主席，這份財政預算案是新任財政司司長陳茂波先生發表的第一份預算案，我希望這不是他最後一份預算案。
President this Budget is the first Budget prepared by Mr Paul CHAN the new Financial Secretary and I hope it is not his last budget
根據香港大學民意研究計劃的調查結果，市民對今年預算案的評分是55.7分，而對陳茂波的個人評分亦較他之前出任發展局局長時為高，可見市民對本預算案的反應相當正面。
According to the findings of a survey conducted by the Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong the rating for this years Budget is 55.7 and Paul CHAN has attained a higher popularity rating than that when he was the Secretary for Development meaning that the publics response to this Budget is positive
我亦很感謝和歡迎司長編寫這份內容豐富的預算案，但是，"沒有最好，只有更好"，我們要不斷向前，努力建設，與時並進。
I also thank and appreciate the Financial Secretary for preparing a content - rich Budget . However there is always room for further improvement . We must make continuous effort to move forward and work hard to keep abreast of the times
這份預算案跟施政報告相當吻合。
The Budget basically follows the direction of the Policy Address
主席，今年的預算案雖然減少了"派糖"，由去年的388億元減至351億元，但大家細心想想，政府並非需要經常"派糖"，事有輕重緩急之分，我認為政府現時已做得不錯，但有幾點我很希望與局長分享，或許他可以給予更大關注。
President although the candies handed out in this years Budget has been reduced from last years 38.8 billion to 35.1 billion we have to realize upon careful consideration that the Government needs not hand out candies all the time . Work should be done in order of importance and urgency . I think the Government has done a rather good job but there are a few points I would like to share with the Secretary and perhaps he can pay more attention to them
一份良好的預算案，應該關心社會上資源如何運用，照顧社會的不同層面，包括長者和青少年，當然亦要照顧低下階層，而夾心階層也不容忽視。
A good budget should focus on how resources are distributed in society to take care of various social strata including the elderly and the youth the grass roots certainly and the sandwich class should not be neglected as well
為企業打造前路時，政府在政策上施以援手和給予指引，亦至為重要。
When laying the path for future development of enterprises the Government should formulate policies to provide assistance and guidelines which is very important
香港是一個以金融和貿易為主的地方，照顧大企業在所難免，但亦不能忽略中小企，因為香港的經貿以中小企為主。
Since Hong Kongs economy relies heavily on finance and trading it is inevitable that the Government tends to favour the big enterprises . However small and medium enterprises should not be neglected as they play a very important role in Hong Kongs financial and trading industries
因此，我希望就今年預算案的內容，跟司局長分享4點。
Therefore as regards the contents of this years Budget I wish to share four points with the Financial Secretary
第一是敬老感恩；第二是活化強制性公積金；第三是扶持青年人，但青年人亦須懂得承擔；第四是減少社會撕裂，而縫合傷口則需要愛與包容。
First respect the elderly and be grateful; second revitalize the Mandatory Provident Fund MPF scheme; third support the youth but the youth should also shoulder responsibilities; and fourth alleviate social dissension and mend the wounds with love and tolerance
首先，我原則上支持全民退休保障計劃，覺得這個概念不錯，但如何落實？
First of all I support the implementation of a universal retirement protection scheme in principle . The concept is good but how should the scheme be implemented?
就目前政府提出的多支柱退休模式而言，即包括多層的社會保障、強積金、自願儲蓄，以及其他方面的公共服務，這些範疇和方向均是正確的，但須予以優化。
In respect of the multi - pillar retirement protection model proposed by the Government which consists of a multi - level social security system MPF voluntary savings as well as other areas of public services the scope and direction are right but refinement is needed
現時長者生活津貼惠及超過44萬人，差不多佔整體長者人口的四成，還有六成人未能惠及。
At present the Old Age Living Allowance benefits over 440 000 people representing almost 40 % of the entire elderly population but 60 % have not been benefited
如果我們可以令長者有更佳的生活保障，最低限度一步步向前走，將來他們不用擔心，青年人亦無須憂慮他們日後的生活，最後誰有得着呢？
If we can give the elderly better protection of their livelihood and at least make advancement step by step then they need not worry about their future and young people also need not worry about their future living . If so who will benefit in the end?
我們的父母日後如蒙主寵召，他們不能把錢帶上天堂，最後還是留給子女享受，為人子女者根本無須擔心。
When our parents are called back by God they cannot bring their money with them to heaven but leave it all to their children . Hence we have nothing to worry about
第二，我想跟大家談談活化強積金的問題。
Second I would like to talk about revitalizing MPF
司長，我們都要作出強積金供款，但戶口有多少錢，我從來都沒興趣理會，很多人則沒有時間理會。
Financial Secretary we all have to make contributions to MPF . I do not care how much money I have in my MPF account while many others do not have the time to manage their accounts
但是，錢要用得其所，我們要大方，但亦不能浪費。
The money should be wisely and appropriately spent . We must be generous but not be wasteful
現在香港已有15年免費教育，3年幼稚園學費津貼。
Hong Kong already provides 15 years of free education and provides subsidy to cover the tuition fees of three years of kindergarten
二十年來，原來UGC為大學生承擔了80%的大學學費，真是有沒有"搞錯"？
For 20 years UGC has borne 80 % of the tuition fees of all university students . What has gone wrong?
再說，如果我們不愛國家、不愛社會、不愛自己人，我們還愛誰？
Moreover if we do not love our country society and our fellow people who else do we love?
昨天我們看到一則新聞，UA的乘客被人拖落飛機，這是美國精神嗎，還是世界精神？
I read a piece of news yesterday about a passenger of the United Airlines being dragged out of the plane by force . Was it the American spirit or the world spirit?
我覺得世界要有更大的包容，中國人的標準是"有容乃大"，"老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼"，希望我們這方面可以做得更好。
I think the world needs more tolerance . According to the Chinese standard tolerance is a virtue and one should respect the elderly in their family and extend the same respect to those in other families; take care of their children and extend the same care to those of others . I hope that we can do better in this respect
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：《私營骨灰安置所條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now put the question to you and that is That the Private Columbaria Bill be read the Second time
《私營骨灰安置所條例草案》。
Private Columbaria Bill
主席，《私營骨灰安置所條例草案》因上屆立法會有議員"拉布"而未能恢復二讀辯論，我和自由黨都感到十分可惜。
President the Second Reading debate on the Private Columbaria Bill the Bill was not resumed in the last term of the Legislative Council because of the filibuster staged by some Members; the Liberal Party and I found this regrettable
現時市場上關於骨灰安置所的信息非常混亂，不時傳出立法後供應劇減，以致私營骨灰龕位售價會越來越貴，所以有必要盡快通過《條例草案》。
At present confusing messages on columbaria have been circulated in the market . Rumour has it that the supply of niches will be substantially reduced after the enactment of legislation hence the selling prices of private niches have been surging . So it is essential to pass the Bill as soon as possible
作為兩屆相關法案委員會的委員，我必須多謝兩屆法案委員會的主席，還有勞苦功高的食物及衞生局首席助理秘書長黃淑嫻女士，當然還有法律顧問和秘書。
As a member of the related Bills Committee in the last and current term I have to thank the Chairmen of the two Bills Committees and Miss Diane WONG Principal Assistant Secretary for Food and Health for her hard work and contribution; my gratitude will certainly include the Legal Adviser and the Clerks
主席，自由黨歡迎《條例草案》，為香港私營龕場提供法律框架和發牌制度，加以規管。
President the Liberal Party welcomes the Bill which provides a legal framework and a licensing system to regulate private columbaria in Hong Kong
事實上，這是一項全新的法例，牽連甚廣，而且頗為複雜，兩屆法案委員會花了接近3年時間進行討論。
In fact this is a piece of new legislation with wide coverage and great complexity . The Bills Committees of the two terms have spent nearly three years to carry out discussions
政府今次提交的《條例草案》與上屆提交的內容大致相同，只是把上次的547項全體委員會審議階段修正案，全部先加入《條例草案》內。
The contents of the Bill introduced by the Government are roughly the same as the Former Bill introduced in the last term except that the previous 547 Committee stage amendments have entirely been incorporated into this Bill
過去本港欠缺監管私營龕場，以致有關場所在社區不斷擴展，不知不覺衍生許多民生問題。
As there was a lack of regulation of private columbaria in Hong Kong these columbaria have been expanding in the community giving rise to many livelihood problems without our being aware of them
因此，我們有必要正視和處理有關問題。
Therefore it is necessary for us to face up to and deal with the problems
過去，我曾在許多場合指出，委任退休法官擔任上訴委員會的 成員是適當及可取的做法。
I have mentioned on various occasions that it is appropriate and desirable to appoint retired judges as panel members of the Appeal Board
我們仍然未知道，有多少個私營龕場最終會因補地價問題、業權改變等而要結束營辦，繼而會否導致大量龕位需要遷移。
We still do not know how many private columbaria will eventually have to cease operation because of premium issues and changes in property ownership etc and whether this will consequently lead to the displacement of a large number of niches
上述都是《條例草案》的最大隱憂。
These are the biggest hidden worries concerning the Bill
我奉勸當局必須未雨綢繆，對於一旦未能通過發牌條件而結業的龕場，政府必須設立有效的機制，提供足夠的暫託龕位，協助市民解決龕場結業後的骨灰安置問題。
I advise the Administration to plan ahead . In case some columbaria have to cease operation for non - compliance with the licensing requirements the Government must set up an effective mechanism to provide adequate temporary niches so as to resolve the ash disposal problem faced by the public after the closure of columbaria
政府亦要研究，一旦出現私營龕場結業而對消費者造成損失時，如何讓消費者有效追討損失。
The Government should also consider how consumers can effectively recover losses when private columbaria cease operation
自由黨建議，政府可以仿效破產欠薪保障基金，向經營者收取一定費用成立基金，墊支消費者需支付費用的一定比例，使他們能夠安置先人的骨灰。
The Liberal Party suggests that the Government should set up a fund from levies collected from operators as in the case of the Protection of Wages on Insolvency Fund . Money from the fund can be used to pay a certain percentage of costs payable by consumers to relocate their ancestors ashes
歸根究底，單靠這項《條例草案》不足以解決現時龕位嚴重短缺的問題，當局必須履行承諾，興建足夠的公營龕位，滿足不同市民的需求。
After all the Bill alone cannot sufficiently resolve the problem of a serious shortage of columbaria at present . The Administration must honour the commitment to build adequate public niches to meet the needs of different people
當局多年前承諾以地區為本處理有關問題，即"區區都有龕場"，並指已經在18區物色到24幅用地，可供發展龕場。
The Administration promised years ago to deal with the problem on a regional basis by building columbarium in every district . According to the Administration 24 sites have been identified in 18 districts for the development of columbaria
食物及衞生局局長高永文早前指出，經過多輪技術性評估及諮詢區議會，14個選址已有進展，估計可以合共提供59萬個新龕位。
As pointed out by Secretary for Food and Health Dr KO Wing - man earlier after a few rounds of technical assessment and consultation with District Councils progress has been made on 14 sites and it is estimated that a total of 590 000 new niches can be provided
我當然歡迎有關進度，但事實證明"區區都有龕場"的目標難以落實。
I certainly welcome the progress but it has been proved by facts that the objective of building columbarium in every district can hardly be achieved
所以，我認為當局應 該加強綠色殯葬服務的推廣工作，讓更多市民接受和使用有關服務，從而減輕對龕位的需求。
Therefore I think the Administration should enhance the promotion of green burial so that more people would accept and use such services thereby reducing the demand for niches
最後，我想總結自由黨對數位議員提出的修正案的看法。
Finally I would like to summarize the views of the Liberal Party on the amendments proposed by a few Members
其實，4位議員的修正案大同小異，主要都是想擴闊有資格領取骨灰人士的定義。
In fact the amendments proposed by the four Members are similar and they mainly seek to broaden the definition of those eligible to claim for the return of ashes
張超雄議員和羅冠聰議員的修正案比較具體，目的都是讓在香港以外的司法管轄區與死者締結婚姻、民事伴侶或民事結合的同性伴侶，合資格提出要求領回死者的骨灰。
The amendments of Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Mr Nathan LAW are more specific and they seek to allow a deceased persons same - sex partner in a marriage civil partnership or civil union in any jurisdiction outside Hong Kong be eligible to claim for the return of the deceased persons ashes
張超雄議員更在"親屬"的定義加入上述寫法，間接令香港法律出現承認同性婚姻為親屬關係的缺口。
Dr Fernando CHEUNG adds the above to the definition of relative which will indirectly create a gap as this implies that the law of Hong Kong recognizes same - sex marriage as a relationship
無論如何，兩位議員的修正案，均明顯與香港社會共識及一夫一妻制的婚姻基礎相違背。
In any case the amendments of the two Members are evidently contrary to the consensus of our society and the monogamous marriage system in Hong Kong
此外，我同意政府的說法，根據《條例草案》現有條文，在香港以外地方與死者結婚的同性伴侶，已可藉a "獲授權代表"、b "遺產代理人"或c "安放權的買方"的身份提出申索，要求交還死者的骨灰，而有關身份不需要申索人與死者有任何血緣或婚姻關係。
In addition I agree with the Government that under the existing provisions of the Bill if a same - sex partner married the deceased outside Hong Kong heshe is entitled to claim for the return of the deceaseds ashes in the capacity of a an authorized representative b a personal representative or c the purchaser of interment rights and the claimant does not need to be a relative of the deceased by blood or marriage
食物環境衞生署署長亦可行使酌情權，按其認為合適的任何方式，處置該等骨灰，包括把骨灰交給與死者在香港以外地方結婚的同性伴侶等。
The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene may also exercise discretion to dispose of such ashes in any manner which he thinks fit including passing the ashes to the same - sex partner who married the deceased outside Hong Kong
其實，政府今次已經多行一步，提出修正案，加入"相關人士"為"訂明申索人"的新增類別，為《條例草案》提供更多彈性，利便更多與死者相關的人士，包括同性伴侶，領回死者相關物品連同骨灰。
As a matter of fact the Government has taken a step further and proposed an amendment to include a related person as a prescribed claimant to provide greater flexibility to the Bill so as to facilitate the collection of the deceaseds articles and ashes by people associated with the deceased including same - sex partners
至於當局把"相關人士"定義為a在緊接該死者逝世的日期前，與該死者在同一住戶內生活的人；及b在該日期前，與該死者在同一住戶內生活最少2年的人，我和自由黨也認為是折衷的做法，避免了過闊的定義。
The Administration has defined a related person as a person who a was living with the deceased person in the same household immediately before the date of the death of the deceased person; and b had been living with the deceased person in the same household for at least two years before that date . The Liberal Party and I think that this is a compromising approach that avoids an excessively broad definition
作為一個看守政府，只餘下數個月時間，這是無可厚非的，無謂騎劫下一屆政府推行某些政策。
As a caretaker government with only a few months left this is justifiable as there is no reason to hijack the next government to implement certain policies
當然，這個政府在政治行動上卻絕非看守，反而非常積極，但在經濟、社會政策方面則不然。
Of course in respect of political actions the current Government is by no means a caretaker government as it is very proactive though it acts contrarily in regard to economic and social policies
唯一的新內容是在我所屬的資訊科技界或科技發展方面，預留100億元支援香港的創科發展，但卻沒有提供詳情。
The only new content is related to the information technology IT sector to which I belong or technological development . A sum of 10 billion is reserved for supporting innovation and technology IT development in Hong Kong but details are not provided
成立創新、科技發展與"再工業化"委員會，只是成立多一個委員會。
Setting up a committee on IT development and re - industrialization is merely having one more committee
問題是遠水不能救近火，現在該怎麼辦？
The problem is that distant water cannot put out a nearby fire what can be done now?
第一，科技人才培訓力度不足。
First insufficient training of technology talent
老實說，不僅是科技人才，全香港所有人才培訓的新措施和支援同樣不足。
To be honest not only technology talent but the training of all kinds of talent in Hong Kong is insufficient in terms of new measures and support
今次預算案沒有任何措施幫助在職人士進修，自我提升科技技能。
This Budget has not proposed any measures to help working people pursue continuing education for self - enhancement of technological skills
第二，缺乏措施吸引公司落戶香港，並且令香港的科技企業走出去。
Second there is a lack of measures to attract companies to settle in Hong Kong and enable technology enterprises in Hong Kong to go global
政府說的"走出去"，似乎一定是向北，其實很多曾經北上的公司也表示問題相當多。
For the Government it seems that go global inevitably means go northward . In fact many companies which have gone northward have indicated that there are many problems
即使有河套區這個神仙棒，也要等十年八載才見成效。
Even if we have the magic wand of the Loop the results could only be seen in 8 to 10 years
早前的施政報告或現時的預算案，有否撥出更多資源研究共享經濟、金融科技、無人機的法規、自動輔助駕駛技術、啟動開放數據，以及政府內部革新等？
In the Policy Address announced earlier or this Budget has more resources been allocated to conduct studies in areas such as sharing economy financial technologies regulations on unmanned aircraft systems autopilot techniques open data development and the internal reform of the Government?
一方面，我認為新加坡的預算案有很多地方可供借鏡；另一方面，它令我反思，為何香港人、香港議會、香港傳媒不參考一下其他國家的做法？
On the one hand I think there are many initiatives in Singapores budget that we can draw reference from; and on the other hand I cannot help but wonder why Hong Kong people the legislature and the media in Hong Kong do not make reference to the approaches of other countries
我認為整個社會應該反思一下。
I think the whole community should reflect on that
代理主席，創新及科技局這幾天正在舉行多項大型活動，前3天在會展舉行了多個論壇，我在財務委員會提問時問及所花費的700多萬元。
Deputy President the Innovation and Technology Bureau held a number of major events these few days and some forums were held at the Convention and Exhibition Centre over the past three days . I asked a question at a Finance Committee meeting about the expenditure of more than 7 million on these events
下星期還有多個關乎資訊科技方面的論壇或項目。
A number of forums or events relating to information technology will be held next week
金錢也是其次，時間反而最重要。
Money is secondary the time factor is more important
二十年前，甚至30年前，外國城市已經採用這些措施。
Some foreign cities have already adopted these measures 20 years or even 30 years ago
運輸署最近設立數個泊車停車咪錶以進行測試，除可使用八達通以外，更可以其他信用卡付款。
The Transport Department has recently installed a number of parking meters for testing . In addition to using Octopus users can pay with credit cards
這樣做對學校也有好處。
This is also good for schools
主席，香港地少人多，骨灰安置設施相對缺乏，成為廣受社會關注的議題。
President given the large population and scarcity of land in Hong Kong the relative shortage of columbarium facilities is an issue of wide public concern
我過往曾在不同場合，包括參與城市規劃委員會的審批工作，以及以區議員身份出席有關骨灰安置所諮詢會議，向有關當局表達對此議題的意見和關注。
In the past I had expressed my views and concerns on this issue to the authorities in different capacities including as a member of the Town Planning Board in vetting and approving applications and as a member of the District Council in attending consultative meetings to collect views on columbaria
適合興建骨灰安置所的選址不多，亦往往遇到選址所在社區的居民反對，無論對公營及私營營辦商而言，均造成不少困難。
Sites suitable for building columbaria are few and decisions to build them are often met with oppositions from residents of the districts where the chosen sites are located . These factors have presented difficulties to both public and private columbarium operators
如果有骨灰安置所的擬議規劃既能夠與周邊環境相協調，又不會對當區居民的日常生活造成太大干擾，更在交通方面具備相當的配套設施，在項目可行性及社區兼容性上也有所交代，有關當局則應從滿足社會需求的角度，審慎支持相關規劃申請。
If a proposed plan to build a columbarium is compatible with the surroundings; will not cause too much interference with the daily lives of the local residents; will be supported by adequate ancillary transport facilities; and is justified in terms of project feasibility and compatibility with the community the authorities should consider the planning application from the perspective of meeting the social needs and render prudent support
至於特區政府提出《私營骨灰安置所條例草案》的主要目的，是用作存放經火化人類遺骸的私營骨灰安置所的領牌事宜，包括就設立私營骨灰安置所發牌委員會訂定條文，以及就其他條例作出相應的修訂。
The main purpose of the Private Columbaria Bill the Bill tabled by the SAR Government is to provide for the licensing of private columbaria for keeping ashes resulting from the cremation of human remains including the establishment of the Private Columbaria Licensing Board ; and provide for consequential amendments to other Ordinances
《條例草案》有助於規管私營骨灰安置所，加強保障消費者，社會上對此並沒有太大實質爭議。
The Bill will help to regulate private columbaria and enhance consumer protection and there are not many substantial disputes about the Bill in the community
令人意想不到的是， 《條例草案》在立法會的審議竟然經歷一番波折。
Surprisingly there had been twists and turns in the scrutiny of the Bill at the Legislative Council
因應法案委員會的審議結果，政府當局合共提出了547項全體委員會審議階段修正案。
In response to the deliberations of the Former Bills Committee the Administration submitted a total of 547 Committee stage amendments CSAs
2014年《條例草案》恢復二讀辯論、全體委員會審議階段及三讀程序原本已列入2016年7月6日及13日的立法會會議議程，但因為當時本會部分議員"拉布"而未及審議，並隨着上屆立法會任期完結而失效，一切需要推倒重來。
The resumption of the Second Reading debate Committee stage and Third Reading of the Former Bill were put on the Agendas of the Council meetings of 6 and 13 July 2016 . Nevertheless owing to the filibustering of some Members the deliberation had not been completed and the Former Bill lapsed upon the prorogation of the previous term of the Legislative Council
本屆立法會啟動後，政府當局再次努力，在去年11月向本會重新提交《條例草案》。
After the commencement of the current - term Legislative Council the Administration made another attempt and reintroduced the Bill into this Council in November last year
《條例草案》是以2014年《條例草案》為藍本，並且收納所有上述修正案，以及作出技術性修訂。
The Bill is based on the Former Bill and incorporates all the aforesaid CSAs . Some technical amendments are also made
本會成立了新的法案委員會，而我亦作為本屆委員參與審議工作。
A new Bills Committee is formed and being a member of the Bills Committee I have participated in the scrutiny of the Bill
法案委員會曾與政府舉行了8次會議，並且接獲一些社會團體和人士的書面意見，最終支持於本次立法會會議恢復《條例草案》的二讀辯論。
The Bills Committee held eight meetings with the Government and received written views from some community groups and members of the public . The Bills Committee eventually supported the resumption of the Second Reading debate of the Bill at this Council meeting
從《條例草案》的內容來看，當局確實考慮了兩屆法案委員會表達的主要關注，並且對原先的部分修正案作出了進一步修正。
From the contents of the Bill it is well evident that the authorities have considered the main concerns of the Bills Committees of the two terms and made further amendments to the original CSAs
例如當局已施加嚴格規定，把截算前的骨灰安置所不合法佔用未批租土地及/或違反租契的情況規範化。
For example stringent requirements have been imposed for the regularization of unlawful occupation of unleashed land andor lease breach by pre - cut - off columbaria
換言之，對於那些緊接截算時間，即2014年6月18日上午8時前正在營辦的骨灰安置所提出的規範化申請，政府會視乎每宗個案而按其情況處理，亦會採取執法行動對付違規的私營骨灰安置所。
In other words applications for regularization by private columbaria that were in operation immediately before the cut - off time of 8col00 am on 18 June 2014 will be processed on a case - by - case basis having regard to their individual merits and enforcement actions will also be taken against non - compliant columbaria by the Government
又例如，由於可疑的經營手法層出不窮，《條例草案》規定截算前的骨灰安置所登記冊須載有發牌委員會指明的詳情，旨在令發牌委員會能夠靈活處理一些無法預見的情況。
Another example is that in view of the endless dubious operation practices the Bill requires the registers of pre - cut - off columbaria to contain the particulars specified by the Licensing Board so that it can flexibly deal with unforeseen circumstances
主席，關於政府當局與本屆法案委員會部分委員現時仍然存在的一些分歧，可見於數位議員提出的修正案內容，主要是圍繞骨灰處置過程中"相關人士"的定義及骨灰申索的優先權。
President the divergent views between the Administration and some members of the Bills Committee of this term are reflected in the CSAs proposed by some Members . The differences are mainly related to the definition of related person and the priority of claim for the return of ashes in the process of disposing ashes
根據《條例草案》附表5第62條，"訂明申索人就死者的骨灰而言，指獲授權代表、遺產代理人或親屬，亦指安放權的買方"。
Under section 62 of Schedule 5 to the Bill a prescribed claimant in relation to the ashes of a deceased person means an authorized representative; a personal representative or relative; or the purchaser of the interment right
為進一步利便把骨灰交還與死者相關人士，政府建議動議一項修正案，在該第6條條文加入"相關人士"，作為訂明申索人的新增類別。
With a view to further facilitating the return of ashes to relevant persons related to the deceased the Government proposes to move a CSA to add related person as an additional category of prescribed claimant under section 6 of Schedule 5 to the Bill
正如當局向本屆法案委員會解釋，政府在為"相關人 士"下定義以至日後核實"相關人士"的安排，都會參考其他現行法例。
As the authorities have explained to the Bills Committee the Government will make reference to other existing legislation in formulating the definition of related person and in verifying the status of a related person
同時，根據《條例草案》的現有條文，在香港以外地方與死者結婚的同性伴侶已可藉"獲授權代表"等身份提出申索，而有關身份並不需要申索人與死者有任何血緣或婚姻關係，無須進一步按幾位議員的建議修訂"相關人士"或"親屬"的定義。
Besides under the existing provisions of the Bill a same - sex partner married at a place outside Hong Kong may already claim for the return of the ashes of the deceased person in the capacity of an authorized representative which does not require the claimant to have any connection with the deceased person by blood or marriage . Thus it is not necessary to amend the definitions of related person or relative as proposed by the Members
因為此舉會引起社會極大的爭議，而《條例草案》並非處理這方面爭議的適當平台。
Amending the definitions will cause great controversies in society and a debate on the Bill is not an appropriate platform to deal with such controversies
另一方面，《條例草案》附表5第95條已訂明"相關人士"在訂明申索人中，骨灰申索優先權的次序。
Furthermore section 95 of Schedule 5 to the Bill has already provided the priority of claim of a related person for the return of ashes among claims of prescribed claimants
有意見認為，如果相關人士獲認為是獲授權代表便會擁有最高的優先權。
Some people are of the view that if a related person is considered as an authorized representative the claim will have the highest priority
