我認為只有約3萬個住宅單位的確太少，浪費了這幅黃金地段土地。
I think the number of units to be provided is really too small and is a waste of this site sitting on prime location
政府有沒有空間透過改劃部分土地用途、調高地積比率或加快發展步伐等，讓更多市民盡快擁有他們的安樂窩呢？
Is there room for the Government to modify the land use of part of the site increase the plot ratio or accelerate the pace of development so that more people can have a decent place to live as soon as possible?
另一方面，我亦留意到在現時的規劃中，有多幅用地列作"認可殯葬區"，其中有兩幅更鄰近住宅用地。
On the other hand I have also noticed that under the existing planning many sites are listed as permitted burial grounds two of which are even close to the sites for residential development
究竟這種規劃是否合理？
Is this kind of planning reasonable?
是否有空間作出調整，將有關的殯葬區集中在鄰近郊野公園的邊陲用地？
Is there room for adjustments to relocate the permitted burial grounds to the periphery of the nearby country parks?
以上建議旨在拋磚引玉，最重要的是當局應和持份者有充分溝通，並平衡發展與保育的需要，真正做到地盡其用。
The above suggestions are intended to attract other valuable opinions . Most importantly the authorities should maintain adequate communication with the stakeholders balance the needs of development and conservation and truly utilize the land resources to the fullest
說到殯葬區，過去的經驗教訓實實在在放在眼前，我所指的是鄰近羅湖口岸"沙嶺超級殯葬城"的爭議。
Speaking of the permitted burial grounds the lesson learnt from past experience is right in front of us what I mean was the dispute arisen from the Sandy Ridge Super Cemetery City near the Lo Wu Control Point
事實上，早年未有大灣區的概念，所以單從香港自身出發作規劃是可以理解的。
Given that no one had any concept of GBA in the early years it is understandable that planning back then was made according to the needs of Hong Kong only
然而，大灣區發展近年已提升至國家發展策略層面，新界邊境用地的價值今非昔比，現時可望打造成為大灣區"1小時生活圈"的核心部分。
However in recent years the development of GBA has escalated to the level of a national development strategy . The prices of land along the border of the New Territories can hardly be compared with those in the past and currently and it is hoped that such land will be developed as the core of the one - hour living circle of GBA
因此，政府在規劃時繼續單純從香港角度及內部需要出發，已是落後於大形勢。
Thus the Government will be lagging behind the major trend if it continues to draw up plans purely from the perspective of Hong Kong and our internal needs
政府應採用大灣區思維，以產生"一加一大於二"的協同效應。
The Government should adopt a GBA mentality so as to produce synergy of one plus one is greater than two
代理主席，發展規劃是人的工作，從來沒有一套永恆不變的方程式，所以主事官員要動腦筋，懂得變通，因時制宜，以發揮珍貴土地的最大價值。
Deputy President planning for development is a human job and there is no unchanging formula at all . Thus the officials in charge must think be flexible and adapt to the current conditions to make the best use of the precious land resources
還記得政府早年要求各政策局和部門，必須在政策文件中加入內地對政策的反應評估。
I remember that in the early years the Government required all Policy Bureaux and departments to include in their policy documents an assessment of the implication of policies on the Mainland
面對大灣區這個重大發展機遇，我建議在未來可以多走前一步，加入對大灣區發展的反應評估。
Faced with such an important development opportunity of GBA I suggest that we should take one step further in the future and include an assessment of the implication on the GBA development
這做法既有好處，亦可以發揮"探熱針"的作用，於較早階段了解政策是否跟大灣區發展對接；若存在矛盾，可以及早作出調整。
This is a good approach as it can serve as a thermometer to understand at an early stage whether the policy concerned ties in with the development of GBA . If there are conflicts adjustments can be made promptly
我希望政府可以好好考慮這項建議。
I hope that the Government can consider this proposal carefully
代理主席，隨着粵港澳大灣區的發展，香港新界北的發展將會越來越重要。
Deputy President with the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA the development of New Territories North in Hong Kong will become more and more important
新界北的發展既可以提供大量居住用地，協助解決居住困難的問題，同時亦因鄰近深圳而極可能成為香港企業進軍大灣區的橋頭堡。
The development of New Territories North will not only provide a vast area of residential land to help resolve the housing difficulties but will also become a bridgehead for Hong Kong enterprises to enter GBA due to its proximity to Shenzhen
此外，河套區港深創新及科技園發展亦將帶動深港兩地科技合作。
Besides the development of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park HSITP in the Lok Ma Chau Loop will facilitate the technological cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong
因此，新界北發展確實與香港息息相關。
Thus the development of New Territories North is closely related to Hong Kong indeed
政府計劃向立法會財務委員會申請7億9,000萬元開展新界北發展項目的規劃研究，涵蓋3個區域，其中有關佔地320公頃的新田/落馬洲發展樞紐的工作將率先展開，預計2025年施工，可提供3萬個單位及容納8萬名居民入住，而區內亦有科技、商業及娛樂用地，可創造64,000個職位。
The Government intends to apply to the Finance Committee FC of the Legislative Council for a funding of 790 million to commence the planning study on the New Territories North development project that covers three areas among which the work on the 320 - hectare San TinLok Ma Chau Development Node will commence first . The construction work is expected to commence in 2025 providing 30 000 residential flats that can accommodate 80 000 residents . The Development Node also reserves land for technology business and entertainment uses which can generate 64 000 job opportunities
至於其餘兩區，總面積達1,140公頃，能夠容納20萬人居住，並提供134,000個就業機會，預計將於下半年展開研究。
The other two development areas totalling 1 140 hectares could accommodate 200 000 population and provide 134 000 jobs . It is expected that the studies on the two areas will commence in the second half of the year
政府已向發展事務委員會介紹發展計劃。
The Government has already introduced the development plan to the Panel on Development
雖然委員同意今次計劃，但批評發展進度緩慢。
While Members agreed to the project they criticized the slow progress of development
事實上，不單前期可行性研究做得緩慢，現在我們看到整個土地發展和審批程序均做得甚緩慢。
In fact apart from the slow progress of the preliminary feasibility studies we also witnessed that the whole processes of land development and approval are also quite slow
回歸前，香港只用了少於10年便建成新機場、機場鐵路、三號幹線及東涌新市鎮；但今天，只是建設320公頃的新田/落馬洲發展樞紐，尚未包括其餘兩個面積更大的發展區，卻要花13年才可以遷入。
Before the return of sovereignty to China Hong Kong was able to complete the construction of the new airport Airport Express Route 3 and Tung Chung New Town in less than 10 years . Today we are only talking about the development of the 320 - hectare San TinLok Ma Chau Development Node not including the remaining two development areas which cover a larger area of land but it has to take 13 years before the intake can take place
事實上，立法會過去已多次向行政長官反映，政府土地發展規劃及審批過程緩慢。
In fact the Legislative Council has relayed to the Chief Executive over and over again that the planning for land development as well as vetting and approval process have been slow
行政長官亦表示會親自督導內部協調，確保所有相關政策局和部門排除萬難，加快土地供應。
The Chief Executive also said that she would personally steer the internal coordination to ensure that all the bureaux and departments concerned would overcome all difficulties to increase land supply
我們如此緊張，不僅因為 要解決居住問題，更因為新界北關乎大灣區及港深創新及科技園的發展，這些都是將來的經濟支柱。
We are so concerned about this not only because there is a need to resolve the housing problem but also because New Territories North is related to the development of GBA and HSITP which are all pillars of the economy in the future
香港過去一直因為政治爭拗而停滯不前，導致建設工程阻力重重。
In the past Hong Kong has remained stagnant due to political wrangling posing many obstacles to construction works
社會現在重回正軌，一些過時及不必要的流程可如何減省，只有政府部門才知道。
Our society has now got back on track . I think only the government departments know how outdated and unnecessary procedures can be cut
今時今日形勢已改變，希望局長利用他在發展局的經驗......我相信只有政府官員才知道，究竟該如何改動和要改動些甚麼才能夠令流程加快。
Situations have changed now . I hope that the Secretary will make use of his experience in the Development Bureau I believe only government officials know how and what changes can be made to speed up the processes
我曾聽很多人說以往建樓可能需時3年，但近數年的情況是可能花上7年也未成事。
I have heard many people saying that it might take three years to build a building in the past but in recent years the project may remain uncompleted even after seven years
我希望局長能夠真正大力作出改動，這樣對香港確實是一件大好事。
I hope that the Secretary can really exert great effort to make changes as this would be of great help to Hong Kong
香港與深圳之間的陸路出入境管制站，大部分位於新界北。
Most of the land control points along the boundary between Hong Kong and Shenzhen are located in New Territories North
目前深圳那一面的邊境已經發展成熟，但香港新界北這一邊仍然是一片荒蕪。
Currently the boundary area of Shenzhen has maturely developed while New Territories North in Hong Kong has remained barren
新界北完成發展後，將會成為香港與深圳的連接點，是人流、物流、商務及創科業的交匯中心。
Upon development New Territories North will become the connecting point between Hong Kong and Shenzhen and serve as a hub for the convergence of people goods flow business and innovation
隨着大灣區不斷發展，相信會吸引企業在新界北落腳，令新界北成為進入內地市場的橋頭堡，重要性可想而知。
With the continuous development of GBA it is believed that enterprises will be attracted to settle in New Territories North making it a bridgehead for entering the Mainland market . It is thus not difficult to imagine the importance of New Territories North
因此，政府在規劃時應該以此為發展重點，同時亦要保持與深圳方面溝通，做好配套工作，務求令新界北可以發揮接連兩地的橋樑作用。
Therefore the Government should put this as the focus of development in its planning and at the same time maintain communication with Shenzhen and work on the ancillary facilities so that New Territories North can play a bridging role between the two places
本港貧富懸殊相當嚴重，跨代貧窮亦極為普遍。
The disparity between the rich and the poor is very serious in Hong Kong and cross - generational poverty is also pretty common
政府一直透過種種扶貧措施協助貧窮的市民生活，同時透過教育上進的方式協助貧窮下一代脫貧。
The Government has been helping the poor to live through various poverty alleviation measures and at the same time alleviating poverty of the next generation through education
不過，隨着社會快速發展，經濟亦到了成熟階段，青年人上進的機會已大幅減少，故此貧窮下一代要靠自己脫貧基本上更為困難。
However with the rapid development of our society and the maturity of our economy opportunities for young people to move up the social ladder have been drastically reduced so it is basically more difficult for the next generation of poor to alleviate from poverty on their own
蔣麗芸議員今天提出設立"新生代基金"的議案，建議為18歲以下的兒童設立基金，並為所有兒童開設基金戶口。
Today Dr CHIANG Lai - wan proposed a motion on the setting up of a New Generation Fund . She proposes to set up a fund for children under the age of 18 so that all of them will have a fund account
這項議案是為貧窮兒童爭取權益，箇中心意值得佩服，所以在大方向上我是支持的。
This motion is about fighting for the rights of poor children
不過，在時間和落實方面，我相信有很多問題需要克服，因為一個如此大型的計劃，畢竟需要時間醞釀，包括詳細研究和民間的討論。
While I admire her goodwill and support the general direction I believe many problems in respect of timing and implementation must be overcome . After all it takes time before such a large - scale project can be carried out including the time for conducting detailed studies and public discussions
建議的基本概念絕對是好的，至於是否實際可行，其中一個重要因素是要看政府的帳目是否可行，因為基金將要令政府承擔巨額開支，而且是一項長期的承擔。
The basic concept of the proposal is definitely good . As to whether it is practicable one of the important factors is the financial viability of the Government as the Fund will incur a heavy financial commitment and is a long - term one as well
不過，很可惜，現在不是合適的時間。
However unfortunately this is not the right time
由於"黑暴"和疫情的關係，政府出現歷史上最嚴重的赤字，而且更會 持續5年。
As a result of the black - clad violence and the epidemic the Government has recorded the worst deficit in history which will last for five years
在資源緊絀下，現時要政府研究設立一個持續性的供款基金，恐怕亦是強其所難。
Given the resource constraints it would be difficult for the Government to explore the setting up of a sustainable contributory fund
另一個要考慮的問題，是香港市民的接受程度。
Another issue to be considered is the acceptability of Hong Kong people
我相信很多父母都會認同成立基金的大原則，就是為子女儲蓄以應付將來的需要，而這原本亦是父母的責任。
I believe many parents will agree with the general principle of setting up the Fund that is to save for the future needs of their children which originally is the responsibility of parents
不過，如果需要作持續性供款，則會牽涉到需要動用龐大的公共財政資源等問題，這可能需要作更多思考。
However if there is a need to make continuous contributions it will involve the use of huge public financial resources and this may warrant more thought
再者，中產甚至富裕家庭是否都要參加；政府需要供款多少；父母要供款多少才享有若干免稅額，以及該如何計算才能免供款，這些社會都需要進行很深入的辯論，亦相信難以達致某程度的共識。
Furthermore the questions on whether all middle - class and even well - off families should participate; how much the Government should contribute; how much parents should contribute before they are entitled to certain tax allowances and how much is needed to be exempted from contributions will require in - depth discussions in the community and it is unlikely for a certain degree of consensus to be reached
總括而言，成立"新生代基金"在大方向上值得社會考慮。
All in all the general direction of setting up the New Generation Fund is worthy of consideration by the community
代理主席，感謝劉國勳議員提出"以口岸經濟帶動新界北發展"議案和姚思榮議員的修正案。
Deputy President I would like to thank Mr LAU Kwok - fan for proposing the motion on Driving the development of New Territories North with port economy and Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing the amendment
剛才不少議員就香港的創科發展，特別是如何配合新界北規劃，提出了不少寶貴意見。
Just now quite a number of Members presented many valuable views on the development of innovation and technology IT in Hong Kong especially how it can dovetail with the planning of New Territories North
以下我會就議員關注的數個範疇，作出重點回應。
In the following I will focus my response on the several areas of concern raised by the Members
創新及科技是香港的發展新動力，能帶來新的產業及創造財富，推動本港經濟增長和創造優質的就業機會，提升香港的競爭力。
IT is the new driving force for Hong Kongs development bringing new industries and creating wealth boosting Hong Kongs economic growth and creating quality employment opportunities as well as enhancing the competitiveness of Hong Kong
我們預計，本港對科研和新工業用地的需求將會大大增加。
We anticipate a significant increase in the demand for sites for research and development RD and new industrial uses in Hong Kong
政府重視創科的長遠發展，並積極覓地配合，為業界提供所需的土地和發展空間。
The Government attaches great importance to the long - term development of IT and actively identifies land to provide the necessary operating space for the development of the industry
現時已預留作創科用途的土地，包括短、中、長期發展的用地。
Presently land reserved for IT uses include sites for short medium and long - term development
首先，政府正全力發展落馬洲河套地區為港深創新及科技園，目標是聯繫全球頂尖企業、研發機構和高等院校建立科研合作基地，與世界各地優質的研究人才交流和合作。
First of all the Government is taking forward the development of the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park HSITP located in the Lok Ma Chau Loop the Loop in full swing . HSITP is aimed to establish a key base for cooperation in scientific research through converging the worlds top - tier enterprises RD institutions and higher education institutions for exchange and collaboration with excellent research talent all over the world
立法會財務委員會已於今年1月批准兩項河套地區的工務計劃項目的撥款，以期在河套地區進行土地平整及提供基礎設施，並於2月批准撥款以開展港深創科園第一批次發展。
In January this year the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council approved the funding for two works projects to carry out site formation and infrastructure works for the Loop development . In February it approved the funding for commencing Batch 1 development of HSITP
全面發展後的港深創科園將提供最多120萬平方米的總樓面面積，規模約為目前香港科學園的3倍，將會成為香港歷來最大的創科平台。
Upon its full development HSITP will provide a maximum gross floor area of 1.2 million sq m approximately three times the size of the existing Hong Kong Science Park and become Hong Kongs largest - ever IT platform
港深創科園會與對岸的深圳科創園區構建深港科技創新合作區。
HSITP and the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone on the other side of the river will form the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Co - operation Zone
國家於3月公布的《十四五規劃綱要》，首次提出支持香港建設國際創新科技中心，並把深港河套納入粵港澳4個重大合作平台之一，反映了中央對合作區的重視。
The Outline of the 14 Five - Year Plan promulgated by the country in March indicates for the first time support for Hong Kongs development into an international IT hub and the Shenzhen - Hong Kong Loop has been included as one of the four major platforms of cooperation between Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao . This highlights the importance the Central Authorities attaches to the Co - operation Zone
港深兩地政府正全力推進合作區的建設，實現"一區兩園"，發揮港深兩地優勢互補，助力大灣區建設國際科技創新中心。
The governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen are taking forward the development of the Co - operation Zone in full swing to establish one zone two parks and leverage the complementary advantages of both Hong Kong and Shenzhen with a view to developing the Greater Bay Area GBA into an international IT hub
特區政府亦期望合作區會成為口岸經濟帶的重要一環。
The SAR Government also expects the Co - operation Zone to become an essential component of the port economic belt
港深兩地政府已同意在港深創科園首批樓宇落成前，由科技園公司承租及管理深圳科創園區的部分地方，讓有興趣開展大灣區業務的機構和企業先落戶深圳福田。
The governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen have agreed that before the completion of the first batch of buildings in HSITP the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation will lease and manage certain areas of the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone so that the institutes and enterprises that are interested in starting their business in GBA can first establish their presence in Futian Shenzhen
港深兩地政府正積極跟進有關空間要求和運作需要等事宜，以期盡快敲定營運的模式以及相關財務安排。
The two governments are actively following up on the space and operational requirements in order to firm up the mode of operation and related financial arrangements as soon as possible
同時，科技園公司亦計劃在深圳科創園區承租及管理的地方設立提供資源、培訓以及交流3個重要功能的培訓服務中心，促進兩地交流並培養創科人才，協助香港的企業在大灣區拓展業務，配合國家"雙循環"的政策，發揮香港"引進來"、"走出去"的關鍵角色。
Meanwhile the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation also plans to set up a training services centre in the areas of the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone leased and managed by it . The centre will provide services covering three key functions of resources training and exchange thereby facilitating exchanges between Hong Kong and Shenzhen nurturing IT talent assisting Hong Kong enterprises in developing their business in GBA complementing the dual circulation policy of the country and enabling Hong Kong to play its critical role of attracting foreign investment and going global
為吸引更多人才、企業到合作區發展，港深兩地政府會繼續透過既定機制，共同制訂合作區的聯合政策，探索提供科研資源、資金及出入境等方面的便利流動及支援措施，並共同向外推廣雙方在創科方面的優勢，吸引國內外人才和企業落戶，攜手為合作區引入人才。
To attract more talent and enterprises including start - ups to the Co - operation Zone the governments of Hong Kong and Shenzhen will continue through the established mechanism to formulate joint policy for the Co - operation Zone and explore to provide facilitation and supportive measures in the aspects of RD resources capital and immigration . Both sides will also join hands in promoting their advantages in IT with a view to attracting talent and enterprises from Mainland and overseas to the Co - operation Zone . Apart from developing HSITP in the Loop the Government has also reserved land for IT development
除了在河套地區發展港深創科園，政府亦預留土地作創科發展，例如我們已於新田/落馬洲及蓮塘/香園圍分別預留土地作創科相關發展，詳細土地規劃及用途有待進一步研究。
For example we have reserved land in both San TinLok Ma Chau and LiantangHeung Yuen Wai for IT related development . Details of the land planning and uses are to be further studied
我們的初步構思是將在蓮塘/香園圍口岸附近面積約56公頃的相關土地以工業邨模式發展。
We preliminarily intend to adopt the development mode of industrial estates for the relevant land of around 56 hectares near LiantangHeung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point
該批土地鄰近口岸，亦有助內地與香港兩地人員以及貨運往來。
Given the proximity of the land to the boundary control point this will facilitate the movement of people and goods between the Mainland and Hong Kong
至於在新田/落馬洲初步預留的約57公頃土地，初步構思是用作創科 和相關用途，同時配合或者支援河套地區港深創科園的發展。
Regarding the about 57 hectares of land preliminarily reserved in San TinLok Ma Chau it is preliminarily intended for IT industries and related uses and at the same time complementing or supporting the development of HSITP in the Loop
另外，重建後的皇崗口岸採用"一地兩檢"安排，將可釋放位於河套地區旁的香港落馬洲邊境管制站超過20公頃土地作其他用途。
Besides since co - location arrangement is to be implemented at the redeveloped Huanggang Port over 20 hectares of land will be released from Lok Ma Chau Boundary Control Point of Hong Kong near the Loop for other uses
正如發展局局長在其開場發言亦提到，發展局正研究該幅土地的可行用途。
As the Secretary for Development has mentioned in his opening remarks the Development Bureau is studying the possible uses of this piece of land
在規劃這些土地的未來發展時，特區政府會仔細考慮如何與河套地區的港深創科園配合及產生協同效應。
In planning the future development of these pieces of land the SAR Government will carefully consider how the land can dovetail with the development of HSITP in the Loop to achieve synergy
運輸及房屋局亦會開展研究北環綫經河套至新皇崗口岸的可行性，以期提升河套地區的連接性。
The Transport and Housing Bureau will also commence a feasibility study on connecting the Northern Link with the new Huanggang Port via the Loop to enhance the connectivity of the Loop
無論如何，政府有關部門都會適時就預留作創科用途土地的未來規劃諮詢立法會相關事務委員會。
In any event the relevant government departments will consult the relevant Panels of the Legislative Council in a timely manner on the future plans to reserve land for IT uses
大灣區發展為香港創科帶來無限的機遇，我們必須把握好這個黃金機遇，積極融入國家發展大局，透過善用規劃新界北的土地，加強與大灣區的創科合作。
The development of GBA brings unlimited opportunities to the IT sector of Hong Kong . We must seize this golden opportunity to proactively integrate with the overall development of the nation and step up the IT collaboration with GBA by making good use of and planning for the land in New Territories North
再一次感謝代理主席及各位議員對香港創科發展的關注。
I once again thank the Deputy President and all the Members for your concern about the IT development in Hong Kong
主席，首先我要感謝蔣麗芸議員今天提出"設立新生代基金，協助香港新生代籌劃未來"議案，讓立法會有機會討論如何適當分擔現今家長對新生代不論是嬰兒、兒童以至青少年成長所需要面對的開支和壓力，特別是教育增值及醫療方面的開支。
President first of all I would like to thank Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for proposing the motion on Setting up a New Generation Fund to help the new generation in Hong Kong plan for the future today as she has given the Legislative Council an opportunity to discuss how the Government can appropriately ease the financial burden and stress facing the parents nowadays in raising the new generation from newborn to adolescent especially the burden and stress related to education and healthcare expenses
主席，據我了解，蔣麗芸議員議案中的"新生代基金"，是一個大家一起參與的概念，由家庭與政府每年共同供款。
President as far as I understand it joint participation is the concept behind the New Generation Fund the Fund proposed by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan in her motion whereby families and the Government will make joint contributions to the Fund every year
基金戶口設在每名香港永久性居民所生的孩子名下，戶口自嬰兒出生後便創立，供款至18歲為止。
Each child born to a Hong Kong permanent resident will have his own Fund account at birth which will receive contributions until he reaches the age of 18
基金可用於孩子的個人增值、教育、醫療及醫保用途上。
The funds in his account can then be used to meet his needs for self - enhancement education healthcare and health insurance
當孩子踏入社會工作，並開設強積金戶口後，基金結餘款項便可撥入強積金戶口。
When he starts working and has a Mandatory Provident Fund MPF account his Fund account balance will be transferred to his MPF account
民建聯支持設立"新生代基金"，協助需要養育子女的市民作儲蓄，亦可賺取利息及投資收益作滾存。
DAB supports the setting up of the New Generation Fund to help parents keep savings earn interest and accrue investment benefits
事實上，這類兒童、青少年信託基金或儲蓄計劃並不是新鮮事，在新加坡、英國等地已運作多年。
In fact it is not novel to set up trust funds or savings programmes of this kind to benefit children and adolescents . They have been available in Singapore the United Kingdom and other places for many years
一如境外地區的一些兒童或青少年培育基金儲備計劃，當小朋友長大時，基金便可與其他儲蓄計劃的戶口結合，撥入其他戶口內。
Drawing reference from the overseas experience of implementing child or youth development fund savings programmes we may link the Fund with other savings schemes so that the funds can be transferred to other accounts when a child grows up
然而，這些數字尚未反映現時這麼多失業、開工不足的情況。
Worse still the serious unemployment and underemployment problems plaguing Hong Kong right now were not reflected in those figures
不少基層小朋友都很想成為精英運動員，但卻經常面對一些問題，特別是貧窮 家庭的小朋友，就是他們根本連入門級的興趣班也無法參與。
It is the dream of many grass - roots children to become elite athletes but making their dreams come true is not easy . In particular children from poor families do not even have a chance to attend interest classes for beginners
究竟我們應該如何培育精英運動員？
So how should we nurture elite athletes?
如果我們想小朋友、青年人有多元化的發展，投資在他們身上是絕對有需要的。
If we want our children and young people to have pluralistic development we must invest in them
最後，我期待政府有變革的思維，亦希望當局好好考慮如何運作"新生代基金"。
Lastly I hope that the Government will have a revolutionary mindset and make careful plans for the operation of the New Generation Fund
主席，首先，我感謝蔣麗芸議員提出今天的議案，讓本會能夠討論支援新生代的政策。
President first of all I would like to thank Dr CHIANG Lai - wan for proposing todays motion to give this Council an opportunity to discuss the policy of supporting the new generation
我亦看到蔣麗芸議員花了很多心思和時間，在議會內外不斷推動這項政策，我認為她的努力值得尊重。
I also notice that Dr CHIANG Lai - wan has spent much effort and time on advocating this policy both inside and outside this Council . I respect her endeavours
我經常批評香港過往的整體福利政策不夠全面，亦欠缺遠見。
I often criticize that the overall welfare policy of Hong Kong in the past was neither comprehensive nor visionary
