我剛才在主體答覆中亦有提及，鍾議員亦知道，我們之前曾推出"保就業"計劃，但疫情始終是一個動態的發展，而且在目前情況下，財政負擔也是一個要考慮的方面，所以經綜合考慮之後，我們推出比較針對性的措施，我們認為針對個別行業或個別受影響市民採取措施會更為穩妥。
And under the present situation the financial implication is another factor we need to consider . Hence after holistic consideration we launched the targeted measures . We hold that it is more tenable to formulate targeted measures for individual enterprises and people affected by the epidemic
如果大家有留意，財政司司長在預算案中已推出多方面的措施，在企業的層面，例如優化中小企融資擔保計劃、延長其他計劃的申請期，亦包括個人層面有關失業人士的貸款計劃，接着很快便會前來立法會申請撥款，希望獲得通過；其他涉及更多市民的，便是5,000元消費券，可見我們如何配合疫情和經濟發展的變化推出措施。
As Members may be aware the Financial Secretary has launched a variety of measures in the Budget . For enterprises he has among others enhanced the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme and extended the application period of another scheme . For individuals his measures include a loan scheme for the unemployed
其實，我們並沒有停步，反而是考慮如何配合時勢變化、配合目前最新情況，推出一些新的適切措施。
So Members can see how we have introduced measures in tandem with the changing epidemic and economic development . Actually we have not stopped but rather we have been launching new and suitable measures in the light of the changing time and the latest situation
除了議員剛才說的保就業，以及我剛才介紹預算案提出的措施之外，還有一些措施是創造就業的，因為在"保"的同時，我們也要尋找一些新東西。
Apart from efforts to support employment which Members just mentioned and the measures in the Budget I just introduced there are measures that seek to create employment opportunities . It is because apart from preserving employment opportunities we also need to find new positions
主席，我看到局長在主體答覆花了很多篇幅再三重申政府推出保就業的理據。
President I notice that the Secretary has talked at great length about the justification for the Government to launch the Employment Support Scheme
不過我想問，以兩大超市為例，它們在這段時間不斷賺錢，賺了上億元。
But I wish to raise a question about the two major supermarket chains which have been making handsome profits in hundreds of millions of dollars over this period of time
第二，關於"保就業"計劃，看回數據，兩間超市在第二期計劃中也有申領超過一定數額的補貼，而按照政府早前訂下的回饋原則，對於它們的基本回饋金額也是有一定安排的，也許我在此提出一些具體數字。
Second regarding the Employment Support Scheme if we refer to the statistics the two supermarket chains applied for considerable amounts of wage subsidies in the second tranche of the Scheme . Based on the give - back principle laid down by the Government earlier they are required to offer rebate to their customers . Perhaps let me provide Members with some specific data here
惠康和百佳在第二期計劃所得的工資補貼，分別為1億8,450萬元及1億6,196萬元。
Wellcome and PARKnSHOP respectively received wage subsidies of 184.5 million and 161.96 million under the second tranche of the Employment Support Scheme
根據我們早前訂下的回饋原則，它們的基本回饋金額不應該少於9,225萬元及8,098萬元。
According to the give - back principle we laid down earlier their minimum rebate amounts should be no less than 92.25 million and 80.98 million respectively
就此，兩間超市已經在去年12月底前完成回饋，並以公開受惠機構名單、受惠人士數目及所涉金額，讓公眾可以監察。
In this connection the two supermarket chains already completed the giving of rebates before the end of December 2020 and made public for public scrutiny the list of benefiting organizations the number of beneficiaries and the corresponding amounts of rebates they received
在這方面，周議員的想法與我們是相同的，就是考慮如何更加適切和聚焦地幫助需要幫忙的市民，這亦正正是我們在預算案中提出措施時的重點考慮。
Mr CHOW and the Government are like - minded here . We are both concerned about how to help people in need in a more appropriate and focused manner . And this was also our major consideration when we proposed the measures in the Budget
那麼，局長是否只會繼續"翹埋雙手等運到"，讓企業只能自保呢？
So will the Secretary continue to sit on his hands and try his luck and let enterprises save themselves?
所以，我亦想藉此平台呼籲多些市民接種疫苗，因為其中一個抗疫關鍵就是要接種疫苗。
I thus wish to use this platform to urge the public to get vaccinated . Vaccination is one of the keys in fighting the epidemic
當然，另一方面，疫情發展是動態的，所以我們在過去數輪基金，以及在預算案內提出的很多措施，也是因為考慮到這些動態的發展。
But of course the development of the epidemic is always changing . That is why we have launched so many measures under AEF and in the Budget
回應鍾議員剛才的提問，我們在預算案中並非完全沒有着墨於企業，我剛才也曾介紹延長貸款計劃的申請期，以及其他一些針對企業長遠發展的措施。
To reply Mr CHUNGs question just now the Budget is not without any measures for enterprises . Just now I said that the application period for a loan scheme would be extended; and I also mentioned some other measures on the long - term development of enterprises
所以，我們既要做好現在，又要顧及將來。
Hence we need to properly deal with the present and prepare for the future
在2017年7月12日的會議休會前，本會已通過《2017年印花稅條例草案》的二讀議案。
Before the adjournment of the meeting of 12 July 2017 this Council passed the motion for the Second Reading of the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017
本會現進入全體委員會審議階段，審議該條例草案。
This Council now proceeds to the Committee stage to consider the Bill
主席，我根據《議事規則》第404條，動議"全體委員會現即休會待續"的議案。
Chairman in accordance with Rule 404 of the Rules of Procedure I move a motion that further proceedings of the committee be now adjourned
由於運輸及房屋局局長提出了休會待續議案，本會現在先處理這項議案。
As the Secretary for Transport and Housing has moved a motion for adjournment this Council now deals with this motion first
局長，你現在可以動議二讀《2017年稅務條例草案》。
Secretary you may now move the Second Reading of the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 5 Bill 2017
請秘書處人員移除那個展示牌。
Secretariat staff will please remove the placard
政務司司長就"回應政府帳目委員會第六十八號報告書的政府覆文"向本會發言。
Address . The Chief Secretary for Administration will address the Council on The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No . 68
當局規定，公屋租戶在獲取其他資助房屋生效日期起計的60天內須騰空交還公屋單位；租戶可申請延期最多30天，但須就該期間支付相當於原來租金3倍的佔用費。
The authorities have stipulated that tenants of public rental housing PRH are required to vacate and surrender their PRH flats within 60 days from the date of having acquired another form of subsidized housing; and tenants may apply for an extended stay of up to 30 days but have to pay an occupation fee equivalent to three times of the normal rent for that period
另一方面，當局去年推出首個綠表置居先導計劃項目景泰苑，供綠表申請人購買。
On the other hand the authorities launched last year the first Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Pilot Scheme project King Tai Court for purchase by Green Form applicants
據報，景泰苑近日落成入伙，並有多個單位的牆身及天花出現滲水情況。
It has been reported that King Tai Court has been completed for intake recently and water seepage has been found on the walls and ceilings of a number of flats
該等單位的裝修工程需押後，以待樓宇承建商完成糾正欠妥之處，有關業主因此難以按上述規定在限期內交還公屋單位。
Renovation works for those flats have to be postponed pending completion of the rectification of the defects by the building contractor
就此，政府可否告知本會：一房屋署至今接獲多少宗景泰苑的單位出現滲水及其他樓宇質素問題的投訴，以及有多少個該等單位的糾正工程已完成；二鑒於景泰苑多個單位有欠妥之處，當局會否要求樓宇承建商把該屋苑為期1年的保養責任期延長；若會，詳情為何；若否，原因為何；及三當局會否押後有關業主交還公屋單位的限期，以及豁免他們支付佔用費？
As a result the owners concerned have difficulties in surrendering their PRH flats within the deadlines pursuant to the aforesaid stipulation . In this connection will the Government inform this Council 1 of the number of complaints about water seepage and other building quality problems in the flats of King Tai Court received by the Housing Department so far as well as the number of such flats with rectification works completed; 2 given that defects have been found in a number of flats in King Tai Court whether the authorities will require the building contractor to extend the one - year warranty period for the housing estate; if so of the details; if not the reasons for that; and 3 whether the authorities will extend the deadlines for surrendering the PRH flats by the owners concerned and waive their payment of the occupation fees?
主席，多謝議員的質詢。
President thank you for Members question
就柯創盛議員質詢的各部分，我現在綜合答覆如下： 香港房屋委員會於2016年10月推出位於新蒲崗的"綠表置居計劃"先導項目景泰苑。
My consolidated reply to the various parts of the question raised by Mr Wilson OR is as follows The Hong Kong Housing Authority HA launched the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme GSH pilot project in San Po Kong―King Tai Court in October 2016
項目全數857個單位已悉數售出......
All 857 flats of the project were sold
主席，所謂"百日定江山"，其實是指政治領袖上任後，可利用就任初期的蜜月期，以高民望進行大刀闊斧的改革，解決一直存在的深層次矛盾。
Chairman it is said that the stability of a country can be secured in 100 days . In fact after a political leader has assumed office he can make use of the initial honeymoon period to carry out drastic reforms when his popularity rating is high so as to solve the deep - seated contradictions that have always existed
今天是林鄭月娥發表首份施政報告後立法會第一天舉行會議，亦是她上任第一百一十天。
Today the Legislative Council holds the first meeting after Carrie LAM delivered her first Policy Address and she has been in office for 110 days
她最低限度應利用其民望處理深層次問題，例如透過政改解決一些政治問題、偏向既得利益者的問題，或正如今次會議般修訂《印花稅條例》，以解決換樓客遇到的難題。
At least she should make use of her popularity to deal with deep - seated problems such as resolving political issues through a constitutional reform resolving problems of being partial to those with vested interests as well as amending the Stamp Duty Ordinance as is now being done to resolve the difficulties encountered by people replacing their residential properties
相反，林鄭月娥利用這段短暫蜜月期，"DQ"立法會內的"眼中釘"，將出入境管制權拱手相讓，拒絕英國保守黨的人士入境，並將市中心珍貴地段割出，作為向中共獻媚的貢品。
On the contrary Carrie LAM has made use of this brief honeymoon period to disqualify eyesores in the Legislative Council give up the immigration control power refuse the entry of someone from the British Conservative Party and cede a piece of precious land in the city centre to the Communist Party of China CPC to win its favour
她亦無利用這段蜜月期處理民生問題，反而着手處理政治鬥爭及中共的任務，以及對付提出問題的人。
She has not made use of this honeymoon period to deal with livelihood issues; instead she initiates political struggles handles the tasks assigned by CPC and targets at those who raised queries
建制派在中共資源和"林鄭"的庇護下，肆意修改《議事規則》，並藉詞將責任推卸到民主派身上。
Under the protection of CPC resources and Carrie LAM the pro - establishment camp wantonly amends the Rules of Procedure and makes up excuses to shirk responsibilities onto the democrats
建制派隨中央魔笛起舞，不顧港人生死。
The pro - establishment camp is dancing to sound of the CPCs magic flute not caring about the life and death of Hong Kong people
今次討論的焦點是印花稅。對不少人來說，印花稅其實是很大的負擔。
The focus of this discussion is stamp duty which is a heavy burden for many people
過往多年，政府制訂"辣招"後不斷加辣，很多時候都是針對印花稅。
For many years in the past the Government kept enhancing the curb measures which are very often related to stamp duty
有關印花稅的安排，在上個會期其實已討論過。
Regarding the stamp duty arrangement discussions were made in the last legislative session
政府本身亦曾表示，要盡快通過《2017年印花稅條例草案》，以免製造不明朗的因素，令市場誤會政府釋出不會繼續收緊"辣招"的信息。
The Government indicated that the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill should be passed expeditiously to avoid creating uncertainties lest the market might misinterpret that the Government was giving the message of not enhancing the curb measure any more
我必須申報，我有家人在近期置業。
I would like to declare interest . My family member has recently acquired a property
在不明朗的因素下，政府絕對有責任盡早處理《條例草案》。
In light of the uncertainties the Government is absolutely obliged to deal with the Bill as soon as possible
過往數月，股市和樓市全面向上。
In the past few months stock and property prices are all on the increase
其實，現在林鄭月娥對立法會予取予攜，無論是在財務委員會或是今天舉行的立法會全體委員會會議......
In fact Carrie LAM could do whatever she wanted to the Legislative Council; at the Finance Committee meeting or the committee of the whole Council today
《條例草案》中止討論會否導致樓價在未來數天甚至一兩個月，繼續火熱炒上？
Will adjourning the discussion of the Bill lead to a continuous surge in property prices in the next few days or even the next one or two months?
雖然政府表明無意向市場發放錯誤信息，當局仍然不會"減辣"，但明天財經新聞會如何報道？
Although the Government has indicated that it has no intent to give the market a wrong message that the authorities would relax the curb measures how will this information be reported in the financial news tomorrow?
一些手持大量物業的地產商，又會如何解讀這次事件？
How will some property developers who hold a large number of properties interpret this incident?
我們無從得知。
We have no idea
我們只是不希望有不明確性出現。
We do not want uncertainties
如果政府願意聆聽不同派別議員的意見，便不會如此急切在昨天公布全體委員會休會待續的議案。
If the Government is willing to listen to the views of Members from different groupings it would not have urgently announced a motion to adjourn the proceedings of the committee of the whole Council yesterday
此舉對立法會有欠尊重。
The move is a disrespect for the Legislative Council
我希望主席能夠處理此事。
I hope the President will handle this matter
如果議員可以佔用其座位以外的座位，我便會將"工聯會70大壽"的道具擺放在那些座位上。
If Members can occupy seats other than their own I am going to put the 70 Anniversary of the Federation of Trade Unions props on those seats
關於這項辯論，我認為首先大家要清晰，我們要批評和譴責的對象，理應是坐在台上的梁君彥主席。
As far as this debate is concerned I think that first of all we need to keep a clear head . The target of our criticism and censure should be Chairman Andrew LEUNG sitting up there on the dais
按我理解，根據《議事規則》第404條，"在立法會全體委員會會議上，議員可無經預告而動議一項委員會現即休會待續的議案"，但究竟能否獲豁免預告，須由立法會主席判斷。
My understanding is that although Rule 404 of the Rules of Procedure RoP provides that [w]hen the Council is in committee a Member may move without notice that further proceedings of the committee be now adjourned it is up to the President of the Legislative Council to judge whether notice can be dispensed with
說到政府自行抽起法案，唯一或最近的案例是在2000年6月22日，根據當時的紀錄，政府在會議上提出休會辯論，但辯論的焦點並非政府是否有權這樣做。
Speaking of the Governments withdrawal of a bill of its own accord the only or the most recent precedent case took place on 22 June 2000 . According to the record of what happened back then the Government initiated an adjournment debate at the meeting but the debate was not focused on whether the Government had the right to do so
當然，按照英式議會規則，雖然議員可獲豁免預告而主席能酌情批准，但政府能否這樣做則視乎主席的判斷。
Admittedly if British parliamentary rules are followed the need for a Member to give notice may be dispensed with subject to the Presidents approval at his discretion but whether the Government can do the same depends on the Presidents judgment
所以，關鍵是在今天這一刻，梁君彥主席是基於甚麼判斷準則，容許政府可無經預告，"睡醒"後突然提出更改會議議程。
Therefore the crux of the matter at hand today lies in the judgment criteria on which Chairman Andrew LEUNG based his decision to allow the Government to initiate without notice a change to the agenda all of a sudden after it woke up
鄭松泰議員，請稍停，因為你在發言中提及我的判斷。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai please hold on because you have mentioned my judgment in your speech
主席，你必須澄清。
Chairman you must clarify
既然如此，在條文上，你現在可以如此解讀，但在案例上，2000年6月22日，前議員李永達先生提出了一個疑問："根據《議事規則》主席是有權豁免作出預告的"......這是逐字紀錄，主席，你不可以說我離題。
You may interpret the provision in this way now but in the precedent case that took place on 22 June 2000 former Member Mr LEE Wing - tat raised a query In accordance with the Rules of Procedure the Chairman may in her discretion dispense with notice This is a verbatim record Chairman so you cannot say that I am digressing
當時李永達先生問："豁免預告的情況是否只應用於民政事務局局長的身上？
At the time Mr LEE Wing - tat asked if the dispensation of notice was only applicable to the Secretary for Home Affairs
"就當時討論的《2000年建築物管理條例草案》而言，由於沒有足夠時間處理之後的事項，他便問主席究竟以甚麼準則判斷當時的豁免。
As there was not sufficient time to deal with the subsequent items in respect of the Building Management Amendment Bill 2000 being discussed back then he asked the Chairman about the criteria she used for judging whether the dispensation should be granted
主席的裁決不容辯論。
No debate may arise on the Chairmans ruling
關於這份紀錄，我會想方法或找機會......
As for this record I will think of a way or seek an opportunity to I wonder who should eat it
既然你認為在程序上，政府無經預告而在今天動議這項休會待續議案是沒有問題的，那麼我想討論一個基本問題。
Since you think that it is procedurally okay for the Government to move without notice this motion for adjournment today I would like to discuss a basic issue
無論是就實際情況或《條例草案》而言，我並不認為你能夠根據你剛才所說的條文提供充分解釋。
As far as the actual situation or the Bill is concerned I do not think that you can give an adequate explanation based on the provision mentioned by you just now
再者，按內容來討論......主席，我要求點算法定人數。
Besides if we discuss the contents Chairman I request a headcount
請問秘書，現在是否有足夠法定人數？
May I ask the Clerk if a quorum is present now?
我仔細審閱了《議事規則》的條文。
I have read the provisions of RoP carefully
如果大家記得，上星期她仍然表示，她對香港的施政方針撇開政制不談最重要的是關於房屋，甚至提出要重塑置業階梯。
Members may recall that last week she still said that among her policy objectives for Hong Kong aside from constitutional development the most important one was housing and she even proposed rebuilding the housing ladder
所以，令我無法理解的是，在這個政策方針的前提下，她怎可以在這個會期一開始時，便將其施政報告的其中一個核心部分破壞？
It is thus incomprehensible to me that despite such a policy objective she is destroying one of the core elements of her Policy Address right at the start of this legislative session
《條例草案》關乎之前的"雙辣招"現時是否需要修訂。
The Bill is concerned with whether the double curbs measures implemented previously need to be modified at present
就基本立場而言，她不可能上星期持一種態度，今天"睡醒"卻持另一種態度。
This is about her basic stance . How could she take one attitude last week and adopt another attitude today after she woke up?
我認為這是"死小孩"的表現。
As I see it this is the behaviour of a bratty child
《條例草案》可放寬換樓的期限，並訂有其他相應安排，令更多市民可以真正走向置業，但就在這一刻，她卻違背其施政報告。
The Bill allows the time limit for property replacement to be relaxed and provides for other corresponding arrangements to enable more people to really move towards home ownership . But at this very moment she goes against her Policy Address
主席，就着這一點，說她神經質已比較客氣。
Chairman in the light of this it would be quite polite to call her a neurotic
如果你認為你並非優待"死小孩"，請作出解釋。
If you think that you are not giving preferential treatment to a bratty child please explain
我認為局長真的是......今天陳帆局長在此，是不幸的。
In my view the Secretary is really It is unfortunate that Secretary Frank CHAN is here today
大家都很清楚，政府是收到國家的命令，"睡醒"了便知道今天原來有事情要做。
We all know very well that the Government has received a State order . It has come to realize after waking up that it has a task to do today
主席，我再次強調，這裏是立法會。
She did not mention it to Members at the luncheon . Chairman let me stress again that this is the Legislative Council
當中的橫蠻、專制、專橫無理，大家有目共睹，可是不要緊，只要建制派議員配合便沒有問題，一切就是如此而已。
This imperious autocratic peremptory and unreasonable approach is obvious to everyone . But it does not matter . As long as pro - establishment Members cooperate it is fine
我希望公眾明白，今天之所以出現這個局面，是因為你，主席閣下。
That is it . I hope the public understands that this situation has arisen today because of you Chairman
我不會說你不公，我不會說你沒有根據《議事規則》行事。
I will not say that you are being unfair nor will I say that you are not acting in accordance with RoP
主席，我們並非回到殖民管治時期。
Chairman we are not returning to the colonial era
所有議員均已作好準備，打算就《條例草案》的不同範疇向局方解釋，但"林鄭"現時並非對《條例草案》的內容提出修訂，只是"睡醒"後發現有些事情忘了做，於是要求立法會全體議員遷就她。
All Members are prepared to expound their views to the Bureau on different aspects of the Bill . But now Carrie LAM is not proposing any amendment to the contents of the Bill . She simply realized after waking up that she had forgotten to do something and so she asked all Members of the Legislative Council to accommodate her
她有否想過自己其實只是行政 長官，今時今日她並沒有兼任立法會主席？
Has it ever occurred to her that she is actually only the Chief Executive and does not double as the President of the Legislative Council at present?
主席，我作為《2017年印花稅條例草案》的法案委員會主席，對於運輸及房屋局局長在今天的立法會會議上提出中止審議《條例草案》，我和所屬的民建聯均表示支持。
Chairman in my capacity as the Chairman of the Bills Committee on the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill I together with the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong to which I belong support the proposal of the Secretary for Transport and Housing to suspend the scrutiny of the Bill at the Legislative Council meeting today
雖然《條例草案》的審議過程基本上已經完結，進入了全體委員會審議階段，已快到最後的表決階段，但《條例草案》為"先訂立後審議"的法案，現時特區政府因為種種原因，暫時中止審議《條例草案》，並不會影響《條例草案》的實際運作情況。
Though the Bill has basically completed the preliminary scrutiny process and has entered the Committee stage and will soon come to the final voting stage given that the Bill is a piece of legislation subject to negative vetting the temporary suspension of the scrutiny of the Bill by the SAR Government due to various reasons will not affect the actual enforcement of the Bill
再者，特首林鄭月娥女士日前亦承諾，會採納立法會各黨派議員提出延長換樓退稅期限的建議，考慮將期限由原來的6個月延長至9個月或甚至12個月。
In addition a few days ago Chief Executive Mrs Carrie LAM undertook to adopt the proposal of Legislative Council Members from different political parties and groupings to extend the time limit for property replacement under the refund mechanism from the original 6 months to 9 or 12 months
特區政府能夠廣納民意，回應立法會及社會各界的訴求，是值得肯定及支持的。
The SAR Government deserves our affirmation and support for gauging public opinion and responding to the aspirations of the Legislative Council and various sectors of society
我希望香港市民看得清清楚楚，我不想說太多。
I hope that Hong Kong people can clearly discern the fact and I do not wish to say any more
我們曾舉行多次會議審議《條例草案》，並有多位議員同事盡心盡力地提出多項有用和有建設性的修正案。
We have conducted a number of meetings to examine the Stamp Duty Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill and many colleagues have done their utmost to put forward a couple of meaningful and constructive amendments
正如今天多位議員在發言時也提到，對上一次出現這種特殊情況已是17年前，但今天我卻聽不到有任何充分和實質的理據支持政府要突然引用第404條。
Just as a number of Members have mentioned in their speeches earlier today the last time this situation arose was 17 years ago . Today however I have not heard any justifiable or substantial reason for the Government to invoke RoP 404 all of a sudden
基於下述4個理由，我反對政府今天突然根據第404條動議議案。
I oppose the Governments abrupt proposal to move a motion under RoP 404 today based on the following four reasons
截至現時為止，我手邊仍未有任何時間表詳列政府會有多少項法案須提交立法會討論和通過。
So far I have not received any timetable setting out the number of bills to be tabled at this Council for discussion and passage
主席，我只知道在這個立法年度，單是由財經事務及庫務局提交議會討論和通過的法案已不下10多項。
Chairman I only know that in the coming legislative session the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau alone will table 10 - odd bills for scrutiny and approval by this Council
現時立法會在大會上二讀及三讀法案的時間有限，所以一旦錯過了，便會有很多法案須押後6個月甚至1年才獲得通過，這對香港的整體經濟金融發展絕對會造成負面影響。
Given the time constraint on the Second and Third Readings of bills at this Council if a bill falls behind schedule the passage of all other bills in the pipeline will be delayed for six months or even a year and this will definitely adversely affect the overall economic and financial development in Hong Kong
我現在也是另一個有關反對象牙貿易的法案委員會的成員，知道很多環保人士和議會同事均希望有關法案能盡快獲得通過，不想因為我們現時押後處理《條例草案》，以致其他理應獲通過的法案推遲通過，令香港蒙受更多損失。
Being a member of another Bills Committee on anti - ivory trade I learnt that many environmentalists and Honourable colleagues have expressed their wish for the relevant bill to be expeditiously passed . The last thing they wish to see is the postponement of the Bill as this would defer the passage of other bills that should be passed thereby causing more damages to Hong Kong
第二個反對押後討論《條例草案》的原因是，此舉會令市場的信息更混亂。
The second reason for opposing the postponement of the debate of the Bill is that this may make the already very confusing market information even more confusing
她也說過，覺得現時實施的樓市"辣招"已經很"辣"，即是之前3次推出的樓市"辣招"已經很厲害。
She also mentioned that the curb measures previously introduced were harsh enough meaning that the previous three curb measures were indeed very harsh
如果她重視香港人的居住權利居住也是一種權利便不應該將《條例草案》押後。
If she really cares about Hong Kong peoples right to housing―housing is also a kind of right―she should not postpone the Bill
雖然有議員表示現時"先訂立後審議"的程序已在行政上收到阻嚇效果，但請不要忘記，市場信息會令長線或短線的炒家甚或地產經紀趁勢入市，又或是發出一些錯誤的信息令樓價瘋狂飆升。
Although a Member said that administratively speaking the existing negative vetting procedure does have some deterrent effects we must not forget that any information may either prompt long - or short - term speculators or estate agents to engage in property trading or send a wrong message to the property market and cause frantic increase in property prices
主席，一些證據顯示，我們自2013年起先後3次推出"辣招"，再加上這次的第四項"辣招"，私人住宅價格指數已飆升3倍。
Chairman as indicated by some data after implementing three curb measures since 2013 and coupled with the proposed fourth curb measure the price index of private residential properties has increased by threefold
假設1999年的私人住宅售價指數是100，2013年我指的是第一季已是237，到2015年已進一步飆升至289，而2017年時更高達315。
Assuming that the price index of private residential properties in 1999 was 100 it rose to 237 in 2013―I mean the first quarter . The index then escalated to 289 in 2015 and reached as high as 315 in 2017
如果認為第四招，即《條例草案》完 全沒有作用，那倒不如整項撤回，不作討論。
If the fourth measure which is the present Bill is considered to be completely ineffective we might as well withdraw the Bill and stop the discussion
