旅遊業發展也是十分重要的，因為可以為不少中下階層人士製造就業機會，也會為零售業以至餐飲業帶來不少裨益。
Development of tourism is also very important as this can create employment opportunities for lower to middle class and can also benefit the retail and catering industries
早前因為訪港旅客減少，令本地零售業經歷了一個寒冬，尚幸在政府及香港旅遊發展局等各方面的努力之下，終於捱過了嚴冬，現在開始有點春意。
Earlier on due to a drop in the number of visitors to Hong Kong local retail industries experienced an inclement winter . It is fortunate that with the help of the Government and the Hong Kong Tourism Board the industries survived the inclement winter and we begin to feel a touch of spring at present
然而，我覺得我們仍然需要繼續努力、推陳出新，不論在節日活動以至旅遊景點上都要多下工夫。尤其今年是香港回歸祖國20周年的大日子，我們當然要舉辦更多活動，展現回歸後的新貌，吸引更多旅客來港。
Nevertheless I think we still have to work hard and be innovative no matter in festive activities or tourist attractions particularly when this year marked the 20 anniversary of Hong Kongs reunification with the Mainland and we of course have to organize more activities to articulate the new image of Hong Kong after reunification and to attract more inbound tourists
政府除了增加撥款、廣作宣傳、推廣和舉辦盛事之外，亦要認真進行硬件設施。
Apart from allocating more funding investing in propaganda promoting and organizing mega events the Government also has to seriously invest in hardware facilities
隨着港珠澳大橋的落成，如何利用50萬平方米的人工島接待更多旅客，以配合大嶼山已有的休閒設施，發展生態旅遊以至增加新景點及設施，亦是現屆和下屆政府刻不容緩、急需要面對的。
After the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge is commissioned how to make use of the artificial island with an area of 500 000 sq m to receive more tourists with a view to supporting the existing recreational facilities on Lantau Island developing eco - tourism and increasing more tourist attractions and facilities is also an imminent question facing the incumbent Government and the next administration . As a Chinese proverb goes the ancestors planted the trees and their descendants enjoy the cool under the shade
我期望"前人種樹，後人乘涼"，現任特首已經看到了這個問題，準備了一些方案，大家現在可以集思廣益，完善當中的發展方案。
I hope that after seeing this problem the incumbent Chief Executive has already prepared some proposals based on which we can improve the development project with collective wisdom
期待下任政府上場後不久，已經可以承先啟後，做得更好。
I hope that shortly after the next Government has assumed office it can build on past achievements and do better in the future
至於房屋及土地的問題，我稍後再觸及。
In regard to housing and land issues I will discuss them in due course
多謝代理主席，我謹此陳辭。
Thank you Deputy President I so submit
主席，我想就交通政策發言，包括鐵路優先政策和道路擠塞問題。
President I would like to talk about transport policy including the policy according priority to railway development and the issue of traffic congestion
現在香港政府以鐵路優先，作為交通政策的重點。
Giving priority to railway is a major transport policy adopted by the Hong Kong Government at present
不過，我們發現這個鐵路優先政策，近年似乎開始變質，變成傾斜於鐵路，這種變質甚至趕絕其他交通工具，包括巴士和小巴。
However we consider that such a policy has metamorphosed and has seemingly become inclined to railway in recent years and may even jeopardize other means of transport including buses and minibuses
當有新鐵路線開通時，隨之而來的，就是削減巴士和小巴服務，令基層市民受很大影響，亦令巴士和小巴現在不再是鐵路的競爭者。
Whenever there is a new railway line reductions in bus and minibus services will follow posing much impact on the lives of the grass roots . Under such a practice buses and minibuses are no longer competitors of rail transport
鐵路系統現時每天已超過500萬人次使用，佔每日公共交通的總運輸量接近42%。
In fact the railway system carries over 5 million passenger trips every day representing almost 42 % of overall daily public transport
過分集中依賴鐵路服務會有危險，當鐵路系統因事故延誤，例如壞車或其他系統問題，乘客受到連鎖效應影響，人數數以萬計，甚至數以十萬計。
It is risky to overly rely on railway service . In case of delays caused by incidents like train malfunction or other problems in the system the chain reaction resulted will affect tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of passengers
很多時候，鐵路服務會因為一些小事故令主要車站封閘、實施人流管制。
In most cases rail operators may need to close a major station or manage passenger flow merely due to a minor incident
如果小巴和巴士不是如此大幅削減，市民還可以有選擇，可以有替代。
The public can still have choices or alternatives if minibus and bus services were not trimmed substantially
所以，我認為政府有必要重新檢討交通工具政策，例如研究公共運輸策略及往後措施等，應該重新加強巴士、小巴，甚至渡輪的角色，作為交通政策的重要一員，亦是鐵路的競爭者，不能夠過分依賴鐵路系統。
Therefore it is necessary for the Government to review its transport policy such as studies on public transport strategies and corresponding measures and so on . It should strengthen the role of buses minibuses and even ferries as important players in its transport policy as well as competitors of rail transport . We simply cannot rely too much on the railway system
第二方面，主席，我想說一說香港道路擠塞問題。
Second President I would like to discuss Hong Kongs traffic congestion problem
現在香港塞車問題越來越嚴重，主要因為車輛數目增長迅速、道路基建追不上，在繁忙時間嚴重塞車。
Traffic jams in Hong Kong have been worsening mainly because of the rapid increase in vehicles while transport infrastructure cannot catch up with the pace which leads to serious congestion during rush hours
以北區為例，數個主要交匯處在繁忙時間經常塞車，有時塞車一小時，有時塞車兩小時，令偏遠地區的居民苦不堪言，如果有壞車等造成的擠塞，則更加嚴重。
Take the North District as an example a few main termini are always congested during rush hours . Traffic jams in the district can sometimes last for one hour or two hours making life difficult for residents in remote areas . Congestion caused by vehicle failure is even more serious
在2014年，交通諮詢委員會公布的"香港道路交通擠塞研究報告"就提到，早上繁忙時間部分路段的行車速度是每小時5公里，比走路還慢。
According to the Report on Study of Road Traffic Congestion in Hong Kong published by the Transport Advisory Committee in 2014 vehicles travel at a speed of 5 kmh on certain road sections during morning rush hours even slower than travelling on foot
正如我剛才所說，私家車數目增長是道路擠塞的主因。
As I have mentioned earlier the increase in private cars is the main reasons behind traffic congestion
查看數據，2006年1月，領牌私家車數目為36萬輛，而去年10月，這個數字已超過492,500輛。
The statistics indicated that there were 360 000 licensed private cars in January 2016 and the number exceeded 492 500 in October last year
我們認為有必要制訂一套長遠限制車輛增加的政策，同時要確立公共交通工具能夠有道路優先使用權的原則。
We believe that it is necessary to formulate a policy to limit vehicle numbers in the long run as well as affirming the principle of giving priority of road use to public transport
最後，主席，我想藉這個機會跟發展局局長說一說，閣下跟勞工及福利局局長剛剛榮升，我曾經當面跟局長說過，我明白新界東北發展需要進行。
Finally President I would like to take this opportunity to raise a point to the Secretary for Development . You and the Secretary for Labour and Welfare just get promoted . I once told the Secretary in person that I understand the need for the Development of North East New Territories
但是，局長要處理受影響居民，尤其古洞一帶老人院的院友，這些長者已經年邁，本身希望在院舍安享晚年。
That said the Secretary needs to take care of the affected residents especially the elderly residents in a residential care home for the elderly in Kwu Tung
我們希望政府有關當局認真考慮這群老人家的福祉，亦考慮到他們和現在經營者有緊密關係，在制訂有關安置政策的時候，切實可行地令這群老人家得以安心，搬到政府現在準備興建的新安老院舍綜合大樓。
We hope the authorities can earnestly consider the welfare of these elderly people and take into account the close relations between them and the existing operator when they formulate the rehousing policy so that the elderly can have peace of mind enabling them to settle into the residential care home in the new complex under preparation . Thank you President . I so submit
主席，這份是梁特首在任內最後一份施政報告，亦是篇幅最長的一份。施政報告的內容廣泛，涵蓋了推動經濟持續發展、改善民生、增加土地供應等多項政策。
President this is the last Policy Address delivered by the Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying in his term of office and is the lengthiest ever covering a wide array of issues including various policies on promoting sustainable economic development improving peoples livelihood increasing land supply
據統計，新增項目投入的經常性及非經常性支出，超過460億元。
According to statistics the recurrent and non - recurrent expenditure on new projects will exceed 46 billion
特首撰寫這份施政報告，不但沒有抱着"看守政府"、"不做不錯"的心態，反而敢於提出一些新思維、新嘗試，例如在郊野公園邊陲地方覓地建屋，並推出保育基金、以"非原址換地"方式保育高生態價值的私人土地。
Adopting neither the mentality of a guardian government nor that of no action no mistake the Chief Executive dared to put forth certain new ideas and new attempts in composing this years Policy Address such as identifying sites from the land on the periphery of country parks for housing construction setting up a conservation fund and conserving private land of high ecological value via non - in situ land exchange
主席，這節主題是：經濟發展和創新及科技，接下來，我會聚焦於香港的旅遊及產業發展。
President the theme of this session is Economic Development and Innovation and Technology . I will then focus on the development of Hong Kongs tourism and industries
去年，全球政治經濟局勢可謂風起雲湧，先有英國公投"脫歐"，然後美國大選飛出"黑天鵝"，打着"保護主義"旗幟的特朗普當選美國總統。
The worlds political and economic landscapes underwent substantial changes last year with the United Kingdoms decision in a referendum to leave the European Union coming first which was followed by a black swan soaring out as the President of the United States of America from the presidential election namely Donald Trump who advocates trade protectionism
全球政經形勢複雜多變，香港亦出現隱憂，零售業、旅遊業均日走下坡。
Given the complexity of the ever - changing political as well as economic situations of the world certain hidden concerns also emerged in Hong Kongs economy . Our retail and tourism industries have been facing tough times
統計處公布去年12月的零售業銷貨額，估計為424億元，較2015年同期下跌2.9%，是連續22個月下跌。
According to the figures released by the Census and Statistics Department the monthly survey of retail sales for last December was estimated to be 42.4 billion 2.9 % down from the same period in 2015 a decline for 22 straight months
旅遊業方面，本港去年整體過夜旅客人數，維持在與前年相若的2,655萬人次，但過夜人均消費卻創新低，約6,700元，較前年減少約7.4%。
On tourism figures the number of overall overnight visitor arrivals of last year is similar to that of two years ago except that the overnight per capita spending hit a record low at around 6,700 7.4 % down from that of two years ago
自從2003年實施自由行後，旅遊業經歷了大約10年的蜜月期，每年旅客的人均消費額均錄得增幅，直至2014年開始下跌。
Since the launch of the Individual Visit Scheme in 2003 our tourism industry experienced a honeymoon period for about a decade during which the visitor per capita spending increased every year until 2014
於高峰期內，每名內地旅客平均消費8,900元，但去年上半年的人均消費，卻下跌至7,100元，比高峰期大幅減少大約兩成。
It began to drop since then . During peak years each Mainland visitor spent 8,900 on average but the per capita spending in the first half of last year slipped to 7,100 representing a significant drop of about 20 % from the peak years
以上數據帶出一點啟示：以零售購物為主導的旅遊，對內地旅客的吸引力漸漸降低。
What we learn from the above figures is retailing and shopping tourism is becoming less and less attractive to Mainland visitors
隨着人民幣貶值，內地旅客的消費意欲更疲弱。
Besides the depreciation of Renminbi has served to dampen their consumption desire
去年，特首在施政報告提出香港的旅遊業要朝"多元化"和"高增值"方向發展，於是我們便看到"電動方程式賽車錦標賽"在中環海濱 舉行。
Last year the Chief Executive suggested in his Policy Address that Hong Kongs tourism industry should move towards diversified and high value - added development and that is why the Formula E Championship took place in Central Harbourfront area
不過，政府所指的"多元化"和"高增值"，似乎離不開藉着舉辦"盛事"及大型活動來吸引人流。
Yet diversified and high value - added development seems to be necessarily linked with the approach of attracting visitor flows through staging mega and large - scale events according to the Government
今年的施政報告，亦仍然提出舉辦燈光匯演、體育盛事等，繼續沿用舉辦世界級盛事的手法來吸引旅客，似乎欠缺新意。
Following that same old approach of attracting visitors with world - class events this years Policy Address still proposes that we hold light shows and large - scale sports events . Devoid of novelty this approach is nothing to write home about
對於不只一次來港的旅客，這種模式可否吸引他們再次訪港呢？
Just wonder if it can serve to attract visitors having paid multiple visits to Hong Kong before to come again
我認識不少內地及外國朋友，他們都非常欣賞香港的自然環境，專程到西貢、荔枝窩等地方行山，感受新界的好山好水和鄉村的人文風景。
Many friends of mine both from the Mainland and abroad admire deeply the natural environment of Hong Kong . They travelled a long way to go hiking in places like Sai Kung Lai Chi Wo etc . to enjoy the beauty of nature and get in touch with the cultural landscape of villages there in the New Territories
近年，旅遊發展局推介舊工業區文化遊，成功讓旅客以嶄新角度了解香港的歷史和年輕一代的創意。
The Hong Kong Tourism Board has been promoting cultural tours to the old industrial areas in recent years and achieved success in enabling visitors to look at Hong Kongs history from new perspectives and learn also the creativity of our younger generation
此舉除了鼓勵本土創意文化外，亦豐富了旅客對香港的想象。
This initiative surely helps boost a local culture of creativity while enriching visitors imagination
說到"多元化"，政府曾否研究在偏遠鄉村發展文化遊及生態遊，以向旅客展示香港的另一個面貌、另一種感覺呢？
Regarding diversity has the Government ever considered developing cultural tours and eco - tours in remote villages so as to show the visitors a new façade of Hong Kong that gives a fresh feeling?
偏遠鄉村長期缺乏基本的水、電、路、排污等設施，而藉着政府在該等鄉村開發旅遊設施，當地居民的居住情況亦將獲得改善，締造雙贏局面。
Since water electricity roads sewage system and the like have been absent from those remote villages for ages the living condition of the villagers can be improved if the Government proceeds to build tourist facilities in those villages thus leading to a win - win situation
主席，我亦想談談香港的產業發展。
President I would also like to talk about the development of industries in Hong Kong
現時，香港的產業發展過於狹隘，經濟一直由金融業和地產業帶動，容易受經濟波動影響。
At present the development of industries in Hong Kong is too narrow . Our economy has been driven by the finance industry and real estate industry and is most susceptible to economic fluctuations
創新科技是一個重要的契機，發展香港另一類產業支柱。
Innovation and technology pose an important opportunity for developing other types of pillar industries in Hong Kong
政府去年成立創新及科技局，連結世界及內地頂尖的科研機構和創投公司。
Last year the Government set up the Innovation and Technology Bureau to link up top - tier global as well as Mainland research and development institutes and venture capital firms
今年施政報告花了22段篇幅，闡述了政府如何推動應用科技發展、扶助初創企業、推動"再工業化"和發展智慧城市。
In this years Policy Address there are altogether 22 paragraphs elaborating on how the Government will promote the development of applied scientific research help those start - ups promote re - industrialization and develop a smart city
無論在經貿和文化上，香港與內地都有着不可分割的關係。
Hong Kong is inalienable from the Mainland in terms of economic trade and cultural development
前海及落馬州河套區的"港深創新及科技園"，可以加強粵港人才和技術交流。
Both Qianhai and the Hong KongShenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop will provide platforms to enhance talent and technology exchange between Guangdong and Hong Kong
據傳媒報道，截至去年年底，前海累計已有4,000多家註冊港資企業，按年增長約50%，估計今年將再增加2,000多家企業。
According to media reports some 4,000 Hong Kong - invested enterprises have been registered in Qianhai as at the end of last year an increase of about 50 % year - on - year . It is estimated that the number of Hong Kong - invested enterprises will increase by over 2 000 this year
河套區的規劃，正正是香港在國家"十三五"規劃中，充分利用了"一國兩制"的優勢，擔當聯繫人的角色，聯繫外資進入內地，互惠互利。
The planning for the Lok Ma Chau Loop is a good example of our leveraging on the National 13 Five - Year Plan and fully capitalizing on the advantage of one country two systems to fulfil the role as a super connector and channel foreign capital into the Mainland
對於政府積極發展新興產業，我深表歡迎。
This brings mutual benefits . I really welcome the Governments proposal of promoting the development of emerging industries
不過，觀乎施政報告就創新科技的發展方面，似乎偏重於開拓"硬件"，集中資源在土地、基礎建設等領域，例如在科學園旁舉建一座"創新斗室"，提供住宿給外地科研人才、"Wi-Fi連通城市"的計劃，兩年內將增加免費上網熱點至34,000多個。
However regarding the contents of the Policy Address concerning innovation and technology it seems that emphasis has been placed on developing hardware including allocating resources mainly for increasing land supply and taking forward infrastructure projects such as the construction of an InnoCell adjacent to the Science Park to provide residential units to scientific research personnel from outside Hong Kong; the launch of the Wi - Fi Connected City Programme to increase the number of free Wi - Fi hotspots to 34 000 or so within two years
這些措施似乎都忽略了"軟件"方面的支援。
It seems that the Government has neglected the software required for supporting these initiatives
代理主席，行政長官上月發表任內最後一份施政報告，篇幅是自回歸以來最長的，提出的新措施超過180項。
Deputy President the last Policy Address delivered by the Chief Executive last month in his tenure is the longest one since the reunification with over 180 new measures
當中着墨最多、內容最豐富的是特首一向視為重中之重的房屋和土地政策。
Regarded as the top priorities by the Chief Executive all along the housing and land policies have been given the longest treatment and most comprehensive coverage
由此可見，現屆政府在僅餘的任期內仍然有決心透過短、中、長期的房屋及土地規劃政策，解決港人的住屋問題。
It can be seen from this that the current Government is still determined to resolve the housing problem for Hong Kong people in the mere remainder of its tenure through short - medium - and long - term policies on housing and land planning
猶記得特首在2012年當選時曾經說過，房屋政策是他施政的重中之重，承諾穩定樓價、確保一般公屋申請者平均3年可以"上樓"，又承諾自2012-2013年度起的4年內可以落成75,000多個公屋單位。
As I can still remember the Chief Executive said that the housing policy was a top priority in his administration when he won the election in 2012 . He promised that he would stabilize property prices and ensure that general public housing applicants could receive public housing allocation in three years on average . He likewise assured us that some 75 000 public housing units would be built within the four years starting from 2012 - 2013
然而，特首的5年任期接近尾聲，現時的樓價依然處於歷史高位，公屋輪候人數已經突破28萬人，平均輪候時間長達4年半。
But now as the Chief Executives five - year tenure is drawing to an end property prices still remain at a historically high level with over 280 000 people on the waiting list for public housing and a waiting time of as long as four and a half years on average
公屋實際的建屋量至今只有51,000個。
The actual construction volume of public housing so far is merely 51 000 units
代理主席，雖然特首在這方面的承諾未能夠完全兌現，但我相信特首和他的管治團隊已盡最大努力，覓地建屋，以追補前任政府停止造地建屋的缺失。
Deputy President even though the Chief Executive is unable to fulfil all his promises in this regard I still believe the Chief Executive and his governing team have exerted their utmost to find lands for housing construction purpose in an attempt to make up for the shortfall resulting from the inaction of the previous Government in creating land for housing construction purpose
特首表示在未來3至4年，一手私人住宅單位供應量將達到94,000個，比現屆政府上任時高出45%。
According to the Chief Executive the supply of first - hand private residential units in the next three or four years will be as much as 94 000 units 45 % higher than the figure at the beginning of the current - term Government
在2016-2017年度起的5年內，政府亦預計興建約94,500個公營房屋單位。
The Government has likewise projected that around 94 500 public housing units will be built during the five years starting from 2016 - 2017
我認為，這些都是現屆政府通過4年多的努力才能夠取得的成績，大家應該予以肯定。
In my view these achievements can only be realized with the efforts of the present Government over the past four years and should command our approval
事實上，住屋問題已經困擾港人多年。
As a matter of fact the housing problem has been perplexing Hong Kong people for many years
但是，當住屋單位供不應求，樓價超出正常人可以負擔的極限時；當"有瓦遮頭"、置業安居等最基本的生活需要都變成遙不可及的夢想時；當輪候公屋的基層和絕大部分年輕人都因為住屋問題而怨聲載道，觸發嚴重的社會矛盾甚至撕裂時，我認為任何可以紓緩問題的方法都應該考慮。
But when property prices have exceeded the affordable limits of ordinary people due to excessive demand; when basic living needs such as having a roof over ones head and acquiring a home have turned into an unreachable dream; when the housing problem has led to widespread grievances among grass - roots people waiting for public housing allocation and also an overwhelming majority of youngsters and triggered serious social conflicts and even dissension I think any measures which are capable of alleviating the problem should be considered
房屋政策歸根究底是土地供應的問題。
The crux of the housing policy is land supply
香港應如何開拓土呢地？
How should Hong Kong develop lands?
是大規模發展棕地？
Should we embark on massive development of brownfields?
抑或是大舉填海、造地建屋 呢？
Or should we undertake massive reclamation projects to create lands for housing construction purpose?
回歸前10年，港英政府的建屋計劃是在清拆、搬村等影響原居民的基礎上完成的，原居民當天的讓步和犧牲土地成就了今天多個新市鎮的完善發展。
Ten years before the reunification the British Hong Kong administration accomplished its housing construction plans on the basis of demolishing and relocating villages and this has affected our indigenous villagers . The concessions made by indigenous villagers and also the lands they sacrificed years back have enabled the comprehensive development of many new towns today
今年，特首在施政報告中提出效野公園"可加可減"的概念，值得社會大眾理性思考和深入探討。
The idea of introducing an adjustment mechanism for country parks as put forth by the Chief Executive in the Policy Address this year deserves rational consideration and thorough examination among people in the community
郊野公園負起"市肺"的角色，可以綠化環境，也是自然植物和生物的棲息地。
Country parks as urban lungs can add green to the environment and provide habitats for natural vegetation and living things
郊野公園是港人的集體資產，裏面的一草一木、一樹一花都應該珍惜。
Country parks are a collective asset of Hong Kong people and we should treasure the grass the trees and the flowers therein
《郊野公園條例》於1967年制定，香港目前有24個郊野公園及22個特別地區，佔香港土地面積四成多，是住宅用地總面積的6倍。
The Country Parks Ordinance was enacted in 1967 . At present the 24 country parks and 22 special areas account for over 40 % of the total land area of Hong Kong six times the total area of our residential land
相比外地，例如台灣和日本，郊野地方分別只佔8.63%和5.6%。
In comparison country parks in overseas places such as Taiwan and Japan merely account for 8.63 % and 5.6 % of their respective total land areas
我相信以全球計算，香港的綠化水平已屬於中上。
I believe that globally the greening level in Hong Kong is already above average
《郊野公園條例》制定至今已經40年，郊區與市區的分界隨着城市不斷發展而日漸模糊，過去郊野公園亦絕非碰不得的禁地。
It has been 40 years since the enactment of the Country Parks Ordinance . With continued urban development the delineation between rural areas and urban areas has turned increasingly blurred . In the past country parks were not forbidden areas which were absolutely untouchable as such
自1992年起，政府曾經最少3次改劃或試圖改劃兩個郊野公園的界線，以作其他用途。
Since 1992 the Government has re - delineated or attempted to re - delineate the boundaries of two country parks at least three times to achieve other uses
在1995年，政府從大欖郊野公園剔除兩公頃的土地，以興建3號幹線的引道，同時把兩幅合共42公頃的土地納入該郊野公園的範圍。
In 1995 the Government excised 2 hectares of land from the Tai Lam Country Park to develop an approach road for Route 3 . At the same time the Government incorporated two pieces of land with a total area of 42 hectares into the same country park
由此可見，郊野公園的"可加可減"機制應該隨着環境轉變、社區發展，以及市民生活需要而適時檢討，適度調節，不能夠再盲目地將綠化土地凍結。
From this we can see that the adjustment mechanism for country parks should undergo a timely review and appropriate adjustments owing to the changing environment community development and peoples living needs . We should refrain from blindly freezing our green areas
當基層市民越住越貴，卻越住越細，每天窩居在"劏房"或"棺材房"，大家又於心何忍呢？
How can Members possibly bear the sight of people paying higher rents for smaller homes and also dwelling in sub - divided units or coffin flats every day?
如果市民連棲息之所亦欠奉，他們還有心情和興趣與我們討論綠化或保育嗎？
If people do not have a home how can they possibly have the mood and interest to discuss greening or conservation with us?
主席，年輕人要成家立室，新來港人士又要安居樂業，覓地建屋的問題絕對不能夠拖延。
President young people want to found their families and new arrivals want to live and work in contentment . The task of finding lands for housing construction purpose absolutely brooks no delay
例如，適度開發郊野公園可以為數以萬計的低收入家庭建立安樂窩，可以使長者得到妥善的照顧。
For example developing country parks on an appropriate scale can offer homes to tens of thousands of low - income families while also enabling elderly people to receive proper care
這樣的土地運用必定更有意義，亦可解決港人居住的問題，是為我們下一代謀求福 祉的可行之路，這項政策亦值得下屆政府延續及落實。
The use of land this way is certainly more fruitful and is able to resolve the housing problem of Hong Kong people . This is a feasible way to foster the well - being of our next generation and it is worthwhile for the next Government to sustain and implement this policy
我期望現屆政府盡快建立多方面的平台，全面審視郊野公園邊陲地方的生態價值及用途。
I hope that the present Government can expeditiously set up a multifaceted platform for comprehensively reviewing the ecological values and uses of the lands in the peripheries of country parks
畢竟，環保與發展從來不應該處於對立面。
After all environmentalism and development should never be adversary to each other
主席，我亦想討論保育基金及非原址換地的政策。
President I also wish to discuss the conservation fund and the policy on non - in - situ land exchange
施政報告建議"為設立保育基金成立籌備委員會，參考外地及本港有關基金的經驗，研究此基金的工作範圍、運作模式和所需法例及資源"，以推動復育偏遠鄉郊的環境。
As proposed by the Policy Address the Government will establish a preparatory committee to study the ambit and modus operandi of a conservation fund as well as the legislation and resources required for setting up such a fund . In the process we will take into account relevant experience in and outside Hong Kong . The aim is to promote the revitalization of remote rural areas
