主席，周浩鼎議員今天提出討論"打擊'假難民'"的議案。
President today Mr Holden CHOW has moved a motion debate entitled Combating bogus refugees . The motion itself is rather bogus
這項議題本身已很"假"，即等於"打擊偽君子"，大家聽到"打擊偽君子"都會拍掌叫好，這是當然的，因為目標是"偽君子"。
This is just like the case of combating bogus gentlemen . All will naturally applaud if they hear of combating bogus gentlemen . This is only natural because the targets are bogus gentlemen
等於"打擊'假難民'"，"假難民"當然是不好的，自然要有程序遞解他們出境，這是香港政府多麼渴望的事。
It is the same case with combating bogus refugees . Of course bogus refugees are no good and there must be procedures of repatriating them . This is something the Government of Hong Kong has been longing for
然而，大家要記得這群滯港人士的身份尚待審批，若"一竹篙打一船人"，左一句"假難民"，右一句所有提出酷刑聲請的人士都是濫用制度，哪麼各位，這種評論是否真的公道呢？
Nevertheless we should bear in mind that these people are awaiting the vetting and approval of their refugee status claims . If we adopt this one - size - fits - all theory by accusing them for being bogus refugees or accusing all torture claimants are abusing the system then my fellow Members will these be fair remarks?
2013年的統計資料顯示，10%尋求庇護的人被聯合國難民署確認為難民。
The 2013 statistics show that the identities of 10 % of asylum seekers were confirmed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as refugees
香港入境事務處的資料顯示，只有0.02%的酷刑聲請個案被確認。
According to ImmDs information only 0.02 % torture claims were confirmed
據社團組織"難民關注網絡"的統計資料，香港有13%的政治避難人士要等待7至8年，29%要等待9年才有結果。
According to the statistics of the Refugee Concern Network a social service organization 13 % of political asylum seekers in Hong Kong had to wait for at least 7 to 8 years while 29 % of them had to wait for 9 years before a decision was made
如果大家要問，就要問為何審批時間會這麼長？
If we have a question to ask it should be Why it takes such a long time for the vetting and approval process?
各位，如果要打擊"假難民"，設立禁閉營會否把弱勢打擊為更弱勢？
My fellow Members if we are going to combat bogus refugees and setting up closed camp are we trying to make the underprivileged even more underprivileged?
主席，香港之所以有今天，其中一點是香港人有一種對普世價值的追求。
President Hong Kongs achievement is attributed to many things and one of them is Hong Kong peoples pursuit in universal values
主席，今次律政司的要求令我想起"木馬屠城記"這故事；律政司以調查梁國雄議員為名，實際上是要攻陷《立法會條例》。
President the present request of the Department of Justice DoJ reminds me of the story of the Trojan Horse . In the name of investigating Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung DoJ actually intends to defeat the Legislative Council Ordinance
如果今次開了先例，放這隻"木馬"進來，憲制上賦予立法會保障議員在議會發言的權利的保護罩便會消失。
If we set a precedent this time around and admit this Trojan horse the constitutional protective shield accorded to Legislative Council Members to defend their right to speak in the legislature will disappear
這事情並非針對梁國雄議員一案的錯與對，亦不是要作出任何評論，而是關乎立法會能否保住議員在議事廳享有言論自由這個金漆招牌。
This issue is neither related to the rights and wrongs as regards Mr LEUNG Kwok - hungs case nor any comments to be made . Rather it concerns whether the Council can defend its cherished reputation for allowing Members to enjoy freedom of speech in the Chamber
這個問題並非單純口舌之爭，而是關乎立法會尊嚴的問題。
This issue is not merely a battle of words but is related to the dignity of the Council
周浩鼎議員剛才引用英國的情況，並說及英國國會議事規則的改革方向，所以我們不應故步自封云云。
Just now Mr Holden CHOW made reference to the situation of the United Kingdom and said that given the direction of reforming the rules of procedure of the British Parliament we should not be complacent with the status quo and so on and so forth
對的，我們不應故步自封，英國國會是由民主選舉產生，但我們的立法會呢？
Right we should not be complacent . The British Parliament is elected democratically but what about the Legislative Council in our case?
我們的特首呢？
What about our Chief Executive?
要突破故步自封，請先幫香港爭取一個真正的普選。
If one wants to change the status quo please first strive for genuine universal suffrage for Hong Kong
改革應是向前，而不是向後；今次律政司的要求正正削弱了立法會的尊嚴，以及過往一直保護着立法會議員的制度。
Reforms should be moving forward not backward . The request of DoJ will weaken the dignity of the Legislative Council and the system that has been safeguarding Members of the Legislative Council
因為我們不相信梁振英，雖然大家都不想看到這種不信任，但過去幾年，社會有多少撕裂、多少爭拗？
The reason is that we do not trust LEUNG Chun - ying . We all hate to see such distrust but over the past several years how many cases involving social dissension and disputes have arisen?
如果這先例一開，我們的防線失守的話，便正如周浩鼎議員剛才所說，我們高舉的言論自由旗幟將會倒下。
If a precedent is set and our line of defence is breached the banner of freedom of speech that we hold high will fall as indicated by Mr Holden CHOW just now
所以，當人家步步進迫，我們便更要守着這條底線。
For this reason when facing with increasing attacks we need to defend this bottom line
今天發言的民主派議員不僅是要捍衞本身的言論自由，假使有一天周浩鼎議員遇到這種情況，我們行事也會用同一把尺、按同一個原則，就正如大家經常引述的一句話："我不認同你的觀點，但我誓死捍衞你發言的權利"。
Pro - democracy Members who speak today not only have to defend their freedom of speech we will also apply the same yardstick and the same principle in dealing with cases that involve say Mr Holden CHOW in the future . Members often quote the saying I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it
主席，我支持姚松炎議員根據《議事規則》第902條動議拒絕給予許可的議案。
President I support Dr YIU Chung - yims motion moved under Rule 902 of the Rules of Procedure that the leave be refused
雖然對於這項議案稍後投票的結果，我們亦心裏有數，但我們仍希望藉着發言，盡最大和最後努力守着防線，守着不要開先例，以免這隻"木馬"攻陷立法會，令議員在議事廳享有的言論自由都失去保障。
Although we know very well the result of the voting on this motion to be conducted in a moment we still hope to through our speeches make the utmost and ultimate efforts to hold the line of defence and avoid setting a precedent so that the Trojan horse would not storm the Legislative Council and Members would not lose the protection of their freedom of speech in the Chamber
主席，有議員剛才將打擊"假難民"說成是撕裂社會，選舉議題。
President some Members said earlier that combating bogus refugees is tearing society apart and that it is a topic for election campaign
我們要阻止"假難民"以酷刑聲請為借口留港打劫、販毒、強姦或進行非法勾當。
We have to stop bogus refugees from using torture claims as a pretext to stay in Hong Kong to engage in robbery drug trafficking rape or illegal activities
主要是當他們被拘捕時，七成會說自己是難民，政府於是要投放大量資源進行審核。
This is mainly because when they are arrested 70 % of them will claim themselves to be refugees prompting the Government to deploy a large amount of resources to verify their claims
如果他們真的有需要，為甚麼將食物券轉售呢？
If there is a genuine need why would they resell the food coupons?
"假難民"的問題明明很嚴重。
It is obvious that the problem of bogus refugees is very serious
我們不希望這類事件在香港發生。
We do not want such incidents to happen in Hong Kong
我們是可以將"假難民"拒諸門外的，為甚麼不那樣做呢？
We can shut the door to bogus refugees . Why do we not do that?
需要我們施以援手的是一群有真正需要的難民，不是"假難民"。
Those who need our hand are refugees with a genuine need not the bogus refugees
香港每年有1萬宗個案。
There are 10 000 cases in Hong Kong every year
當然，我同意難民沒有甚麼真假之分，最主要是視乎他們是受到政治迫害、戰亂影響，還是從經濟角度出發。
But a line must somehow be drawn . I agree that refugees should be classified into genuine and bogus ones . We should mainly consider whether they are affected by political persecution and war and whether they are driven by economic motives
然而，今時今日的香港社會，我們對難民能有何種程度的容忍量，應把界線劃定在哪處，是今天這項討論的最重要課題。
Yet the most important question in the discussion today is what is our maximum tolerance of refugees in Hong Kong today and where exactly should the line be drawn?
無論是非法入境者、非華裔人士或酷刑聲請者，數字均呈下降趨勢，問題似乎輕微得到紓緩。
As a general downward trend is noted in the number of illegal entrants non - ethnic Chinese and torture claimants it seems that the situation has been slightly relieved
但是，如何加快處理現時滯留在港的人士，應是大家今天最關心的問題。
However I think we should now be most concerned about how we could expedite the processing of cases relating to people currently stranded in Hong Kong
第一，我們過往似乎沒有參考其他面對大量難民潮的國家的務實處理方式，例如英國、德國及澳洲均有實施一些快速處理方案，但當然須在事前作出比較全面的考量。
First of all it seems that we have never made any reference previously to the pragmatic approach adopted by other countries faced with an influx of refugees . Fast track schemes are implemented in countries such as the United Kingdom Germany and Australia but there must of course be comprehensive consideration beforehand
有些人士顯然是乘搭飛機來港，不像電視上所見的敘利亞難民，翻山越嶺、扶老攜幼地過境。
Some people obviously come to Hong Kong by air unlike those Syrian refugees we see on television who scale the mountains to get to the other side of the border bringing along their children and elderly family members
最近發生宣誓風波，法院亦已作出判決，或許會給予公眾或本會同事一種感覺或印象，認為立法會備受打壓，甚至受到司法侵入或釋法侵入，各方面好像都向立法會施壓。
The recent oath - taking fiasco and the judgment passed by the Court may have given the public or my Honourable colleagues the feeling or impression that the Legislative Council has been subjected to oppression or even judicial intervention or interference caused by a Basic Law interpretation . The Legislative Council seems to have come under pressure from all sides
我只想立法會重回正軌，並指出今天這項議案的數個盲點。
I merely want the Legislative Council to get back on the right track and I would like to point out a few blind spots of this motion today
我相信大家要留意一下，這是第一點。
This is the first point which I believe Members should pay attention to
當然，任何慣常處理刑事案件或民事案件的律師都應該清楚知道，在審訊過程中，主控或原告可要求，法庭有時也會要求雙方盡可能簡化案情，並提出多一些同意案情。
Of course any lawyers accustomed to handling criminal cases or civil cases should know very well that during a trial the prosecutor or the plaintiff may request―and sometimes the Court will also request―that both parties should simplify the facts of the case as much as possible and propose more agreed facts
我未擔任立法會議員前，曾經是執業大律師，多年來處理過不少案件，很多時候也要考慮，應否事先盡力爭取多一些同意案情，遇到阻力的話又要怎樣做。
Before I became a Legislative Council Member I had been a practising barrister . I had handled many cases over the years . More often than not I had to consider whether I should strive to establish more agreed facts in advance and what I should do if my proposal met with resistance
只要這些公眾文件符合4項要求，便可以根據普通法原則呈堂，無須考慮剛才所說的要證人正式提交文件。
As long as these public documents meet four requirements they can be produced in court according to common law principles without regard to the requirement that a relevant document be formally produced by a witness as mentioned just now
該4項原則包括，有關文件是否用作公眾紀錄，即當初為何要提交這些文件？
The four principles in question pertain to the following considerations Are the relevant documents used as public records or why should these documents be produced in the first place?
這些文件是否應開放讓公眾索閱？
Should these documents be made available for public inspection?
當事人有沒有責任保存和擬備這些文件？
Does the party concerned have a responsibility to prepare and keep these documents?
有關文件是否真確？
Are the relevant documents authentic?
如果能夠符合這些原則，理論上，任何公開紀錄本來無須有關人士親自提交法庭，所謂呈交或呈堂也理應可以被接受。
In theory any public record that meets these principles are by nature not required to be submitted to the Court by the party concerned in person and it should be acceptable for it to be tendered or produced in court
如果符合以上6項條件，便可根據《證據條例》第22條獲得豁免。
If the documents meet any of the six conditions mentioned above they are exempted under section 22 of the Evidence Ordinance
所以，我們可以討論有否更佳方法。
We can thus discuss whether there is a better approach
代理主席，我想提出另一點，有同事問會否太趕急？
Deputy President I wish to make one more point . Some Honourable colleagues have asked if this approach is too hasty
律政司在2016年10月18日第二次致函立法會秘書處，較詳細解釋為何要這樣做、會怎樣使用文件，以及他們有何理據認為這樣做不會違反《條例》第3及4條。
In its second letter dated 18 October 2016 to the Legislative Council Secretariat DoJ explained in more detail why it had to do this how it was going to use the documents and the reasons why it considered that this would not violate sections 3 and 4 of the Ordinance
所以，理論上不需要這麼趕急，只是提前兩天通知便要本會作出決定。
So theoretically speaking its hasty move to give this Council only two days notice to make a decision was uncalled for
那麼趕急的話，只會給予反對派的同事多一個藉口及理由，指斥主席同流合污或完全對行政機關投降，甚至指斥立法會變成"無掩雞籠"。
Acting in such haste would only give opposition Members one more excuse or reason to accuse the President of colluding with or fully capitulating to the Executive Authorities or even accuse the Legislative Council of degenerating into a gateless fortress
代理主席，不得不提的是，剛才有同事，包括建制派的同事表示，我們不是要以言入罪，而是討論有關議員操守或貪腐的刑事案件。
Deputy President I must mention one thing . Just now some Honourable colleagues including Members from the pro - establishment camp said that we are not trying to incriminate a person for his words but we are discussing a criminal case pertaining to a Members conduct or corruption
我擔心梁美芬議員剛才的發言已經到了一個程度，論及梁國雄議員是否知悉有關責任，這是將來審訊會牽涉的議題，我希望她不要在這方面說太多。
I am worried that Dr Priscilla LEUNGs remarks have reached the point of commenting whether Mr LEUNG Kwok - hung was aware of the relevant responsibility which is the point to be decided in the coming trial . I hope she will refrain from commenting too much on that
主席，近年，各類虐待動物或不人道對待流浪動物的新聞層出不窮，令人感到痛心。
President in recent years there has been an endless stream of news stories about different forms of animal cruelty or inhumane treatment of stray animals . This is heart - rending
令人感到可惜和遺憾的是，香港作為國際大都會，在動物權益和友善方面的政策，長期停滯不前。
It is sad and regrettable that Hong Kong an international metropolis has long been stuck in the mud when it comes to animal rights and animal - friendly policies
今天，我很高興鄺俊宇議員提出這項議案，讓大家討論動物權益及福利。
Today I am very glad that Mr KWONG Chun - yu has moved this motion which allows us to discuss animal rights and welfare
我希望透過這個機會，與大家分享我的一些自身經歷或感受，說說我對動物權益及福利的看法，並與大家一起學習，一起做好有關動物福利的政策。
I wish to take this opportunity to share with Members my personal experiences or feelings talk about my views on animal rights and welfare and learn with Members . Let us work towards a good animal welfare policy together
我不敢說我是愛動物的人，我最多只能說我關心動物和關注牠們的權益。
I would not call myself an animal lover . The best I can say is that I care about animals and I am concerned about their rights
我自小便害怕小動物，小時候充其量只是養龜，因為龜不是那麼活潑，比較被動，給我的感覺較為安全。
I have had a fear of small animals since childhood . When I was small I was only brave enough to keep tortoises which I felt were relatively harmless as they were kind of inactive and rather passive
面對一些毛茸茸的動物或體型較大的動物，例如大型犬隻，我真的會很害怕，牠們走過來我便會避開，甚至曾誇張地跳上沙發。
I am really scared of hairy or larger animals such as big dogs and I will avoid them when they come over . There were times when I literally jumped onto the sofa to stay away from them
這種恐懼真的無法解釋，可能源自童年陰影，亦可能源自對動物認識不足而產生的不安感覺。
This fear is really inexplicable . It may stem from a childhood trauma or a sense of insecurity arising from an inadequate understanding of animals
第一，惻隱之心，人皆有之，無論人們是否喜愛動物，我相信，不容忍動物受到虐待、不容許動物受到遺棄，以至好好保護動物，是每一個人都應做的事。
First the feeling of commiseration belongs to all men; no matter whether a person is fond of animals I believe everyone should not tolerate animal cruelty or allow animal abandonment and should properly protect animals
我很希望政府能真正回應社會人士的訴求。
I do hope that the Government can genuinely respond to the aspirations of members of the community
大家應有同一個出發點，就是任何生物都應平等，任何生物都不應受到傷害。
Everyone should agree on the same starting point which is all living things should be equal and all living things should be free from harm
我覺得這是很基本的事，是惻隱之心，是文明社會的做法。
As I see it this is a fundamental principle based on the feeling of commiseration as well as an approach that should be adopted in a civilized society
我希望政府能夠做到。
I hope the Government can make this happen
最近，在研究動物權益相關事宜小組委員會上，我宣告一間巴士公司願意考慮研究推出假日寵物巴士服務。
At a recent meeting of the Subcommittee to Study Issues Relating to Animal Rights I announced that a bus company was willing to consider introducing a holiday pet bus service
我希望未來能繼續與大家一起學習，而政府亦應學習如何做好有關愛護動物和動物福利的政策。
I hope that in future I can continue to learn with Members . The Government should also learn how to come up with good policies on animal care and animal welfare
"維護動物權益"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Safeguarding animal rights
我希望你能澄清，你在剛才的發言中，是否指本會的其他議員厚顏無耻？
May I ask you to clarify if you did accuse another Member of this Council of being shameless in your speech just now?
劉議員，如果你的發言是指何議員厚顏無耻，你已經違反《議事規則》，你必須離開會議廳，因為你的行為已屬極不檢點。
Dr LAU if you accused Dr HO of being shameless in you speech you have violated the Rules of Procedure . You must withdraw from the Chamber immediately as you conduct is grossly disorderly
代理主席，我覺得七一慶祝回歸屬於所有香港人，並不單只屬於遊行人士，而市民的訴求亦應包括參與和不參與遊行的人士。
Deputy President I think the reunification celebration on 1 July is an event for all Hong Kong people but not just the participants of the march; and the aspirations of the people should include those who participate or not participate in the march
回歸20年，我們在經濟上取得不少成果，GDP增長接近1倍，而政府開支的增幅甚至大於GDP增長。
Over the past 20 years since the reunification we have made a lot of economic achievements; our GDP has almost doubled and the rate of increase in government expenditures is even greater than that of our GDP
我們要思考這些問題。
These are the problems we have to consider
在批評反對派之前，我想先批評社會上一群既得利益者。
Before criticizing the opposition Members I would like to first criticize a group of people with vested interests in society
在過去10年，特別在2007年之後，究竟發生了甚麼事？
What happened in the past 10 years particularly after 2007? . The political ecology of Hong Kong has rapidly worsened . Opposition Members have politicized everything
就是政治生態急劇惡化，反對派凡事政治化，為鬥爭而鬥爭，永遠站在終極道德高地，脫離現實，搞鬥爭、搞對抗，越搞越激；為了吸引視線和選票，為了一己政治利益和政治計算，每天在議會進行政治公決。
They fight for the sake of fighting and always stand on extremely high moral grounds . They have lost touch with reality; they wage political struggles and confrontations and become more and more radical . In order to draw attention and solicit votes they conduct political referendum in the Legislative Council every day to promote their own political interests and schemes
在2010年，進行所謂"五區公投"；在2010年，把正常、合理、全世界都有的國民教育誣衊為"洗腦"教育，進行所謂反國教運動；在2014年，違法佔中；在數天前以至昨天，在金紫荊廣場進行佔領式示威，把象徵香港回歸祖國的重要歷史信物金紫荊雕塑污衊化、污名化，徹底否定"一國兩制"。
In 2010 they accused national education a normal and reasonable education provided in all countries slanderously as brainwashing education and launched the so - called anti - national education movement . In 2014 they staged the illegal Occupy Central . From a few days ago till yesterday they held a protest by occupying the Golden Bauhinia Square
剛才朱凱廸議員張冠李戴，說金紫荊雕塑是一種封建、殖民式圖騰。
Mr CHU Hoi - dick has earlier barked up the wrong tree saying that the Golden Bauhinia statue was a totem of conservatism and colonialism
他是否不知道在1997年之前，洋紫荊或紫荊花已是香港的市花，它不是某位領導人或特首的頭像；香港何曾有把甚麼"嘜頭"滿街擺放？
Does he know that bauhinia was the city flower of Hong Kong before 1997? . The statue at the Square is not the head sculpture of a certain state leader or the Chief Executive . Has Hong Kong ever placed the picture of someone along the streets?
我們要相信我們的制度。
We must have confidence in our system
面對將來，我們希望議會能夠恢復理性，在監督政府和議事效率之間取得平衡。
Looking ahead we hope Members of the Legislative Council will become rational and strike a balance between monitoring the Government and maintaining efficiency in the Legislative Council
香港目前困難與機遇並重，我們不能只提困難而完全不提機遇，令大家信心盡失。
At present there are difficulties as well as opportunities for Hong Kong . We cannot only mention the difficulties and completely ignore the opportunities hence disheartening the public
我們要清楚認識香港在國家，以至在國家在世界上崛起的過程中的角色、定位和機遇。
We must clearly understand the role positioning and opportunities of Hong Kong in the process of Chinas emergence in the world
我們要在發展中追求公平，以及謀取所有市民的幸福，而不是只為了一小撮人的幸福或一些人的政治利益。
We have to pursue fairness and promote the well - being of all Hong Kong people in the process of development instead of advancing only the well - being and political interests of a small group of people
我們要實現民主，實現人心回歸。
We want democracy to be realized and we want the hearts of the people to be reunified
因此，我支持黃定光議員和張華峰議員的修正案。
Thus I support the amendments proposed by Mr WONG Ting - kwong and
尹兆堅議員的議案其實很精要地指出，在《基本法》的框架之下落實"一國兩制"必須做到以下數點：第一點，"港人治港"；第二點，"高度自治"；第三點，要有民主政制；第四點，要有廉潔政府，而最後一點是法治精神。
In fact Mr Andrew WANs motion has succinctly pointed out that the implementation of one country two systems within the Basic Law framework must achieve the following Firstly Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong; secondly a high degree of autonomy; thirdly a democratic political system; fourthly a clean government; and last but not least the spirit of the rule of law
今年，我知道民陣的主題是"一國兩制 呃足廿年；民主自治 重奪香港"。
This year I know that the theme of Civil Human Rights Fronts rally is One country two systems a lie of 20 years; Democratic self - government retake Hong Kong
我們從口號可見，大家都希望將來會有民主政制，令香港人可以達致"港人治港"，"高度自治"，維持香港本身的生活方式，令香港在"一國兩制"下擁有本身的特色，以及令下一代可以在法治精神、廉潔奉公之下繼續生活。
We can see from the slogans that Hong Kong people wish to have a democratic political system in the future so that we can achieve Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy maintain our unique way of life preserve our own characteristics under one country two systems and enable the next generation to live on with integrity under the spirit of the rule of law
尹兆堅議員今天提出的議案，值得香港人思考現時香港社會如此撕裂，大家在互相指罵之餘，是否還記得"一國兩制"原本的精神是要大家走在一起，建立和平、理性的社會，體現"一國兩制"，並讓香港繼續有法治、廉潔、民主政制，而這才是七一遊行最重要的意義。
The motion moved by Mr Andrew WAN today is worth considering by Hong Kong people . When the community is so divided and people are pointing their fingers at one another do we still remember that the original spirit of one country two systems? . The spirit is to pull us together to build a peaceful and rational society to manifest one country two systems and enable Hong Kong to continue to operate under a democratic political system where the rule of law and probity prevail
當然，演繹至今，七一遊行已變得很多元化，不同團體、組織和人士也可以利用七一遊行來表達訴求。
This is the most important meaning of the 1 July march . Of course the 1 July march has evolved with time and now it has become more diversified with different organizations bodies and individuals taking part to express their aspirations
正因如此，特區政府應透過這次七一遊行，再次重溫原來香港人普遍有這樣的訴求，以及大家如何在"一國兩制"的框架下行使《基本法》所賦予的權利，以實現民主政制、"高度自治"及法治精神。
It is precisely for this reason that the SAR Government should revisit through the coming 1 July march the aspirations previously expressed by Hong Kong people and how we can exercise the rights vested by the Basic Law under the framework of one country two systems to manifest a democratic political system a high degree of autonomy and the spirit of the rule of law
因此，希望大家不要忘記，七一遊行是我們的文化和傳統的一部分，所以，大家記得，七一維園見。
Therefore I hope people will not forget that the 1 July march is part of our culture and tradition . So remember to join in and see you all in Victoria Park
首先，我想就數位議員的修正案提出一些想法。
First of all let me express my views on the amendments of some Members
我同意毛孟靜議員的修正案，特別是關於政策範疇的討論。
I agree with Ms Claudia MOs amendment particularly the points she made on policies
陳克勤議員的修正案，如果能夠進行表決，我也會投贊成票，我特別認同他修訂《道路交通條 例》的建議。
If Mr CHAN Hak - kans amendment is put to vote later I will also vote in favour of it . In particular I agree with his proposal to amend the Road Traffic Ordinance
葛珮帆議員和梁美芬議員的修正案均刪除"禁止人道毀滅流浪貓狗"，但我認為訂立這個原則是重要的，因為唯有訂立這個原則，才能推動政府從根本上改變現時動輒進行人道毀滅的做法。
Both Dr Elizabeth QUAT and Dr Priscilla LEUNG have deleted the words prohibit the euthanization of stray cats and dogs in their amendments but I think it is an important principle to set down . The Government will fundamentally change its current practice of arbitrarily euthanizing animals only if this principle is established
不過，對譚議員提倡的地盤承建商要遵守"建築地盤飼養狗隻守則"，我則可能要補充幾句。
I agree . However regarding Mr TAMs proposal of requiring contractors of construction sites to comply with the Code of Practice for Keeping Dogs on Construction Sites the Code I have some comments to make
"建築地盤飼養狗隻守則"有合理的部分，但第6點提到："如沒有其他可供選擇的安排，負責人可把狗隻送交本署動物管理中心。
Some measures in the Code are reasonable but point 6 of the Code states that As a last resort the responsible person may surrender them [the dogs] to the Animal Management Centre of this department
"這變相容許承建商棄養狗隻，我看不到"建築地盤飼養狗隻守則"有從動物權益的角度出發。
This will in effect allow contractors to abandon dogs . I do not think the Code is formulated on the basis of protecting animal rights
大家也理解，現時很多地盤和貨倉把狗隻視為廉價看更，用完即棄。
As Members will understand in many construction sites and warehouses dogs are regarded as cheap security guards and they will immediately be disposed of when their service is no longer required
漁農自然護理署對這個問題視若無睹是不妥當的，所以我對譚文豪議員的修正案有輕微保留。
It is improper for the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department AFCD to turn a blind eye to this problem . Thus I have slight reservation about Mr Jeremy TAMs amendment
鄺俊宇議員的原議案包括很多方向，其中第二點打擊非法繁殖和第四點推動絕育放回相信是很多愛護動物的朋友的共識。
Mr KWONG Chun - yus original motion covers many directions . I believe that point 2 on stepping up enforcement actions against unlawful animal breeding and point 4 on taking forward the scheme of neuter and return are unanimously agreed by many animal lovers
