代理主席，我姑且從沒有甚麼道理的角度來回答這個問題，只是因為一個人，就是陳茂波。
Deputy President let me answer this question from this angle of no reason
為何陳茂波的一番言論，會令我無須思考、無須理由、無須原因甚至無須論述及推論，便直接反對政府發行綠色債券的計劃呢？
It is just because of one person Paul CHAN . Why do Paul CHANs remarks make me oppose the Governments plan to issue green bonds rightaway without having to give it some thought without any grounds and reasons or even not having to undergo discussion and inference?
我現在嘗試整理思路，解釋為何因為陳茂波而支持這項中止待續議案。
I am now trying to sort out my thoughts and explain why I support the adjournment motion because of Paul CHAN
首先，政府有一句關於舉債的口號，經常提醒香港市民"借錢梗要還，咪俾錢中介"。
In the first place the Government often reminds Hongkongers with its slogan in respect of making borrowings You have to repay your loans . Dont pay any intermediaries
如果你有能力，還是靠自己較好；如果要借款，便別妄想那麼便宜，中介會代你做所有事，這是要償還的，正所謂"還得到先好借"。
You had better rely on yourself if you are able to do so . If you have to make borrowings do not do so lightly and assume that the intermediaries will do everything for you
試問政府本身有那麼多錢，想推動環保，既然有錢、有能力、有管理、有知識、又"打得"，為何還要借錢呢？
You have to make repayments just as the saying goes Borrow only if you can repay! . The Government is so well - off and it aims to promote environmental protection . Given its wealth ability management capability knowledge and being a good fighter I wonder why the Government still has to make borrowings
為何要發行債券來發展環保事業或項目呢？
Why should it issue bonds to take forward environmental protection causes or projects?
可以有不同的解說，但無論如何亦不會改變我的看法。
There can be different explanations but I will not change my mind anyway
若要說發行綠色債券是否有害，發行債券的計劃本身談不上有害，但我在這裏作一個小結，其實此舉是多餘的，即"多嚿魚"這不是粗言是"多嚿魚"。
Speaking of whether green bond issuances will do any harm the plan to issue bonds itself cannot be regarded as harmful . However let me make a brief conclusion here it is in fact unnecessary―that is redundant―this is not a swear word I am just saying that it is redundant
政府以任何名目搞發展、搞環保、搞綠色事業，大家也會支持。
All of us will lend it our support if the Government takes forward development environmental protection and green causes under any pretexts
例如政府說香港未來要花5,000億元興建海水化淡廠，稱之為"綠色海水化淡廠"，我舉腳贊成；假如政府說要興建焚化爐，雖然大家也會認為是厭惡性設施，但如果稱之為"綠色焚化爐"，在18區興建各自的焚化爐，我舉起所有東西來贊成；假如政府說要興建"綠色堆填區"雖然事情本身有點矛盾但大家也會贊成，為甚麼？
For instance if the Government says that Hong Kong has to spend 500 billion to construct a desalination plant in the future and call it a green desalination plant I will give it my full support . If the Government plans to construct incinerators though everyone would consider it an obnoxious facility I will give it my full support by all means if we call it a green incinerator and build one in each of the 18 districts . If the Government intends to construct a green landfill―albeit this is somewhat self - contradictory―everyone will also agree
因為政府以環保、綠色為名，沒有人會反對。
Why? . Because no one will voice opposition if the Government acts in the name of environmental protection and green
就正如政府說將來人口老化，不如推出"灰色債券"，可能大家也會贊成，因為事情本身在社會上和倫理上，大家都認為沒有所謂。
Similarly if the Government suggests issuing grey bonds in the light of the ageing population in the future perhaps everyone will agree as well . Because we do not find any problems with it from the social and ethical perspectives
因為這些事情本身應該要做，但為何要發債來做呢？
Because these are what we ought to do but why should we achieve them through issuing bonds?
然後政府又說，推出綠色債券要看市場反應，那麼政府為何不身先士卒去做呢？
The Government then says that market response has to be taken into account for the launch of green bonds . In that case why does the Government not take the lead to do so?
至此大家也很明白，政府純粹是假借"綠色"之名來"搞旺"債券市場。
So far we understand very well that the Government merely aims to energize the bond market in the guise of green
這可能是國家的政策，可能亦有同事認為香港的債券市場跟不上全球發展，尤其是以綠色之名來發展。
This may be a national policy . Some Honourable colleagues may also think that Hong Kongs bond market cannot keep up with the global development especially development in the name of going green
然而，如果大家了解現時的環球債券市場，便會感到擔憂。
However those who are well versed in the current global bond market will feel worried
第一，美國近10年的國債息率已穩站在3厘以上，無論是美國以至意大利......
First the interest rate of Treasury bonds of the United States has remained stable at over 3 % in the last decade
根據近兩星期的新聞報道，內地房地產發展的離岸債務已高達數百億美元，而這只是表面帳目而已，實際數字不詳；內地政府更於本周要求銀行全面停止"內保外貸"。
According to news reports in the past two weeks the offshore debt associated with real estate development in the Mainland has reached tens of billions of US dollars and this is just the nominal amount with the actual figures being unknown . This week the Mainland Government even requested banks to completely halt the business of arranging onshore guarantee for offshore loan
眾所周知，債券市場已經存在很多大家料想不到的泡沫，政府還要另闢蹊徑，製造無法估算的泡沫？
As we all know many bubbles out of our expectation have already existed in the bond market . Does the Government have to establish a new channel which would create a bubble beyond estimation all the same?
這不可能是負責任的政府所做的事，如果是負責任的政府，應該叫大家小心花費，持有現金，若有多餘錢便轉換為黃金，因為現時連美元也不穩了。
This is not what a responsible government would do . A responsible government should alert the public that they should spend cautiously hold cash and convert surplus cash into gold because US dollar is also unstable nowadays
整個綠色行業的發展，最大的龍頭其實是電動車。
Electric vehicles are actually the flagship in the development of the green industry as a whole
這部分正正解釋了我為何得出發行債券本身是無所謂，談不上有害，或者是"多嚿魚"的評價。
This precisely explains why I have commented that bond issuances do not matter itself it cannot be said as harmful but it is just redundant
不過，行政長官在10月初發表施政報告後，財政司司長陳茂波出席一個活動時說了一番話，這番話令我充分地認為還是算了吧，不要發債了。
While there may not be such a need Financial Secretary Paul CHAN made some remarks when attending an event after the Chief Executive had presented her Policy Address in early October . His remarks made me think absolutely that let us forget it bonds should not be issued
"林鄭"在10月10日發表施政報告，談及會在大嶼山東部填海1,700公頃。
Carrie LAM presented her Policy Address on 10 October proposing the reclamation of 1 700 hectares of land at East Lantau
政府消息人士透露，成本造價約為4,000億元至5,000億元，坊間則估計成本可能高達1萬億元。
According to government sources the construction cost is about 400 billion to 500 billion whilst the public have estimated that the cost may be as high as 1,000 billion
對於社會的迴響，陳茂波是這樣說的："政府會考慮透過發債為項目籌集資金，因為一個如此大型的項目，不單要填海，也要發展相關的交通基建，所以項目一定會分期進行，即分階段進行。
Responding to societys reaction Paul CHAN said to the effect that the Government will consider raising funds for the project through issuing bonds since a project of such a large scale will not only involve reclamation but also the development of related transport infrastructure . Therefore the project must be carried out in different stages that is in phases
按照政府現時的財政狀況，如果大家害怕政府出資太多，亦無可避免會動用政府資源，那麼不如以不同方式籌措或籌集資金。
In view of the Governments financial situation at present if the public are worried that the Government will make too much contribution and resources of the Government will be utilized inevitably we had better raise or solicit funds through different ways
因為，第一，特區政府嚴格來說是"無皇管"的，我們沒有任何民主制度可以監察政府的表現和施政。
It is because first and strictly speaking the SAR Government is not subject to any regulation in the absence of any democratic system to monitor its performance and administration
其次，大家都知道議會在財政審批權力上是 橡皮圖章。
Second we all know that the legislature is just a rubber stamp insofar as the power to scrutinize funding proposals is concerned
可能要有具體的所謂"專款專項"時，大家才會表示贊成或反對。
Members of the public may express agreement or disagreement only when the so - called dedicated funding is proposed for a designated project
政府可以化整為零，分階段提交立法會，既然泛民反對"明日大嶼"，便把"明日大嶼"擱在一旁，但大嶼山要進行綠色發展，便提議在大嶼山東邊和西邊興建綠色環保徑，不過要填海。
The Government can split up the plan in a piecemeal manner and submit individual parts to the Legislative Council in phases . Since the pan - democracy camp opposes Lantau Tomorrow it will then put Lantau Tomorrow aside . That said the Government has to carry out green development on Lantau so it will propose to build green environmental protection trails on the eastern and western parts of Lantau but reclamation is necessary
大家認為推行綠色旅遊如何？
What do you think of promoting green tourism?
在專制的政治制度下，以綠色包裝進行所謂集資的計劃，說到底只不過是換個門面，進行我所謂的"綠色強暴"而已。
Under the autocratic political system packaging the so - called fund - raising plan with green concepts is in the final analysis just giving it a guise to inflict green rape as I named it
因此，對於朱凱廸議員提出的中止待續議案，我認為先不用討論議案的細節，只是出於陳茂波就計劃所說的一番話，我們便理應贊成這項中止待續議案。
Therefore I think it is not necessary to discuss the details of the adjournment motion moved by Mr CHU Hoi - dick in the first place . We should support the adjournment motion simply because of the remarks made about the plan by Paul CHAN
主席，就香港發行綠色債券方面，其實發債機構是可以把籌集所得資金用以發展綠色項目。
President regarding the issuance of green bonds in Hong Kong the issuers may actually use the proceeds thus raised to fund projects providing environmental benefits
長遠而言，隨着綠色債券的發債數目增加，香港便有能力設立"綠色債券指數"，繼而發展成為亞洲綠色債券發行中心，進一步鞏固香港作為國際金融中心的地位。
In the long run with an increase in the number of green bonds issued Hong Kong will be able to set up a green bond index and then establish itself as a green bond issuance centre in Asia so as to further consolidate its position as an international financial centre
我們先要了解政府為何要啟動金額高達1,000億港元的綠色債券發行計劃。
We have to understand in the first place why the Government launches the Government Green Bond Programme for borrowing sums up to HK100 billion
其實，剛才不少議員也說得對，政府是完全有能力全數承擔這些綠色項目的資金開支，沒有必要發行債券，因此發債大概是為了創造更活躍的綠色債券市場，並就債券訂立標桿息率。
Actually what many Members said just now was right that the Government is utterly capable of undertaking the entire amount of capital expenditure incurred by the green projects concerned and needs not issue any bonds . Therefore it is possible that the Government does so with a view to creating a more vibrant green bond market and setting benchmark interest rates for such bonds
由於國際社會也很想推動環保，因此符合綠色債券標準的債券可享有較優惠的息率，甚至稅務優惠，以吸引發行人投資於綠色項目上，這樣便會形成一個良性循環，有助鼓勵更多綠色投資。
Given that the international community also wants to promote environmental protection bonds which meet the standards for green bonds can enjoy preferential interest rates and even tax concessions . This way issuers are attracted to invest in green projects thus forming a benign cycle which will encourage more green investments
我很高興聽到張超雄議員剛才亦以iBond作為例子，說明有時候政府發債，純粹是為了公益這個事實。
I am so pleased to hear the example of government iBonds cited by Dr Fernando CHEUNG just now to illustrate the fact that in some cases the Government issues bonds purely for the common good
債券市場講究的，是市場的寬度和深度，當市場參與者人數和交易數量越多、交易金額越大，而市場具足夠的寬度、深度和彈性，投資者持有債券的流動性便越高，他們的投資意欲亦更強，市場交投因而變得更為活躍，價格便更具競爭力。
The breadth and depth of the market are what really matters as far as the bond market is concerned . When the market has adequate breadth depth and elasticity with a larger number of participants and high market turnover the liquidity of the bonds held by investors will be higher who will have stronger desire to invest in the market . This will lead to more active trading in the market at more competitive prices
我相信，絕大部分根據《借款條例》第31條提出的擬議決議案小組委員會也很關心和支持綠色債券的持續發展，但議員今天提出修訂議案，是因為擔心政府會高息發債。
I believe that the majority of members of the Subcommittee on Proposed Resolution under Section 31 of the Loans Ordinance Cap . 61 were very concerned about and did support the sustainable development of the green bond market . However some Members proposed amendments today out of concern that the Government will issue bonds at high interest rates
然而，這類發債活動須依循競標程序進行，債券面額、年期和息率均須按當時債券市場的情況釐定，如未能符合國際綠色債券標準，便不可以發行。
The truth is however such bond issuance must proceed according to the tendering procedure while the denomination tenor and interest rate are set with reference to the prevailing condition of the bond market . The issuance just cannot proceed should any of these fail to meet the international standards of green bonds
因此，就息率及額度設限的客觀效果，就是不給予政府任何空間，按當時的市場情況作出決定。
And so the objective consequence of imposing restrictions on interest rate and size will be that the Government will not have any room to made decisions according to the prevailing market conditions
剛才也有多位議員在發言中提及賣地，要是把同一套邏輯應用於本港的賣地交易上，則基於香港不應賤賣土地及不應採取高地價政策抬高樓價的原則，我們是否應該立法限制最低賣地金額不少於某個數額及最高賣地金額不可超出某個數額呢？
A number of Members have mentioned in their speeches the issue of land sale . If the same logic is applied to land sale transactions in Hong Kong are we going to legislate to set a minimum amount eg . 5,000 and a maximum amount eg
大家有否想過，事實上，每幅地皮的情況差異很大，故售價應由市場決定，而非預先設限呢？
Has every one of us thought about the fact that the actual conditions of different pieces of land may vary greatly and thus their prices should be determined by the market instead of being pre - determined
因此，我們在出售每一幅土地時，應按實際情況設定某一個數額的底價。
Hence we should come up with a certain amount as the reserve price by taking account of the actual situation when selling a piece of land
主席，香港的綠色金融發展勢頭本來不錯，今年以來，本地綠色債券市場的發展步伐亦已加快，相對於2017年的23億美元發行規模，今年上半年度的發行量總值已達68億美元，是去年全年的3倍，發行主體亦趨於多元化，包括本地企業、內地企業和國際組織，發行主體亦由大型商業銀行和政策性銀行轉變為領先企業。
President the momentum in the development of green finance in Hong Kong has been quite good and the pace of development of local green bond market has quicken since this year . As compared with the issuance size of US2.3 billion in 2017 the total amount of issuance for the first half of this year has already reached US6.8 billion tripling that of the entire last year . Besides issuers tend to be more diversified ranging from local and mainland enterprises to international organizations
換言之，香港在半年內已有等值530億港元的發行量，估計全年發行量或會超逾1,000億港元。
Among the issuers major commercial banks and policy banks have been replaced by leading enterprises . In other words Hong Kong has a total issuance amount equivalent to HK53 billion within six months . It is expected that the total issuance amount for the whole year may exceed HK100 billion
因此，議員之所以提出這些修訂議案，顯然是對資本市場的運作不太了解，結果可能會演變成"好心做壞事"。
And so Members proposed such amendments apparently because they are not quite familiar with the way the capital market operates . However this may only result in doing bad things with good intentions
我個人較為同意周浩鼎議員剛才的發言，他提到由於國際綠色認證標準正在不斷演變，因此我們應給予政府一定程度的靈活性，但另一方面，我亦促請政府在實行發債計劃時，應該為公眾提供更多相關資訊。
Personally I see more eye to eye with Mr Holden CHOW regarding the point he has made in his speech just now that is given the ever - changing standards of the international green bond certification we ought to give the Government certain degree of flexibility . On the other hand however I urge the Government to make more relevant information available to the public when implementing the Programme
主席，儘管現時香港綠色債券市場發展初見成效，但當局仍須在政策、監管、投融資及產品創新方面加倍努力，為本地綠色金融產品的發行和交易提供更好的主場環境。
President although the development of local green bond market begins to bear fruit the authorities still need to make extra efforts in respect of policies regulation investment and financing as well as product innovation in order to provide a better host market environment for the issuance and trading of local green finance products
為發展綠色金融，政府有需要訂定清晰的綠色標準。
To develop green finance the Government needs to set out clear green standards
現時，已有20個國家和地區推出了綠色金融發展路線圖。
At present some 20 countries and regions have rolled out their green finance development roadmaps
將來，香港應在綠色金融認證計劃的基礎上，考慮發展綠色基金標籤計劃，以提高綠色標準體系的透明度。
In the future we should consider establishing a green fund labelling scheme on top of the Green Finance Certification Scheme with a view to enhancing the transparency of the green standards system
此外，我們亦應敦促政府盡快完善本港的披露制度，因為完善的企業環境資訊披露制度有助合理定價，這便能加強投資者對綠色金融產品的信心。
Furthermore we should also urge the Government to expedite the refinement of local disclosure system since a sound system for disclosure of environmental information by enterprises is conducive to reasonable pricing which will help enhance investors confidence in green financial products
去年，20國集團的金融穩定理事會的氣候相關金融信息披露工作組為企業披露環境資訊制訂了可行標準。
Last year the Task Force on Climate - related Financial Disclosures under the Financial Stability Board of the G20 Finance Ministers formulated a set of feasible standards for the disclosure of environmental information by enterprises
現時，英國、法國、加拿大和澳洲等國家已陸續推出資訊披露強制措施。
At present countries such as the United Kingdom France Canada and Australia have successively implemented mandatory disclosures of information
因此，我們應催促香港的監管機構盡快更新上市企業的環境、社會及管治資訊披露規則，加強環境資訊披露的一致性和可比較性，以刺激市場對綠色投資的需求。
Therefore we should urge Hong Kongs regulators to expeditiously update the rules for disclosure of environmental social and governance ESG information by publicly listed enterprises and enhance the consistency and comparability of ESG information disclosures to spur the market demand for green investment
主席，我支持政府當局的擬議決議案及反對所有修訂議案。
President I support the proposed resolution of the Administration and oppose all the amendments
建屋是建屋，護養院的面積便是護養院的面積，以護養院的面積來問別人：為甚麼你不支持"明日大嶼願景"？
Adding the area of floor space of nursing homes to the question posed to people Why do you not support the Lantau Tomorrow Vision?
我認為這個比喻比較差。
I find such an analogy rather lame
我不知道陳局長稍後會否澄清醫學界與美容業界之間的矛盾。
I do not know if Secretary Prof Sophia CHAN will later on make a clarification on the conflict between the medical profession and the beauty industry
政府早前在制定規管醫療儀器的法案時，也作出相關的讓步，令美容業界不需要擔心因為只可由醫生或在醫生監督下使用醫療儀器而增加負擔。
Previously when the Government formulated the Bill on regulation of medical equipment it made similar compromises so that the beauty industry needed not worry about bearing a greater burden as a result of the requirement that medical equipment must be used by medical practitioners only or under the supervision of medical practitioners
我希望藉此機會告訴美容業界的人士，他們不需要太擔心《條例草案》。
I hope to take this opportunity to tell members of the beauty industry that they need not worry too much about the Bill
職業訓練局進行有關美容、美髮及化妝品業的人力調查報告顯示，在2016年，美容業界有超過20,000名僱員，當中醫護人員的人數由2012年的66人上升至184人，雖然有升幅，但從事有關業務的醫護人員佔當時的業界從業員人數不足1%，我亦相信至今也沒有大幅增加。
As stated in the Manpower Survey Report―Beauty Care Hairdressing and Cosmetics Industry released by the Vocational Training Council in 2016 there were over 20 000 employees in the beauty industry . Among them the number of health care personnel increased from 66 persons in 2012 to 184 . Despite the growth health care personnel engaging in the relevant business account for less than 1 % of the industry practitioners
換言之，我們現時審議的《條例草案》所規管的正正是醫護人員。
In other words the Bill under examination now exactly regulates health care personnel
若我們就此產生混淆，會大為影響美容業界，造成業界不必要的恐懼。
Any confusion about this will greatly affect the beauty industry creating unnecessary fear in the trade
同時，我亦認為不需要不斷以郭家麒議員的發言來指責他抹黑美容業界，因為我認為《條例草案》與很多業界代表的發言沒有矛盾。
At the same time I also consider it unnecessary to keep accusing Dr KWOK Ka - ki of smearing the beauty industry by quoting him because I think there is no conflict between the Bill and the speeches made by representatives of many sectors
既然《條例草案》處理的是醫學界的問題，我相信美容業界也應予以支持，因為政府藉此能有效及進一步對醫療機構實行規管，繼而令所謂的醫學美容服務也能夠受到規管，相關的污名因而不會再加諸於美容業界。
As the Bill deals with problems in the medical profession I believe the beauty industry should render its support because the Government by virtue of the Bill can enforce effective and further regulation on healthcare facilities . Consequently the so - called aesthetic medicine services will be brought under regulation as well so that the relevant stigma will no longer be attached to the beauty industry
我認為議員為業界發聲應該要理性而不是挑起矛盾。
I consider that Members should be sensible when speaking up for their trades instead of provoking conflicts
這個漏洞不僅涉及立法會審批或監察政府使用公帑的職能，也牽涉香港社會是否還有權力透過香港所有制度，包括司法制度來反對或阻撓一些不獲認同的發展項目。
Such a loophole involves not only the function of the Legislative Council to approve or monitor the Governments use of public funds but also whether the society of Hong Kong still has the power to through all systems in Hong Kong including the judicial system oppose or block some development projects that fail to gain approval
局長對此亦有回應，他說"綠色"的標準可以國際資本市場協會的《綠色債券原則》和氣候債券倡議組織 所推廣的《氣候債券標準》作為框架，然後作出一些指引或指示。
The Secretary has given a response to it . He said that the Green Bond Principles by the International Capital Market Association and the Climate Bonds Standard advocated by the Climate Bonds Initiative can be adopted as the framework for the standards of green under which some guidelines or instructions would be given
然而，老實說，香港社會是沒有法治的，我們只有法例和條例。
However frankly speaking there is no rule of law in the society of Hong Kong; we only have laws and ordinances
然而，就審批的尺度而言，正如剛才很多議員所說，綠色是相對的概念。
However as regards the rule to be applied for approval rightly as many Members have said green is a relative concept
所以，在討論何謂綠色時，大家為何認為綠色的定義很重要？
Therefore when discussing the meaning of green why do we consider the definition of green important?
所以，如果定義寫得太明確，推動環保、推動綠色發展就會欠缺彈性。
Therefore an overly exact definition will produce inflexibility for the promotion of environmental protection and green development
還是，政府只是借綠色發展之名，進行香港最後的黃金島計劃？
Or the Government intends to carry out the final golden island plan for Hong Kong on the pretext of green development?
代理主席，我謹動議二讀《2018年專業會計師條例草案》。
President I move the Second Reading of the Professional Accountants Amendment Bill 2018 the Bill
《條例草案》亦將有關罪行的罰款由第4級提高至第5級，即由10,001元至25,000元提高為25,001元至50,000元，以加強針對在業務名稱內使用被禁止或具誤導性的字眼或稱謂的罪行的阻嚇力。
The Bill also proposes to raise the level of fine for related offences from level four to level five meaning an increase from the range of 10,001 and 25,000 to that of 25,001 and 50,000 so as to enhance the deterrent effect on the offence of using prohibited or misleading wording or descriptions in business names
《條例草案》早於2015年已展開籌備工作，當時有多篇報道，指有財務中介公司以"會計事務所"為名，替客戶提供財務評估，實質為財務中介或財務公司推銷貸款服務，藉此收取高昂的手續費。
Preparations for the Bill already began as early as 2015 . At the time many news reports had it that some financial intermediaries actually engaged in loan service promotion for financial intermediaries or financial companies under the guise of accounting firms providing customers with financial assessment and charged exorbitant administrative fees
2016年3月，消費者委員會曾就有關案件發出消費警示，提醒消費者提防不良財務中介的惡劣手法，而其中有例子顯示，不少財務中介公司在公司名稱中加入"會計事務所"等字眼，令消費者誤以為有關服務是由專業會計師提供，因而落入圈套。
In March 2016 the Consumer Council issued a consumer alert concerning the relevant cases to remind consumers to beware of the malpractices by unscrupulous financial intermediaries . An example of such malpractices shows that some financial intermediaries add the words accounting firms to their company names as a means to mislead consumers into believing that the relevant services are provided by professional accountants and lure them into their trap
我曾經就此向財經事務及庫務局提出質詢，發現警方在2015年8月至10月間，共接獲235宗與財務中介公司有關的舉報，其中61宗是涉及刑事成分的案件，足見財務中介公司所衍生的罪案之嚴重。
I once put a question to the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau about this and found that during the period from August to October 2015 the Police had received a total of 235 cases relating to financial intermediaries and 61 of which were of a criminal nature . This has aptly reflected the gravity of the crimes associated with financial intermediaries
代理主席，香港是國際金融中心，專業服務不單稱譽國際，更是香港其中一個經濟支柱。
Deputy President Hong Kong is an international financial centre . Its professional services not only have won worldwide acclaim and they are even a pillar of Hong Kongs economy
政府統計處的資料顯示，專業服務的經濟價值佔2016年的本地生產總值的4.9%。
Information of the Census and Statistics Department shows that in 2016 the economic value of professional services accounted for 4.9 % of our Gross Domestic Product
故此，我提出《條例草案》，希望能夠協助堵塞現時法例的漏洞。
For these reasons I propose the Bill in the hope of assisting in plugging the existing loopholes in law
我希望得到各位議員支持，盡快通過《條例草案》，令公眾尋找專業會計服務時得到保障，同時，亦可保障香港會計專業的誠信和聲譽。
I hope to solicit Members support for the expeditious passage of the Bill so as to accord protection to people when they seek professional accounting services while also safeguarding the integrity and reputation of Hong Kongs accounting profession
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2018年專業會計師條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the Professional Accountants Amendment Bill 2018 be read the Second time
這點主要是想在醫療管治或整體運作上確保病人安全，我認為這個方向是正確的。
The main purpose is to ensure the safety of patients in health care governance or overall operation . I consider this the right direction
他認為護養院不應是《私營醫療機構條例草案》的討論焦點。
He held that nursing homes should not be the focus of discussion on the Private Healthcare Facilities Bill the Bill
