題，尤其是徐副局長或政制及內地事務局應多回去內地，與他們協調通關的安排。
We have worked hard in this regard . Finally with the one minute or so left I would like to discuss with the SAR Government in particular the issue of policy coordination with the Mainland . Under Secretary Dr CHUI or the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau should go to the Mainland more often to coordinate with them the arrangements for resuming cross - boundary travel
