現時，在行政長官選舉、選舉委員會界別分組選舉、立法會選舉及區議會選舉中，候選人或候選人名單已可免付郵資寄出信件，但每封信件重量不得超逾50克，尺寸不得大於175毫米乘以245毫米，亦不得小於90毫米乘以140毫米。
At present a letter may be sent free of postage by a candidate or a list of candidates in the Chief Executive Election Committee subsector Legislative Council and DC elections but each letter must not exceed 50 grams in weight and must not be larger than 175 mm x 245 mm and not smaller than 90 mm x 140 mm in size
然而，自2016年1月1日起，香港郵政更改了郵費結構，並在參考萬國郵政聯盟的信件投寄手冊後規定，只有尺寸不超逾165毫米乘以245毫米，以及厚度不超逾5毫米的信件才會被視為"小型信件"，可以支付較低郵費。
However since 1 January 2016 Hongkong Post has introduced changes to its postage structure with reference to the Universal Postal Union Letter Post Manual such that only letters not exceeding 165 mm x 245 mm in size and 5 mm in thickness would be treated as small letters and subject to the lower postage fee
因此，當局建議跟隨香港郵政的新規定，在未來選舉中就免付郵資投寄的信件的尺寸訂定客觀準則，與香港郵政"小型信件"的定義看齊。
The authorities thus propose to follow Hongkong Posts new requirement and establish an objective yardstick on the size of postage - free letters in the future elections for the requirement on size of postage - free letters to be aligned with the size limit of small letters according to Hongkong Posts definition
自由黨認為這是合理的做法，可以避免出現混淆。
The Liberal Party considers this amendment reasonable to avoid confusion
主席，總結上述各點，為了進一步完善選舉安排，以確保選舉在公開、公平和誠實的情況下進行，自由黨會表決支持。
President to conclude the Liberal Party will vote in favour of the Bill as it can further enhance the electoral arrangements to ensure the elections will be conducted in an open fair and honest manner
不可以投票是否等於不可以參選呢？
Should we stop a person who is ineligible to vote to run for election?
所以，他應該想清楚再攻擊功能界別。
He should think twice before launching another attack on FCs
主席，我今天真的大開眼界，副局長有否看過提交的法案被這麼多保皇黨和建制派議員批評？
President it is really an eye - opener today . Has the Under Secretary ever seen that a Bill could draw criticisms from so many pro - Government and pro - establishment Members?
美國總統特朗普簽署了《香港人權與民主法案》。
United States President Donald TRUMP signed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act
罪魁禍首是這個制度，他們何曾代表民意？
The culprit is this system . When have they ever represented public opinion?
有這麼多議員支持她。
So many Members supported her
傳統功能界別有12名議員是零票當選的。
Twelve FC Members were returned with zero votes
主席，不好意思，我提到你。
President excuse me I mentioned you
全世界也找不到的，除了愛爾蘭上議院少數議席和第二次世界大戰之前的意大利國會。
They cannot be found anywhere except a small number of seats in the Upper House of the Irish legislature and the Italian parliament before the Second World War
如果政府繼續這樣做，便會繼續看到更多的"撞車"事件，車毀人亡。
If the Government continues in this course there will be more car crashes resulting in fatalities
根本整個政府不思進取，《基本法》怎樣寫的呢？
The whole Government has not made any attempt to make progress . What is stipulated in the Basic Law?
現在輸了便"賴地硬"，說選舉法例有問題，連排隊投票都可以批評，有沒有搞錯，有沒有少許常識呢？
They even criticized the arrangement of queuing to cast votes . What is wrong with them? . Do they have any common sense?
香港的選舉已經任由建制、保皇操控，他們用盡所有骯髒不堪的招數，對手沒有這麼多錢買福袋、"蛇齋餅粽"，所以選民唯有用自己 的血肉之軀，一早起床排隊投票，甚至將軍澳有個票站有選民要提早一晚到場扎營，就是怕政府"彈弓手"，早上夠票下午取消票站，全部人也不信任政府，正是因為政府和建制保皇串通，所以才會造成這個情況，有否回去想一想呢？
The elections in Hong Kong are controlled by the pro - establishment pro - Government camps who exhaust all dirty tricks . The opposition did not have so much money to buy giveaways and offer free snake banquets vegan feasts moon cakes and rice dumplings so voters had to use their bodies and get up early in the morning to line up for polling . In a polling station in Tseung Kwan O some voters pitched tents there the night before fearing that the Government would play tricks by cancelling polling stations after securing enough votes in the morning
現在政府要面對全港市民對政府的不信任、對選舉制度的不信任，政府要釜底抽薪。
The Government has to face peoples distrust of it and of the electoral system . It has to take drastic measures to deal with the situation
如果不落實《基本法》訂明的雙普選，政府會 繼續無運行、香港會繼續無運行。
If the dual universal suffrage stipulated in the Basic Law is not implemented the Government will have no luck and so will Hong Kong
建制派、保皇黨說得對，小修小補《條例草案》是沒有意思的，但不是依他們所說，而是要真正取消功能界別，讓全港市民"一人一票"選舉所有立法會議員和特首，還市民一個公道。
The pro - establishment and pro - Government camps were right in that the minor patch - ups in the Bill are meaningless but contrary to their point it should do Hong Kong people justice by abolishing the FCs and letting Hong Kong citizens elect all Legislative Council Members and the Chief Executive on a one person one vote basis
所以，縱使我們支持這項小修小補的《條例草案》，也一定要告訴全香港市民，政府必須提供政改的時間表和路線圖，不要再顧左右而言他，不要再說人大八三一決定，因為這樣做只會殘害香港。
Hence although we support this Bill which proposes only minor patch - ups we have to tell all Hong Kong people that the Government must present a timetable and a roadmap for constitutional reform instead of beating about the bush and using the 31 August Decision of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC as an excuse because it will only hurt Hong Kong
香港去到今天的地步，辦事處被人破壞，如果是公平的制度......
Hong Kong reached the current situation where offices were vandalized if the system is fair
同鄉會的電話、專車接送、飯局等做法司空見慣，今年亦有發生，不過湊合起來仍不夠票數，現在建制派議員"賴地硬"。
Phone calls from clansmen associations shuttle buses and meal gatherings are common practices . The same has happened this year too although the pro - establishment camp did not get enough votes even with all this so now they blame it on something else
政府應站出來，要麼不修訂，要麼便正正式式修改，並非《條例草案》般小修小改，而是讓香港有真正的民主，真正的"一人一票"，取消功能界別。
The Government should come forth and instead of the piecemeal amendments in the Bill it should make real changes in order to let Hong Kong people have true democracy true one person on vote and abolish the FCs . Duel universal suffrage is not a scourge . It was stipulated in the Basic Law before the reunification
雙普選並非洪水猛獸，香港回歸前《基本法》已訂明，政府一次又一次搬龍門，還說人大常委會可繼續搬龍門，不要以為他們不會搬，他們每天也可以搬龍門。
Yet the Government moved the goalposts over and over again . It even said NPCSC could move the goalposts again . Do not think that they will not
如果香港有民主，便不需要對功能界別作小修小改，而是如同全世界進步的城市般堂堂正正地選舉。
Patch - up amendments to FCs are not necessary if there is democracy in Hong Kong . Instead open and aboveboard elections should be held just like in any other advanced cities in the world
不過，這些不重要，都是小事。
But these are unimportant trivial matters
不論"林鄭"、聶德權、習近平，如果政府以為繼續採取這種高壓蒙蔽的手段，香港人便會乖乖聽話，現在事實告訴大家是不會的。
Be it Carrie LAM Patrick NIP or XI Jinping if the Government thinks Hong Kong people will remain obedient under this high - pressure and deceitful approach the facts have told them now that they are wrong
現在10多歲的初中生也知道政府不濟，中央未有真正實行"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"，他們還不醒覺嗎？
Now even teenage junior secondary school students know that the Government is incapable; and the Central Government has not really implemented one country two systems Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy . Have they not woken up yet?
他們應該醒覺，還香港一個正常的選舉制度，香港人已等待了22年，還要等多久？
They should wake up and give Hong Kong a normal electoral system . Hong Kong people have waited for 22 years how much longer do they have to wait?
主席，我發言支持《2019年選舉法例條例草案》。
President I speak in support of the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019 the Bill
我的發言主要分為兩部分，首先我會就法例上作出的修訂事項，說說我的看法，然後就如何確保選舉公平公正，提出意見。
I will divide my following speech into two main parts firstly the proposed amendments in the Bill; and secondly how to ensure a fair and just election
主席，《條例草案》的標題是《2019年選舉法例條例草案》。
President the title of the Bill is Electoral Legislation Bill 2019
正如過去多年的做法，每逢舉行大型選舉前，政府都會提出一些實用的技術性修訂，目的是為了使選舉可以更順利、公平公正地進行。
This Bill is introduced according to the Governments past practice under which practical and technical amendments would be proposed to the electoral legislation before a major election so as to ensure that the election will be held smoothly and fairly
今次的技術性修訂主要有數個部分，第一，是關乎若干功能界別及某一選舉委員會界別分組組成的修訂，包括修改8個功能界別內13個團體的名稱，以反映其名稱的改動；從6個功能界別刪除12個已停止運作的團體；以及為4個功能界別新增10個團體。
In this exercise the technical amendments are divided into several major parts . First of all the amendments relating to the composition of certain functional constituencies FCs and an Election Committee subsector seek to among others update the names of 13 corporates in eight FCs to reflect their name change; remove 12 corporates which have ceased operation from six FCs; and add ten new corporates to four FCs
我認為刪除停止運作團體、更新團體名稱、新增符合資格的團體等，都是與時俱進及有必要的修訂。
The removal of corporates having ceased operation the update on corporate names and the addition of eligible corporates are in my view necessary for the relevant legislation to keep abreast with the times
雖然我不是功能界別的專家，但我相信政府的決定已得到廣泛的共識。
Although I am no expert of FCs I trust that the Governments decision is supported by widespread consensus
《條例草案》建議作出修訂，將行政長官選舉提交選舉申報書的限期由30天延長至60天，而提交相關發票及收據的門檻，由每項選舉開支100元提高至500元。
Under the Bill it is proposed that the deadline for submitting election returns for the Chief Executive election be extended from 30 days to 60 days and the threshold for submission of invoice and receipt of each election expense be raised from 100 to 500
此外，對於在不同選舉中有關選舉申報書輕微錯漏的寬免安排，《條例草案》的修訂亦調高有關限額。
The Bill also proposes to raise the prescribed limits under the de minimis arrangement for handling election returns with minor errors or omissions in different elections
我認為這些都是合適的做法，可以減輕候選人準備選舉申報書時的工作量。
I consider these amendments appropriate as they can alleviate the workload of candidates in preparing election returns
但是，我認為，當局亦應該在今次選舉周期後檢討有關門檻，以便在下個選舉周期繼續作出改善。
Yet in my view the authorities should review the said threshold after the current election cycle to seek further improvement in the next cycle
《條例草案》另一個重點是修訂候選人可免付郵資投寄的每封信件的厚度和尺碼規定。
Refining the requirement on thickness and size of each letter that may be sent free of postage by candidates is another major amendment proposed in the Bill
現時在行政長官選舉、選舉委員會界別分組選舉、立法會選舉及區議會選舉中，候選人或候選人名單可免付郵資寄出信件。
At present a candidate or a list of candidates may send letters free of postage in the Chief Executive Election Committee Subsector Legislative Council and District Council DC elections
《條例草案》建議將免付郵資的信件尺寸標準，由過去不得超過90毫米乘以140毫米，修訂為不超逾165毫米乘以245毫米，與香港郵政就"小型信件"的定義看齊。
Under the Bill the requirement on the size of postage - free letters will be amended from not smaller than 90 mm x 140 mm to not exceeding 165 mm x 245 mm to align with the size limit of small letters according to Hongkong Posts definition
主席，我們原則上支持這項修訂，但參考過去選舉實際操作的情況，候選人遇到的問題並非信件尺寸大小，而是香港郵政對某些要求比較苛刻，這兩天亦有不少同事提過這點。
President we support this amendment in principle . Yet we have learnt from the past election experience that it was the rigidity of Hongkong Post rather than the size of letters that troubled the candidates . Many Honourable colleagues have touched on this point on these two days
現在要求所有信件的開口闊度一律不得超過90毫米，要非常精準。
At present Hongkong Post precisely requires all openings of letters not to be smaller than 90 mm
主席，除了上述修訂外，我想談談選舉的公平公正性。
President after speaking on the aforesaid amendments I would like to turn to discuss the fairness issue of election
從某角度來看，今次修例屬於技術性修訂，對選舉辦法作出一些細微修補或更新，對很多人來說是小修小補。
This legislative amendment exercise if viewed from a particular perspective is technical in nature involving only minor amendments or updates on the election methods . Many people may consider these amendments insignificant
不過，針對最近區議會選舉發生的種種不公平現象，即使今次《條例草案》能獲得通過，我相信廣大市民心中還有一個很大的疑問未得到解答。
However as many unfair practices were revealed in the latest DC Election I do not think the passage of the Bill is sufficient to answer the key question in peoples mind
我覺得這亦是一個很好的課題，探討日後如何讓更多市民覺得選舉公平。
To me this topic is worth discussing in order to improve public perception of election fairness
政府日後怎樣可以做得更好？
How can the Government improve this arrangement in future?
究竟是工作人員劃錯，還是有其他問題？
Was the electors name wrongly crossed out by the polling staff or were there some other problems?
今早已有很多同事提到，現時的投票方法是遠古時代的投票方法。
This morning a number of Honourable colleagues criticized that our current voting method was outdated and backward
第二，關於選舉投訴與呈請，處理選舉投訴的效率真的很低。
My second point is about election complaints and petitions . The authorities are really slow in handling election complaints
我希望就選舉違規情況，當局能更有效率地、公平公正地處理。
The authorities should deal with electoral offences in a more efficient and fairer manner
此外，選舉呈請亦是一個大問題。
Election petitions have also created much hassle
政府有否方法可以優化這套機制？
How will the Government enhance this mechanism?
這名候選人真的是啞口吃黃蓮，完全沒有辯駁的餘地，這莫須有的罪名對他造成極大的傷害。
The candidate was later alleged of handing out favours . Unfortunately he had no evidence to prove his innocence and was forced to remain silent . He was deeply hurt by this trumped - up accusation
所以，我很希望在即將到來的立法會換屆選舉前，政府可以制訂一套較佳的標準。
I do hope that the Government will improve its arrangements before the upcoming Legislative Council General Election
因此，點票安排能否做得更專業一些？
Can vote counting be done in a more professional way?
其實政府應已掌握很多資料。
In fact the Government should already have a lot of information in hand
就此，我想對反對派說，如果大家都願意證明一些中間方案，即所謂循序漸進的方案是可行、優質的，可邁向優質的民主，便沒有人會要求停止。
In this regard I wish to tell the opposition camp that if we are willing to prove that a certain middle - of - the - road proposal that means the progressive proposal so to speak is feasible and superb leading to top - notch democracy no one will request that it be stopped
但是，如果好像現時這樣，在選舉期間出現我認為是惡霸式的所謂民主方向，那麼在香港現時的政治環境下，我便感到很憂慮。
However if like what has happened now a so - called direction of democracy which I consider villainous will emerge during times of election given the present political situation in Hong Kong I feel gravely concerned
我明白，我自己亦支持盡快落實《基本法》訂明的最終目標，即普選立法會。
I understand it . I myself also support the expeditious implementation of the ultimate aim prescribed in the Basic Law ie . universal suffrage for election of the Legislative Council
但是，我們能否證明自己能做到三大點，就是互信、互換思維及互相尊重？
However can we prove that we can achieve three major points namely mutual trust empathy and mutual respect?
只有這樣，我們才會有機會突破，而每次走前一步，我們均可踏實地證明我們的制度和文化是有進步的，而不是退步，不會變成不文明的社會，甚至只是一個霸道地剝奪我們的言論自由的社會。
It is only then that will we have the opportunity of making a breakthrough . Every step ahead will be practical proof of progress in our system and culture . We will not move backward and become an uncivilized society or one which even arbitrarily deprives us of freedom of speech
大家知道我所說的正是現時令人憂慮的境況。
Members know that I am exactly talking about the current worrying circumstances
因此，如果反對派仍然談政改，請他們呼籲市民與暴力切割，回復法治精神，遵守《基本法》，並透過修訂與選舉制度相關的法例來達致他們的目標。
Therefore if the opposition camp still talks about constitutional reform will they please call on members of the public to sever ties with violence restore the rule of law abide by the Basic Law and achieve their purpose through making legislative amendments relating to the electoral system
我只是希望......
I just hope that
我們今天審議的是《2019年選舉法例條例草案》，主要是有關容許立法會換屆選舉或補選的地方選區或區議會功能界別候選人名單上的候選人以總選舉事務主任認可的方式呈交提名表格，以及修訂候選人可免付郵資投寄的每封信件的厚度及尺寸規定。
Today we are considering the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019 the Bill which mainly concerns allowing candidates on candidate lists of geographical constituencies or the District Council Second Functional Constituency in the Legislative Council general election or by - election to submit the nomination form in a way authorized by the Chief Electoral Officer and refining the requirement on thickness and size of each letter that may be sent free of postage by candidates
不單如此，我認識的朋友或朋友的朋友均致電給我，表示要我回覆，要親自與我傾談，因為他們發現很多問題。
Not only this . Friends I know or friends of my friends called me asking me to call back . They wanted to personally talk to me because they had found a lot of problems
不過，我下午一直要開會，無法回覆他們，最後，他們各自留下錄音信息，我稍後播給局長聽聽，當中有他認識的人，甚至某位前官員的太太也來電說覺得有問題，這是何等嚴重呢！
However since I had been held up in a meeting in the afternoon I could not reply to them . Eventually they each left a message on the recorder . I will play it to the Secretary later
試想一想，一名選舉主任因遭恐嚇而不敢再做下去，另一名選舉主任出來指自己曾被恐嚇，完成審查候選人資格後，更失了蹤，原來她已入住安全屋，我至今仍未能跟她聯絡，她是我的好朋友。
Another Returning Officer came forward to say that she had been intimidated . After completing the verification of the eligibility of a candidate she even disappeared . It turned out that she had moved to a safe house
如果按照之前香港的暴徒或反對派的思考邏輯，糟糕了，這個人一定已被謀殺......
If we apply the previous logic of thinking of the rioters or opposition camp in Hong Kong how terrible this person must have been murdered
我們的選舉法例確實有不健全之處。
There are indeed flaws in our electoral legislation
所以，現時由選舉法例到投票程序，是否出現了很大問題呢？
It was set ablaze three times in total . Hence at present from the electoral legislation to the voting procedures are there not grave problems?
我希望政府在不久將來可以就選舉法例提出更多修訂。
I hope the Government will propose more amendments to the electoral legislation in the near future
我昨天了解到，現時出現了很多有關選舉法例的問題，政府可否盡快提出修訂呢？
Yesterday I learnt that many problems relating to the electoral legislation have now emerged . Can the Government propose amendments as soon as possible?
要做一件事情，並非那麼容易，但我認為天下沒有事情是容易的，唯有一個理由做不到，就是恐懼。
It is by no means easy to achieve something but I do not think there is anything easy in the world . The only reason for failure to achieve anything is fear
所以，只要有心，我相信沒有事情是做不到的。
Therefore so long as there is determination I do not believe there is anything which cannot be achieved
我希望局長會認真審視現時的選舉法例，當中真是千瘡百孔。
I hope the Secretary will seriously examine the existing electoral legislation which is indeed punctuated by flaws
雖然我知道局長是在今屆才上任，有很多事情是之前已經定下，難以一下子作出大量改變。
I know the Secretary assumed office in this term prior to which a lot of things had already been determined . It is difficult to make too many changes all at once . However he is a young man
可是，他是一位年青人，與我相比，他尚算年青，我相信年青人應該有更大的改革和創新精神，局長請加油。
Compared with me he is still young . I believe young people should have a greater spirit of reform and innovation . Secretary keep it up!
其實民主並不可怕......
In fact democracy is nothing terrible
我認為政府欠缺前瞻性，亦過分保守。
I believe the Government lacks foresight and is also much too conservative
如果當局只作出技術性修訂，根本上隨便找個AO也能夠做到，無須由這麼高薪的局長來做。
If the authorities seek only to make technical amendments any Administrative Officer can do the job actually so there is no need for such a handsomely paid Bureau Director to undertake it
《基本法》第六十八條訂明有普選，現在是否因為被人大八三一決定完全封殺，我們便要止步呢？
Article 68 of the Basic Law stipulates clearly that there will be universal suffrage so now must we stop and proceed no further because the 31 August Decision of NPCSC has ruled out all alternatives?
如果我們無法令年青人或香港人有信心，知道香港何時可以有普選......現在基本上是沒有普選的時間表、路線圖，只因一個八三一決定便"卡死"香港。
If we cannot inspire confidence in the young people or Hong Kong people so that they know when there will be universal suffrage in Hong Kong at present basically we have no timetable or roadmap for universal suffrage all because the 31 August Decision has rendered Hong Kong straitjacketed
立法會當中有議員是香港特別行政區基本法委員會成員、有議員是人大常委會委員、有議員是政協委員，他們有否為香港的民主前途說服中央政府和特區政府，讓香港人落實雙真普選？
Some of us Legislative Council Members are members of the Committee for the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region some are members of NPCSC and some are Hong Kong members of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference . For the sake of the future of democracy in Hong Kong have they ever attempted to convince the Central Government and the SAR Government so that Hong Kong people can implement genuine dual universal suffrage?
主席，其實我不曾離題，所以我不太認同你的說法。
President in fact I have never strayed from the question so I do not quite agree with your point
不過，我感謝你的溫馨提示。
Nevertheless I am grateful to you for your kind reminder
香港落實雙真普選，廢除立法會的功能界別，要有普及而平等的選舉，這點在《基本法》裏清楚訂明，我們現在不可以胡胡混混當作沒有發生過，然後繼續忍受現時不公平的政治架構。
That Hong Kong will implement genuine dual universal suffrage abolish FCs in the Legislative Council and have universal and equal elections is stipulated clearly in the Basic Law . We cannot just muddle along and pretend that this has not happened then continue to tolerate the existing unfair political structure . Many Members of the pro - establishment camp criticized the elections claiming how unfair they are to them
有很多建制派議員批評選舉如何對他們不公平；不如這樣說，其實選舉從來對我們也是不公平的，香港何時有過公平的選舉？
Perhaps let us put it in this way instead . In fact the elections have always been unfair to us . When was there ever a fair election in Hong Kong?
大家可以詢問梁美芬議員，她背後有多少資源支持她？
Members can ask Dr Priscilla LEUNG how much resources support her at her back
九龍社團聯會有多少資金支持她進行地區工作？
How much funds does the Kowloon Federation of Associations use to support her in her district work?
如果說相關性，昨天我作為法案委員會主席所說的，我認為較黃碧雲議員現時所說的更為相關，所以，我希望你執行《議事規則》。
Talking about relevance I think what I said yesterday in my capacity as Chairman of the Bills Committee was more relevant than what Dr Helena WONG is talking about now so I hope you will enforce the Rules of Procedure
主席，所以我認為最重要的是......我返回辯論議題，因為局長今天在席，聆聽過這麼多位議員的發言，我很希望局長可認真地回應市民的訴求，而不單是止步於今天這項《條例草案》的技術修訂。
President therefore I think the most important thing is I will come back to the question of the debate because the Secretary is present today and has listened to the speeches of so many Members so I hope very much that he can seriously respond to the demands of the public rather than stop at making the technical amendments to the Bill today
大家也希望功能界別從香港消失，令立法會議員可以由"一人一票"的普選產生，有更公平、民主、合理的政治制度。
We all hope that FCs will disappear from Hong Kong so that Legislative Council Members can be elected through universal suffrage of one person one vote and there will be a fairer more democratic and more reasonable political system
這是政府化解香港現時的政治矛盾、化解街頭暴力至為關鍵的一步，政府不可能坐在這裏等待，讓這個八三一決定牢牢捆綁香港......
This is a critical step if the Government hopes to resolve the present political conflicts and street violence in Hong Kong . The Government cannot possibly sit and wait here and let this 31 August Decision bind Hong Kong tightly
主席，其實我一直也沒有離題，我們現在討論有關功能界別的修訂，所以我告訴局長，這樣的小修小補是沒有作用的，我們須大膽進取，將整個功能界別制度削去。
President in fact all along I have never strayed from the question . We are now discussing the amendments to FCs so I told the Secretary that this kind of patch - up is useless . We must be bold and ambitious and slice off the entire system of FCs
主席，我不認同你的判斷，我現在是談論這個改革的修正步伐及範疇，而我認為是過於狹窄。
President I do not agree with your judgment . I am now talking about the pace and scope of amendment in this reform which I consider to be too narrow
如果只是作一些技術性的......
If one makes only technical
功能界別肯定是不公平的選舉，至於直選產生的議員有沒有額外的資源，在公眾無法知悉的情況下，一直支持他們進行地區工作，這些個別議員自己應該很清楚知道。
FC elections are surely unfair . As regards whether or not Members returned by direct elections all along have additional resources to support their work in various districts without the public being aware of it the Members in question should know this full well
主席，我認為黃碧雲議員剛才在發言時，當她第一次提及類似的事情時，提及我的名字。
President I think when Dr Helena WONG spoke just now on the first occasion when she referred to similar matters she mentioned my name
我相信全香港沒有人不知道梁美芬議員與九龍社團聯會的關係，不過我也不想與她在這件事上糾纏，公眾的眼睛是非常雪亮的。
I believe no one in Hong Kong does not know the relationship between Dr Priscilla LEUNG and the Kowloon Federation of Associations but I do not wish to wrangle with her over this matter as the public are very discerning
主席，我希望局長......
President I hope the Secretary
其實我們最關心的是香港有沒有民主和公義的政治制度，這是過去數個月以來，為何有這麼多人上街的原因。
In fact our greatest concern is the absence of a democratic and just political system in Hong Kong and this is the reason for so many people taking to the streets in the past few months
除了"反警暴"，便是他們要爭取落實五大訴求，五大訴求的其中一項是雙真普選......
Apart from opposition to police brutality they want to campaign for the implementation of the five demands and one of them is genuine dual universal suffrage
主席，《2019年選舉法例條例草案》經修正已獲全體委員會通過，我發言支持三讀通過《條例草案》。
President the Electoral Legislation Bill 2019 the Bill has been passed by committee of the whole Council with amendment . I speak in support of the Third Reading
《條例草案》的主旨是就2020年立法會換屆選舉及其他公共選舉作出所需的技術性修訂，其中一項是有關功能界別選民基礎的技術 修訂。
The purpose of the Bill is to introduce necessary technical amendments for the 2020 Legislative Council General Election and other public elections with one of them being technical amendments concerning the electorate of the functional cconstituencies FCs
儘管其性質屬技術修訂，但無疑有助確保各項選舉公平公正及有序地順利進行，相信社會各界基本上也會認同。
Despite their nature as technical amendments they will undoubtedly help ensure the conduct of elections in a fair equitable and orderly manner . I believe various sectors of the community will basically agree to that
