同一道理，如果我們把選舉資格限制為身高不得超過5呎4吋，收入不得超過1萬元，以及學歷不得超過中學畢業，這樣又對不對呢？
Likewise if there were eligibility requirements for candidates to be not taller than five feet four inches not earning more than 10,000 and not having an academic qualification higher than matriculation level would these requirements be appropriate?
因此，我很感謝較早前有同事向大家介紹有關全體委員會的歷史背景及淵源多謝張國鈞議員令我們節省了很多時間，否則我也要花時間了解。
I am therefore very grateful that this morning a colleague gave us a briefing on the historical background and origin of a committee of the whole Council . Thank you Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan . You have saved us a lot of time or else I will have to spend time on understanding the background
為甚麼公民黨有需要做的工夫卻沒有做？
Why has the Civic Party not done what should be done?
昨晚，我詳細收聽了梁家傑接受網台的訪問，他指責我們建制派同事的辯論是"靠呃"、"靠嚇"，我真的十分認同，"靠呃"、"靠嚇"的就是今天的非建制派同事。
Last night I listened attentively to an interview of Mr Alan LEONG in an online radio programme . He criticized that the speeches made by pro - establishment colleagues during the debates only sought to threaten and to deceive . I cannot agree more because to deceive and to threaten were exactly what non - establishment colleagues are doing today
他們不斷用《基本法》第二十三條"靠呃"、"靠嚇"，完全不理解有關修訂建議的背景，也沒有勤力做功課，只靠那些所謂"懶人包"。
They kept citing Article 23 of the Basic Law to deceive and to threaten disregarding the rationale of the amendment proposals . Worse still they have not done any preparation but merely relied on the so - called lazy packs
我且不說他們有否出席議會，他們懶得甚麼文件也不看，發言內容膚淺無聊，包括我的"親家"譚文豪議員他在第一節發言時竟逐一讀出每項修訂建議......
Let us not talk about their attendance at Council meetings but they are so lazy that they do not bother to read any document and merely rise to give hollow speeches . Among them is my in - law―Mr Jeremy TAM―who read out each amendment proposal during his speech in the first session
不，是謝偉俊議員我也搞不清楚了我和他沒有任何親戚關係，他可不要認親認戚。
We are not relatives and he should not claim that we have any family relations
我真的很欣賞石禮謙議員剛才的發言，還有其後各同事的一連串發言，他們除了真正針對議題分析、說出心底話和提出理據外，還將道德高地大大提高。
I really appreciate the earlier speech made by Mr Abraham SHEK and those made by other colleagues thereafter . Not only have they made relevant analysis on the subject matter voiced sincere remarks and put forward justifications but they have also escalated the moral high ground to an even higher level
我們必須改 變才有機會重生，議會也要做火鳳凰，要經過浴火的洗禮才得以重生。
In order to start anew we must change . In order for this Council to emerge as a phoenix it must go through some sort of baptism
雖然我們這次花了很大力度才做到該做的事情，是在政綱中承諾選民要做並虧欠選民的事情，但我希望在勝出這場仗後，大家可以有較多互信和合作，令立法會變成火鳳凰，浴火重生。
Although we have put in a great deal of effort to put forward the present proposals it is something that we have pledged in our political platform to do for voters but has yet to be done . Anyhow I hope that after winning this war there will be greater mutual trust and cooperation among Members such that the Legislative Council will emerge as a phoenix and start anew
邵家臻議員，張超雄議員，請立即返回座位。
Mr SHIU Ka - chun Dr Fernando CHEUNG please return to your seats immediately
張超雄議員、邵家臻議員，我最後一次警告，如你們再不返回座位，我會視之為行為極不檢點，並命令你們離開會議廳。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG Mr SHIU Ka - chun this is my last warning . If you do not return to your seats now I would consider your conduct grossly disorderly and order you to leave the Chamber
大家都知道，"拉布"令我的血壓屢創新高。
Everyone knows that when Members filibuster my blood pressure gets higher and higher
雖然有人在互聯網表示希望我早日爆血管，又用其他方式詛咒我，但也有很多市民叮囑我保重身體，我要在此衷心感謝他們。
Although someone on the Internet wished that I had a stroke soon or cursed me in some other ways many others have reminded me to take good care of my health and to these people I would like to give my heartfelt gratitude
我認為反對派正面臨的重大抉擇是，應該繼續說謊還是說出事實和道理？
I think that the critical choice in front of them is whether they should continue to lie or tell the truth and be reasonable
"拉布"的確可以拖延會議，為議會和香港帶來的好處只是甚微，但造成的禍害卻極大。
Filibuster indeed does great harm to this Council . The benefits it brings to this Council and Hong Kong are negligible but the harm it inflicts is extremely great
我當然明白反對派有很多支持者，但我想衷心對他們說，他們在很多事情上也被誤導了，必須盡快清醒過來，因為再這樣下去，香港將不會再有"一國兩制"，只會走向"一國一制"。
I certainly understand that the opposition camp has many supporters but let me tell him in all sincerity that they have been misled in many matters . I urge them to wake up as soon as possible because if we let this situation go on one country two systems will soon cease to exist in Hong Kong and we will move toward one country one system
代理主席，我今天只會簡單發言。
Deputy President I will only speak briefly today
因此，我希望市民明白建制派是很努力為香港工作的，希望市民給予建制派更多支持。
Hence I hope members of the public will understand that the pro - establishment camp is working hard to serve Hong Kong and I hope they will give pro - establishment Members more support
主席，我今天的發言，很有可能是我就修改《議事規則》所作的最後一次發言。
President my speech today is likely to be my last speech on the amendment to the Rules of Procedure RoP
建制派把修改《議事規則》包裝成增加立法會議事效率的舉動，但何謂"議事效率"？
The pro - establishment camp has packaged the amendment to RoP as a move to enhance the efficiency of the Legislative Council in policy discussion but what is efficiency in policy discussion?
試想想，如果我們的效率只建基於做橡皮圖章，對政府議案不聞不問或隨便問兩句，我們又如何可以履行職責呢？
How can we perform our duties if our efficiency is premised on being rubber stamps if we are indifferent to Government motions or perfunctorily ask a few questions?
過去數年，官員就政府的財務建議及其提交的文件，經常被議員同事問得啞口無言，甚至連財務委員會主席陳健波議員及人事編制小組委員會主席葉劉淑儀議員都認為官員的回應是在迴避問題。
In the past few years government officials often failed to answer Members questions on financial proposals and submissions . Even Mr CHAN Kin - por Chairman of the Finance Committee and Mrs Regina IP Chairman of the Establishment Subcommittee considered that some officials were evading questions
當官員迴避問題，連透過與議員一問一答，把政府文件中提供的答案白紙黑字記錄在案也不願意，議員又怎能不提出質詢？
When officials are evading questions and are even unwilling to put on record their answers to Members questions or the information provided in government papers how can Members stop raising questions? . However when pro - democracy Members seriously put questions to government officials they are accused of filibustering
當然，我剛才提及的是財務委員會的問題，但推而廣之， 在今次有關《議事規則》的修訂上，其實也有此傾向。
Of course what I said just now is the case of the Finance Committee . However if we look at the wider picture we will see that the current amendment to RoP is moving in the same direction
我相信自有公論。
I believe the public will give a fair judgment
大家不要忘記，藉呈請書成立的專責委員會是公認的"無牙老虎"，最多只能要求政府當面作進一步解釋，在沒有傳召權的情況下，很多核心問題也未必能夠取得答案。
Please do not forget that a select committee formed by way of a petition is known to be a toothless tiger . It can at most ask the Government to come to the Council for a more detailed explanation . As it does not have the summoning power it may eventually fail to obtain answers for many crucial questions
不過，我們民主派仍然希望透過公眾監察的過程，藉專責委員會要求政府面對相關的行政或政策失誤，並記錄在案，令政府不會重蹈覆轍。
Despite this the pro - democracy camp still hopes that select committees can be set up to urge the Government to face up to its administrative and policy blunders through the process of public monitoring and recording . It is hoped that the Government will not make the same mistakes again
很多時候，議案本來得到大多數議員支持，但政府只要控制建制派議員，便可令議案不獲通過， 當然亦有其他各種可能性。
In many cases even if a motion is supported by a majority of Members the Government can stop the motion from passing by simply controlling pro - establishment Members . Of course we cannot deny that there are other possibilities
在這種不民主的制度下，由建制派推選一位議員擔任主席，只會把建制派的意志在議會中放到最大。
Under this undemocratic system the pro - establishment camp can amplify its will to the greatest extent by selecting the President among their Members
更令我們擔心的是，這議事堂上的議員所得的認受性，究竟從何而來？
But where does the legitimacy of Members in this Council come from? . It is a question that worries us more
特別是當主席零票當選，究竟他的認受性從何而來？
In particular when the President is elected by zero vote where does his legitimacy come from?
由此可見，《議事規則》的修訂建議會令議會的功能萎縮，議員固然無法有效監察行政機關，更會促成三權"打龍通"的情況。
From the above we can see that the proposals to amend RoP will undermine the functions of the Council . Not only will Members fail to monitor the Executive Authorities effectively but the three powers will collude
亦即是說，立法機關本應負責監督政府施政，但日後卻變成行政機關與立法機關合作，使施政看似暢順，即所謂的"有效率"。
In other words the legislature which supposedly should monitor the performance of the Government will in future cooperate with the Executive Authorities to make policy implementation smoother or to attain the so - called efficiency
舉例來說，今次特區政府為了讓《議事規則》的修訂建議獲得通過，便把所有正常法案撤回，不列入議程，讓立法會可專心一致處理修訂《議事規則》的擬議決議案。
For example in order to facilitate the passage of proposals to amend RoP the SAR Government has withdrawn all normal bills from the agenda so that the Legislative Council can focus on handling the proposed resolutions to amend RoP
此舉是否奠定三權合作的基礎？
Is this a move to lay the foundation for the cooperation of the three powers?
各種行動其實反映甚麼？
What was reflected in these movements?
反映香港確有很多市民擔心，共產黨會把歷史上的專權和專橫做法施加於香港。
They reflected that many people were worried about the Communist Party exercising autocratic and tyrannical power over Hong Kong as it did in history
當然，大家都知道香港人很現實，今天國家如此強大，全世界也向中國下跪叩頭，他們當然不會向國家挑戰。
Of course we all know that Hong Kong people are very realistic . Now that the country is so strong and countries around the world are kowtowing to China Hong Kong people certainly will not challenge the country
因為他們仍然覺得議會內需要有一定的制衡，以抗衡議會、特區政府和香港最終全面赤化，免致香港無法守住"一國兩制"。
Why? . That is because they still consider it necessary to have some kind of balances in the Council to prevent the Council the SAR Government and Hong Kong from Mainlandizing completely and to safeguard one country two systems for Hong Kong
如把"兩制"與"一國"之間的平衡點推到極致，以"一國"為先，"兩制"只屬附庸，香港人便會生出很多問號。
If the balance between two systems and one country cannot be maintained with two systems being subservient to one country people in Hong Kong will have lots of question marks in their mind
我沒說這些問號是對是錯，但這些問號代表的情緒是否可以置之不理？
I am not judging whether it is right or wrong to have question marks but can we afford to ignore the sentiment behind such question marks?
我想引用《伊索寓言》中"北風與太陽"的故事。
I would like to quote the story The North Wind and the Sun in Aesops Fables
北風說："我北風呼呼，外衣一定會被我吹走。
The North Wind said Let me blow away his coat
相反，若以較溫和的態度，藉太陽的溫暖令民心真正回歸，令人相信今天的中國政府在國家富強後已不同往日，真正發財立品，這是否更好和更有意義？
On the contrary will it be better to take a moderate approach and win the hearts of the people with the warmth of the Sun? . Will it be more meaningful to convince the people that the Chinese Government after the rise of China to affluence is different from what it used to be and has truly improved?
抑或應該繼續演繹中央政府指香港"本來就是紅色、何須赤化"的說法？
Or should we be preoccupied with the interpretation of the remarks made by the Central Government ie . there is no question of Mainlandizing Hong Kong as it is already red?
我想問問一眾從商的議員，香港的競爭力有多少是來自"一國兩制"賦予我們的額外能力，令我們面對國內城市大步向前走仍能維持今天的繁榮？
I have a question for Members from the business sector . To what extent does Hong Kongs competitiveness come from the advantage brought by one country two systems which help us stay prosperous despite the rapid development of the Mainland cities?
在"一國兩制"的實施過程中，維護香港的傳統和長久以來的核心價值十分重要，而其中一個重要關鍵，就是我們的議事堂能否解開社會和政治矛盾，政府又是否受到充分約束和制衡，令市民不表信服的事項能夠透過立法會的議事過程解決。
During the implementation of one country two systems it is important to maintain the tradition of Hong Kong and safeguard our long - established core values . The key lies in whether this Council can resolve social and political conflicts and whether the Government is sufficiently restrained and checked so that any unconvincing issues can be addressed through the discussion of the Legislative Council
議會若無法做到此事，建制派只靠政府"箍票"，"西環"幫忙，"中聯辦吹雞，大家就跪低"，我們又怎樣對得起在選舉過程中面向社會作出的承諾？
If the Council fails to do so with the pro - establishment camp relying on the Government to secure votes seeking help from the Western District and succumbing to the pressure of the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region how can we live up to the promises that we made to the public in elections?
我相信，即使是建制派或保皇黨，都希望"一國兩制"能夠落實，使"兩制"中的香港能夠體現其價值，而不是如同中央政府某些官員所說，香港本來就是紅色，何須多想赤化與否的問題。
In my view even the pro - establishment camp or the royalists would love to see the success of one country two systems and Hong Kong demonstrating its value under two systems . They will not agree with the remarks of the Central Government official that there is no question of Mainlandizing Hong Kong as it is already red
香港絕不是一個"紅色"的地方。
Hong Kong is never a red place
鄧小平所說的"50年不變"，目標其實是希望待國家富強後，國內的經濟制度、社會制度和建設終有一天能令香港所有市民信服。
When DENG Xiaoping said that Hong Kong would remain unchanged for 50 years he looked forward to the day when all people in Hong Kong would have trust in the economic system social regime and development of the Mainland after our country became strong and prosperous
希望大家能緊記這一點。
I hope we can all keep this in mind
我聽到林健鋒議員及部分議員經常提及暢順，我想問為誰暢順？
Mr Jeffrey LAM and some Members talked about smooth operation time and again . I would like to ask for whose sake do we have to ensure the smooth operation of the Council
我希望他們是真心的，並會透過行動表現出來，而第一個機會就是今天，但我相信不會這麼容易，他們應該會投票強行通過《議事規則》的修訂。
I hope they mean what they say and will show their sincerity through actions . They have the first chance today but I think the situation will be a bit difficult as they will probably vote in support of the amendments to RoP
廖長江議員在介紹自己及其他建制派議員提出的修訂建議時說得很動聽，不是這項在外國有先例，便是那項在英國、美國、加拿大和澳洲等地已有相關條文。
Mr Martin LIAOs remarks on the amendments proposed by him and other pro - establishment Members are pleasant to listen to . According to him there are precedents and similar provisions in foreign countries such as the United Kingdom the United States Canada and Australia
幸好他們沒有說人大常委會也有類似條文，因為我相信建制派同事也會間接承認，香港較中國大陸更民主。
Fortunately they have not said that there are similar provisions in the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPC because I believe pro - establishment colleagues have indirectly admitted that Hong Kong is more democratic than Mainland China
這樣我們就是多數派、建制派，而他們就是反對派。
In this sense we should be in the majority and regarded as the pro - establishment camp while the current pro - establishment camp should be the opposition camp
莫乃光議員，請繼續發言。
Mr Charles Peter MOK please continue with your speech
代理主席，我剛才談到，議員在外訪時發覺當地議會沒有"拉布"，原因是國家奉行民主制度，有權力分享，但香港則沒有，這才是導致"拉布"的根本原因。
Deputy President as I just said Members found during overseas visit that filibusters had not taken place in these parliaments because these countries upheld a democratic system where powers were shared . But this is not the case in Hong Kong and this is the root cause of filibustering
香港沒有民主制度，也沒有政黨輪替，有的只是獲得多數票的議員和政黨反而在議會內佔少數議席和很少政治權力，所以人家的國會如此和諧。
Hong Kong has not upheld a democratic system and political parties do not take turns to become the ruling party . Members and political parties that got a majority of votes conversely have taken up fewer seats and have few political powers in this Council . This explains why overseas parliaments are so harmonious
他的智慧真的很高，與一般的建制派議員比較，例如那些只懂口舌之爭，罵人之後又收回指責、只會點算有多少罐午餐肉和批評別人躲懶的議員，石禮謙議員的水平真的很高。
Mr Abraham SHEK is really intelligent with a much higher level than other pro - establishment Members such as the Member who quarrelled with others hurled criticism and then withdrew his criticisms; or the Member who only cared about counting the number of cans of luncheon meat or criticizing others for being lazy
他們是因為把持着不公義、不公平的政治制度，所以才能奪得較多議席而成為多數派，變成議會內的建制派，而本來得票較多的黨派則變成少數派，這是全世界絕無僅有的。
Owing to the unjust and unfair political system they could win more seats and became the majority party and the pro - establishment camp in this Council; whereas the parties and groupings that got more votes have become the minority . This situation is rarely seen in the world
主席有否公正地執行《議事規則》，令我們認為議會或主席是值得尊重？
Has the President fairly enforced RoP so that we will respect this Council or the President?
以今次修訂《議事規則》為例，完全是乘人之危，明知有足夠票數通過才提出有關的議案，建制派和政府互相配合，大家對於整個過程也看得一清二楚。
In the case of the current exercise to amend RoP pro - establishment Members have taken advantage of other Members in difficulties . They proposed the relevant motions knowing very well that they have enough votes to get them passed and the Government would collude with them . The whole process is evident to all
這正是我們說這次是一項測試的原因，要測試的是"今日改《議事規則》，明天23條立法"，日後他們亦將以同樣的方法，不用辯論便通過《基本法》第二十三條。
This is exactly why we have said that Amending the Rules of Procedure today legislating for Article 23 tomorrow . In the future they will apply the same method to legislate for Article 23 of the Basic Law without having to conduct debates
林卓廷議員，請就廖長江議員的擬議決議案動議修訂議案。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting you may move your amending motion to Mr Martin LIAOs proposed resolution
主席，我動議講稿附錄的第22項修訂議案。
President I move the 22 amending motion as set out in the Appendix to the Script
主席，我動議講稿附錄的第9項修訂議案。
President I move the ninth amending motion as set out in the Appendix to the Script
主席，我們作為立法會議員，本來大家也應該感到無上光榮，因為能夠參與制定法律、審批公共開支和監察政府施政，是很有意義的工作。
President we should be greatly honoured to be Members of the Legislative Council for we can engage in the meaningful work of enacting law approving public expenditure and monitoring the Governments policy implementation
但是，近年來，立法會議員給普羅大眾的觀感真的非常差，一談及立法會，市民便會想起"拉布"、流會、吵架、扔東西。
However in recent years Legislative Council Members have really given a very bad impression to the public . Whenever the Legislative Council is mentioned members of the public will think of filibusters abortion of meetings quarrels throwing objects and so on and so forth
我作為議員，對於反對派令立法會淪落至現時的劣質化、流氓化、兒戲化，真的感到既無奈又痛心。
As a Member when seeing that the opposition camp has turned the Legislative Council into a state of inferiority hooliganism and trivialization I am really helpless and distressed
事實上，自從2011年個別議員利用《議事規則》的灰色地帶發動"拉布"後，立法會近年已深深陷入"拉布"的泥沼，甚至可以用瘋狂和失控來形容。
Actually since some Members have started to filibuster in 2011 by exploiting the grey areas in the Rules of Procedure RoP the Legislative Council has been bogged down in filibustering in recent years such that the situation can even be described as frantic and out of control
"拉布"的後果損害香港長遠的經濟和營商環境，以至社會民生的穩定發展。
The consequences of filibuster damage the long - term economic and business environment and even the stable development of society and livelihood of Hong Kong
我們看到鄰近城市急速發展，香港卻每天糾纏於政治爭拗，事事陰謀論、立場化，甚至很多關乎民生的教育和醫療政策也無法推行，相信所有愛香港的市民也感到很痛心。
While our neighbouring cities have been developing rapidly Hong Kong is entangled in political disputes every day . Every matter is interpreted by a conspiracy theory with distinctive stands such that many education and medical policies relating to peoples livelihood cannot be taken forward . I believe all members of the public who love Hong Kong are saddened
雖然反對派用很多歪理誤導公眾，指流會的責任在於建制派，但任由他們如何為"拉布"塗脂抹粉，也改變不到市民的觀感。
The opposition camp draws greatly on sophistry to mislead the public claiming that the pro - establishment camp should be held responsible for causing abortion of meetings; yet no matter how they whitewash filibustering they cannot change peoples perception
主席，針對這數年的亂局，建制派提出修改《議事規則》，限制議會"拉布"，希望可以糾正歪風。
President in light of the chaotic situation in these years the pro - establishment camp proposes to amend RoP for restricting filibusters in the Council with a view to rectifying the malady
建制派要求降低全體委員會的會議法定人數及提高提出呈請書的人數門檻，均屬合理的安排。
The lowering of the quorum for meetings of a committee of the whole Council and the raising of the threshold regarding the number of Members required for presenting petitions as requested by the pro - establishment camp are both sensible arrangements
我們亦同意，立法會會議因法定人數不足而休會時，立法會主席有權另擇時間開會，以處理未完成的事項。
We also agree that the President shall have the power to set an alternative meeting time to deal with the outstanding matters when a Council meeting is adjourned due to the lack of a quorum
我覺得這樣會令議會的運作更暢順，亦可以減低"拉布"導致流會的殺傷力。
I think this will facilitate a smoother operation of the Council and can reduce the harm of abortion of meeting caused by filibusters
另外，針對最近有反對派議員利用《議事規則》第881條，在無經預告下動議新聞界及公眾人士離場，我們建議日後如遇相同情況，亦需要主席許可才能提出議案。
Moreover in light of the recent exploitation of RoP 881 by an opposition Member to move a motion without notice that members of the press and of the public do withdraw we propose that the consent of the President shall be required for such motion to be moved in future
當然，我們提出的這些修訂並不能完全杜絕反對派的"拉布"空間，但我們真心希望通過修訂令議員可以適可而止，令議事堂變回開會的地方。
Certainly all these amendments proposed by us may not totally wipe out the room for filibustering of the opposition camp . However we truly hope the passage of these amendments will stop Members from going too far so that the Chamber can become a meeting place again
有人說，建制派在這個時候提出修改《議事規則》是偷襲和乘人之危，我認為這種說法非常不公道。
Some say that pro - establishment Members proposed amendment to RoP at this juncture is a sneak attack to take advantage of the opposition camps troubles . I think this is a very unfair remark
六位議員被"DQ"是鐵一般的事實，但這個局面是誰造成呢？
It is a hard fact that six Members were disqualified but who were the culprits of this predicament?
是否建制派拿着手槍威脅他們在宣誓時耍花樣呢？
Were they forced by pro - establishment Members at gunpoint to play tricks at the oath - taking ceremony?
誰教他們在宣誓時侮辱自己的國家和民族？
Who made them insult their country and people when taking oath?
事實上，他們被"DQ"咎由自取，與人無尤。
In fact their disqualification was nobodys fault but their own
如果建制派為了表現君子風度，而放棄在此時修改《議事規則》和撥亂反正，我覺得這樣是對不起全香港市民。
They have only themselves to blame . If the pro - establishment camp gives up amending RoP and bringing order out of chaos at this juncture for the sake of acting like gentlemen I think they have let all Hong Kong people down
這次修改《議事規則》關係到行政立法關係、立法會議事效率、特區政府能否有效依法施政，以及全體市民的根本利益，所以我們必須做。
The current amendment of RoP has a bearing on the executive - legislative relationship efficiency of Council proceedings the likelihood of the effective policy implementation by the SAR Government as well as the fundamental interests of all Hong Kong people . Thus we must act accordingly
修改立法會《議事規則》已經成為香港社會的主流共識。
Amending RoP of the Legislative Council has already become a mainstream consensus of Hong Kong society
如果無法修改《議事規則》，而立法會繼續對政府的每項議案"拉布"，香港將繼續沉淪。
If we fail to amend RoP the Legislative Council will continue to filibuster on each government motion consequently Hong Kong will continue to sink
主席，當然，我不期望反對派議員會支持我們的修訂，但我個人真心希望大家藉此機會反思一下，日後可否停止濫用"拉布"而透過溝通來化解矛盾。
President I surely do not expect that opposition Members will support our amendments . Nevertheless I truly hope that we will take this opportunity to reflect on whether it is possible to resolve conflicts through communication instead of filibusters in future
立法會議員的職責是監察政府，不是癱瘓政府；市民 期望我們開會，而不是製造流會。
It is the duty of Members of the Legislative Council to monitor the Government but not paralyse it; people expect us to attend meetings but not cause the abortion of meetings
如果大家可以多做實際的事，我相信已經是議會之福，也是市民之福。
If we can take more practical measures I trust it will bring benefits to both the Council and the public
主席，表決系統有問題。
President there is something wrong with the voting system
我的表決意向是"贊成"。
I voted in favour of the motion
陳克勤議員的表決意向為"贊成"。
Mr CHAN Hak - kan voted in favour of the motion
我命令若稍後就廖長江議員根據《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》第七十五條動議的擬議決議案或就廖長江議員的擬議決議案所提出的修訂議案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
I order that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of Mr Martin LIAOs proposed resolution moved under Article 75 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China or any amending motions thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
市民大眾從電視看到這幾天的立法會議事堂十分熱鬧，仿如在做"大戲"。
Members of the public can see through television broadcast the hustle and bustle of the Legislative Council Chamber these few days as Members have been putting on shows
反對派十分激動，經常在發言時把修改《議事規則》說成末日來臨般。
Members from the opposition camp are very agitated and often describe in their speeches the amendment of the Rules of Procedure RoP as the doomsday
他們恐嚇市民，指修改《議事規則》會剝奪立法會監察政府的權力，立法會將會"人大化"，又聲稱修改《議事規則》違反《基本法》，破壞"一國兩制"，立法會會出現危機，甚至說香港會產生獨裁政權。
They threaten that amending RoP will deprive the legislature of its power to monitor the Government such that the Legislative Council will be assimilated to the National Peoples Congress . They also claim that amending RoP contravenes the Basic Law and ruins one country two systems thus the Legislative Council will be in crisis . They even say that Hong Kong will be under a dictatorial regime
很多市民可能聽得莫名其妙，甚至感到煩厭。
Many members of the public may find such remarks baffling or even disgusting
