我可以告訴大家，有很多建制派朋友對我說他們很慘，被中聯辦迫得很辛苦，特別是今次選舉，他們從未見過這麼高層次的國家領導人到深圳為一位候選人箍票、爭取提名，那種情況難看得前所未見。
I can tell Members that many pro - establishment people have told me that they have been miserably pressurized by LOCPG . For this election in particular a very high ranking state leader once went to Shenzhen to solicit nominations and votes for a certain candidate . This practice is unprecedented and very embarrassing indeed
其實這已是中央設計的制度，非建制派的候選人根本沒有可能勝出。
In fact the system has already been designed by the Central Authorities in such a way that candidates who are not from the pro - establishment camp will not stand a chance to win at all
大家都很清楚，這並非普選。
We know very well that this is not an election by universal suffrage
周浩鼎議員剛才問我們為何要作出捆綁式投票，不是應該由每一個人自行決定投票意向嗎？
Mr Holden CHOW asked earlier why we have to bundle our votes together instead of allowing each person to make his own voting decision
我跟幾位專業議政的議員，在立法會選舉結束後其實早已知道，我們作為專業界別的代表有責任協調和處理這事。
After the Legislation Council election I and some Members of the Professionals Guild are actually aware that Members representing the professional subsectors have the responsibility to coordinate and deal with this issue
我們在絕大部分專業界別的議席都派人出選，寸土必爭，同時，我們要團結，結合我們的力量，令"民主300+"可以在這選舉中取得一些成績。
Our members had stood for election in almost all professional subsectors of EC and we strived hard for getting the seats . At the same time we must be united and join forces in this Chief Executive Election so that the Democrats 300 can make some achievements
其實，我們今次除了要有效運用我們的提名權外，我們也知道必須有效運用我們的選舉權，以抗衡"西環"的操控。
In fact apart from effectively exercising our right of nomination this time around we must also effectively exercise our right to vote so as to counteract the manipulation of Western District
為何我們要抗衡"西環"的操控？
Why do we have to counteract the manipulation of Western District?
以前未必要做得如此難看，為何今次有兩位前司長出來參選？
In the past the practices might not be so despicable and why should such practices be adopted this time when two former secretaries of departments stand for election?
其實兩位都是建制派的人，兩位都是北京信任的人，兩位都是建制派應該可以支持的人，為何不讓他們公開、公平，透過自己的力量參與這次選舉？
In fact the two candidates are from the pro - establishment camp; both of them are trusted by Beijing and both of them should get the support of the pro - establishment camp . Why not allow them to compete on their own in an open and equitable election?
為何"西環"需要使用這麼大的力度，在提名階段已經嘗試干預這次選舉？
Why did Western District put in so much effort to interfere in this election even during the nomination stage?
我希望周浩鼎議員及其他建制派議員可以回應一下，他們認為這樣做是否公平？
I hope that Mr Holden CHOW and other pro - establishment Members can respond to my questions and tell me whether they consider such an approach equitable
他們是否真的相信張曉明主任沒有干預或干涉今次選舉？
Do they really believe that Director ZHANG Xiaoming has not interfered or intervene in this election?
中聯辦膽敢做不膽敢認，作出干預選舉的行動，向選委威迫利誘，用盡所有方法，不准提名這位，一定要支持那位，一定要提名及投票給那位，他們膽敢做不膽敢認。
LOCPG dares interfere in the election but dares not admit it . It has resorted to various means to intimidate or induce EC members prohibiting them from nominating this candidate and forcing them to nominate and vote for that candidate . LOCPG dares not admit such outrageous actions
我想對張曉明主任說清楚，他這樣迫使選委提名和支持某人，其實只會弄巧反拙。
Let me tell Director ZHANG Xiaoming pressing EC members to nominate and support a certain particular candidate may have undesirable results
即使該位候選人可以當選，也不會得民心。
Even if that candidate is elected heshe cannot get support of the people
對於劉國勳議員說一定要贏，我真的不知道他有何方法。
While Mr LAU Kwok - fan said it is necessary to win I really do not know how he can do so
連葉劉淑儀議員這種精忠報國、中央政府非常信任的建制派議員，也無法爭 取150個提名入閘。
Even Mrs Regina IP a pro - establishment Member who is so loyal to the country and trusted by the Central Government has failed to get 150 nominations to qualify as a candidate
大家回想一下，今屆的所謂選舉與上屆有何分別？
Let us look back . What is the difference between the current so - called election and the previous one?
如果她說自己其他能力比較高，並得到中央的信任，這些觀點尚可說得通；但明明民調顯示落後一大截，還要為自己開脫，對其民望毫無幫助。
She should concede her defeat in the polls . She may still justify herself by suggesting that she is more capable in other aspects and she has got the trust of the Central Authorities . However given that she is lagging far behind in the polls it will not help to boost her popularity by finding excuses to defend herself
有些建制派議員的發言更加荒謬，例如蔣麗芸議員、黃國健議員等，指稱泛民欽點某候選人、"造王"；又指泛民無道義、無誠信，只談及工作能力；他們的言論非常荒謬。
The remarks by some pro - establishment Members are even more absurd . For example Dr CHIANG Lai - wan Mr WONG Kwok - kin and so on have accused the pan - democratic camp of preordaining one candidate and king - making; they also accused the pan - democratic camp of lacking morality and integrity and talking solely about capability; their remarks are extremely absurd
請他們不要說這些自欺欺人的話！
Will they please stop saying something to deceive themselves and others!
有泛民主派議員及建制派議員同時批評，有人提出選票要驗指模以確保選委投票的取態。
Some pan - democratic Members and pro - establishment Members have jointly criticized a suggestion to have ballot papers examined for fingerprints to ensure the voting choice of EC members
請建制派議員弄清楚，提出這個理論的是《香港商報》的陳建強，他是"梁粉"之一。
I would like to make it clear to the pro - establishment Members that this idea has been put forward in Hong Kong Commercial Daily by Mr Eugene CHAN a supporter of Mr LEUNG Chun - ying
我知道，代理主席，我想澄清，剛才林卓廷議員引述我說過"欽點"和"造王"這兩個詞，絕對沒有其事。
I know Deputy President . I wish to clarify . Just now Mr LAM Cheuk - ting quoted me as saying the two terms preordaining and king - making which is absolutely not true
代理主席，我剛才只是就蔣麗芸議員和黃國健議員的言論一併回應。
Deputy President what I just gave was only a consolidated response to the comments by Dr CHIANG Lai - wan and Mr WONG Kwok - kin
代理主席，我們今天辯論姚松炎議員所提出的議案，確實令我大開眼界，我再次見識到泛民議員的無中生有、口無遮攔。
Deputy President our debate on the motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim today is indeed an eye - opener to me . I have once again broadened my horizons on how pan - democratic Members can make unsubstantiated and irresponsible remarks . Mr Alvin YEUNG and Mr WU Chi - wai have both stated just now that it is indeed not necessary for Dr YIU Chung - yims original motion to be discussed
楊岳橋議員和胡志偉議員剛才均表示，姚松炎議員這項原議案其實不應該討論，我也非常同意，因為如果真的有所謂的選舉操控，這便是違法，應該向香港廉政公署、選舉事務處和香港警察報案。
I strongly agree with them . It would be illegal if any manipulation of the election as they have claimed has really happened . This should have been reported to the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption the Registration and Electoral Office and the Hong Kong Police Force accordingly
剛才朱凱廸議員表示向警察報案的作用不大，但我想提醒朱凱廸議員，他遇事時便叫所有記者報警，還要求警察24小時保護他。
Mr CHU Hoi - dick said just now that it will not do much help to report the case to the Police . However I have to remind Mr CHU Hoi - dick that he has asked journalists to report to the Police when something had happened to him and he has even requested round - the - clock protection by the Police
如果警察真的沒有用，其實朱凱廸議員做這些動作來幹嘛呢？
If the Police really cannot do much help why has he taken the above actions?
這是否政治的炒作？
Were they just political hype?
政治炒作現正在議會內進行，浪費我們的時間。
The ongoing political hype in this Chamber has been wasting our time
如果泛民主派的議員真的認為有操控，認為他們所說的是事實，其實有很多的處理方法。
If Members from the pan - democratic camp really consider that they are telling the truth about the manipulation there are actually many ways to address it
一開始時，姚松炎議員引述大量報章報道，涉及不任命論、影相論、驗指紋。
As the beginning of the debate Dr YIU Chung - yim cited a large number of media reports concerning non - appointment photo - taking of ballot papers and examination of fingerprints
有議員更離譜，表示有選委收到恐嚇電話，恐嚇他們的子女。
A Member has made an even outrageous claim that some EC members have received threatening calls and their children
我們是有責任的。
We have to be held accountable
剛才泛民大量的捕風捉影的言論，沒有一點是有真憑實據的，可以嚇倒香港市民嗎？
The groundless claims made by pan - democratic Members just now are not supported by evidence at all . Will these claims scare Hong Kong people? . Not really
至於傳聞是否要澄清，我認為局長應該澄清，而我看到他已做了些工作，作出澄清。
As to whether it is necessary to set the record straight I think the Secretary should do so . I have noticed that he has already moved to clarify
他上次在會議廳內答覆我的質詢時，表示會確保投暗票的機制有效。
In response to my question in the Chamber at a previous meeting he said he would ensure the effectiveness of the secret ballot mechanism . His response is fairly convincing
這頗有說服力，最少連最反對政府的毛孟靜議員剛才也表示，相信局長這番話。
At least even Ms Claudia MO the most vocal opponent of the Government has also indicated that she believes in what the Secretary has said
既然連最反對政府、逢政府必反的毛孟靜議員也相信這機制有效，為甚麼泛民議員要這麼杯弓蛇影，這麼害怕，要在此作這麼不智的討論呢？
Given that even Ms Claudia MO the most vocal opponent of the Government who opposes everything the Government does also believes that this mechanism is effective then why should those pan - democratic Members have to be so frightened under their imaginary fear and make such unwise claims which indeed do not make any sense?
其實，定義不是由我們議員自行商討的，如果真的有問題，應該交由 法庭審理，由法官判斷，這才是尊重法治。
In fact it is not us Members who should work out the definition on our own . Should a question of law really arise it should be brought before a court for the judge to make the ruling . The rule of law will only be upheld this way
郭議員真的是一位好律師，甚麼都由他說，說了又等於沒說。
Mr KWOK is really a capable lawyer who can always justify himself with empty remarks
"民主300+"公開呼籲選委投票給某一位候選人，這種做法是否干預呢？
By publicly canvassing votes for one candidate has the Democrats 300 interfered in the election?
他們的同路人如果想投票給另一位候選人，他們會否感到壓力呢？
Will EC members who are their allies feel under pressure if they intend to vote for another candidate?
鄺俊宇議員還好意思說要憑良心投票，我也想鄺俊宇議員稍後憑良心告訴我們，究竟這做法是否屬於干預呢？
Deputy President Mr KWONG Chun - yu even has the audacity to say that it is necessary to vote according to ones conscience . I hope that Mr KWONG Chun - yu will also tell us later according to his conscience whether the above practice constitutes interference
至於提出修正案的莫乃光議員，他的發言更是"鬼拍後尾枕"，他說甚麼CY 2.0、3.0，甚麼八三一完美示範，理由只是他不喜歡某位候選人。
Mr Charles Peter MOK who has proposed an amendment has even made a Freudian slip in his speech . The only reason for him to talk about CY 2.0 CY 3.0 and the perfect showcase of the 31 August Decision is that he does not favour one particular candidate
說完後，他便吹噓自己的"民主300+"有多麼團結，贏得一場小仗，抵抗中央。
He then went on to boast about the solidarity of the Democrats 300 claiming that they have won a small battle in resisting the Central Government
代理主席，你聽到後，有否感到莫乃光議員的發言有邏輯上的混亂呢？
Deputy President on hearing that did you have the feeling that Mr Charles Peter MOK was logically confused in his speech?
如果他真正能夠打勝一場小仗，得到這麼多席位，即證明沒有干預。
If he could really have won a small battle by winning many EC seats this proves that there was no interference
如果有干預，他們怎會打勝這場小仗呢？
Had there been interference how could they have won the small battle?
這便是自相矛盾的說法。
What he said was just self - contradictory
代理主席，你剛才也說了，政改方案大部分香港人也支持，泛民議員卻反對。
Deputy President you have rightly pointed out just now that a majority of Hong Kong people support the constitutional reform package . Pan - democratic Members have on the contrary opposed to it
林卓廷議員只批評別人，不批評自己。
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting has criticized only others but not himself
他說建制派議員不跟從民意投票，我想提醒民主黨，上次的特首選舉，梁振英是最高民望的候選人，民主黨也沒有跟從民意投票。
He accused pro - establishment Members of not voting in line with public opinions . I would like to remind the Democratic Party . In the previous Chief Executive election Mr LEUNG Chun - ying was the most popular candidate but the Democratic Party did not vote for him based on public opinions
他們平時不跟民意投票，現在突然間跟從民意投票，民主黨這做法是藉民意"過橋"。
While they normally have not voted in line with public opinions they have suddenly claimed to do so in this election which simply shows that the Democracy Party has made use of public opinions to their advantage
代理主席，我們已辯論很長時間了，這時間應該用以辯論一些更有意義的民生議題，或社會關注的經濟發展，不應該用以討論一些捕風捉影、沒有事實根據的指控。
Deputy President we have been debating on this topic for a long time which should have been spent on discussing some more significant livelihood issues or economic development issues of social concern instead of those imaginary unsubstantiated accusations
代理主席，有人把謊言說了千遍，然後妄想謊言便會成真，但很可惜，這做法敵不過香港人的智慧，議事堂內亦有同事幫忙將這連續說了千遍的謊言剖開。
Deputy President some people have the crazy idea that a lie if repeated a thousand times will become the truth . But regrettably Hong Kong people are too clever to fall for such nonsense not to mention that just now some fellow Members have also helped to crack open this often - repeated lie
無論說得怎樣天花亂墜，怎樣修飾，那個方案不是真普選，就不是真普選。
No matter how nicely it was packaged the then constitutional reform package was not genuine universal suffrage
我們今天討論這項議案，其中一個重點是究竟有沒有人干預選舉？
It was not and never is . Regarding the motion under debate today one crucial point is whether any person has actually interfered in the election
心中有鬼。
In our minds
說到在心中，在特首選舉期間，有多少人受到因中聯辦或其他機構的介入或說三道四而產生的壓力？
Speaking of what is in our minds how many members of the Election Committee EC have come under pressure during the Chief Executive election as a result of interference by the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or other agencies as well as the irresponsible statements they made?
有人大常委曾說過，聽聞有些選舉委員會委員本身並非想提名林鄭月娥，但因為"西環"的朋友不斷遊說，所以便提名林鄭月娥。
According to a member of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC there are hearsays that although some EC members did not intend to nominate Mrs Carrie LAM in the first place they eventually did so under constant lobbying from the Western District
今次選舉有太多暗地裏發生的事，我們不知道，但我們亦清楚感受到，選舉籠罩着極大壓力，令一些選委非常苦惱，因為特首選舉數天後便會進行，但至今事情感覺上仍未明朗，好像仍在等待甚麼指示。
Suffice to say that for the present election many things are going on behind our back . And we can clearly sense that the entire election is being conducted under great pressures causing extreme anxiety on the part of some EC members because while the Chief Executive Election will take place a few days later there are still a lot of uncertainties as if people are still waiting for certain instructions
我們的要求是不應有任何人嘗試干預選舉。
Our demand is that nobody should try to interfere in the election
有候選人說上帝叫她參選，然後一直表現強勢，又散播"不任命論"，"不任命論"是她提出來的，她在吹風期間表示參選是希望避免在稍後選舉時，選出一名不被中央任命的人，"老兄"，這樣還不是說三道四？
A candidate said that she had decided to run for the post of Chief Executive in response to Gods calling . Since then she has been running a strong campaign with talk about the Central Government having the power not to appoint the Chief Executive - elect . She is the one who first floated the idea
這甚至是候選人本人的言論！
Buddy isnt that statement most irresponsible? . Mind you those are indeed the words spoken by the candidate herself!
我個人的感覺是，在這次選舉中，香港人的民意十分清晰，民意不是指要投票給哪個候選人，而是想終止過去多年來的撕裂。
Personally I think Hong Kong people have made themselves very clear in this election . By that I do not mean the voting preference for any particular candidate but the wish to end the dissention within society that has been prevailing over the years
在過程中，拜託給予香港人在一個壓力非常大的框架下那點僅餘的民主自由，任由選委自行投票。
The election is being held under a framework with so many restrictions that Hong Kong people have scarcely any freedom or democracy left . So please let EC members cast their votes according to their own wills
我們希望選委可以在不受任何干預和壓力之下，作出切合香港人的決定。
It is our hope that EC members can make a decision on the basis of peoples aspiration and free from any interference or pressure
如果所謂"阿爺關心"涉及如此大動作，即不斷"追魂call"、暗地裏跟選委說了很多話，總之要他們經不起不斷遊說而改變初衷，變成提名某一位候選人，這樣做難道沒有問題嗎？
If the concern of Grandpa has to involve so many major manoeuvres such as calling EC members endlessly or engaging them in lengthy secret conversations just for the sake of changing their minds so that they would nominate a particular candidate after incessant lobbying can we say that this is perfectly acceptable?
今天的討論，我們很清晰：這次選舉一丁點干預都不應該有！
Our stance in todays motion is clear . This election must be held without any interference whatsoever!
我們很希望，經過星期日，香港人能夠走向正確的方向，在這個分岔口上，終於可以終結過去差不多5年的疲累，那種人民鬥人民、善於撕裂、善於製造分化的管治路線應該是時候來到終結。
We strongly hope that after this Sunday Hong Kong people can go towards the right direction after this parting of the ways bringing an end to all the weariness we felt for almost five years in the past . The current style of governance through creating divisions and divergence in society through in - fighting must stop
我們希望的是，當選委投票時，問一問自己的良心。
We hope that all EC members can cast their votes with conscience
主席，特首選舉投票日很快就到，在座68位議員都有份投票，因為我們都是選舉委員會委員，有機會為香港選出未來5年的行政長官，但立法會門外700多萬名普通市民則不能夠投票。
President it will be the Chief Executive Election day very soon and all 68 Members present have the right to vote because we are all Election Committee EC members and we have the opportunity to elect the Chief Executive for the next five years but over 7 million ordinary citizens outside this Council cannot vote
他們本來可以投票的，如果上次政改方案獲得通過，"一人一票"選舉行政長官就能在本星期天首次在香港出現。
They originally could vote if the constitutional reform package was passed last time and the Chief Executive of Hong Kong could be elected by one person one vote for the first time this Sunday
但是，正因為非建制派議員堅持否決政改方案，令政改原地踏步，普選與香港擦身而過。
But precisely because non - establishment Members insisted on voting against the constitutional reform package the constitutional reform suffered a standstill and universal suffrage brushed past Hong Kong
如果當日政改方案獲得通過，現在就會雨過天晴，不需要提出議案、捕風捉影或說甚麼干預。
If the constitutional reform package was passed at that time the sun would shine again after the rain . It is no long necessary to propose this motion make groundless accusations or talk about intervention
今天，我們也沒有必要就這項議案辯論，因為更厲害的人也無法干預700萬人的投票。
Today there is no need for us to debate this motion because nobody is strong enough to intervene in 7 million peoples voting decision
所以，我感到十分疑惑的是，為何當日非建制派議員反對政改，今天卻擺出民意代言人的姿態，抽制度的水？
Therefore I am very perplexed why non - establishment Members opposed the constitutional reform package at that time but they present themselves as the representatives of public opinion today cashing in on the system
這一點真是非常奇怪。
This is really strange
特別是當日反對的原因是八三一決定，又說有所堅持，但今天他們的提名取態或言論似乎表示，八三一決定和《基本法》第二十三條都不是他們的原則或考慮因素。
In particular they opposed the constitutional reform package at that time because of the 31 August Decision and they insisted on several principles . But today their position on nomination or their comments seemed to indicate that the 31 August Decision and Article 23 of the Basic Law are not their principles or factors for consideration
這證明他們只希望與中央搞對抗，總之立場決定是非。
This proves that they only want to resist the Central Authorities; in short their position determines right or wrong
如果不是對選舉制度不熟悉或政治零分，這就是政治操作。要得到反對派想要的結果，令他們有光環。
If the opposition party is not unfamiliar with the electoral system or having a zero score in politics this is political manipulation for getting the result it wants and giving it a halo
老實說，"長毛"宣布參選時，人人都覺得他與"西環"最遠，但是，反對派卻不提名"長毛"，甚至奚落他。
Honestly when Long Hair announced that he would run in the election everyone thought that he was farthest away from Western District . However the opposition camp did not nominate Long Hair and even ridiculed him
我真是百思不得其解。
I am really perplexed
所以，很多人，包括陳方安生都說，某一候選人已得到中央認同，因為他曾與中央領導人握手。
Therefore many people including Anson CHAN said that a certain candidate had been approved by the Central Authorities because the State leaders had shaken hands with him
他們意圖令香港市民覺得中央支持他、信任他，希望大家跟隨中央的想法。
They intended to make Hong Kong people think that the Central Authorities support and trust the candidate and they hope that everyone will follow the ideas of the Central Authorities
最後，我想說的是，其實民主理念不只要選舉過程公平、公正，我們能否尊重選舉結果也很重要。
Finally I would like to say that the concept of democracy does not only entail an equitable and fair election process but also a respect of the election outcome which is very important
因此，我想用最後的發言時間表明，無論星期日出現甚麼結果，我很樂意與最後勝出的一位候選人充分合作，為香港的利益共同打拼。
Therefore I would like to use the remaining speaking time to state that whatever the outcome on Sunday is I am willing to fully cooperate with the candidate who finally wins and work hard together for the interests of Hong Kong
我亦希望非建制派朋友能夠尊重結果，與下任特首合作。
I also hope that non - establishment Members will respect the outcome and cooperate with the next Chief Executive
畢竟，選舉是一時的，香港的利益才是永遠。
After all while an election is momentary the interests of Hong Kong last forever
香港一定要贏！
Hong Kong sure win!
主席， 《2017年稅務條例草案》 經修正後已通過全體委員會審議階段。
President the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 has passed through the Committee stage with amendments
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2017年稅務條例草案》予以三讀並通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 be read the Third time and do pass
新訂的第5A條。
New clause 5A
主席，我動議在條例草案增補新訂的第5A條。
Chairman I move that new clause 5A be added to the Bill
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：經修正的第4、8及10條納入本條例草案。
I now put the question to you and that is That clauses 4 8 and 10 as amended stand part of the Bill
正如局長所說，我是那種從根本上反對《2017年稅務條例草案》的議員。
As described by the Secretary I am among those Members who oppose the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill fundamentally
主席，在現時整項《條例草案》的討論中，有關想法就是我們要爭取生意，因為眼前有一宗生意很賺錢，我們看到愛爾蘭和新加坡賺錢賺得很高興，便想分一杯羹，這是主導了政府整個心態的重要想法。
President the reasoning behind the entire debate on the Bill is that we have to draw in business for a very lucrative business is now standing right in front of us . We see that Ireland and Singapore are making money happily and we want to partake in it . This is the crucial idea dominating the psychology of the Government
在政府提交給本會的其中一份文件中，提到《條例草案》對公務員、競爭、環境、家庭、性別議題和生產力均沒有影響。
In one of the papers provided to this Council the Government says that the Bill has no civil service competition environmental family gender or productivity implication
我認為政府並沒有說清楚這一點的，或者在文件上，其實它已經有一個基本假設，就是做法對於環境的影響並非在香港本地出現，所以我們便可當作看不到。
I think the Government has yet to expound on this clearly . Alternatively the paper has actually assumed that we can ignore the environmental impact resulted from the decision if it is not going to be seen locally in Hong Kong
我反對的理由，就是政府忽視了《條例草案》對環境帶來的影響。
The reason for my objection is that the Government has lost sight on the Bills environmental impact
而當生意做大後，航空公司的經營成本就會下降，政府的文件便指出整體航空業將會不斷擴張。
Following such an expansion the operating costs of airlines will decrease and as indicated in the papers provided by the Government the entire aviation industry will then grow continually
所以，《條例草案》所促進的航空業發展，就是一個不斷向上及不斷橫向擴闊網絡的一種趨勢。
Therefore the development of the aviation industry as promoted by the Bill is a trend made up of both an incessant upward movement and an incessant sideward expansion of network
由於1944年的《國際民用航空公約》讓飛機燃油免稅，直至現時也是如此，所以今天的機票價格，根本便沒有反映出環境成本。
Under the Convention on International Civil Aviation a fuel tax exemption was granted in 1944 and it remains valid till this very day . Hence the price of plane tickets nowadays cannot reflect the magnitude of its environmental cost
按照國際民航組織在2007年發出的報告......
According to a report by the International Civil Aviation Organization released in 2007
主席，我要申述它對環境造成的影響，怎會是離題呢？
President I am expounding on its environmental impact and this cannot be a digression from the question right?
因為，有關稅項會促進飛機租賃業發展，而這般行業的發展與全球航空業的膨脹有關。
The case goes like this the tax measure concerned will promote the growth of the aircraft leasing industry and such a growth is related to the expansion of the global aviation industry
政府現時說《條例草案》並沒有為環境帶來影響，我想指出，現時全球航空業膨脹，正正是面對氣候變化一個很重要的部分。
The Government now says that the Bill will not bring about any environmental impact but I want to point out that the present expansion of the global aviation industry is precisely a highly important part of the climate change
主席，現時沒有人去面對問題，歐盟說要推出碳稅，但航空業界，特別是一些大國不希望窒礙航空業發展，所以便換了另一套說法。
President no one is paying heed to this question now . The European Union wanted to put in place a carbon tax . However as the aviation industry or more importantly some major countries do not want to see a stall in the development of the aviation industry an alternative discourse has been adopted
現時國際民航組織便是使用紙老虎式的方法，以"國際航空碳抵消和減排計劃"交差。
The International Civil Aviation Organization then put in place a paper tiger option settling for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation
可是，主席，其實當中只有40%的飛機旅客將會受到規管，我們看到的趨勢很嚴重。
But President under the Scheme only 40 % of air passengers will actually be regulated . The trend we see is very serious
主席，環境局的官員不出席，它又如何可以從香港政府的環境角度思考問題呢？
President without the presence of the officers from the Environment Bureau how can the question be considered from the environmental perspective of the Hong Kong Government?
香港曾發表氣候變化報告......
Hong Kong has released a climate change report
