政府過去數次的答覆，都是含糊其詞，又混淆不同的概念，至今路政署仍然在補充質詢的答覆中指出，維修費用包括一般損耗的維修費，路政署沒有相關分項數字。
The several replies from the Government were all ambiguous and had mixed up different concepts and until now the Highways Department still said in its reply to my supplementary question that the maintenance cost includes the cost of repairing ordinary wear and tear and that the Highways Department does not have a breakdown of the relevant data
這樣的答覆更令我認為這筆預算的維修費中，有很多不清晰的地方。
Such a reply convinces me all the more that there are lots of unclear aspects in this sum of estimated maintenance cost
為確保公帑用得其所，我因此提出修正案。
In order to ensure proper use of our public money I put forward this amendment
老實說，他說這筆費用只是預算，其實何時正式通車也是未知之數。
To be honest he says this sum of money is merely a budget and the official date for the bridge to open to traffic is still an unknown
大家也知道，現時有很多問題是仍未解決的，一旦出現延誤，在今年也未必可以通車。
We know that many problems remain unresolved and once a delay occurs we may not necessarily see traffic within this year
所以，這筆預算未必會用得着，路政署署長只是把這筆費用放進維修費用當中，即使我削減了這筆費用，日後當他需要時，只須拉上補下也是可以支撐住的，而這便可以給他一個教訓，令他知道要向公眾清楚解釋港珠澳大橋這座天價大橋及其天價維修費為何。
Therefore this amount of estimated expenditure may not be utilized and the Director of Highways just wanted to tuck this expenditure into the maintenance cost so even if I cut this expenditure he can still manage in case of need simply by reallocating funds from one corner to another . But this can teach him a lesson and make him realize that he must explain clearly to the public the astronomical cost of the HZMB as well as its astronomical maintenance cost
我提出的另一觀點是，這些維修費用是否應該由珠海和澳門分擔部分呢？
Another viewpoint I propose is should some of these maintenance expenses be shouldered by Zhuhai and Macao?
因為港珠澳大橋是一個"Y"字型設計，珠海和澳門接線也會 透過主橋連接到香港接線。
I say this because the HZMB has a Y - shape design in which the Zhuhai link road and Macao link road will be connected to the HKLR through the Main Bridge
日後當珠海大橋落成，由香港出發的車輛將會分流至珠海和澳門接線，但珠海和澳門車輛則會經港珠澳大橋的主橋匯聚到香港接線。
In the future when the Zhuhai Bridge is built vehicles departing from Hong Kong will diverge onto the Zhuhai link road and Macao link road respectively but vehicles departing from Zhuhai and Macao will converge onto HKLR through HZMB Main Bridge
說到這一點，相信大家也明白，就是港珠澳大橋香港接線的車流量，必然會高於澳門接線和珠海接線，因為來自澳門和珠海居民的車輛，必定要使用港珠澳大橋香港接線的。
Concerning this point I believe everyone understands and that is that the traffic volume on the HKLR of the HZMB will surely be larger than those on the Macao link road and Zhuhai link road because the vehicles from Macao and Zhuhai must use the HKLR of the HZMB
基於上述原因，日後當港珠澳大橋通車後，澳門和珠海的車輛必然會對香港接線及香港口岸設施造成一定損耗。
Based on this reason when the HZMB is open to traffic vehicles from Macao and Zhuhai will surely cause a certain degree of wear and tear to the HKLR and the boundary crossing facilities
如果沒有香港接線，港珠澳大橋根本便無法運作、沒有存在價值，亦不會稱作港珠澳大橋。
Without the HKLR the HZMB would not be able to function nor have value of existence let alone being called the HZMB
因此，我要求珠海和澳門與香港共同分擔香港接線和香港口岸某個百分比的費用比例，我認為便是合情合理的。
Therefore I demand that Zhuhai and Macao jointly shoulder with Hong Kong a certain percentage of the expenditure on the HKLR and the boundary crossing facilities and I think this demand is fair and reasonable
最後，香港其實是為了滿足珠海和澳門的要求，才參與興建港珠澳大橋，而為了建設香港接線和香港口岸，我們更使用了聲譽甚差的承建商，因而超支過百億元。
Finally Hong Kongs participation in the construction of the HZMB was in fact a move to meet the demands of Zhuhai and Macao . In order to build the HKLR and the HKBCF we had used a contractor with very bad reputation and the result was that the actual cost exceeded the approved cost by more than 10 billion
由這承建商所製造的香港接線口岸，正如我剛才所說，可能要到未來才會見真章。
The HKLR and the HKBCF built by this contractor like I said a while ago may reveal their real quality only in the future
即是在收樓後，大家本以為樓宇原好無缺，豈料經過一年半載，便已需要保養維修，我更相信屆時的維修費將會大幅上升，這將會是一個無底深潭。
As is meant by what I have said after taking possession of the property everyone thinks it is fine and intact without expecting that after about a year it is already in need of repair and maintenance and I believe that by then the maintenance fee will greatly increase and become something like a bottomless pool
接着，我想討論修正案編號29，有關削減"總目92―律政司"中的分目000，涉及運作開支約1,244萬元；以及就修正案編號30，削減總目92中的分目234，涉及訴訟費用5億3,800萬元。
Next I wish to discuss amendment 29 which resolved that Head 92―Department of Justice be reduced in respect of subhead 000 involving operational expenses of roughly 12.44 million; and I also wish to discuss amendment 30 which resolved that head 92 be reduced in respect of subhead 234 involving litigation costs of 538 million
這名涉嫌犯法僭建人士，至今仍然繼續擔任我們的律政司司長，繼續運用她的權力，指示選舉主任"DQ"合法的參選人；而就"一地兩檢"相關法例的會議，她又只出席了兩三次便不再來，轉派律政專員出席。
This person who is a suspected law offender engaging in UBWs now continues to serve as our Secretary for Justice and continues to use her power to instruct Returning Officers to disqualify legitimate candidates in elections . As for the meeting addressing the laws relating to the co - location arrangement she quit coming after attending the meeting two or three times and sent the Law Officer to attend the meeting instead
很多人說她罪不至死，但也認為她是有罪的，那麼削減她1年薪酬，要她當1年義工，也算是小懲大誡吧？
Many people say her crime is not serious enough for her to receive a death penalty but they also consider that she is guilty . In that case would it not be a small punishment and a big admonishment if we cut her remuneration and ask her to serve as a volunteer for one year?
如果政府已有決定，便請盡早告訴公眾，因為這亦涉及公眾利益，究竟會否控告律政司司長呢？
If the Government already has a decision please tell the public as soon as possible because this also involves public interest . Will the Government sue the Secretary for Justice?
她現時說自己置身事外，不會參與關於她僭建的起訴決定，我便希望屋宇署及律政司的相關人員盡快提交進展報告，釋除市民疑慮。
At present she says she will stay out of the matter and will not participate in the decision on whether or not prosecution relating to her UBWs should proceed and I hope that the staff in the Buildings Department and the Department of Justice can submit a progress report as soon as possible so as to ease public concerns
我提醒委員，為了預留足夠時間給官員及15位修正案動議人再次發言，我會於今天大約6時30分開始請他們發言。
Let me remind members to allow sufficient time for public officers and the 15 movers of amendments to speak again I will begin at around 6col30 pm today to invite them to speak
預計這個環節的辯論將於明天上午大約11時30分結束。
The debate in this session is expected to come to a close at around 11col30 am tomorrow
辯論結束後，全委會會隨即逐一表決各項修正案，之後第三個環節便開始。
Upon completion of the debate the Committee will immediately vote on the amendments one by one and then the third session will begin
過去我們曾經削減一些紀律部隊整個部門的全年預算開支，周浩鼎議員剛才說，香港是否不需要紀律部隊呢？
We proposed CSAs to deduct the proposed annual expenditures of some disciplined forces . Just now Mr Holden CHOW asked whether we thought that it was unnecessary to have disciplined forces in Hong Kong
我提出編號36的修正案，與涂謹申議員的修正案編號37相近，均是削減香港警務處酬金及特別服務的預算開支。
36 is similar to Amendment No . 37 proposed by Mr James TO . Both seek to reduce the estimated expenditures on rewards and special services of HKPF
如果大家有留意特別財務委員會會議，我們曾追問政府，究竟酬金及特別服務包括甚麼？
If Members have kept track of the special meetings of the Finance Committee they should know that we pursued the Government for the details of these rewards and special services
我在此首先要指出，我今年針對教育局亦提出了1項修正案，削減教育局7,200萬元開支，大約等於本年度有關小三BCA的相關費用。
First I need to point out that I have also proposed an amendment to deduct the estimated expenditure of the Education Bureau by 72 million which is roughly equivalent to the related expenditures of the Basic Competency Assessments BCA this year
除了我之外，還有兩位議員，包括葉建源議員及許智峯議員均提出了修正案。
I aside two Members namely Mr IP Kin - yuen and Mr HUI Chi - fung have also proposed CSAs on this
我今年提出的修正案也嚴守"一目一項"的原則，因為我知道主席已經訂立規矩，即使"一目"提出多項修正案，也不是各項修正案也能夠提出，反而令到最想提出的修正案被整合。
I have strictly adhered to the principle of one amendment to one subhead in proposing my amendments this year since I know that the President has laid down this rule . Even if you propose multiple amendments to a subhead you may not manage to have all the amendments admitted and may even end up having the amendment you want most to be admitted consolidated into other amendments
所以，我最後亦不能就教育局提出這項修正案。
That is why I did not manage to propose this amendment in the end
其實主席已經寬鬆處理，批准區諾軒議員、鄭松泰議員及許智峯議員就教育局這個總目提出修正案。
In fact the President has been very loose in handling the amendment . He allowed Mr AU Nok - hin Dr CHENG Chung - tai and Mr HUI Chi - fung to move amendments to the head on the Education Bureau
但是，我就教育局被整合後的修正案發言時，應該可以就削減BCA的預算開支發 言。
But when I speak on the consolidated amendments concerning the Education Bureau I should be allowed to speak specifically on deducting the estimated expenditures on BCA right?
BCA的文件指出，"中文、英文與數學科全港性系統評估各自設立一個專責小組，每個小組由現職教師、課程發展處課程發展主任與香港考試及評核局科目主任組成。
According to a document on BCA For each of the three subjects one working group consisting of serving teachers staff from the Hong Kong Examination Assessment Authority and the CDI was established
各科的專責小組制訂評估藍圖，以確保題目涵蓋基本能力。
Each group drew up test blueprints covering all assessable Basic Competencies
"所以，教育局職系的主事官員正是課程發展處課程發展主任。
So the principal official in the Education Bureau is the Curriculum Development Officers of CDI
如果能夠削減課程發展處的開支，亦可以表達我們不支持復考BCA。
If we can deduct the estimated expenditure of CDI we can express our opposition against resuming BCA
政府本來說今年的BCA不是強制全校學生應考而是抽樣應考，但事實是否這樣呢？
The Government initially said that there would not be any compulsory BCA assessment for all students this year and students would be chosen by means of random selection to sit for BCA . But did things turn out as the Government said?
這是第一點，我不詳細講述了。
This is my first point and I will not go into the details
第二點，是官校牽頭全級應考，偏離了BCA本身的設計原意。
Second government schools have taken the lead to opt compulsory BCA assessment for the whole grade of students . Their decision departs from the original intent of BCA
我們調查得來的結果是，九成多官校均全級應考。
Our survey result shows that over 90 % of government schools have opted for compulsory BCA assessment
我在事務委員會也曾指出，究竟是否教育局高層向官校施加壓力，令到官校牽頭以全級應考來支持BCA復考？
I raised this issue in a panel meeting asking whether senior officials in the Education Bureau had put pressure on government schools forcing these schools to support the resumption of BCA by choosing compulsory BCA assessment
在這種情況下，我們永遠也不知道，究竟當局現時設計的所謂抽樣應考BCA，是否真的能夠解決操練的問題，因為現時變相同樣是全級學生均要考試，也越來越多學校上報要全級學生考試。
In a situation like this we will never know whether the so - called random selection of students for attending BCA under their present design can truly address the issue of excessive drilling . It is because all students still need to sit for BCA and more and more schools have informed the authorities of their decision to let all their students in the grade to sit for BCA
第三，有關的操作亦漠視了家長和學生的意見，因為是由學校決定是否全級學生應考BCA。
Third the operation of the test has disregarded the views of parents and students since schools are the one to decide whether all students in the grade will sit for BCA
當局指這是校本政策，但學校的決定是否包括家長、學生和教師？
The authorities claim that this is a school - oriented policy . But have schools included parents students and teachers in their decision - making process?
教師會否敢於反對，說不需要全級學生應考，只要依照教育局的政策便可？
Do teachers have the courage to voice their opposition saying that instead of letting all the students sit for BCA schools should just follow the policy proposed by the Education Bureau?
這也是政府無法答覆我的問題。
This is also a question the Government has failed to answer me
基於這些原因，我嘗試提出這項修正案，旨在削減教育局7,200萬元預算開支。
Due to these reasons I tried to propose this amendment to deduct the estimated expenditures of the Education Bureau by 72 million
說回區諾軒議員削減課程發展處的全年預算開支的修正案。
I now return to the amendment proposed by Mr AU Nok - hin to deduct the annual estimated expenditures of CDI
針對課程發展處近來遭受的批評，究竟是市民無風起浪，還是政府無風起浪呢？
Regarding the recent criticisms against CDI are they groundless accusations made by the public or the Government?
為了討好政府我不知道是想討好特區政府，還是北京政府課程發展處作出很多令人費解的舉措，例如有傳媒揭發教育局在評審出版社的歷史教科書時，指書中寫"香港位於中國南方"是措辭不當，"中國收回香港"又是措辭不當，"香港主權移交中國內地"同樣是措辭不當。再者，"1949年中共建國，大量內地人移居香港"這描述則不是措辭不當，而是指兩者沒有直接因果關係，容易導致誤解。
CDI made many puzzling gestures . For instance it has been revealed by the media that the Education Bureau in reviewing history textbooks submitted by publishers comments that the extract of Hong Kong lies to the south of China is inappropriate and The transfer of Hong Kongs sovereignty to Mainland China is also inappropriate; as for the extract of In 1949 the communist China was established and a large number of mainlanders relocated to Hong Kong is not inappropriate but is vulnerable to misinterpretation as there is no direct causal relationship between the incidents
就上述的例子，無論是香港政府的官方文件，還是北京政府曾經發出的文件，我們也多次看到"收回香港"的字眼。
Regarding the above examples we often come across the sentence China recovered Hong Kong in formal papers of the SAR Government or documents issued by the Beijing Government
很多市民其實亦說，即使我過去說"主權移交"，大家也只是說我不太愛國而已，但我個人認為這是客觀描述，但今天說"主權移交"也是錯誤的，應該說"恢復行使主權"。
When I used the phrase handover of sovereignty in the past many people would only say that I was a little unpatriotic . To me it is an objective description . But today I am wrong if I say handover of sovereignty and I should say to resume the exercise of sovereignty
所以，削減課程發展處的開支，當然是對這名官員，或她領導的小組所作出的做法，表達強烈不滿。
All these subjects are under the portfolio of this public officer . So deducting the expenditure of CDI is a way to express our strong dissatisfaction of this public officer and the section under her leadership
雖然我們不時會聽到審計署或申訴專員公署調查滲水辦，並批評部門處理滲水個案時間過長，但我反對上述修正案。
Yes we can hear from time to time that investigation into the performance of the Joint Office is conducted by the Audit Commission and the Office of the Ombudsman and that they both criticize it for taking too a long a time to handle water seepage complaints . But I still oppose the amendments
我曾經處理無數類似個案，就是市民委託公證行調查，最終花了錢卻也處理不到滲水問題，反而滲水辦現時勉強也算是個方法。
I have handled many such complaints and I observe that in many cases people are simply unable to solve the water seepage problem after hiring an adjuster with their own money to carry out investigation . In contrast the Joint Office can still be of some help anyhow
我不知道提出上述修正案的議員，家中有否曾受滲水困擾，或有否處理過市民的類似投訴。
I do not know whether the proponents of these amendments have ever experienced any water seepage in their homes or whether they have ever handled any such complaints from the public
若有，相信他們絕對不會要求削減這個部門的開支，即使削減了部門開支，亦不代表事情便可以一了百了，立即獲得解決。
I think that if they have they will surely not seek to cut the expenditure of the Joint Office . The point is that even if the expenditure of this body is really cut the problem will still be there and cannot be resolved overnight
主席，當然，滲水辦的工作確實也做得不太好。
Chairman to be fair it must be admitted that the performance of the Joint Office is not quite so satisfactory
按照審計署2016年10月的報告，市民舉報滲水個案數目由2007年的17,400宗，上升至2015年近30,000宗，增長達七成。
Third the technology used by the Joint Office to investigate water seepage cases is very backward . As shown by the Director of Audits Report in October 2016 the number of water seepage complaints from the public rose from 17 400 in 2007 to 30 000 in 2015 with an increase rate of 70 %
我們反而應考慮整合滲水辦的工作，最低限度應考慮會否增加管理層人員，重新檢討處理滲水過程，增撥資源和添置設備，以及改善調查速度等，而非捨本逐末地削減預算。
Rather than putting the cart before the horse and cutting the expenditure of the Joint Office we should consider the idea of reorganizing its work . We should at least consider whether management personnel should be deployed to it for the purpose reviewing the procedures of handling water seepage cases . We should also consider the provision of additional resources and equipment and also the speeding up of investigation
接下來，我想討論涉及食物及衞生局的修正案，其中一項是修正案編號43，要求削減食物及衞生局5,300萬元，相等於2018-2019年度食物及衞生局個人薪酬的全年薪金預算開支；另一項修正案編號44，則要求削減食物及衞生局局長1個月薪酬開支。
43 seeks to deduct 530 million in relation to the Food and Health Bureau Food Branch . The deduction is roughly equivalent to the estimated annual personal emoluments for the Food Branch in 2018 - 2019 . The other amendment Amendment No
可能大家也留意到，近年的鼠患指數和蚊患指數越來越高，而6月、7月夏季將至，市民很擔心蚊患和登革熱，希望可以盡快處理衞生黑點。
Members may be aware that the rodent infestation rates and ovitrap indexes have been on the rise in recent years . With the approach of the rainy season in June and July the public are very concerned about the outbreak of mosquito infection and dengue fever hoping that the hygiene black spots can be cleaned as soon as possible
所以，我絕對反對這項修正案。
That is why I am totally against this amendment
此外，我亦不贊成削減食物及衞生局局長1個月薪酬預算開支。
Besides I am against the deduction of one months salary for the Secretary for Food and Health
現時食物及衞生局局長也在席，局長的工作範圍很大，包括食物安全、環境衞生和公共醫療等。
The Secretary is present here now . The Secretary has a very range of duties covering food safety environmental hygiene and public health care
近日財務委員會亦即將討論關於5間醫院工程項目的撥款問題，包括京士柏醫院及廣華醫院亦正等待重建，很多市民也等着多間醫院盡快做好設施，我們亦期望聖母醫院可以加開急症室服務。
Very soon the Finance Committee will commence discussions on the funding for the works projects of five hospitals . These include the redevelopment of Kings Park Hospital and the Kwong Wah Hospital and many people are waiting for the expeditious improvements to a number of hospitals . We also hope that Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital can be equipped with an accident and emergency department
所以，局長職位很重要，由她負責與醫院管理局商討，市民便可以盡快得到需要的醫療服務。
So the post is very important because she must negotiate with the Hospital Authority to ensure that the public can receive the health care services they need
主席，局長一定會明白，經濟條件好的市民可能會光顧私家醫院和專科，但對於沒有充裕資源的市民，他們可能便要輪候公立醫院服務。
Chairman the Secretary will surely understand that people with sufficient means may use the specialist services of private hospitals . But those who are not so well - off may need to wait for public hospital services
如果錢不是問題，我們應否加快培訓醫護人手，或由公私營計劃協作，從而把工作做得更快呢？
If money is not a problem should we speed up health care manpower training or implement public - private partnership so as to quicken the delivery of services?
主席，最後，我想再談談財政司司長提出的兩項修正案。
Chairman finally I wish to discuss two of the amendments proposed by the Financial Secretary
民建聯提出要求恆常增加長者醫療券至3,000元，但司長在坐擁1,500億元的盈餘下，卻只節約地增加一次性的1,000元。
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong asks him to increase the amount of Elderly Healthcare Vouchers permanently to 3,000 . But even when the Government possesses a surplus of 150 billion he is still so tight - fisted and has just introduced a one - off increase of 1,000
醫療券對他們而言，十分重要。
These vouchers are very important to them
希望司長在修正案審議完畢後，盡快推行有關政策。
I hope that the committee stage the Financial Secretary can take forward the measure as early as possible
代理主席，剛才不好意思，按錯"發言按鈕"，我尚未準備好，所以麻煩了同事要多走一趟。
Deputy Chairman I am sorry that I pressed the Request - to - speak button by mistake just now . I was not yet ready to speak at that time so I am sorry for the trouble
我今次的發言想談談編號39的修正案，陳志全議員希望削減總目135中，關於創新及科技局局長的全年薪酬預算開支。
I am going to speaking on Amendment No . 39 moved by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen which seeks to deduct the estimated expenditure on the annual emoluments for the Secretary for Innovation and Technology under head 135
舉例來說，昨天推出的科技人才入境計劃，大家也知道，特首於10月發表的施政報告提到要發展人才，我環顧全球各地，包括大灣區，以至亞洲其他地方和歐美，都在爭奪科技人才，說沒有足夠人才。
The Technology Talent Admission Scheme rolled out yesterday is one example . As we all know the policy address announced by the Chief Executive in October puts forward the idea of nurturing talents . I can see that places all over the world including the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area and other places in Asia Europe and America are all competing for talents
如果香港創新科技的餅越造越大，我相信人才一定越來越多。
If the innovation and technology industry in Hong Kong can become a bigger and bigger pie all the time I believe we will surely have more and more talents . The innovation and technology talents in Hong Kong are either dismissed or have had to switch to other industries
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，謝謝。
Deputy Chairman I so submit . Thank you
主席，最近有一個熱門議題，當然是廣東話是否大家的母語。
Chairman the latest hot topic is certainly whether Cantonese is our mother tongue
我認為廣東話是否我們的母語這議題，的確是無風起浪。
I am of the view that the question as to whether Cantonese is our mother tongue is indeed an attempt to stir up trouble
我們在立法會內以廣東話發言，而特首出席行政長官答問會時亦以廣東話對答，不曾有人指不可以普通話甚或英語發言。
We speak in Cantonese within the Legislative Council while the Chief Executive also answers questions in Cantonese when attending the Chief Executives Question and Answer Session . No one has ever said that we cannot use Putonghua or even English to speak
不過，大家書寫時其實主要跟隨普通話的語法。
Yet when we write we in fact mainly follow the Mandarin grammar
如果以廣東話書寫，考試便會不合格，甚至惹起很多笑話。
If we write in Cantonese we will fail in examinations and even bring about many jokes
我們是廣東人，除香港人外，如果廣東省的市民被問及要取締廣東話，我想他們真的會起哄。
We are Cantonese people . Apart from Hong Kong people if people in Guangdong Province are asked as to whether Cantonese shall be replaced I think it will really cause a stir among them
廣東人對廣東話當然有深厚感情，而且大部分廣東話表達法也是來自古語，例如按揭及散銀等。
Cantonese people certainly have profound feelings for Cantonese and most of the ways of expression in Cantonese also derive from ancient language such as mortgage coins and so on
我以前從事翻譯時也特別翻閱《辭海》，發現很多表達法其實很可愛，亦有深厚的歷史淵源。
When engaging in translation in the past I particularly dipped into Cihai 《辭海》 and discovered that many ways of expression are indeed very likeable with deep historical origin
儘管如此，我們無須把廣東話和普通話置於對立狀態，事實上亦不曾有人表示要取締廣東話作為我們發言時的一個語言選擇。
Nonetheless there is no need to place Cantonese and Putonghua in a confronting position . As a matter of fact no one has ever said that Cantonese as a choice of language when we speak shall be replaced
代理主席，今次的發言我想針對財政司司長編號62及63的修正案，即所謂"補漏拾遺"的4,000元計劃。
Deputy Chairman my speech will focus on Amendments Nos . 62 and 63 moved by the Financial Secretary which are related to the remedial measure or the payment of 4,000 under the Caring and Sharing Scheme the Scheme
代理主席，在進入細節前，我認為我們要看看一個大圖像，該大圖像便是為何在這65項......
Deputy Chairman before going into the details I think we have to see the overall picture and that overall picture is why in these 65 amendments
市民未必清楚背景，我在此花少許時間解釋，這其實和《基本法》第七十四條有關的。
Members of the public may not be clear about the background . I will spend some time here to give an explanation and this is in fact related to Article 74 of the Basic Law
代理主席，如果立法會議員可以提出增加預算的修正案，會出現甚麼情況呢？
Deputy Chairman if Legislative Council Members can move amendments asking to increase the estimates what will happen?
想象一下，這是立法會在多重扭曲下才會走到這個地步。
We can imagine that it was in a convoluted way that the Legislative Council could reach this stage
我參閱財政司司長交給我們的修正案文件，在文件中，我特別對申請資格有興趣。
I have read the paper submitted to us by the Financial Secretary on the amendments concerned . In the paper I am particularly interested in the eligibility criteria
文件中提到，任何人士如符合資格便可申請該4,000元津貼。
The paper says that a person who meets the eligibility criteria may apply for receiving 4,000 under the Scheme
代理主席，其實透過政府的"補漏拾遺"方案，究竟甚麼人可以受惠，取得該4,000元？
Deputy Chairman through the remedial measures under the Governments Scheme who actually can be benefited and receive the 4,000?
我猜這是出於官僚的心態。
I guess this is out of bureaucracy
因為這些官僚系統已經建立，所以他覺得這些安排很方便，而在官僚系統中並沒有包括的人，他便看不到。
Given that this bureaucratic system is already established he finds that these arrangements are very convenient . But he fails to see those who are not included under this bureaucratic system
所以，第一，反映出這種官僚制度如何蒙蔽政府雙眼，令他們看不見很多市民。
Therefore first this reflects how this bureaucratic system has blindfolded the Government such that it fails to see a lot of people
第二，綜合過去10年政府"派糖"措施的數字便會發現，如果政府有盈餘時，有些人應該較其他人分享得更多眾所周知，我說的正是獲得退稅和退差餉的人士。
Second from the figures concerning the sweeteners given out by the Government over the last decade we notice that when the Government has surplus certain people would enjoy more benefits than other people . As we all know what I am referring to are the people who can enjoy rebates in salaries tax and rates
當我們連同外匯儲備有4萬億元時，政府更需要明白，政府要透過每年的盈餘或儲備進行更徹底的財富再分配。
When there is 4,000 billion including foreign currency reserves in the coffers it is more important for the Government to understand the need to conduct wealth redistribution more thoroughly with our annual surplus and reserves
