紅色線是節節上升的工程開支，現時每年超過1,000億元；藍色線是現時融資的方法，即賣地收入，因為基本工程儲備基金是以賣地收入為工程融資。
The red line represents the skyrocketing expenditure on works which exceeds 1,000 billion per year nowadays . The blue line denotes the means of financing currently adopted ie . revenue from land sale as CWRF finances works projects with land sale revenue
藍色線十分波動，非常曲折、大上大落其實現在已經高處不勝寒未來很可能出現賣地收入大幅調整的情況。
The blue line―which is in fact at too high a level at this moment―exhibits quite a lot of fluctuations with zigzag curves and marked ups and downs it is very likely that there will be a sharp fall in land sale revenue in the future
實際上，即使從技術角度來說，當中也有很多問題。
In fact from the technical perspective there are also a lot of problems
第一，該決議案涉嫌違反《借款條例》第3條的規定。
First the Resolution is suspected of violating the provision in section 3 of the Loans Ordinance
《借款條例》第3條訂明："政府可向任何人借入款項，借入的方式、條款及規限條件由政府與該人以協議議定，而借入的款額及借款的目的則須由立法會藉決議批准。
It is stipulated in section 3 of the Ordinance that The Government may in such manner and on such terms and subject to such conditions as may be agreed between the Government and any person borrow from such person such sum or sums and for such purposes as may be approved by Resolution of the Legislative Council
"與我們相關的就是後段，即"借入的款額及借款的目的"。
The last part of the provision is the part related to us that is such sum or sums and for such purposes
可是，我們所關心的肯定是總額，而這也是立法的原意。
Yet we are definitely concerned about the total amount involved which is the legislative intent
這裏其實出現一個混淆視聽的操作。
Here comes the operation which causes confusion
即使我接受政府可以循環貸款或循環發債的方法推出綠色債券，但這並不等於政府無須按《借款條例》第31條的要求，向立法會提交一個借款上限，對嗎？
Even if I accept that the Government may introduce green bonds by means of credit facility or bonds issued on a revolving basis it does not mean that the Government needs not comply with the requirement under section 31 of the Ordinance in stating a borrowing ceiling for the Legislative Council
因此，政府的說法是混淆了，即因為可以循環貸款，所以便可以把"款額"解釋為"額度"，我認為這解釋是錯的。
Am I right? . Hence the Governments remark that the word sum can be interpreted as a limit because borrowing can be made on a revolving basis is confusing . I consider this a wrong interpretation
因此，基本上來說，政府不可提出這項決議案，因為決議案違反了《借款條例》第31條。
Basically the Government cannot propose the Resolution for the Resolution is in violation of section 31 of the Ordinance
當局在註釋中說明這些由綠色債券集資而來的資金，將會用作融資綠色工程時，這是很複雜的。
When the authorities state in the Explanatory Note that proceeds from green bonds will be used for financing green works projects the case is very complicated
局長，別搞錯，我們當前處理的問題，是本港公共財政的機制會否因為這項綠色債券 的發行而受到干擾。
Secretary do not get this wrong . The issue we are now addressing is whether the public finance mechanism of Hong Kong will be interrupted by the issuance of the green bonds under discussion
這顯然是會受干擾的，因為現時根本並無制度或法例的改革來配合這個所謂專款專用的想法，即綠色債券供綠色工程使用。
Obviously it will be interrupted for no reform of the mechanism or laws concerned has been introduced to tie in with the so - called dedicated - fund - for - dedicated - use concept under which proceeds from green bonds will be used for green works projects . On the left side of this diagram is the current practice adopted by the authorities . It is a muddled - up approach
當前的問題是，政府拒絕在決議案的正文或註釋中定義何謂"綠色"，以致當局的註釋變得不可理解。
At issue is that the Government has refused to define the word green in either the body text or the Explanatory Note of the Resolution and this has made the Explanatory Note incomprehensible
我們應如何理解"綠色"這詞呢？
How should we interpret the word green?
各位同事，我很想告訴大家，關於綠色債券的問題，我們未必有根本性的分歧。
Honourable colleagues I am eager to tell all of you that on the issue of green bonds we may not necessarily hold any fundamental differences
然而，因為政府行事粗疏，罔顧目標，忽略內容，任意扭曲和演繹法例，才令我們現在陷入困難的局面。
But since the Government has acted in a slipshod manner giving no regard to the purpose and overlooked the content of the Resolution and it has distorted and interpreted the laws arbitrarily we are now caught in a dilemma
代理主席，我感覺上不論是哪一派的議員都認為綠色債券牽涉的問題很複雜，特別在政府語焉不詳的情況下，對香港公共財政的機制的影響有多大，我認為我們未有機會進行細緻的討論。
Deputy President I have the feeling that all Members disregarding their political affiliations consider that green bonds involve very complicated issues and particularly when the Government has not given a detailed explanation I think there has yet been an opportunity for us to discuss in detail the question of how substantially Hong Kongs public finance system will be affected
我感謝局長剛才稍為作出回應，由於這是專款專項的發債安排，所以有3個時間點。
I thank the Secretary for giving a brief response just now . Since this is a bond issuance programme intended to provide dedicated funds for dedicated purpose three points in time are therefore involved
第一個時間點是發債的時間，即公布發行甚麼債券和內容包括甚麼的時間。第二個時間點是宣布某一項目會用這些債券支付開支的時間。第三是財務委員會撥款的時間點。
First the time of the issuance of bonds and in other words the time when an announcement is made on what kind of bonds will be issued and what details will be included; second the time when it is announced that the bonds will be used to meet the expenditure of a certain project and third the time when funding is approved by the Finance Committee
如果局長能夠在之後的發言中就這3個時間點再具體向立法會和公眾解釋，說明次序上如何安排，我認為可以幫助大家澄清疑問。
If in his speech later the Secretary can explain these three points in time more specifically to the Legislative Council and the public and give an account of how their order will be arranged I think it will help clarify Members misgivings
另外，我想特別回應胡志偉議員，他提到由於財務委員會仍然有審批的權力，所以現時有關綠色債券的爭議主要是內容是否解釋清楚，不像香港機場管理局這類法定機構出現的問題，即現在政府透過這類機構自行融資來興建機場三跑，直接將這個大規模的項目繞過立法會。
Besides I wish to particularly respond to Mr WU Chi - wai . He said that as the Finance Committee still has the vetting and approval power the controversies over the green bonds now mainly have to do with whether the details are clearly expounded unlike the problem concerning such statutory bodies as the Airport Authority Hong Kong AA in that through self - financing arrangements made by AA for the development of a third runway at the airport the Government has simply bypassed the Legislative Council in taking forward this large - scale project
我明白胡志偉議員的說法，機場三跑這一類繞過立法會作自行融資的安排當然很有問題，因為在立法會完全沒有討論的機會。
I understand the point made by Mr WU Chi - wai . This self - financing approach that bypasses the Legislative Council as in the case of the third runway at the airport is certainly questionable because the Legislative Council is entirely denied an opportunity of discussion
現在的問題是，如果大家看看基本工程儲備基金的條文，便真的會認為政府在處理這個機制上，是否需要對基本工程儲備基金作改動呢？
Now the problem is that if we take a look at the provisions on CWRF we will really wonder whether it is necessary for the Government to make changes to CWRF when handling this mechanism
我認為這涉及機制的問題，剛才局長和同事都沒有機會詳細回應，我希望大家稍後發言時可以關心這一點。
I think neither the Secretary nor Honourable colleagues had the opportunity to respond in detail to these questions involving the mechanism . I hope that Members can pay attention to this point in their speeches later
另外，我感到比較遺憾的是，建制派只有周浩鼎議員就中止待續議案發言。
Moreover I find it rather regrettable that Mr Holden CHOW is the only Member from the pro - establishment camp who spoke on the adjournment motion
周浩鼎議員可能覺得其他議員對制度或這項決議案的拿捏不太準確，所以便取笑他們。
Mr Holden CHOW may think that other Members do not understand the system or this Resolution too accurately and so he ridiculed them
但是，他應該回應我的發言，我第一次發言時提及4點，起碼我希望聽到他對第一點的回應，即究竟在《借款條例》的第31條之下借入的款項，政府是否應該提供一個總借款上限？
But he should have responded to my speech . When I spoke the first time I mentioned four points and at least I hoped that I could hear his response to the first point I made and that is regarding the sums borrowed under section 31 of the Loans Ordinance should the Government present a ceiling for the total borrowings?
另外，我也想回應周浩鼎議員提到定義的問題。
Moreover I also wish to respond to the point on the definition mentioned by Mr Holden CHOW
是否應該在提出這項決議案辯論時已經訂立附加指引呢？
Should the Government not draw up a supplementary guideline before proposing this Resolution for debate?
我覺得現時政府很粗疏。
I think the Government has been sloppy with this
最後，由於局長提到有民主派議員將這建議與東大嶼甚或"一帶一路"連結起來，而他覺得這些事情很遙遠，如果局長有興趣，不妨也回應例如黃錦星局長的說法。
Lastly since the Secretary said that some pro - democracy Members have linked up this proposal with East Lantau and even the Belt and Road Initiative which in his view are matters that are very far away the Secretary may if he is interested respond to the remarks made by say Secretary WONG Kam - sing
鄭松泰議員說是"綠色強暴"，我覺得措辭很強烈，但請你明白我們的憂慮。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai said that this is green rape which I think is strong wording but I hope you will appreciate our concern
局長，陳茂波司長說東大嶼的數千億元開支可以考慮發債，這是A；B則是黃錦星局長說東大嶼人工島是一個接近零碳排放的城市。
Secretary Financial Secretary Paul CHAN said that consideration can be given to issuing bonds to meet the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars for East Lantau and this is A while B is Secretary WONG Kam - sings claim that the artificial islands in East Lantau will be a metropolis with near zero carbon emission
那麼，A和B加起來，究竟在局長的心目中，又或現時按照他打算參考的歐盟或其他有關綠色債券的標準，其實東大嶼人工島上的項目是否也有機會納入綠色債券的融資範圍呢？
So considering A and B together my question is In the mind of the Secretary or according to the standard of EU or other standards for green bonds from which he plans to draw reference do the projects on the artificial islands in East Lantau also stand a chance to be included in the areas for which finance can be secured through the issuance of green bonds?
在我就這項中止待續議案提出待決議題之前，我想提醒議員，根據《議事規則》第402及3條，該議案如獲得通過，辯論即告中止待續；如議案被否決，本會便須繼續就根據《借款條例》動議的擬議決議案進行辯論。
Before I put the question on this adjournment motion I wish to remind Members that in accordance with Rule 402 and 3 of the Rules of Procedure if the motion is agreed to the debate shall stand adjourned; if the motion is negatived Council shall continue the debate on the proposed resolution under the Loans Ordinance
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：現即將辯論中止待續。
I now put the question to you and that is That the debate be now adjourned
梁議員，我主要想回應謝偉銓議員剛才對張超雄議員的批評。
Mr LEUNG I mainly wish to respond to the criticisms made by Mr Tony TSE of Dr Fernando CHEUNG just now
其實關於提升護養院人均樓面面積的標準，張超雄議員已清楚指出，即使他的修正案獲得通過，政府在現行條例下仍有酌情權，可以容許現時在新標準下不合資格或不合標準的護養院繼續存在。
In fact in respect of raising the standard of the area of floor space for each resident in nursing homes Dr Fernando CHEUNG has clearly pointed out that even if his amendment were passed the Government would still have discretionary power under the existing law . It may allow existing nursing homes ineligible or unqualified under the new standard to continue to operate
另一方面，根據政府的數字，如果我們要為提升標準後的新增面積提供資助，金額是6億6,000萬元。
Meanwhile according to the Governments figures if we need to provide subsidies for the additional area after the standard is raised the amount will be 660 million
6億6,000萬元便可以令一群臨終、走到人生最後階段的長者更具尊嚴地享有更多生活空間，我不太明白謝偉銓議員為何還要藉此機會抹黑張超雄議員。
A sum of 660 million can enable elderly persons spending their twilight years at the last stage of their lives to enjoy more living space with greater dignity . I do not quite understand why Mr Tony TSE still took this opportunity to smear Dr Fernando CHEUNG
我很希望同事日後就不同土地項目的需求發言時，不要再亂扣帽子。
I very much hope that Honourable colleagues will not label other people wilfully when speaking on the requirements for different land projects in future
我們要實事求是，翻看政府本身已經完成的研究。
We should seek the truth from facts and look at the findings of the research completed by the Government itself
主席，我要求點算法定人數。
Chairman I request a headcount
郭家麒議員說不如發行紅色債券，他這個比喻真的維肖維妙。
Dr KWOK Ka - ki suggested that red bonds might as well be issued . What a wonderful analogy it is
但更早之前，陳志全議員說現時推出的綠色債券"整色整水"，的確一語中的。
But even before that Mr CHAN Chi - chuen described the introduction of green bonds as which indeed hit the nail right on the head . Mr CHAN was a bit worried that it was too negative a comment to make
陳議員有點擔心會否太過負面，我認為不是負面，所謂"整色"即是隨你選甚麼顏色，可以是紅色、可以是綠色、可以是黃色，也可以是藍色；而"整水"，即是當你對外舉債借錢，你想自己製造一個大水塘，正是廣東話"水為財"的水，說這是"整色整水"，正是一語道破地解釋了現時我們為何要支持這項中止待續議案。
I think it was not negative . Making colours means that you can choose whatever colour you like . It can be red green yellow or blue whereas making water means that when you secure borrowings you want to make a big reservoir just as money is often referred to as water in colloquial Cantonese
政府現時說法之模糊，粗俗一點說，真的好像在"博大霧"，原來不是逐個項目說明，總之日後政府忽然想起甚麼事情，說是"綠色"的便去做，這的確令香港人感到擔心。
It turns out that not each and every project will be clearly accounted for and in future the Government can go ahead with anything that it suddenly thinks of and terms it green . This is indeed worrying to Hongkongers
政府自己變成一個負債人，《基本法》第一百零七條說明香港的公帑或庫房必須收支平衡，量入為出。
The Government itself will turn into a debtor . Article 107 of the Basic Law provides that Hong Kong should strive to achieve fiscal balance in its public coffers or treasury and keep expenditure within the limits of revenues
你說現在向外借錢，其實是為綠色項目融資，說的是綠色金融等。
The Government said that the borrowings are secured actually to finance the green projects and by this the Government is referring to green finance and so on
可是，所謂綠色金融，如果單從顏色來說，還以為是一塊板，或像我們的地毯般全是綠色，總之綠色便是"萬能key"，甚麼都可以。
However for green finance so to speak if we consider it simply from the colour we might associate it with a board or something entirely in green like this carpet here . Anyway green is like an image that can be photoshopped to serve all purposes
又或者其實是一塊白板，不單只是綠色，填甚麼顏色也可以，紅、橙、黃、綠、青、藍、紫，只是一塊填色板。
Or it is actually a white board which can be coloured not only in green but any colour be it red orange yellow green blue indigo or violet and it is merely a colouring board
你們只管以綠色為名，真的不能想象。
You people care only to act in the name of green and this is indeed inconceivable
現在叫市民不用擔心，說這是環保和保育問題。
Now they are telling the people not to worry and that this has to do with environmental protection and conservation
老實說，單說海豚，我們的中華白海豚是國寶，而那個港珠澳大橋管理局副局長余烈卻說白海豚四處游動，好像我們不知道般，難道白海豚會定下來在一個地點游動？
Honestly just look at the dolphins . Chinese white dolphins are a national treasure to us and that YU Lie a Deputy Director of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Authority outrageously said that the white dolphins swim everywhere sounding as if this is a fact that we do not know . Could it be that the dolphins always swim at the same place?
他說它們周圍游動，數目沒有減少，1條也沒有因為港珠澳大橋工程而死亡。
He said that they would swim everywhere that their number did not drop and that not even one dolphin had died because of the construction works of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge
其實來來去去隨時可能是同一條，他們是用這方法計算白海豚的數目，然後對我們說完全沒問題。
This is what they do in counting the number of dolphins and then they told us that there is no problem at all
香港不是亞洲開發銀行，又不是世界銀行，你要付很高利息，人家才覺得有意義，亦要別人相信香港真的為應對氣候變化而搞環保，人家才會願意光顧，一起搞好綠色金融。
Hong Kong is not the Asia Development Bank ADB; nor is it the World Bank . You have to pay interest at a very high rate before people will consider it worthwhile to buy these bonds . And people have to be convinced that Hong Kong is engaging in environmental protection really with the aim of addressing climate change before they will be willing to buy these bonds and work together for the development of green finance
我個人尤其擔心東大嶼的資金安排。
Personally I am particularly concerned about the funding arrangements for East Lantau
剛才也提到，陳茂波司長說可以發債，而環境局局長亦說東大嶼人工島將來的填海發展十分環保，大家不用害怕，他應該曾經使用"零排放"等字眼，但我真的不太相信，真的可以做到"零"？
As I said just now Financial Secretary Paul CHAN said that bonds can be issued while the Secretary for the Environment also said that the reclamation project of developing the artificial islands at East Lantau will be most environmentally - friendly telling us not to worry about it and he used such wording as zero emission . But I really do not quite believe it . Can it really be zero?
有人說政府的意思也是這樣，但寫出來卻是裝模作樣，說任何已經得到立法會財務委員會批准的工程，只要有綠色成分都可以使用。
Some people said that this is what the Government intends to do but the Government when putting it down in writing has made a pretence by stating that the funds can be used for any project approved by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council so long as it features green elements
那麼是立法會財務委員會批准之前還是之後呢？
But is it before or after an approval is granted by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council?
在我們批准之前，如果明知道這號稱是綠色工程，我們會有其他考慮，當然包括環境及保育等。
If we know before we grant an approval that it is a green project we will have other considerations such as those relating to the environment conservation and so on . The Government did not put it this way . It only said that the funds can be used for an approved project
政府沒有這樣說，只說批准之後，事後可以說你們看看，這裏安裝了一塊太陽能收集板，已經十分"綠色"了。
But after an approval is granted the Government can then say Look a solar panel is retrofitted here and that makes it very green
我亦不敢保證它一定會。
Well I dare not say that it will definitely do so
其實就是東大嶼，它便是用這些字眼混淆視聽。
Actually it is East Lantau and they are using these words to confuse and mislead the people
不知大家有否留意，昨天立法會有一項有關東大嶼的口頭質詢，政府回答說交通運輸研究先行，他們會監察氣候變化。
I wonder if Members have paid attention to an oral question on East Lantau asked in the Legislative Council yesterday . The Government said that priorities would be accorded to conducting studies on transport infrastructure and that they would monitor climate change
局長說出了"氣候變化"這4個字，說整個東大嶼如此浩瀚的工程與氣候變化是要掛鈎的，這還不是綠色工程是甚麼？
The Secretary used the words climate change stressing that the works of such a magnitude in the entire East Lantau would have to be linked with climate change . So what is it if it is not a green project?
我真的希望我誤會了政府，當然誤會的不單是我，很多香港人也是這樣想。
I really hope that I have mistaken the Governments intention and if so of course I am not the only person mistaking its intention for many Hongkongers hold this view too
我現在請毛孟靜議員發言答辯。
I now call upon Ms Claudia MO to reply
陳帆局長真的很惹笑，令人失笑。
Secretary Frank CHAN was so very hilarious that he had us laughing despite ourselves
林卓廷議員一直對他說，稍後發言時要說清楚：第一，請他收回指引用《立法會條例》調查將會令工程延誤的說法；第二，要求陳局長道歉。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting had all along advised him to be clear when he spoke later . Firstly he should withdraw the statement that invocation of the Legislative Council Ordinance to conduct an inquiry would cause delays to the works . Secondly Secretary CHAN should apologize
人世當然有黑又有白，有高有低，有是有非。
There are certainly blacks and whites highs and lows and rights and wrongs in life
局長是不懂得辯論的。
The Secretary knows nothing about how to debate
當然，他最後說會在紅磡站鑿開部分看看。
Of course finally he said they would cut open part of the structures of Hung Hom Station
1%也算是部分，99%就當然是大部分了，他說當然不是鑿開大部分。
One percent is also considered a part while 99 % is certainly a large part . He said that they are definitely not going to cut open a large part
我仍然想提醒陳帆先生，他是港鐵公司董事局成員，經常把自己說成是一個受害者，好像國泰航空有限公司般，遺失了乘客的東西，就說自己也有東西不見了，也是受害者，這種態度是難以令人接受的。
I still wish to remind Mr Frank CHAN of one thing He as a board member of MTRCL often portrays himself as a victim just like Cathay Pacific Airways who portrayed itself as also a victim suffering loss after it had lost passengers personal information . This attitude is unacceptable
我真的不知道局長在港鐵公司董事局開會時是怎樣的呢？
I really have no idea how the Secretary behaves at the board meetings of MTRCL
他說自由黨希望大家多等一會，給予多一點時間，如果專家顧問團或調查委員會的調查結果發現很多破綻，大家才作批評，屆時才算。
Besides the Liberal Party hopes that we wait a little bit longer and allow some more time . If the findings of the Expert Adviser Team or the Commission of Inquiry reveal many telltale signs at that time we can make criticisms and decide what to do
我認為最刺激的是自由黨鍾國斌議員表示，政府已說他們被港鐵公司蒙在鼓裏。
What strikes me as most exciting is that Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan of the Liberal Party said the Government had already indicated that it was kept in the dark by MTRCL
至今也不知道，未能還土瓜灣數以萬計的居民一個公道。
So far the answer is unknown . It is still unable to restore justice to the tens of thousands of residents in To Kwa Wan
我也不想太過多費唇舌，坦白說，這些非民主派盲從政府的姿態，即使大家閉上眼睛睡着了也能看到。
I do not want to talk too much . Frankly speaking these non - democrats blindly follow the Governments stance . We can see it even asleep with our eyes closed
如果原來真的有腫瘤，是管理上的問題，便與工程本身根本無關。
If it turns out that there is a tumour ie . a management problem then it has nothing to do with the works
很多朋友說，功能界別對於這些情況為何特別關注呢？
Many people ask why the functional constituencies are particularly concerned about these problems
事實上，我有很多選民居住在紅磡和土瓜灣，他們也有問我究竟政府或香港鐵路有限公司準備如何處理和調查事件。
As a matter of fact many of my constituents are living in Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan and they have asked me how the Government or the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL is going to handle and look into the incidents
當然，現時就紅磡站的問題，有夏正民法官擔任主席的調查委員會正在處理，大家差不多每天在新聞報道也看到審查的過程，而很多新的發展或大家以前不清楚的內部問題，亦由調查委員會陸續披露出來。
Of course the Commission of Inquiry chaired by Mr Justice Michael John HARTMANN is now dealing with the problem of Hung Hom Station . We can learn about the progress of investigation from media reports almost every day and many new developments or internal problems that were unknown to us before have been gradually disclosed by the Commission of Inquiry
有關短樁事件，當時的房屋工程尚未完工，還沒有人入住，最終還是要拆卸。
That short - piling incident happened prior to resident occupation and the building works were still unfinished back then . Eventually the housing blocks had to be demolished
我們一定會用立法會擁有的權力來監察政府，調查相關的問題，令事情水落石出。
We surely will exercise the power vested in the Legislative Council to monitor the Government and look into the related matters so that we can uncover the truth behind the incident
其實，這次即使本會進行調查，我們主要針對的是港鐵公司的問題，政府不用太擔心，因為不是調查政府，而是調查港鐵公司。
In fact even if this Council conducts an investigation we will mainly focus on the problems with MTRCL . The Government should not be too worried as our target of investigation is not the Government but MTRCL
而且政府亦說過，它也是被港鐵公司蒙在鼓裏，所以，最終如果經過調查，調查委員會的報告亦未得到公眾接受或未能解決公眾的疑慮，我們稍後必定會履行立法會議員的責任，運用不同的方法，包括引用《條例》來調查此事。
Besides according to the Government it was also kept in the dark by MTRCL . Therefore after investigation if the report of the Commission of Inquiry is unacceptable to the public or is unable to address public concern we will definitely discharge the responsibility of the Legislative Council in due course to look into this incident through various means including invoking the Ordinance
代理主席，我謹以根據《借款條例》第61章第31條提出的擬議決議案小組委員會主席的身份，向立法會報告小組委員會審議工作的重點。
Deputy President in my capacity as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Proposed Resolution under Section 31 of the Loans Ordinance Cap . 61 I now report the salient points of the deliberations of the Subcommittee to this Council
擬議決議案的目的是尋求立法會批准，授權政府為基本工程儲備基金的目的，不時向任何人借入不超過1,000億港元的款項或等值款項。
The proposed Resolution seeks the Legislative Councils approval to authorize the Government to borrow from time to time from any person for the purposes of the Capital Works Reserve Fund CWRF sums not exceeding HK100 billion or equivalent
該1,000億港元的款額是借入的所有款項在任何時間的未清償本金的上限，而規定借入的款額須記入基本工程儲備基金帳目的貸項下。
The sum of HK100 billion is the maximum amount of all borrowings that may be outstanding by way of principal at any time and the sums borrowed are required to be credited to CWRF
政府當局借款的目的是為推出政府綠色債券計劃，為政府的綠色工務項目提供資金。
The purpose of the borrowings made by the Administration is to launch a Government Green Bond Programme to provide funding for green public works projects of the Government
小組委員會舉行了3次會議，與政府當局商議及聽取團體代表的意見。
The Subcommittee has held three meetings to discuss with the Administration and receive views from deputations
小組委員會察悉，擬議決議案的草擬方式涵蓋範圍似乎極廣，足以讓政府把所借入的款項用於任何工務計劃，而非僅限於綠色工務項目。
The Subcommittee notes that the proposed Resolution as drafted appears to be wide enough to allow the Government to expend the amount of borrowings on any public works programme not just green public works projects
部分委員關注綠色債券中"綠色"一詞沒有明確定義，擬議決議案的正文亦欠缺顯示政府當局立法原意的關鍵字眼，例如"綠色債券"及"綠色工務項目"，因此難以防止政府當局偏離推廣綠色金融的原意。
Some members have expressed concerns about the absence of a concise definition of green in green bonds and the absence of key words indicating the Administrations legislative intent such as green bonds and green public works projects in the body text of the proposed resolution which will make it difficult to prevent the Administration from deviating from the intended purpose of promoting green finance
有委員籲請當局把"綠色工務項目"作為借款目的納入決議案的措辭中。
Some members call for the inclusion of green public works projects as purposes of borrowings in the wording of the Resolution by the Administration
部分委員憂慮，政府當局發行綠色債券所得的資金是否確實支用在具備環境效益的工務工程上，以及當局會否藉機迴避或不當地影響財務委員會對某些工務項目的審核。
Some members are concerned about whether the proceeds from the green bonds issued by the Administration are actually used on public works projects with environmental benefits and whether the Administration will take the opportunity to circumvent or unduly affect the Finance Committees scrutiny of certain public works projects
