主席，首先，我申報我入職的公司有代售內地高鐵票，將來亦可能會售賣由香港發出的高鐵票。
President first of all I declare that I am an employee of a company which sells Mainland high - speed railway tickets and may sell tickets of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL issued in Hong Kong in the future
主席，我發言支持《廣深港高鐵條例草案》。
President I speak in support of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill
廣深港高鐵香港段自2004年開始規劃，直至2018年才可投入使用，進度緩慢。
Considering that the Hong Kong Section of XRL started its planning in 2004 and can only be commissioned in 2018 the progress is slow
其間由行政會議於2008年批准工程，至2010年及2016年兩次立法會撥款引發不少風波後，現時才可進入最後階段，就關於"一地兩檢"的《條例草案》進行審議工作，整個過程可謂一波三折。
The Executive Council approved the project in 2008 and disputes arose in 2010 and 2016 when the Government applied to the Legislative Council for funding approval . At present the development has reached its final stage . The process concerning the scrutiny of the Bill can be described as full of twists and turns
反觀與我們同期規劃的廣深港高鐵廣深段已於2011年通車，香港段足足落後了7年多。
By comparison the Guangzhou - Shenzhen Section of XRL which was planned at the same time was already commissioned in 2011 . Hong Kong has lagged behind for more than seven years
反對派以超支為政治本錢，不放過任何一次抹黑、攻擊及曲解"一國兩制"的機會，使不少人受到誤導，質疑高鐵成 效，甚至反對高鐵通車。
Opposition Members use costs overrun as their political capital to grasp every chance to smear attack and distort the principle of one country two systems . Thus some people who have been misled query the benefits of XRL and even oppose its commissioning
他們除了認為《條例草案》違反《基本法》外，亦認為高鐵投資巨大，只靠車票收益根本無法收回成本，因而把高鐵視為"大白象"工程。
Opposition Members think that the Bill contravenes the Basic Law and consider XRL a white elephant project given that the huge investment involved can hardly be recovered by revenue from tickets alone
這種短視和缺乏客觀分析的觀點，並不能真正反映高鐵的實際價值。
Such kind of view being short - sighted and not based on objective analysis cannot truly reflect the real value of XRL
大家應該知道，隨着內地經濟和交通網絡高速發展，以及周邊地區經濟條件的改善，區內交往越來越頻繁，出外旅遊、交流和商業等不同形式的活動亦越來越多。
As we all know with rapid development of the Mainland economy and its transport network and coupled with an improved economic conditions of the regions nearby interactions within a region and various activities including outbound tours exchanges and commercial activities etc
香港一定不能錯失機會，政府必須做好規劃，增加投資交通基建項目，完善交通配套，以免落後於形勢，以便搭上內地發展的高速列車。
have become more frequent on the Mainland . Hong Kong should definitely not miss the opportunities . The Government must make good planning increase its investment in transport infrastructure projects and improve transport ancillary services so that Hong Kong will not lag behind the prevailing situation and will be able to board the high - speed train of Mainland development
所以，香港高鐵項目應視為重要的交通配套，為維持香港在區內的競爭優勢作出貢獻，能否收回成本則不應該視為成敗標準。
Thus the Hong Kong Section of XRL should be regarded as an important transport ancillary service which will contribute to maintaining Hong Kongs competitive edge in the region . The factor of cost recovery should not be taken as a criterion to judge the success of XRL
主席，今年1月至4月香港的入境旅客有2,100萬人次，但當中非過夜旅客佔55%，增長達12.7%，遠高於過夜旅客增長的6.8%，主要原因是我們過於依賴廣東省的客源。
President there were 21 million inbound tourists from January to April this year but 55 % of them were same - day visitors representing an increase rate of 12.7 % far greater than that of overnight visitors at 6.8 % . The main reason for this is that we have been too reliant on tourists from the Guangdong Province
其實，廣東省周邊省份的人口並不少，例如福建、湖南、江西和廣西的總人口便超過兩億人。
In fact the population in the provinces near Guangdong Province is sizable . The total population of Fujian Hunan Jiangxi and Guangxi for example is more than 200 million
近年這些地區的經濟發展不差，國民生產總值佔全國13%，只是由於直航不便，例如香港每天只有1班客機分別來往湖南和廣西的主要城市，每星期只有3班客機前往江西，導致這些省市的居民想來香港也不方便，減低了他們前來香港的意欲。
In recent years the economic development of these areas is good and their combined Gross National Product represents 13 % of that of the whole country . Since non - stop air service between these places and Hong Kong is inconvenient eg . there is only one direct flight per day between Hong Kong and the main cities of Hunan and Guangxi and three flights per week to Jiangxi even if residents of these provinces and cities wish to visit Hong Kong they would be discouraged
日後當高鐵開通後，一定可以吸引這群潛在過夜旅客來港消費，高鐵亦有助海外旅客將香港視作中轉地，增加一程多站產品的吸引力。
After XRL is commissioned in the future this group of potential overnight visitors will surely be attracted to visit Hong Kong for consumption . XRL will also enable overseas visitors to use Hong Kong as a transit point thus increasing the attractiveness of multi - destination tourism products
長遠而言，廣深港高鐵無疑有利提升香港在亞太地區的交通樞紐地位。
In the long term XRL will undoubtedly help in promoting Hong Kongs status as a transportation hub in the Asia - Pacific region
此外，香港的潮籍及福建人超過200萬，不少人早期已移居香港，現時年紀老邁，行動不便，他們不敢乘坐長途巴士或費用高昂的飛機，所以減少回鄉甚至不願回鄉探親。
Besides there are more than 2 million Hong Kong people whose home towns are in Chiu Chow or Fujian . Many of them have settled in Hong Kong for a long time . As they are now getting old and their mobility is impaired they dare not take long - distance bus rides and are unwilling to travel by plane due to the high expenses thus they return to their home towns less often or they even refuse to return
香港高鐵開通後，肯定可以帶動這群長者及其後輩回鄉的意欲，有助兩地鄉情和親情交流。
The commissioning of the Hong Kong Section of XRL will surely encourage this group of elderly people and their younger family members to visit their home towns thus promoting kinship and exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland
我是潮州人，所以我知道現時有很多長者也很期待高鐵盡快開通，可以由香港直接乘車前往潮汕。
I come from Chiu Chow and I know that many elderly people are looking forward to the commissioning of XRL so that they can travel directly to the Chiu Chow - Swatow region by train
主席，未來內地高鐵發展將會由四縱四橫發展至八縱八橫的網絡，覆蓋面將由現時的2萬公里擴展至超過3萬公里。
President the trunk routes of the Mainland high - speed rail network will be expanded from four vertical and four horizontal to eight vertical eight horizontal and the length covered will be extended from the current 20 000 km to more than 30 000 km in the future
廣深港高鐵香港段的路程雖然只有26公里，但一經接入全國高鐵的大動脈，便等於打通了內地甚至海外龐大的交通網絡，方便不同需要的旅客，尤其是年輕人將會有更多旅遊的選擇及發展未來事業的機會。
Although the Hong Kong Section of XRL will only be 26 km long once it is linked to the main artery of the national high - speed rail network it will be connected to the entire transportation network of the Mainland or even those of overseas countries . This will bring convenience to visitors with different needs particularly it will offer young people with more travel options and career opportunities
為了讓高鐵能夠便利市民，發揮最大的效益，實行"一地兩檢"是最理想的方案。
To enable XRL to bring convenience to the people and produce the best possible results implementing the co - location arrangement will be the best option
多份民間調查顯示，有超過一半的市民支持高鐵"一地兩檢"方案，支持率一次比一次高。
Many opinion polls indicate that more than half of the people support the option of the co - location arrangement and the support rate is on the increase
我有信心隨着廣深港高鐵投入使用，市民享受到高鐵的便利，將會有更多市民明白高鐵存在的價值，就好像當年香港赤鱲角機場投入使用初期，曾引發不少爭議，但在20年後的今天，沒有人會再質疑香港國際機場的存在價值。
I am confident that after the commissioning of XRL more people will experience the convenience it brings and hence appreciate XRLs value of existence . As in the case of the Hong Kong International Airport in Chek Lap Kok there were great controversies when the airport was first commissioned but today after 20 years no one will doubt its value of existence any more
主席，目前出現對《條例草案》的爭議，源於反對派想利用部分市民對內地政府的不信任，不斷質疑和提出一些似是而非的問題，製造恐慌。
President the existing disputes about the Bill have arisen because opposition Members have exploited peoples lack of trust in the Mainland Government to create panic by raising doubts and asking specious questions
當中爭議之一是在西九站進行"一地兩檢"沒有先例，質疑是"割地兩檢"。
One of their arguments is that implementing the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station is unprecedented and they query if the arrangement is actually a cession based co - location arrangement
其實"一地兩檢"早已經不是新鮮事，往來英國、比利時與法國的"歐洲之星"列車早已實行"一地兩檢"多年，兩國之間也能夠達成合作協議。
In fact the practice of co - location arrangement is nothing new . Eurostar a railway connecting Britain Belgium and France has implemented the co - location arrangement for many years and bi - lateral cooperation agreements were reached among the countries concerned
香港是祖國的一部分，更不應該存在所謂"割地"問題。
Since Hong Kong is part of China the problem of the so - called cession of land simply should not exist
只要在《基本法》的框架及香港的法律之下設立合作機制，我不覺得有甚麼問題。
As long as a cooperation mechanism is established under the framework of the Basic Law and the laws of Hong Kong I do not see any problem with it at all
深圳灣口岸"一地兩檢"的成功實施，就是最好的例證。
The successful implementation of the Shenzhen Bay Port provides the best supporting evidence
為免兩地人員跨境執法，保證"一地兩檢"有效進行，我們有責任認真審議《條例草案》，我不希望反對派設法阻礙通過《條例草案》。
In order to avoid cross - boundary law enforcement by officers of the two sides Members are duty - bound to seriously scrutinize the Bill and I do not wish to see opposition Members resorting to various means to obstruct the passage of the Bill
我們可以看到解放軍駐港部隊在香港多年，嚴格遵守《基本法》及香港法例，從沒有看到他們打擾香港市民，相比回歸之前的駐港英軍，駐港部隊肯定比他們文明得多。
As we can see members of the Peoples Liberation Army have stationed in Hong Kong for many years and have strictly complied with the Basic Law and the laws of Hong Kong without causing any harassment to Hong Kong people . Compared with the British Forces stationed in Hong Kong before the reunification members of the Peoples Liberation Army are surely much more civilized
我相信未來在香港內地口岸區執法的人員一定會依法執行公務，不會違反雙方訂立的協議及香港的法例。
I believe that in the future law enforcement officers at the Mainland Port Area will surely perform their official duties according to the law and will not breach the bi - lateral agreement or the laws of Hong Kong
第二方面的爭議是大家認為口岸設計有漏洞，我覺得更是無稽之談。
The second area of dispute is the claim concerning the design loopholes of the port areas . I think that is ridiculous
任何口岸，包括保安嚴密的香港國際機場，為了保障消防安全及方便維修保養人員出入，一定有特別通道。
In any port area including the Hong Kong International Airport where security is tight special passageways will certainly be provided for the purposes of fire safety and convenient access of repair and maintenance personnel
當然，使用的時候要符合既定程序，這是非常普通的常識。
Surely certain established procedures have to be followed when using these passageways . That is a common sense understanding
有反對派議員要求提供相關圖則，是罔顧高鐵口岸安全，萬一圖則被恐怖分子或不法分子取得，後果不堪設想。
Some opposition Members have requested the provision of relevant plans . They paid no heed to the security of XRL port areas . In case the plans fall into the hands of terrorists or law breakers the consequences will be too ghastly to contemplate
第三方面的爭議是，有人提出可否不在"香港檢"？
The third dispute concerns the suggestion of not completing immigration and custom clearance procedures in Hong Kong
我覺得"內地檢"或"車上檢"均是不切實際的想法。
I think the other proposed options of clearance on the Mainland or on - board clearance are infeasible
香港高鐵站造價800多億元，主要的設施就是要配合"一地兩檢"。
The construction cost of the Hong Kong Section of XRL is more than 80 billion with major facilities provided to facilitate the implementation of the co - location arrangement
如果不在香港檢測，花這麼多時間和開支就會失去意義，只會令乘車的旅客及市民更不便。
If the immigration and custom clearance procedures will not be completed in Hong Kong the construction time spent and cost incurred will be meaningless . It will also bring inconvenience to passengers and residents taking the trains
主席，在《條例草案》的審議過程中，我們看到反對派為了抹黑"一地兩檢"，製造很多無稽的言論和沒有根據的假設，目的是向大眾散布恐慌情緒。
President during the scrutiny of the Bill we have noticed that opposition Members have trumped up many ridiculous arguments and baseless assumptions to smear the co - location arrangement . They intend to spread fear among the public
我認為《條例草案》的相關細節已經在法案委員會得到充分討論，我希望反對派議員不要再為反對而反對，亦不要再"拉布"，應該以香港市民的福祉為依歸，務實地提出意見，政府亦應該就憲政問題及條文內容做好充分的解釋工作，以釋除公眾疑慮。
As the relevant details of the Bill have already been adequately discussed in the Bills Committee I hope opposition Members will not oppose the Bill for the sake of opposition and I hope they will not filibuster . They should focus on promoting the welfare of Hong Kong people and express their views pragmatically . The Government should also give full explanation on the constitutional issues and the legislative provisions so as to allay public concerns
主席，其實剛才胡志偉議員說得很對，你只需讓餘下的11位議員完成發言。
President Mr WU Chi - wai was very right . You just have to let the remaining 11 Members speak . I do not know when todays meeting will end
我不知道今天的會議何時完結，如果你打算在晚上10時宣布休會，其實就有足夠時間讓大家發言，然後在下星期三的立法會會議才進行表決，這個安排很合理，為何你不考慮這個安 排，而一定要用限制議員發言的方式來處理這個議案？
If you intend to adjourn the meeting at 10col00 pm there is actually sufficient time for everyone to speak . Then we can proceed to vote at the Council meeting next Wednesday . This arrangement is most reasonable
如果連發言的機會也沒有，這個立法會如何能讓香港市民信服？
How can the Legislative Council convince Hong Kong people if Members are not given the chance to speak?
主席，我在立法會經歷過3任主席：范徐麗泰、曾鈺成及你，當中你的表現、見識和做法是最差的。
President I have experienced three Legislative Council Presidents namely Rita FAN Jasper TSANG and you . Among the three your performance knowledge and practice are the worst
你不要以為有保皇黨、建制派包庇你，你便可以為所欲為。
Please do not assume that you may do as you please behind the shield of the pro - Government Members and the pro - establishment camp
主席，你不是這樣吧。
President you are not acting in this way are you?
主席，我在今天發言時已經說過，我是新任議員，你是新任主席，你不懂如何當主席可以向曾鈺成請教。
President as I have said in my speech today I am a new Member and you are a new President . If you do not know how to be a President you may consult Jasper TSANG
根據《議事規則》第543條，"立法會即須進行二讀該法案的程序，議員可就該議案辯論該法案的整體優劣及原則。
According to Rule 543 of the Rules of Procedure the Council shall proceed to the second reading of a bill and on this motion a debate may arise covering the general merits and principles of the bill
主席梁君彥議員在今天中午1時表示二讀辯論會在晚上7時30分左右完結，說已經展示他寬鬆處理。
The President Mr Andrew LEUNG said at 1col00 pm today that the Second Reading debate shall come to a close at around 7col30 pm tonight and that this shows leniency in his handling approach
假如每位議員發言用盡15分鐘，7.5小時只不過意味有26位議員可以發言，但我留意到在高峰期有35名議員輪候發言。
If each Member uses up all the 15 minutes of speaking time 7.5 hours means that only 26 Members can speak . But I noticed that during the peak period 35 Members were queuing for their turn to speak
主席在4時30分也提醒議員要精簡發言，我認為這種說法有點本末倒置。
At 4col30 pm the President also reminded Members to speak concisely which I think is somewhat like putting the cart before the horse
其實，立法會最初並沒有限制議員的發言時間......
As a matter of fact in the beginning the Legislative Council did not set limits for Members speaking time
我認為最重要的是讓大家有公平的機會發言。
Therefore the current requirement that we can speak up to 15 minutes is already meant to ensure that we speak concisely . I think it is most important for Members to be given a fair opportunity of exposition
我留意到，距離7時30分，現在還有大約100分鐘的時間，但輪候發言的同事還有16位，如果讓所有議員發言，其實只需多花大約兩個小時，為甚麼主席不能夠讓他們發言呢？
I noticed that there are still about 100 minutes before 7col30 pm but 16 colleagues are now waiting for their turn to speak . To allow all Members a chance to speak actually it requires only about an additional two hours . Why can the President not allow them to speak?
我認為如要貫徹公平的精神，我希望這是我就辯論安排發言的最後一句我希望主席能夠讓所有議員在這環節中發言。
I think in order to uphold the spirit of fairness I hope that―this is the last thing that I am going to say about the debate arrangements―I hope that the President can allow all Members to speak in this session
代理主席，我發言反對《廣深港高鐵條例草案》的二讀，亦反對有關"一地兩檢"安排的整項法案。
Deputy President I rise to speak against the Second Reading of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill and I also oppose the entire Bill in relation to the co - location arrangement
《基本法》第十八條第二款訂明，"全國性法律除列於本法附件三者外，不在香港特別行政區實施"，這項規定其實非常清晰。
Article 182 of the Basic Law stipulates that National laws shall not be applied in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region except for those listed in Annex III to this Law . This provision is in fact very clear
我相信大家也看到，這做法有非常大的危險，並且是違憲的。
I believe Members can see that this will pose a great danger and contravene the Constitution
大家在今天的辯論中也經常引述香港大律師公會的意見。
In this debate today Members have often cited the opinions of the Hong Kong Bar Association HKBA
我相信大律師公會的意見是需要重視的，而實際上很多人也會看到，大律師公會的意見並不是他們自己發明的，很多人亦有同感。
I believe the views of HKBA should be given weight and in fact as many people have noticed the opinions given by HKBA are not invented by it since many people held the same views
我們看看大律師公會的意見，他們在去年12月17日發表聲明，指出如果只要把香港某地方劃出來行使內地法律，然後宣稱並非影響全香港人便可行的話，這是有違對《基本法》第十八條的正常解讀。
Let us refer to the opinions of HKBA . On 17 December last year they issued a statement pointing out that if a certain place in Hong Kong is designated for application of Mainland laws it is considered viable so long as it is claimed that not all the people of Hong Kong will be affected that would go against any plain reading of Article 18 of the Basic Law
我相信這點大家也很容易明白，如果有天將維多利亞公園或九龍公園的任何一個地方視為"處於香港以外並處於內地以內"，這樣便可實施內地的法律，我相信大家是難以接受的。
I think Members can understand this point easily . If one day a part of the Victoria Park or the Kowloon Park is regarded as an area lying outside Hong Kong but lying within the Mainland where Mainland laws apply I believe Members would find it hardly acceptable
當然，大家會說，今次西九龍口岸區的做法是特殊做法，但如果從法律來說，這種特殊做法便可以一而再，再而三地出現，因為這做法會成為先例，這樣可能會逐步收窄市民受到《基本法》保障的空間，同時令香港本身的司法管轄區域越縮越小。
Of course Members may say that this arrangement to be implemented in the port area at WKS is an extraordinary measure . But from the legal point of view this extraordinary measure can be adopted over and over again because a precedent has been set in which case the scope of protection provided to the public by the Basic Law may be gradually narrowed and the area of Hong Kongs jurisdiction will be ever shrinking
如果是這樣的話，不單普通市民會受到影響，《基本法》第十九條第二款所訂香港各級法院"對香港特別行政區所有的案件均有審判權"這項規定亦會受到影響。
If such being the case not only the general public will be affected but the provision in Article 192 of the Basic Law which stipulates that the various levels of court in Hong Kong shall have jurisdiction over all cases in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will also be affected
在不久的將來，香港將會出現一個本來屬於香港境內、位處西九龍地底，但香港的司法機關也無法行使裁判權、施以人身保護令的地方。
In the not too distant future in Hong Kong there will be a place located underground in West Kowloon which is originally within the boundary of Hong Kong but the Judiciary of Hong Kong cannot exercise jurisdiction there; nor can it issue a writ of habeas corpus for anyone there
這情況亦嚴重侵害本地的司法獨立和尊嚴。
This will be a serious infringement on the independence and dignity of the Judiciary of Hong Kong
代理主席，政府經常提到的理據是，全國人民代表大會常務委員會已經作出決定，因此"一地兩檢"沒有違憲的問題。
Deputy President an argument often mentioned by the Government is that the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC has made a Decision and therefore the co - location arrangement does not contravene the Constitution
但是，如果我們仔細地看這說法，便會看到存在很大的問題。
But if we examine this argument in detail we will see a big problem with it
首先，人大常委會既然是中國憲制中的設置，它亦受到中國憲法和中國的法律所約束，人大常委會並非憑空得到和可以任意行使其權力。
First since NPCSC is an organ in the constitutional system of China it is bound by the Constitution and the laws of China . NPCSC does not exercise its powers out of a vacuum; nor can it exercise its powers arbitrarily
代理主席，在2001年的莊豐源案中，時任原訟庭法官司徒敬裁定，中國大陸的法律解釋方法，只有透過《基本法》第一百五十八條提供的機制，才會在香港有法律約束力。
Deputy President in the case of CHONG Fung - yuen in 2001 the Judge of the Court of First Instance at the time Justice Frank STOCK ruled that the method of legal interpretation of Mainland China would become legally binding in Hong Kong only through the mechanism provided in Article 158 of the Basic Law
換言之，人大常委會的其他決定對香港並沒有法律效力，本地法院有權覆檢人大常委會所作的決定。
In other words other decisions made by NPCSC do not have legal effect in Hong Kong and the local courts have the power to review the decisions made by NPCSC
所以，整個法理基礎其實十分脆弱。
Therefore the entire legal basis is in fact very fragile
代理主席，自從政府公布"一地兩檢"的方案以來，民間有很多人曾十分認真地研究政府的方案。
Deputy President after the announcement of the co - location proposal by the Government many members of the community have seriously studied the Governments proposal
有人提出一些替代方案，例如福田"一地兩檢"、"兩地兩檢"、車上檢、北上預檢，還有我覺得相當值得研究的西九CIQ模式，即內地人員只負責海關、入境及檢疫，這其實也是英法兩國間的"一地兩檢"模式。
Some people have put forward alternative proposals such as co - location clearance in Futian separate - location clearance on - board clearance pre - clearance for northbound travellers and CIQ clearance in West Kowloon which I think is highly worthy of consideration . Under this mode of clearance the Mainland personnel are only responsible for customs immigration and quarantine clearance and this is actually how co - location clearance is carried out between the United Kingdom and France
有建制派議員今天也提及，CIQ模式或英法模式等於"一地兩檢"，其實這只是等於CIQ模式而已，不能與我們現時討論的"一地兩檢"相提並論。
Some Members of the pro - establishment camp have said today that CIQ clearance or the model adopted by the United Kingdom and France is tantamount to the co - location arrangement proposed by the Government . Actually it is only CIQ clearance and cannot be mentioned in the same breath with the co - location arrangement under discussion now
我覺得這些方案均值得探討，但是，我們沒有足夠的機會進行探討。
I think these proposals are all worthy of exploration . However we do not have adequate opportunities to explore them
實際上，在8年前，即高鐵撥款提交立法會前，更曾經討論車站應否設在錦上路，而我覺得錦上路方案亦非常值得研究。
In fact eight years ago before the tabling of the funding proposal for XRL to the Legislative Council there had been discussion on whether the terminus should be located at Kam Sheung Road and I think this proposal was very much worthy of study
不過，很可惜，現時已是明日黃花的方案。
But most regrettably this proposal has become obsolete now
由於政府一直不肯公開辯論和公開諮詢，堅持盡快提交立法會和盡快通過，所以，很多其他的可能性和方案都無法提出。
As the Government has all along refused to conduct any open debate and public consultation insisting on the introduction of the Bill to the Legislative Council and its expeditious passage it was impossible for many other possibilities and options to be put forward
去年10月，香港教育專業人員協會曾經就"一地兩檢"進行內部調查，訪問了835位會員，當中有不少人支持"一地兩檢"，即有近四成 受訪者表示支持，與社會上很多諮詢的結果接近，即有接近一半人支持。
In October last year the Hong Kong Professional Teachers Union conducted an internal survey on the co - location arrangement and interviewed 835 members . A lot of our members supported the co - location arrangement with almost 40 % of the interviewees expressing support for it . This is also close to many poll results in the community which showed support from nearly 50 % of the respondents
但與此同時，六成五的人認為政府需要進行公眾諮詢，大多數人認為諮詢是重要的，同時亦認為如果不進行諮詢，將危害大家對"一國兩制"的信心。
But at the same time 65 % of the interviewees considered it necessary for the Government to conduct public consultation . A majority of the people considered it important to conduct consultation and at the same time they considered that if no consultation was conducted public confidence in one country two systems would be undermined
我發覺有一個很特別的現象，便是一些大家認為要進行諮詢的重大問題，很多時候在諮詢完結便沒了下文，例如全民退休保障、最高工時、取消強積金對沖我希望未來會就此課題取得進展。
But then I noticed a very special phenomenon and that is for major issues on which we all agreed that consultation should be conducted they often came to a dead end upon completion of consultation such as universal retirement protection maximum working hours abolition of the offsetting mechanism of the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF System―I hope that progress will be made in this respect in future
但是，對於一些有巨大爭議、可能損害市民權益的事情，政府卻堅持不進行公眾諮詢，例如高鐵、東北發展等。
However for issues involving huge controversies that might jeopardize the rights and interests of the public such as XRL development of the North East New Territories and so on the Government insisted on not conducting public consultation
這次我們討論的"一地兩檢"安排，我覺得應該要有很清楚和完整的公眾諮詢；如果不進行公眾諮詢，將帶來很大的社會撕裂、紛爭，而最重要的是會帶來不信任，我希望政府能夠臨崖勒馬。
With regard to the co - location arrangement under discussion I think there should be clear comprehensive public consultation . Without public consultation serious social divisions and disputes will be brought forth and most importantly distrust will be resulted and I hope the Government can rein in at the brink of the precipice
為何我反對《條例草案》恢復二讀呢？
Why do I oppose the resumed Second Reading of the Bill?
我們其實在討論法律、民生和經濟都要為政治服務的議題。
Actually we are discussing the issue of the law peoples livelihood and the economy having to serve politics
局長或前任局長在興建廣深港高鐵期間，已兩度向財務委員會申請撥款。
During the construction of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL the Secretary or his predecessor twice applied for funding from the Finance Committee
