我想問政府有否提供相關協助和清晰指引，例如現金資助、鼓勵生產商提供合規格的尾板或提供合格的生產商名單？檢驗貨車尾板是否合格的問題，究竟應該由勞工處、機電工程署，還是運輸署負責呢？
May I ask the Government whether it has provided relevant assistance and clear guidance such as cash allowance to encourage manufacturers to supply compliant tail lifts or provide a list of qualified manufacturers; and of LD Electrical and Mechanical Services Department or Transport Department which department should take charge of the testing of tail lift tests for their compliance?
所以，我們認為應該給予業界足夠時間，以及在技術上作出支援，提供相關資訊，以達致《指引》的要求。
We thus hold that we should give the industry sufficient time and provide them with technical support and relevant information so as to help them comply with the requirements in GN
大家需要一起加強溝通、了解和操作，特別是在支援方面，我們邀請了香港生產力促進局提供技術支援及其他協助等，希望能夠在這方面協助業界達標。
We need to enhance communication and mutual understanding and enhance the operation of tail lift . In particular we have invited the Hong Kong Productivity Council to provide technical support and other assistance in a bid to help the industry to comply with the requirements
主席，局長在主體答覆第二部分提到，有關商會、工會及個別立法會議員向勞工處反映由於香港裝有尾板的貨車數目不少，希望勞工處能夠給予足夠時間，讓業界能有序地安裝這些裝置。
President it is mentioned in part 2 of the Secretarys main reply that in view of the large number of goods vehicles fitted with tail lifts in Hong Kong concerned trade associations workers unions and some Legislative Council Members appealed to LD to allow sufficient time for the industry to install these devices in an orderly manner
有沒有其他的原因？
Are there other reasons?
代理主席，我代表香港經濟民生聯盟發言，反對由梁耀忠議員提出的"爭取手語成為香港官方語言"議案。
Deputy President I rise to speak on behalf of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA to oppose Mr LEUNG Yiu - chungs motion entitled Striving to make sign language an official language of Hong Kong
在開始前，讓我們先回顧歷史。
Before I begin let us first look back at history
在1948年，聯合國大會通過《世界人權宣言》，確認所有人天生擁有不可剝削的權利。
In 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights confirming that people are born with rights that cannot be taken away from them
到了2006年， 聯合國大會通過《殘疾人權利公約》，進一步保護殘疾人士平等享有人權和基本自由。
In 2006 the General Assembly of the United Nations passed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which further affirms that persons with disabilities can equally enjoy human rights and basic freedom
隨着中國於2008年加入《公約》成為締約國，《公約》同時適用於香港。
With China joining the Convention in 2008 as a signatory the Convention also applies to Hong Kong
經民聯認同聽障人士擁有自由表達意見的權利，我們十分支持在社會上推廣手語文化。
BPA agrees that people with hearing impairment have the right to freely express their views . We strongly support the promotion of sign language culture in society
所以，我們贊成原議案中提出的一些措施，包括"加強在中、小學推廣手語"，以及"為所有政府部門及公營機構員工提供手語培訓"。
Therefore we support certain measures proposed in the original motion including stepping up the promotion of sign language in primary and secondary schools and providing sign language training for staff of all government departments and public organizations
至於"規定電視新聞報導須加入手語傳譯"，經民聯知悉，通訊事務管理局正就這議題進行研究，預計在今年11月完成。
As regards requiring the provision of sign language interpretation for television news broadcasts BPA is aware that the Communications Authority is looking into the matter and expects to complete the study this November
只要解決資源和技術性等問題，我們同意盡快進行。
So long as issues involving resources and technology are resolved we agree that it should be expeditiously introduced
不過，經民聯對於原議案中落實手語為官方語言的建議則有所保留。
However BPA has reservation about the proposal in the original motion regarding making sign language an official language
在現階段，在香港將手語定為官方語言，最低限度存在三大問題。
At the present stage there are at least three major problems in making sign language an official language in Hong Kong
第一，手語在香港並不普及；第二，手語的表達方式並不統一；及第三，涉及修改法例。
First sign language is not popular in Hong Kong; second there lacks a common form of sign language; and third legislative changes are involved
讓我先談談第一點。
Let me first discuss the first point
政府統計處《第62號專題報告書》顯示，於2013年，在155,000名聽障人士中，只有3,900人懂得使用手語，佔聽障人士的2.5%。
The Special Topics Report No . 62 of the Census and Statistics Department indicates that in 2013 out of 155 000 people with hearing impairment only 3 900 of them knew sign language accounting for 2.5 % of the group
另一方面，2016年的最新一份《香港手語翻譯員名單》中，全港只有54名手語翻譯員，相比155,000人，手語的翻譯員與聽障人士比例高達1：3,000。
On the other hand the latest List of Sign Language Interpreters released in 2016 shows that there are only 54 sign language interpreters in Hong Kong . Compared with 155 000 people with hearing impairment the ratio between them stands at 1col3 000
如果政府現時將手語定為官方語言，即意味所有公共部門的服務必須能夠提供手語作為溝通語言之一。
If the Government is to make sign language an official language now it implies that all services rendered by the public sector have to provide sign language as a means of communication
可是，手語翻譯員嚴重缺乏，實際上沒有足夠人手提供服務。
Nonetheless given the serious shortage of sign language interpreters there is actually insufficient manpower to provide the service
第二，手語的表達方式並不統一。
Second there is a lack of a common form of sign language
一如不同地方有不同的方言，不同的社會群組亦同樣有不同的手語表達方法。
Just as different places have different dialects different social groups also have different forms of sign language
在香港，政府近年資助學校和團體建立手語詞彙庫，例如資助路德會啟聾學校開發教學手語新詞彙計劃，以及資助香港中文大學的手語及聾人研究中心研發香港手語瀏覽器。
In Hong Kong the Government has in recent years subsidized schools and organizations in building up a sign language glossary . For example the Government has granted a subsidy to the Lutheran School For The Deaf to develop a set of vocabularies sign language in teaching . The Centre for Sign Linguistics and Deaf Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong has received a subsidy from the Government to develop the Hong Kong Sign Language Browser
然而，這兩個計劃下的詞彙範疇均有限。
However the scope of the glossary under these two projects is limited
換言之，在香港演化出一套通用手語前，現階段將手語定為官方語言，實在是言之過早。
In other words before Hong Kong comes up with a common form of sign language it is premature at this stage to make sign language an official language
最後，將手語定為官方語言涉及複雜的法律問題。
Finally making sign language an official language involves complicated legal implications
早於1974年，香港通過了《法定語文條例》，訂明中文和英文是香港的法定語文。
Hong Kong passed the Official Languages Ordinance in 1974 stipulating Chinese and English as Hong Kongs statutory languages
《基本法》第九條亦訂明："香港特別行政區的行政機關、立法機關和司法機關，除使用中文外，還可使用英文，英文也是正式語文。
Article 9 of the Basic Law also states that In addition to the Chinese language English may also be used as an official language by the executive authorities legislature and judiciary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
"語言"和"語文"存在本質上的區別。
There is an essential distinction between spoken language and written language
如果硬性設立所謂法定語言，同時納入既不是說話，亦不是文字的手語，並非可取的做法。
It is not desirable for us to rigidly include sign language which is neither a spoken nor a written language as a statutory language
經民聯認同聽障人士學習和使用手語的權利，因此贊成透過學校教育、公眾推廣及培訓手語翻譯員，提升手語的普及程度，亦同意政府加大力度整理手語詞彙。
BPA acknowledges that people with hearing impairment have the right to learn and use sign language . Therefore we support enhancing the popularity of sign language through education in school public promotion and the training of sign language interpreters . We also agree that the Government should make greater efforts to consolidate the sign language glossary
在手語普及程度低、手語未能統一，以及涉及法律問題的情況下，我認為現時並不適合將手語定為官方語言。
Given the low popularity of sign language an absence of a common form of sign language and the legal implications I do not consider that it is now appropriate to make sign language an official language
基於上述解釋，經民聯不支持原議案。
Based on what I have explained above BPA does not support the original motion
張華峰議員剛才說我爭取手語成為法定語文，但我其實只是想手語成為官方語言，兩者是絕對不相同的。
Mr Christopher CHEUNG said earlier that I strive to make sign language a statutory language . However I simply want to make sign language an official language . The two are definitely different
主席，今天是2017年首次立法會會議，我在此謹祝香港在新一年政通人和，百業興旺。
President today is the first Legislative Council meeting in 2017 so may I take this opportunity to wish Hong Kong efficiency in the Government harmony in society and prosperity in all sectors in the new year
新年自然離不開新的願望，我也留意到不少人在談論新年願望時，同時提及對下任特首的期望。
An inextricable subject of the new year is to talk about the new year resolution . I notice many people have expressed their expectations of the next Chief Executive in their new year resolution
郭議員今天提出這項議案，確實是十分合時。
It is indeed an opportune time that Mr KWOK proposed this motion today
現任特首梁振英先生，早前以家庭原因，宣布不再尋求連任。
The incumbent Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying announced earlier that he would not run for another term due to family reasons
我在此謹表示尊重他的意願，也多謝他4年以來為管治香港付出的辛勞和努力，亦祝願他在6月底卸任之後，與家人多些團聚、共聚天倫。
Here I wish to express my respect for his decision and I thank him for his hard work and efforts made over the past four years on governing Hong Kong . May I also wish him to have more happy and close time with his family after he leaves office in end of June
但我也想指出，雖然梁振英先生任內致力改善多項社會和經濟問題，如致力增加房屋供應及遏止樓價的飆升，以及縮窄貧富懸殊，但樓價租金依然高企，在化解社會矛盾、社會財富重新合理分配、促進勞資關係及社會和諧方面，仍然有改善空間。
However I also wish to point out that despite the efforts he has made on improving a number of social and economic issues since he took office such as increasing housing supply suppressing the soaring property prices and narrowing the poverty gap property prices and rents remain high and he still needs to work harder on resolving social conflicts redistributing social wealth rationally and promoting labour relations and social harmony
既然梁特首宣布不尋求連任，大家自然對新人有一番期望，期望新人上場後會為香港帶來一些新的轉變，而社會矛盾、撕裂和分化的問題，尤其備受關注。
Given that the Chief Executive has announced his wish not to run for another term people naturally put their expectations on the next Chief Executive hoping that the newcomer will bring new changes to Hong Kong particularly on the issues of social conflicts dissension and division that they are very concerned about
同時，議會內有人公然在宣誓時，借機散播自決和"港獨"的主張，結果要勞動人大釋法擺平亂局。
Moreover some people in this Council blatantly abused the oath - taking to spread the ideas of self - determination and Hong Kong independence which triggered a Basic Law interpretation by the Standing Committee of National Peoples Congress to settle the matter
可以說，在政治上，去年絕對是波濤起伏的一年。
Politically speaking last year was definitely not a smooth year
在維護國家主權方面，絕對沒有妥協餘地。
There is no room for any compromise when it comes to defending the countrys sovereignty
我衷心希望新任的行政長官，能夠有辦法努力凝聚社會共識、化解分歧，讓香港這艘船可以擺脫政制發展的困擾，重新啟航，不會在風浪中迷失方向。
I earnestly hope that the new Chief Executive can find a way to build social consensus and dissolve dissension so that Hong Kong can break away from the disturbing constitutional development and start moving forward again without losing its course in the tempest
因為這些年來，我們社會內耗實在十分嚴重，發展可謂近乎停滯不前，但我們周邊的城市或地區，卻迎頭而上，甚至有超越我們的趨勢。
Due to serious internal attrition in society over the past years development in Hong Kong has almost come to a halt while our neighbouring cities and regions have caught up with if not surpassed our edges
就以最近公布的全球城市競爭力排行榜為例，本港的整體競爭力在全球排名第九，在中國358個城市中的綜合競爭力，更連續4年屈 居第二，落後於上海。
Take the global city competitiveness ranking announced recently as an example . Hong Kong ranked ninth globally on its overall competitiveness and it ranked second after Shanghai on integrated competitiveness for four consecutive years among the 358 cities in China
與我們一河之隔的深圳，這些年來如何發展成為高科技城市，更是教人羨慕不已。
Shenzhen situated just a river apart indeed makes us green with envy for its leap into a high - tech city in the past years
去年公布的世界經濟論壇競爭力排行榜，香港排名由前年的第七位跌至第九位，原因就是創新能力不足，阻礙了我們的發展。
One of the reasons that made Hong Kong slip from seventh to ninth place in the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum announced last year is our lack of innovative power which has stifled our development
香港的經濟一向是外向型，預計特朗普上場，以及歐洲政局的發展，均可能會為本地的市場帶來一番波動，市場可能會繼去年之後，出現更多的"黑天鵝"，故我們必須步步為營，以免為波動的市況添加一些危機元素。
Given Hong Kongs externally - oriented economy it is expected that Donald TRUMP at the helm and the political development in the Eurozone will possibly send their tremors to our financial market and Hong Kong is likely to see more black swans in the market following its experience last year . We need to cautiously make every step forward to avoid introducing more risk factors to our undulating market
我們經民聯的同事都深信只有發展經濟才能帶動民生，也非常期望下任特首必須在這方面多下工夫，為香港的經濟尋找新的出路，製造新的經濟亮點，着力改善民生。
We the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA firmly believe that economic development can bring about improvement on peoples livelihood . We earnestly hope that the next Chief Executive will spend more efforts in this regard so as to find a new way out for the economy of Hong Kong create new bright spots for our economy and vigorously improve peoples livelihood
但我認為在勞資關係方面，儘管雙方有時會有不同意見，但我不希望大家只看到當中的矛盾，甚或說哪一方是強、哪一方是弱，而忽略了協調的重要性。因為勞資雙方根本是同坐一條船，不是互相對立的。
Regarding labour relations despite the different views of the two sides at times I hope that we will not only focus on the conflicts or saying that which is the stronger or weaker side and forget the importance of making compromises because the employers and employees are actually in the same boat and they are not antagonistic to each other
如果經濟好，僱主很多時都願意與僱員一同分享成果，只是近年來，勞工成本不斷上漲，生意大不如前，如要承擔新的勞工開支，恐怕僱主隨時都會"斷擔挑"。
When the economy blooms employers are often willing to share the profits with their employees . Since businesses are not as good as before due to escalating labour costs in recent years employers may go bankrupt anytime if they have to shoulder any new labour costs
我和經民聯都期待下任特首在這方面多做工夫，改善勞資關係，減少對立和矛盾。
BPA and I hope that the next Chief Executive will work harder in this regard so as to improve labour relations and reduce antagonism and conflicts
主席，雖然坊間現時對下任特首人選有很多揣測，黑馬白馬、冷馬熱馬，好不熱鬧，甚至有說另一位司長明天也會辭職參選。
President there are many speculations in the community about the next Chief Executive . People are enthusiastically saying which Chief Executive candidate is getting more or less popular . Some even say that the Chief Secretary will resign tomorrow to join the race
但我認為，不管下任特首是誰，必須取得中央的信任，面對港人，謹守"一國兩制"原則和《基本法》，競選期間，更須以堅實的政綱，取得1,200名選委、香港市民的支持和中央的信任。
In my opinion however no matter who will become the next Chief Executive he or she must win the trust of the Central Government and be accountable to Hong Kong people . He or she must also stand by the principle of one country two systems and the Basic Law . He or she must also present a solid election platform in their election campaign to win the votes of the 1 200 members of the Election Committee and to secure the support of Hong Kong people and the trust of the Central Government
面對香港社會當前的種種困難，我認為下任特首是任重道遠，工作一點也不輕鬆，要有幹勁，要有解決困難的決心和信心，更要拿出解決難題的辦法和心思，更要專心致志，令香港繼續發光，在香港回歸20周年的大日子，為香港帶來一番新的景象。
In face of the numerous difficulties in Hong Kong now I believe the next Chief Executive will have heavy responsibilities and a long road ahead . His or her job is by no means easy . One needs to have enthusiasm determination and faith in overcoming difficulties as well as the ability to show his or her resourcefulness and wits in dissolving them
主席，我剛才用手語向你提出規程問題，詢問議員能否用手語發言。
President I raised a point of order in sign language just now asking you whether Members are permitted to deliver their speeches in sign language
試想想，如果有一位聾健人士當選為代議士，我們的《議事規則》、法例和我們一向處理議會工作的做法，能否容許該位聾健人士充分根據《基本法》賦予他的職能，發揮他作為代議士的職能呢？
Suppose a deaf person is elected a representative of the people can our Rules of Procedure legislation and conventional practices of handling the affairs of the legislature permit the deaf person to fully perform his functions under the Basic Law and as a representative of the people?
當然，主席，如果你剛才回答我"你可以用手語發言"，我所學的手語當然遠遠不能應付今天的發言。
Of course President even if you gave me a positive answer just now I do not think I can possibly cope with my speech today with the sign language I have learnt
我十分感謝今天在立法會的手語即時傳譯同事教授我很簡短的幾個字。
I am deeply grateful to the simultaneous sign language interpreters of the Legislative Council today for teaching me these simple words in sign language
我覺得立法會有一件事做得非常好，肯定較政府做得好，便是我們所有會議都提供即時的手語翻譯。
I think the Legislative Council has done a very good job in one respect and in this particular respect it has definitely done better than the Government . I am talking about the provision of simultaneous sign language interpretation in all Council Meetings
立法會要面向全港市民，不是部分市民，不是大多數市民，而是全港市民。
The Legislative Council must face all Hong Kong people not just a portion or even a majority of them
沒錯，聾健人士肯定是市民當中的少數，但是，他們絕對不能被忽視，亦因為這個原因，我們在立法會必須向每位市民問責，這亦是一個文明社會應有之義。
It must face all Hong Kong people . Yes deaf people are definitely in the minority but they must never be ignored . Precisely for this reason we in the Legislative Council must hold ourselves accountable to every member of the public and this is the intrinsic duty of every civilized society
但是，在手語政策方面，政府遠遠落後於許多其他地區和國家。
But the Governments sign language policies have lagged far behind those of many other places and countries
歐盟遠在1988年已經通過議案，令手語成為法定語言，並呼籲所有歐盟國家各自通過相關的本地法例，令手語成為法定語言。
As far back as 1988 the European Union EU already passed a motion on making sign language a statutory language . All EU member states were asked to enact their own national legislation on making sign language a statutory language
但是，香港政府在這方面的政策與很多其他政策一樣，遠遠落後於其他國家和地區。
But the policies of the Hong Kong Government like its many other policies have lagged far behind those of other countries and places
今天梁耀忠議員的議案提供了一個很好的機會，令全港市民、尤其是政府反省一下，究竟我們在這方面的政策和法例何以如此落後。
Mr LEUNG Yiu - chungs motion provides a very good opportunity for all in Hong Kong especially the Government to reconsider why our policies and legislation in this respect are so backward
以手語教育為例，最好的措施是在2007年曾經推行手語雙語共融教育計劃，讓學校可以參加，讓手語老師、聾人老師及言語治療師一起合作，為聾健學生創造可以共同學習的環境。
In the case of sign language education for example the most notable measure is just the Sign Bilingualism and Co - enrolment in Deaf Education Programme rolled out in 2007 for the participation of schools . Under the programme sign - bilingual instructors deaf instructors and speech therapists can work together to provide a common learning environment for deaf students and students with normal hearing
但很可惜，這個計劃在2014年已經停止。
But it is a pity that the programme had to stop in 2014
不過，還好，即使香港賽馬會不願意再投放資金，還有另一個基金願意承接這個計劃。
Fortunately even though the Hong Kong Jockey Club HKJC did not want to inject any more money another fund is willing to take over the programme
但試想想，如果沒有這個基金，計劃便不能持續下去。
But the point here is that without the fund concerned it will be impossible to continue with the programme
其實，聾健學生和其他有特殊教育需要的學生一樣，他們需要特殊教育法來保障他們的基本權利，令他們的學習環境與其他主流學生沒有分別。
Actually like other students with special education needs deaf students likewise need the enactment of special education legislation to protect their fundamental rights so that they can learn in an environment no different from that of mainstream students
大家亦知道，我和張超雄議員在上屆立法會提出一項為特 殊教育學生草擬的私人條例草案。
As Members know in the previous Legislative Council Dr Fernando CHEUNG and I put forward a Members Bill on special education needs
我們足足花了3年時間就這項條例草案諮詢有特殊教育需要的學生、家長和前線的教師和社工，聆聽他們的各種訴求，從而看到香港法例的各種不妥善之處，看到香港政府在這方面的政策是如何零碎和不達最基本要求。
When preparing this bill we spent three whole years on consulting students with special education needs parents and frontline teachers and social workers listening to their aspirations . In the process we saw all the inadequacies of the laws in Hong Kong and we also saw the fragmentary policies of the Hong Kong Government in this area and their failure to meet even the most basic needs
在台灣也有同樣的例子。
This is also the case in Taiwan
所以，政府在這方面的立場、政策和法例，對於整個社會的討論都是非常重要。
Hence the stance policies and legislation of the Government in this respect will have very significant impact on the relevant discussions in the whole society
代理主席，在上一屆行政長官選舉過後，勞工界對當選的行政長官充滿期盼，希望他能履行選舉政綱裏許下的諾言，切實地為勞工、為社會的弱勢社群，帶來一些制度上的改變，保障基層市民的權益和提升生活的質素。
Deputy President right after the last Chief Executive Election the labour sector was highly expectant hoping that the elected Chief Executive would honour the undertakings in his election manifesto and take concrete steps to bring about institutional changes for workers and the disadvantaged in society so as to protect the rights and interests of the grassroots and upgrade their quality of living
但轉眼間，行政長官5年任期即將過去，這些在選舉中許下的承諾，仍留在紙上談兵的階段，未有落實方案，更遑論增進勞工權益。
Time flies and the five - year term of the incumbent Chief Executive is already coming to an end . But all the undertakings made in the election are still castles in the air . There have been no concrete schemes of implementation let alone any improvements to workers rights and interests
特首在推動勞工權益中有着重要的角色，其中取消強制性公積金對沖的聲音在社會上醞釀已久，我也多次在議會上爭取取消對沖。
The Chief Executive has a very important role to perform in the promotion of workers rights and interests . In this regard voices asking for the abolition of the offsetting arrangement under the Mandatory Provident Fund System have been heard for a long time and I myself have repeatedly fought for its abolition in this Council
當然，我不得不承認這問題的複雜性非一時三刻可以解決，但訴求提出已久，不同團體、界別也提出其方案。
I must of course admit that the complexity of the issue cannot possibly be tackled overnight . But the request was already made a very long time ago and many different organizations and sectors have put forward their proposals
無奈的是，直到今屆特首任期屆滿在即，政府仍然未落實推行，取消強積金對沖機制一事一直可望而不可及。
It is a pity that even when the term of the incumbent Chief Executive is already coming to an end the Government has still failed to take any concrete actions and the abolition of the offsetting arrangement has remained an elusive goal
作為勞工界的代表，我衷心期望下任行政長官可早日落實具體方案，平衡勞資雙方的利益，扭轉勞工被剝削的局面。
As a representative of the labour sector I sincerely hope that the next Chief Executive can expeditiously work out a concrete proposal that can balance the respective interests of workers and employers and do away with this exploitation of workers
此外，有關標準工時的立法。
Another issue is the enactment of legislation on standard working hours
這問題一直困擾一眾基層，政府方面卻沒有為提升勞工的生活水平，採取積極的態度推行立法，其推搪拖延的態度又一再令勞工基層失望。
This problem has been frustrating the grassroots but the Government has also failed to drive the enactment of legislation with a positive attitude . Its evasiveness and procrastination has once again disappointed the working - class people
如今百物騰貴，樓價和租金遠遠超出市民可負擔的水平，下任行政長官務必要關注勞工的工作生活平衡，推動標準工時的立法，更要改善政府拖延問題的陋習。
Nowadays the cost of living is very high with property prices and rents far exceeding peoples affordability . The next Chief Executive must pay heed to workers work - life balance drive the enactment of legislation on standard working hours and more importantly quit its bad habit of procrastination
當中不得不提及的，是全民退休保障的落實。
One more issue that cannot be omitted is the implementation of universal retirement protection
人口老化的情況為社會增添不少壓力，推行退休保障可說是刻不容緩。
As population ageing has greatly added to the pressure on society the implementation of universal retirement protection cannot afford any further delay
多年來社會各界也凝聚了共識，意向十分明確。
After all these years the various social sectors have already forged a consensus and come up with a very clear stand
但經過無數次諮詢和討論，也未得出具體方案，反以不斷的"假諮詢、假希望"作拖延。
However after several rounds of consultation and discussion no concrete scheme has been put forward and fake consultation and false hopes are instead used to delay the matter
下屆行政長官有責任改變令人沮喪的局面。
The next Chief Executive has the duty to change this deplorable situation
我期望下屆特首能果斷決策，不要冷待民意，將已有共識的議題一拖再拖。
I hope that the next Chief Executive can act decisively instead of cold - shouldering public opinions and putting up any further delay regarding this issue on which there is already a consensus
除此之外，勞工界仍積存不少未解之結，例如職業安全、非公務員合約僱員的人手編制等，也不容忽視。
Besides there are still many untied knots in the labour sector . Issues such as occupational safety and the manpower establishment of non - civil service contract staff cannot be ignored
此等訴求十分明確，然而政府作出的改善措施卻又未如人意。
The relevant aspirations are clear enough but the improvement measures taken by the Government are not quite so satisfactory
在此，我期望下屆特首積極檢討如今的勞工問題，顯示出解決問題的決心。
Here I hope that the next Chief Executive can actively examine the existing labour issues and show the determination to resolve the problems
代理主席，新一屆行政長官選舉即將展開。
Deputy President the next Chief Executive Election is fast approaching
現時，全球社會都積極求變，改善貧富懸殊，爭取更公平合理的生活環境。
These days societies all over the world are actively seeking changes and alleviation of the wealth gap striving to build a fairer and more reasonable living environment
