調查委員會就上述指稱的考慮因素及意見詳載於本報告第4章。
Details of the Investigation Committees considerations and views on the allegations above are set out in Chapter 4 of this Report
憑藉《基本法》第七十九條第七項，議員可因行為不檢而受到譴責。
By virtue of Article 797 of the Basic Law a Member may be censured for misbehaviour
調查委員會認為，譴責議案各項指稱的關鍵部分均已成立，而經確立的許智峯議員的行為，屬《基本法》第七十九條第七項所指的行為不檢。
The Investigation Committee has found that the material parts of the allegations in the censure motion have been substantiated and the acts of Mr HUI Chi - fung as established amount to misbehaviour under Article 797 of the Basic Law
依調查委員會之見，許議員的行為令立法會的信譽受損，而他行事的方式，使其處境可能有負市民對立法會議員在一般應有的行為準則方面的期望。
In the Investigation Committees view Mr HUIs acts have brought discredit upon the Legislative Council and he has conducted himself in a way that has placed himself in a position which may be contrary to the generally assumed standard of conduct expected of a Legislative Council Member
調查委員會認為，譴責議案附表所述經確立的事實，足以構成譴責許議員的理據。
The Investigation Committee comes to the view that the facts stated in the Schedule to the censure motion as established constitute grounds for the censure of Mr HUI
主席，雖然去年7月1日有部分示威人士衝擊立法會綜合大樓造成嚴重破壞，以及受到2019冠狀病毒病疫情的影響，拖慢了工作進度，調查委員會仍能完成工作，於今天向立法會提交報告。
President although the progress of work has been slowed down due to the havoc wrought to the Legislative Council Complex after it was stormed by some protesters on 1 July last year and also to the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic the Investigation Committee can still finish its work and submit the Report to the Legislative Council today
就此，我 衷心感謝各位委員的支持，以及各位證人，特別是立法會秘書處的協助，使調查委員會的工作可順利完成。
In this regard I sincerely thank members for their support and thank all witnesses especially the Legislative Council Secretariat for their assistance so that the work of the Investigation Committee can be accomplished smoothly
這是委員會發表的第二十五份年報，匯報委員會在2019年的工作。
This is the 25 annual report of the Committee which provides an account of our work for the year 2019
委員會的主要職責，是監察廉政公署處理對該署及其人員不涉及刑事的投訴。
The Committees major responsibility is to monitor the handling by the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC of non - criminal complaints lodged by anyone against ICAC and its officers
委員會不但處理投訴，同時亦小心檢視廉政公署的工作程序和慣例中需要改善或更新之處，以避免類似問題日後再次發生。
Moreover the Committee does not only handle the complaints against the officers concerned but also carefully examines the ICAC procedures and practices that require enhancement or updating to guard against similar problems in the future
在2019年，委員會一共舉行了3次會議，審議了廉政公署內部調查及監察組就13宗投訴個案提交的調查報告，涉及共68項指控。
The Committee held 3 meetings in 2019 and deliberated on 13 complaint investigation and assessment reports prepared by the internal investigation and monitoring unit of ICAC
其中兩宗投訴內的3項指控查明屬實或部分屬實，共涉及3名廉政公署人員，有關上級人員分別向3人作出訓示。
Of the 13 complaints covering 68 allegations 3 allegations in 2 complaints were found to be substantiated or partially substantiated . The allegations concerned a total of 3 ICAC officers who were as a result given advice respectively by their senior officers
此外，委員會亦審議及通過了3份評估報告。
Moreover the Committee considered and endorsed 3 assessment reports
委員會同意這些投訴缺乏理據，或內容上只重複先前經已由委員會處理的投訴，因此無須正式展開調查。
The Committee agreed that such cases were irrational or repeated complaints previously disposed of through the Committee therefore no formal investigative actions would be taken
在審議投訴時，委員會亦會聯同廉政公署管理層，考慮在處理個案中涉及的經驗，找出可予改善之處，務求與時並進，精益求精。
Together with ICAC management we also looked into areas where ICAC officers need to strengthen themselves based on the lessons learnt from the complaints considered with a view to keeping abreast of the times and striving to excel themselves
經審視2019年審議的調查報告後，廉政公署舉辦了一系列簡報會並加強培訓課程內容，以期在進行搜查、備存檢取證物紀錄，以及處理所收到外間通訊方面，提升前線人員的警覺性。
After a careful examination of the issues identified in the investigation reports considered during 2019 ICAC organized a number of briefing sessions and strengthened the training programmes for frontline officers with a view to enhancing their vigilance in conducting search operations maintaining records of seizures and handling of incoming correspondences
廉政公署又為所有人員舉行簡報會，提醒他們須在處理與選舉相關事宜上提高專業敏感度。
Briefings were also given to all officers to heighten their professional sensitivity when dealing with election - related matters
同時，廉政公署已着手檢討用作記錄投訴人或證人供詞的標準表格，尤其是要確保向投訴人/證人所收集的個人資料是必須及足夠而又不會過多。
Furthermore ICAC had initiated a review on the format of the standard form used for recording the statement made by a complainant or witness particularly to ensure that the personal data collected from the complainantwitness are necessary and adequate but not excessive
委員會會致力確保廉政公署秉持專業精神，妥善處理接獲的投訴。
The Committee endeavours to ensure the professional and proper handling of relevant complaints by the ICAC
各位議員如有任何意見，歡迎向委員會秘書提出。
Members are welcome to offer us their views and suggestions through the Committee Secretariat
我謹此向各位議員及市民對委員會的支持，表示謝意。
I appreciate the support of Members of this Council and members of the public for the work of the Committee
主席，我謹以房屋事務委員會主席的身份，向立法會提交事務委員會2019-2020年度的工作報告，並匯報數項重點工作。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the Panel on Housing the Panel I submit the work report of the Panel for the year 2019 - 2020 and brief the Council on several key pieces of work of the Panel
委員對政府自《長遠房屋策略》制訂以來，在追趕房屋供應目標的表現感到失望。
Members expressed disappointment with the performance of the Government in catching up with the housing supply target since it formulated the Long Term Housing Strategy
委員尤其關注2024-2025年度及以後的公營房屋土地供應情況。
Members were especially concerned about the land supply for public housing in 2024 - 2025 and beyond
為增加公營房屋供應，委員促請政府當局就重建高樓齡屋邨訂定時間表；就各項開發土地的倡議進行研究；增加公營房屋興建量，並為過渡性房屋制訂長期供應目標。
In order to increase public housing supply members called on the Administration to set a timetable for redeveloping aged estates; study various propositions of land development; and increase public housing production with a long - term supply target for transitional housing
在過渡性房屋供應方面，委員雖然支持政府撥款50億元，協助非政府機構推行過渡性房屋項目，但同樣擔心該等社福為主的機構並非擅長房屋工程，所以促請政府當局積極邀請香港房屋委員會、香港房屋協會及市區重建局等相關法定機構，參與興建、提供過渡性房屋。
Regarding transitional housing members supported the Governments proposal to allocate 5 billion to assist non - governmental organizations in taking forward transitional housing projects . However members were concerned that these organizations which were mainly of a social welfare nature were not specialized in housing projects . They thus urged the Administration to actively engage statutory organizations such as the Hong Kong Housing Authority HA Hong Kong Housing Society HS and Urban Renewal Authority in constructing and providing transitional housing
委員支持施政報告中宣布加快出售39個租者置其屋計劃屋邨的42,000個未售單位的措施。
Members expressed support for the initiative announced in the Policy Address to accelerate the sale of the 42 000 unsold flats in the 39 Tenants Purchase Scheme TPS estates
委員要求房委會考慮向租置計劃屋邨提供額外的維修及工程資助。
Members requested HA to consider providing additional repair works subsidies to the TPS estates
委員認為不少公屋家庭確實希望購買其居住的單位，因此促請當局重推租置計劃，以重燃中低收入家庭的置業希望。
Members were of the view that many families in public rental housing PRH did aspire to buy the flats in which they resided . Members thus urged the Administration to relaunch TPS to rekindle the hope of low and middle - income families to become home owners
政府當局表示，重推租置計劃，會令短期內可供編配的公屋單位數目減少，繼而會令公屋輪候時間延長，但行政長官在施政報告中承諾，會在房屋供應穩定下，作出重啟出售公屋的研究。
The Administration advised that relaunching TPS would reduce the number of PRH units available for allocation in the short term which would lengthen the waiting time for PRH . However the Chief Executive undertook in the Policy Address that the Government would look into the subject of re - launching TPS when the housing supply was more stable
事務委員會一直關注基層"劏房"住戶所面對的困境，並早已主張政府應展開推行租務管制的研究。
The plight of the grassroots residing in subdivided units has been a subject of concern of the Panel . We advised the Government since long time ago to initiate study on introducing tenancy control
對於當局遲至2020年4月才成立的"劏房"租務管制研究工作小組，並需要18個月才就租務管制作出建議，並欠缺基層"劏房戶"及關注基層住屋團體的代表，委員深表不 滿。
The Panel expressed great disappointment that the Administration only appointed the Task Force for the Study on Tenancy Control of Subdivided Units as late as in April 2020 and the Task Force would need another 18 months to make recommendations on tenancy control; and that its membership did not contain representatives of grass - roots households of subdivided units and concern groups on grass - roots housing
自去年年底至今，經濟急速惡化，租金檢討機制數據滯後，導致逆市加租，故委員亦要求房屋署和房協為公屋租戶代繳或凍結租金，為屋邨停車場作出租金寬免。
In view of the rapidly deteriorating economic condition since last year end and the data time lag of the rent review mechanism which resulted in rent increases being imposed against the market trend members requested the Housing Department and HS to pay rents for or freeze rents of PRH tenants and to offer rent concessions to carpark tenants of PRH estates
長遠而言，事務委員會促請政府當局檢討租金調整機制，亦要求放寬租金援助計劃的門檻，簡化審批。
In the long run the Panel urged the Administration to review the rent adjustment mechanism relax the threshold of the Rent Assistance Scheme and streamline the vetting and approval procedures
主席，這是我在這個立法年度以事務委員會主席身份，最後一次向大會報告工作，我感謝各位委員、秘書處及政府當局以有商有量、包容理性的態度向政府出謀獻策。
President this is my last time in this legislative session to report the work of the Panel in my capacity as Panel Chairman to this Council . I thank all Panel members the Secretariat and the Administration for having provided views and strategies to the Government in a communicating accommodating and sensible manner
我寄語政府能夠繼續努力，多聆聽不同持份者的意見，齊心合力，令市民安居樂業，期望有緣再會。
And I would advise the Government to continue to work hard and to listen more to the views of different stakeholders so as to work concertedly in providing a desirable environment for people to live and work . I hope I will have the opportunity to meet you all again
鍾國斌議員就"經濟發展事務委員會2019-2020年度報告"向本會發言。
Mr CHUNG Kwok - pan will address the Council on the Report of the Panel on Economic Development 2019 - 2020
主席，本人謹以政制事務委員會主席的身份，向本會重點匯報事務委員會在本立法年度的商議工作。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the Panel on Constitutional Affairs the Panel I now highlight to this Council the Panels deliberations in this legislative session
事務委員會一向密切監察公共選舉的安排。
The Panel kept a close watch on public election arrangements
就2020年立法會換屆選舉，委員普遍支持政府當局建議，以2017年至2020年之間的預計累積通脹率為基礎，調高候選人的資助額及選舉開支限額。
Speaking of the 2020 Legislative Council General Election members generally supported the Administrations proposal of increasing the subsidy rate of the financial assistance for candidates and election expenses limits on the basis of the estimated cumulative inflation rate from 2017 to 2020
事務委員會亦討論了《立法會選舉活動建議指引》、選舉實務安排及宣傳計劃。
The Panel also discussed the Proposed Guidelines on Election - related Activities in respect of the Legislative Council Election and also the practical arrangements and publicity for the election
委員就選舉安排提出了多項建議，包括要求當局增設足夠的投票站，以應付登記選民人數增加的情況。
Members put forth various recommendations on the arrangements for the election including requesting the authorities to set up an adequate number of additional polling stations to cope with the increasing number of registered voters
此外，委員亦敦促當局須因應2019冠狀病毒病的疫情，制訂選舉應變計劃。
Besides members urged that the authorities must formulate an election contingency plan having regard to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019
委員亦促請當局採取措施，確保選舉能夠在和平安全的環境下進行。
Members also urged the authorities to adopt measures to ensure that the election could be conducted in a peaceful and safe environment
事務委員會曾討論《2019年區議會一般選舉報告書》。
The Panel discussed the Report on the 2019 District Council Ordinary Election
委員關注到，該次選舉有不少選民需要輪候長時間才能投票。
Members were concerned that many voters had to wait a long time before they could cast their votes in that election
委員促請當局汲取經驗，以期作出更妥善的投票安排。
Members urged the authorities to learn from experience with view to making better voting arrangements
事務委員會並且敦促當局應積極研究如何在日後選舉的不同環節應用資訊科技，以提高選舉流程的效率。
The Panel also urged the authorities to proactively study ways to use information technology in different aspects of future election process so as to enhance the efficiency of the election process
保障個人資料一向是事務委員會重點關注的議題之一。
Protection of personal data was always an issue of major concern to the Panel
事務委員會曾討論《個人資料條例》的初步修訂方向，並且向政府提出多項修訂建議。
The Panel discussed the preliminary direction for amending the Personal Data Privacy Ordinance and raised a number of amendment proposals with the Government
政府承諾會審慎研究事務委員會提出的建議，聯同個人資料私隱專員公署作更深入的研究，並且在適當時候諮詢相關持份者。
The Government undertook that it would carefully examine the Panels proposals conduct more in - depth studies with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data and consult the relevant stakeholders when appropriate
此外，事務委員會聽取了當局簡介政府在消除性傾向及性別認同歧視方面的工作進展。
Furthermore the Panel received the authorities briefing on the Governments progress of work in tackling discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity
委員察悉，當局現正制訂《不歧視性小眾約章》，讓提供貨品、設施及服務的機構自願採納，以增加有關機構人員對性小眾的接納和友善程度。
Members noted that the authorities were drawing up a charter on non - discrimination of sexual minorities for voluntary adoption by providers of goods facilities and services with a view to enhancing acceptance and friendliness towards sexual minorities among the personnel of the relevant organizations
政府當局表示，在聽取事務委員會的意見後，當局會與持份者進行討論，以及研究適合在本港推行的反歧視方案，並於稍後提出其工作方向。
The Administration advised that after receiving the Panels views the authorities would hold discussions with stakeholders examine those anti - discrimination proposals that were suitable for implementation in Hong Kong and put forth a working direction later on
我謹以環境事務委員會副主席的身份，提交事務委員會2019-2020年度的工作報告，並簡述事務委員會數項重點工作。
In my capacity as Deputy Chairman of the Panel on Environmental Affairs the Panel I submit the report on the work of the Panel for 2019 - 2020 and outline several major areas of work of the Panel
在改善空氣質素方面，事務委員會促請政府在修改空氣質素指標時，以保障市民健康為首要目標，包括取消放寬微細懸浮粒子24小時平均濃度的超標次數，並同時收緊可吸入懸浮粒子及臭氧的空氣質素指標。
In respect of improving air quality the Panel urged the Government to undertake review of Air Quality Objectives AQOs with the primary goal of protecting public health including withdrawing its proposal of relaxing the allowable exceedances for 24 - hour average concentration of fine suspended particulates as well as tightening the AQOs for respirable suspended particulates and ozone at the same time
此外，事務委員會繼續監察發展綠色交通的措施。
In addition the Panel continued to monitor measures for the development of green transport
委員支持當局加快推行電動公共小巴及電動渡輪的先導試驗計劃，同時分階段淘汰歐盟IV期柴油商業車。
Members supported the implementation of the pilot schemes for electric public light buses and electric ferries by the Administration expeditiously as well as the phasing out of Euro IV diesel commercial vehicles
委員建議當局研究淘汰以化石燃料驅動的傳統車輛，並就推廣電動車的政策訂定具體目標。
Members suggested that the Administration should consider phasing out conventional vehicles powered by fossil fuels and set specific targets for the policy of promoting the use of electric vehicles EVs
為此，事務委員會轄下的研究電動車發展相關事宜小組委員會已展開工作，聚焦檢討及研究推廣電動車的政策目標及支援措施。
In this connection the Subcommittee to Study Issues Relating to the Development of Electric Vehicles formed under the Panel has commenced work to review and study in a focused manner the policy objectives and support measures to promote the use of EVs
至於保育方面，事務委員會曾討論海岸公園的最新整體漁業管理策略，包括在海岸公園內禁止商業捕魚的範圍，以期在海岸公園保育與捕魚業可持續發展之間取得平衡。
As regards conservation the Panel discussed the updated holistic fisheries management strategy in marine parks including the scope of commercial fishing ban imposed in marine parks with a view to striking a balance between the conservation of marine parks and the sustainable development of the fisheries industry
委員亦就提升郊野公園的康樂及教育潛力的計劃提供多項意見，特別是改善郊野公園的環境衞生、增加道路及單車徑等設施。委員亦支持當局加強對外來入侵物種的管理措施。事務委員會曾聽取政府在廢塑膠、廚餘及園林廢物管理方面的工作進展。
Members put forward a number of suggestions on the plan to enhance the recreation and education potential of country parks especially on the improvement of the environmental hygiene conditions of country parks and the provision of such facilities as new roads and new bike trails
事實上，香港的產假只有10周，一直也被批評說是落後於國際，所以即使今次修訂增加至 14周，與其他國家或地方相比可能仍有些距離，但總算踏出了一步，拉近了距離和水平。
As a matter of fact the maternity leave in Hong Kong has been criticized for lagging behind the international community as it is only a 10 - week leave . For that reason although it will be extended to 14 weeks through this amendment there is still a gap between Hong Kong and other countries or regions . But anyway we have made a step forward by closing the gap
有關的條例對上一次修訂已是37年前，我們實在有必要與時並進，通過相關修訂。
The relevant Ordinance was amended 37 years ago therefore we need to keep abreast with the times by endorsing the relevant amendments
在37年前，家庭概念仍然是男主外、女主內，女士很多時候也要全職在家照顧小孩，即使有工作，她們在職場上的工作也會較簡單，容易抽空照顧小孩。
Thirty - seven years ago the concept that women were to take care of the family while men were to work outside was still deep rooted in society women often had to work full - time as a housewife in order to take care of their children at home . Even though some might have other jobs their jobs would mostly be simple ones so that they could spare the time to take care of their kids
所以，10周產假在37年前的問題應該不大，但時至今天，與37年前便完全是另一番景象。
For that reason a 10 - week maternity leave would be fine 37 years ago . But the situation nowadays is very different from that of 37 years ago
社會上很多高職位人士和高官，甚至我們的特首也是女性，所以很多女性其實也有很重要的工作，而當夫婦兩者也有工作時，在生完小孩後，如果兩夫婦也有工作，自然便難以抽身照顧小孩，若考慮到經濟能力問題，無法辭職專心照顧小孩時。
Many holders of senior positions and high ranking officials in society nowadays are women even our Chief Executive is a woman . Therefore many women are holding important posts . When the husband and wife have their respective jobs it would be quite difficult for them to spare time to take care of their child after the birth of the child
在這情況下，10周產假絕對是不足夠的，其實14周也未算足夠，但我明白到今次修訂未必能夠一次過追回所有步伐，但踏出這一步便是重要的，所以我是會支持今次對條例的修訂。
Actually a 14 - week leave is not adequate either . I understand that the amendments this time around may not necessarily be able to make up for all the shortfalls but it is an important step forward . For that reason I will support the amendments
宏觀地看，香港遲婚和生育率低的問題也不是新鮮事，但長遠而言，這樣的確會影響到香港的人力資源。
Generally speaking late marriage and low birth rate in Hong Kong are nothing new at all . But in the long run it will definitely affect Hong Kongs manpower resources
隨着人口老化的問題持續惡化，我們有需要鼓勵生育。
As the problem of an ageing gets worse we need to encourage childbearing
雖然產假的長短，很多時候並不是夫婦決定生育與否的主要考慮因素，但更長的產假無疑能夠令他們減輕壓力和顧慮，間接推動他們多考慮生育問題。
Even though the length of maternity leave is not usually the decisive factor for a couple to consider whether they should have a baby a longer maternity leave will undoubtedly ease their pressure and anxiety which will indirectly encourage them to think about having a baby
此外，其中有一項很重要的修訂，就是把"流產"定義由28周縮減至24周，即是以往懷孕滿28周才可以享有產假及領取疾病津貼，現時改為滿24周便可以領取。
Furthermore one of the very important amendments is to shorten the period of pregnancy under the definition of miscarriage from 28 weeks to 24 weeks that is female employees are only entitled to maternity leave and sickness allowance after a pregnancy period of 28 weeks at present but it will be revised to 24 weeks
其實，這本應是理所當然的事情，但卻要到今天才能夠提出修訂，其實也是遲了，但終歸也是應該要做的事情。
Actually that is absolutely right but the amendment has not been made until today it is long overdue this is something that ought to be done
因此，24周的界線，在香港不同範疇上，其實早已有一定公認性，在數字上也是有科學根據的。
For that reason a demarcation of 24 weeks is commonly recognized by various sectors in Hong Kong and as far as the number is concerned it has its scientific basis
因此，把"流產"定義與它看齊是相當合理的，我相信這項修訂也是值得通過的。
For that reason using such a period for the definition of miscarriage is reasonable and I believe the amendment is worthy of passage
不過，我剛才也說過，無論是10周還是14周，抑或流產安排方面，我都贊同政府的工作，但今次修訂仍然有點美中不足，例如孕婦放取產假只能領八成薪金而非全薪的安排，在今次修訂中並沒有作出改動。
Nevertheless I have also mentioned that regardless of 10 weeks or 14 weeks or the definition of miscarriage I support the Government in all of these areas . But the amendments this time around are still not perfect . For example pregnant women taking maternity leave can only get 80 % instead of 100 % of their salaries which will remain unchanged after the amendments this time around
我希望政府聽到這個聲音，在未來能夠盡快作出檢討，從而作出改善。
I hope that the Government will listen to such voice and conduct the review in future as soon as practicable with a view to making improvement
此外，我們亦認同修正案提出額外4周產假的薪酬上限由36,822元上調至80,000元，由最初計劃月薪50,000元以下僱員包底上調至月薪100,000元，從而涵蓋了99%的在職婦女，令薪酬較高的婦女也能領取八成薪酬，這是好事。
Moreover we also support the upward adjustment of the cap for the 4 - week additional maternity leave pay from 36,822 to 80,000 which was originally based on the salary of an employee earning 50,000 or less a month and now has been increased to a salary of 100,000 . In so doing 99 % of working women will be covered meaning that those relatively highly paid women can also get 80 % of their salaries during maternity leave . It is commendable
畢竟政府的政策原意是增加對孕婦的支援，我相信應該要做到底，落實這些好事。
After all the Governments policy intent is to enhance the support for pregnant women . I believe that the Government should make its fullest effort by implementing this good suggestion
今年年底實施，原因是要成立專責辦事處、取得立法會撥款等。
The reason is that the Government needs time to set up a dedicated reimbursement office and obtain the necessary funding from the Legislative Council
我認為這情況並不理想，這些有利民生的政策其實應該盡快落實。
I consider this less than satisfactory . Such policies which will be beneficial to peoples livelihood should be implemented as soon as possible
其實，根據《釋義及通則條例》，局長可以就不同條文訂明不同的生效日期，所以，我們要求局長在《條例草案》通過後，對於一些未必即時做不到的，例如縮短"流產"定義、令懷孕滿24周孕婦提早取得疾病津貼，其實跟產假的額外開支沒有太大關係。
Actually under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance Cap . 1 the Secretary may designate different commencement dates for different provisions . For that reason we request the Secretary to announce earlier commencement dates for some of the new provisions which are possible to be immediately implemented and not so relevant to the additional costs arising from maternity leave such as those concerning shortening the period under the definition of miscarriage which will enable pregnant women reaching 24 weeks of pregnancy to receive the sickness allowance
如果這些情況可以在技術上解決得到，在《條例草案》通過後可以及早生效，就此我希望局長稍後可以回應。
If all of these are technically feasible and the provisions concerned can be implemented at an earlier date after the passage of the Bill I hope that the Secretary will provide his response later on
綜合而言，我絕對支持有關的議案。
In sum I absolutely support the relevant motion
雖然今次的修訂走了很多彎路，但到了會期的尾聲，下星期已是立法會最後一次會議，今天是立法會倒數第二次會議，我也擔心反對派稍後又要求停會或"拉布"，最終不幸令《條例草案》無法通過。
The amendments this time around have encountered many twists and turns . But as this legislative session draws to a close―the last Council meeting will be held next week and this meeting is the second last Council meeting of the Legislative Council―I am concerned that the opposition camp will ask for an adjournment or make a filibuster which may eventually prevent the Bill from being passed
然而，我們相信建制派同事一定會盡力令《條例草案》通過。
Nevertheless we believe that Members from the pro - establishment camp will do their best to ensure the passage of the Bill
我希望大家即使真的要"玩嘢"或"攬炒"，其實只餘下最後一兩星期，現在是時候收手、停止，一起支持《條例草案》的修訂及通過，讓婦女和孕婦可以取得合理的權益及應有的福利。
I hope that even if some Members want to play tricks to achieve their goal of only a week or two is left it is time for them to cut it out and stop to give their support to the amendments and the passage of the Bill so as to allow women and pregnant women to enjoy their rightful benefits interests and welfare entitlements
主席，我以發展事務委員會主席的身份，向本會提交事務委員會本年度的工作報告，並簡述數項重點工作。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the Panel on Development the Panel I submit to this Council the report on the work of the Panel for the current session . I will also highlight several major items of work of the Panel
