Dr Pierre CHAN will also move an amendment which seeks to amend clause 8
各位委員現在可以就各項條文及修正案，進行合併辯論。
Members may now proceed to a joint
代理主席，我動議修正《2021年醫生註冊條例草案》第6、8及15條，並增補新訂的第5A及6A條。有關修正案是因應法案委員會的討論及關注團體的意見而提出，目的是網羅更多合資格非本地培訓醫生來港服務，以應對本港人口增長和老齡化對醫療服務所帶來的挑戰。簡而言之，我們的修正案主要涵蓋以下3方面。
Deputy Chairman I move the amendments to clauses 6 8 and 15 of the Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill and the addition of new clauses 5A and 6A
另外，在往後的日子，能夠真的做更多不同的宣傳。
Moreover in the days to come I hope it will genuinely make more efforts to do different publicity work
我總覺得宣傳教育工作要更到位。
I often find that publicity and education work should be more on point
他們問宣傳是否可以做得更好，在線上線下，以至走入學校或社區，透過現時完善選舉制度、"愛國者治港"，利用地區的區議會、分區委員會，我相信都可以有作為，局長。
They asked if publicity work can be better undertaken both online and offline or even inside schools or communities . Secretary with the improved electoral system and patriots administering Hong Kong I believe the District Councils and Area Committees can be put to good use
我希望同事不要只閉門造車，對一些事情，能夠多做一步便多做一步，因為我們始終是面對我們的下一代，要想想如何給他們有一個更好的成長環境。
I hope that colleagues in the Government will not simply work behind closed doors but take the extra step whenever possible with regards to certain matters because after all we are talking about our next generation and have to think about how to give them a better environment to grow up in
主席，所以我更加要堅守全面禁止電子煙和加熱煙的立場。
President that is the very reason that I all the more hold fast to my stance of a total ban on e - cigarettes and HTPs
主席，我更加會投票支持《條例草案》。
President I will also vote in favour of the Bill
對於這個堅持，我覺得我們要對得起我們的下一代，並就香港往後要成為一個無煙城市及吸煙危害健康這些我們經常提到的觀點，提出我們的堅持和執着。
Regarding such persistence I believe we must not let our next generation down and also on our oft - mentioned viewpoints about Hong Kong becoming a smoke - free city and smoking being harmful to health affirm our persistence and determination
最後，我很期望政府，真的要再說一次，我期望政府在《條例草案》通過後繼續多管齊下，加強推廣青年禁煙工作，加強推廣青年禁煙工作，加強推廣青年禁煙工作重要的事情要說3次。
Lastly I very much expect that―I truly have to say it again―I expect that the Government continues to make multi - pronged efforts after the passage of the Bill to step up the promotion of banning smoking among young people to step up the promotion of banning smoking among young people and to step up the promotion of banning smoking among young people―important things have to be stated thrice
我期望這 些工作不會如放煙火般做過便算，這些工作要持久、深入、堅持，才能令我們的下一代建立正向的思維。
I expect that such work will not be just a flash in a pan just like fireworks . Such work has to be enduring pervading and persistent to instil positive thinking among our next generation
主席，我希望真的能做到"無煙香港"，所以我支持《條例草案》。
President I hope a smoke - free Hong Kong can truly be achieved so I support the Bill
主席，我動議若稍後就《2019年吸煙條例草案》的條文或其修正案進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
Chairman I move that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of any provisions of or any amendments to the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 this committee of the whole Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
我命令若稍後就本條例草案的條文或其修正案進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
I order that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of any provisions of or any amendments to the Bill this committee of the whole Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
第1至17條。
Clauses 1 to 17
主席，我發言表示歡迎並支持政府提交的《2021年醫生註冊條例草案》，並願意在聽取議員和病人組織的意見後撤關卡、提出修正案，進一步放寬限制，以吸引更多合資格非本地培訓醫生，特別是專科醫生來港服務，以解決本港醫生人手短缺，市民看病難的問題。
President I am speaking to welcome and support the Medical Registration Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill introduced by the Government . After listening to the opinions of Members and patient organizations the Government is willing to remove the barriers and propose amendments to further relax restrictions to attract more qualified non - locally trained medical practitioners NLTDs especially specialist doctors to come and serve in Hong Kong so as to solve the manpower shortage of doctors in Hong Kong and the difficulties encountered by the public in seeking medical consultation
主席，修訂《醫生註冊條例》以招攬非本地培訓醫生來港提供醫療服務，不但有必要，更是迫在眉睫。
President amending the Medical Registration Ordinance to attract NLTDs to provide healthcare services in Hong Kong is not only necessary but also imminent
也許市民對冰冷的數字感受不深，但相信只要曾經使用過公立醫院服務的市民也會知道，目前到公立醫院看急症，最少要等三四小時才能見醫生；倘若遇到流感高峰期，更要輪候8至10小時，甚至更久。
Perhaps the public do not have strong feelings about these cold figures but I believe that so long as people have used public hospital services they will know that they have to wait for at least three to four hours for public hospital emergency services before doctors can be consulted . They even have to wait for eight to 10 hours or even longer during the influenza season
專科門診的輪候情況更為嚴峻。
The situation is even worse as regards the waiting time of specialist outpatient SOP services
根據醫院管理局公布的數字，截至今年6月30日，九龍中的耳鼻喉專科門診新症輪候時間長達154星期；骨科輪候時間長達142星期；九龍東聯網內科新症的輪候時間亦長達151星期，這意味病人要等3年才能見到醫生；不少患病長者甚至慨嘆："等到死都未見到醫生"，令人欷歔。
According to the figures released by the Hospital Authority as of 30 June this year in the Kowloon Central Cluster the waiting time of new cases of the SOP services is 154 weeks for the Ear Nose and Throat Specialty and 142 weeks for the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Specialty; and in the Kowloon East Cluster the waiting time of new cases of the SOP services is 151 weeks for the Medicine Specialty . This means that patients have to wait for three years before doctors can be consulted . Many elderly patients lamented I may have died before doctors can be consulted which is extremely sad
香港是國際大都會，我們實在沒有任何理由讓看病難的問題持續下去。
Hong Kong is an international metropolis and we really have no reason to allow such problems to persist
因此，我十分支持政府修例引入海外醫生，讓病人免受看病難的痛苦。
Therefore I strongly support the Governments legislative amendment for admission of overseas doctors so that patients can be relieved from the misery of encountering difficulties in seeking medical consultation
對於《條例草案》和政府的修正案的內容，我認為均有助吸引更多合資格非本地醫生來港提供服務，紓緩本港醫療人手嚴重不足的問題，十分值得大家支持。
Regarding the contents of the Bill and the Governments amendments I think they will help attract more qualified NLTDs to provide services and alleviate the acute manpower shortage of doctors in Hong Kong which are worthy of our support
我相信，只有政府"不拘一格降人才"，准許公營機構聘請任何資格的非本地培訓醫生作為特別註冊醫生，最終能有效吸引更多非本地醫生來港服務，解決醫生荒問題。
I believe that if the Government brings talents in without restrictions and allows public institutions to hire NLTDs of any qualifications as special registration doctors it will eventually be able to effectively attract more NLTDs to come and serve in Hong Kong and solve the manpower shortage of doctors
對於政府提出讓非本地培訓專科畢業生參加執業資格試，以及提供從有限度註冊轉為特別註冊的銜接安排的修訂建議，我亦十分支持。
I also strongly support the Governments amendments to allow non - locally trained medical graduates to take the Licensing Examination and to provide bridging from limited registration to special registration
我認為，前者有助吸引在海外讀醫的香港學生回流，後者則可以提供誘因，吸引更多非本地培訓醫生來港在公營醫療系統服務。
I think the former will help attract the return of Hong Kong students who studied medicine overseas while the latter can provide incentives to attract more NLTDs to come to Hong Kong and serve in the public healthcare system
這對紓緩香港醫療人手嚴重不足有正面作用。
This has a positive effect on alleviating the acute manpower shortage of healthcare personnel in Hong Kong
主席，最令我感到遺憾的是，今次修訂條例毫無意外地遭到一些醫生代表的批評。
President my deepest regret is that this legislative amendment has unsurprisingly been criticized by some doctors representatives
他們一如既往地指出，今次修例將破壞專業自主、破壞現有考試和審核制度、影響本港醫療水平等。
As always they have said that this legislative amendment will undermine professional autonomy as well as the existing examination and assessment system and affect the healthcare standard of Hong Kong
我在此實在不想再去批評他們如何"醫醫相衞"、"專業霸權"。
I do not want to criticize on doctors shielding each other and the hegemony of the medical profession here anymore
我只想這些千方百計阻撓引入非本地訓練醫生的醫學界人士知道，市民的眼睛是雪亮的。
I only want to tell these members of the medical profession who are doing everything possible to prevent the admission of NLTDs that the public have discerning eyes
醫者父母心，作為本應以救死扶傷為己任的醫護人員，眼見市民長年累月地長時間輪候看醫生，飽受痛苦折磨仍然無動於衷，仍然要以各種藉口極力阻止政府引入海外醫生來港治病，這樣的醫護人員，究竟是守護專業，還是守護飯碗？
A doctor should care for patients like a parent; as healthcare personnel who should be responsible for helping those in distress they realize the prolonged wait by the public for medical consultation and that the public are suffering and in anguish; yet they simply show their indifference . They still use various excuses to prevent the Governments admission of overseas doctors to serve in Hong Kong . Are such healthcare personnel defending their profession or securing their jobs?
是想維持醫療水平，還是要剝削病人權力，我相信市民會看得一清二楚，歷史亦會有公允的評價。
Do they want to maintain the healthcare standard or exploit patients rights? . I believe the public are very clearly about that and history will make fair evaluation
最後，我想說說，引入非本地訓練的醫生以紓緩本港醫生嚴重不足，是一個討論已久的話題，無奈一直以來都遭到醫學界人士極力反對，再加上政府過去經常給人一種做事避難的感覺，一遇到阻力便退縮不做，結果令引入海外醫生舉步維艱，市民飽受看病難之苦，病人受盡病痛折磨。
Lastly I would like to say that the admission of NLTDs to alleviate the acute manpower shortage of doctors in Hong Kong is a topic that has been discussed for a long time . I feel helpless that it has always been strongly opposed by the medical profession and the Government used to give people an impression that it simply refrained from dealing with difficulties . It used to shrink back in the face of obstacles rendering it extremely hard to introduce the admission of overseas doctors
我十分欣賞政府今天能鼓起勇氣，再次顯示"好打得"的本色，大刀闊斧地修訂條例，為引入非本地訓練醫生提供切實可行的渠道，我認為這才是真正迎難而上的精神。
The public miserably encountered difficulties in seeking medical consultation and patients were tormented by sickness . I really appreciate the Governments showing courage today and demonstrating once again that it is a good fighter when it drastically amends the legislation to provide a practical channel for the admission of NLTDs
我衷心希望政府能再接再厲，未來在應付房屋、教育等難題上繼續發揮這種無畏無懼、迎難而上的精神，切切實實為市民做實事、謀福祉。
I think this is truly the spirit of embracing challenges . I sincerely hope that the Government can make persistent efforts to deal with housing education and other issues in the future exerting its fearlessness and its spirit of embracing challenges doing practical things for the public and promoting their well - being
我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》和政府的修正案。
With these remarks I support the Bill and the Governments amendments
據政府當局所述，在《條例草案》下，另類吸煙產品包括俗稱電子煙、加熱煙草產品及草本煙的產品。
According to the Administration ASPs under the Bill include products commonly known as e - cigarettes heated tobacco products HTPs and herbal cigarettes
法案委員會的討論，主要集中於有關全面禁止加熱煙的建議。
Discussions of the Bills Committee have mainly focused on proposals relating to the full ban of HTPs
鑒於已有確實證據證明有各種口味並對青少年而言相當吸引的電子煙， 含有並釋出多種會危害健康的化學混合物及有毒物質，因此委員的一致意見是應全面禁止電子煙。
As there is conclusive body of evidence that e - cigarettes which have various flavours and are highly appealing to adolescents contain and emit numerous chemical mixture and toxic substances that are hazardous to health members have a unanimous view that a full ban should be imposed on e - cigarettes
然而，對於全面禁止加熱煙的建議，委員之間意見紛紜。
However regarding the full ban of HTPs members views have been divergent
部分委員支持當局全面禁止加熱煙，他們認為，這些產品如獲准進入市場，會吸引新一代的年輕人和婦女成為吸煙者，或會造成門戶效應，令青少年及非吸煙者習慣使用有關產品後開始使用尼古丁，轉而吸食傳統香煙。
Certain members who have expressed support for the proposed full ban of HTPs consider that the entry of such products into the local market if allowed would attract a new generation of adolescents and women to become smokers or bring about gateway effects where youngsters and non - smokers getting used to these products would initiate nicotine use and turn to consume conventional cigarettes
此外，吸煙不但引致使用者的健康問題，令旁人接觸二手煙，更對公共醫療開支構成沉重負擔。
Moreover smoking does not only cause health problems on users and exposes bystanders to side - stream emissions but also imposes heavy burden on public healthcare expenditure
因此，有迫切需要在新型吸煙產品在本地市場大行其道，導致吸煙率可能反彈前，對其所帶來的害處防患於未然。
Hence there is a pressing need to prevent the harm of any new classes of smoking products including HTPs from taking root in the local market which may in turn result in a rebound in smoking prevalence
有委員進一步建議，為了公眾健康，政府當局長遠而言應全面禁止包括傳統香煙在內的所有香煙產品。
Certain member has further suggested that in the long run a full ban should be imposed on all tobacco products including conventional cigarettes for the sake of public health
然而，有多名委員認為，不應以全面禁止的方式，而應以類似規管傳統香煙的方法，規管加熱煙。
However many other members are of the view that HTPs should not be fully banned but should be subject to a regulatory regime similar to that of conventional cigarettes
他們指出，雖然加熱煙與傳統香煙同為煙草產品，不可能會完全無害，但加熱煙是加熱而非燃燒煙草，現時有證據證明，加熱煙可減少使用者接觸有害及潛在有害化學物質，而現時沒有臨床研究指加熱煙的危害大於傳統香煙。
They have pointed out that while HTPs and conventional cigarettes are both tobacco products which are unlikely to be harmless existing evidence shows that HTPs which heat instead of burn tobacco may reduce users exposure to harmful and potentially harmful chemicals . Besides no empirical studies have suggested that HTPs are more harmful than conventional cigarettes
考慮到《條例草案》並非以平等方式禁止和限制傳統香煙及其他煙草產品，加上政府當局沒有公布長遠會這樣做的時間表，成年吸煙者選擇吸食加熱煙的權利不應被剝削。
Taking into consideration that conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products are not prohibited and restricted on equal footing under the Bill and that the Administration has not announced any timetable to do so in the longer term established adult smokers should not be deprived of the right to opt for HTP
這些委員指出，香港的吸煙率在全球而言已是相當低，而防止新一代的吸煙者出現，合適的做法應是加強公眾教育，讓他們了解吸煙的危害，從而作出知情選擇。
These members have pointed out that Hong Kongs smoking prevalence is already among the lowest in the world and a more appropriate way to prevent the emergence of a new generation of smokers is to step up public education on the harm of smoking to enable the public to make an informed choice
就使用煙草產品施加年齡限制，亦是有效的方法。
Imposing age restriction for the use of tobacco products would be another effective means
有委員亦建議，政府當局可參考美國食品及藥物管理局的銷售許可制度，逐一檢測申請進入本地市場的加熱煙，只有符合政府當局所訂標準的產品，才可批准銷售，以及上調加熱煙的稅率，以消減市民購買這些產品的意欲。
Certain members have proposed that the Administration may refer to the sale permit system implemented by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA by testing every HTP applying to enter the local market where authorization for sale should only be granted if the standards set by the Administration could be satisfied . The excise duty on HTPs should also be raised to further disincentivize the purchase of these products
委員察悉，全面禁止另類吸煙產品的建議涉及禁止進口該等產品。
Members have noted that the proposed full ban of ASPs involves the prohibition of such products
有委員關注到，如果另類吸煙產品被帶進香港並被移離有關飛機、船隻或貨物轉運區的唯一目的是為了在香港境內重新包裝後轉口，作其他業務內部用途及研發工作等用途，《條例草案》並無就此訂定豁免安排。
Certain members have expressed concern that no exemption would be provided under the Bill for ASPs that are brought into Hong Kong and removed from the aircraft vessel or air transhipment cargo solely for the purpose of re - exporting them after repackaging within Hong Kong for other businesses in - house use as well as for research and development work
他們認為，有關禁止會對物流業及創新科技界的業務構成不良影響。
In their view such prohibition would have an adverse impact on businesses of the logistics and the innovation and technology sectors
邵家輝議員曾表示擬提出一套修正案，將加熱煙從載於該條例擬議新訂附表7中另類吸煙產品的定義中剔除，並受類似規管傳統香煙產品的制度所規限。
Mr SHIU Ka - fai has indicated his intention to propose a set of amendments to the Bill to exclude HTPs from the definition of ASP in the proposed new Schedule 7 to the Ordinance and to subject these products to a regulatory regime similar to that on conventional tobacco products
由於該擬議修正案被裁定具有改變《條例草案》的基本原則的效力，而非只是修訂其細節，因此不可提出。
Since the proposed amendments would have the effect of altering the fundamental principles of the Bill instead of merely amending its details they have been ruled not admissible
此外，有包括易志明議員在內的議員曾表示，打算對《條例草案》提出其他修 正案，當中包括上述有關禁止進口另類吸煙產品的規定作出豁免的範圍。
Moreover certain Members including Mr Frankie YICK have indicated their intention to propose other amendments to the Bill which include the scope of exemption from the prohibition on the import of ASPs mentioned above
該等議員的具體修正案，我會留待他們自己介紹。
I will let these Members to introduce their specific amendments
法案委員會不會對《條例草案》提出修正案。
The Bills Committee will not propose any amendments to the Bill
法案委員會對政府當局稍後對《條例草案》提出的修正案並無異議。
The Bills Committee raises no objection to the amendments to be moved by the Administration to the Bill
主席，以上是我就法案委員會工作的報告。
President the above is my report on the work of the Bills Committee
主席，我本來不想就法案委員會再作任何發言，但基於主席昨天提到利益申報，故此我要在此慎重地清楚說明，我就《條例草案》並無直接或間接利益。
President at first I did not intend to make any further remarks on the Bills Committee but since the President mentioned the declaration of interest yesterday I have to state clearly and solemnly that I have no direct or indirect interest in the Bill
我亦申明，我是已有50多年煙齡的煙民，但我從未接觸過電子煙及加熱煙。
Also I have to declare that I have been a smoker for more than 50 years but I have never tried e - cigarettes and HTPs
我在立法會工作已有17年，亦曾經手處理不少法案委員會，但今次這個法案委員會確實令我十分困擾和遺憾。
I have been working in the Legislative Council for 17 years and have handled many Bills Committees but this Bills Committee has really bothered me and caused me great regret
這個法案委員會共召開了6次會議，在該6次會議期間，我們曾經7次跟局方高層溝通，包括正/副局長、秘書長及政治助理。
The Bills Committee held a total of six meetings and during those six meetings we communicated with the senior officials of the Bureau seven times including the Secretary for Food and Healththe Under Secretary the Permanent Secretary and the Political Assistant
在溝通過程中，我被要求把他們的意見，透過我個人跟業界溝通。
In the course of communication I was asked to convey their views to the industry personally
因此，在過程中，我有18次跟煙草事務協會往來，由我個人向他們提出局方的意見，與他們探討，待他們回公司研究後作出答覆。
Therefore in the process I had 18 exchanges with the Coalition on Tobacco Affairs during which I personally presented the Bureaus views to them and examine such views with them and then they would give their replies after studying those views when they went back to their companies
另有兩次跟香港吸煙與健康委員會開會，聽取他們的意見。
I also had two meetings with the Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health to receive their views
然而，很可惜，最終也要勞駕行政長官約我會面傾談《條例草案》。
Yet regrettably in the end the Chief Executive has to take the trouble to arrange a meeting with me to discuss the Bill
在整個過程中，我覺得一切傾談的過程被全部推倒，出爾反爾，我感到很無奈。
Throughout the whole process I felt that what was said during the negotiation were repudiated and reneged on afterwards . I am very frustrated
結果在我一直追問之下，發現真的只有兩個，你說這問題會否留在市民心中，思疑為何只有兩個呢？
After making persistent enquiries I found that there were really just two cases . Will the public keep thinking of this incident and wondering why there were just two cases?
當局答覆，最後出現了十多二十天的延誤，人亦已過身才收到短訊，她的丈夫謝先生亦已前往隔離中心，沒事出院後兩星期才接獲短訊，而短訊表示檢測結果為陰性。
The Administration replied that there was a delay of 10 to 20 days . When the SMS arrived Ms LEE had passed away . Her husband Mr TSE had been sent to a quarantine centre and only received two weeks after his release from quarantine an SMS informing him of a negative test result
當局給我們的答覆是，系統沒有問題，其實整件事沒有問題，真是這樣答覆的。
The Administration replied to us that there were no problems with the system and in fact nothing went wrong in the whole incident . This was really its reply
因此，我今天便要問，系統有甚麼問題？
Therefore I have to ask today What is wrong with the system?
第二，能否令人相信檢測結果真的是陰性呢？
Secondly how can we be convinced that the test results are really negative?
為何要拖5個月、6個月才提供？
Why was there a delay of five to six months?
我作為立法會議員不斷追問。
As a Legislative Council Member I keep asking these questions
是否迴避問題呢？
Was it trying to evade the questions?
因此，今天第二次審議《醫生註冊條例》的修訂，我認為除了系統及人手外，態度亦一定很重要。
Today is the second time we have discussed the amendments to the Medical Registration Ordinance . In my view besides the system and manpower attitude definitely matters a lot
今天談論的是解決人手的問題，紓緩人手的問題，我會界定為硬件問題，我們當然要支持。
Today we discuss how to solve or alleviate the manpower problem . I would categorize this as hardware issues and we certainly support the amendments
上次討論這項條例的修訂是在2016年，當時是立法會季尾，跟現在差不多，被"拉布"至不能再討論下去，我想是梁家騮醫生首次"拉布"的處女作，令人很傷心。
When the amendments to this Ordinance was last discussed in 2016 it was towards the end of a Legislative Council term just like now . The discussion was aborted due to filibustering . I think that was the first time Dr LEUNG Ka - lau initiated a filibuster
我屬法律界，在大學教授法律亦已有20多年。我讀大學時......
I am a legal practitioner and have been teaching law at university for over two decades
我的中學同學很多當了醫生和律師，當醫生的最多，他們分別在公營和私營醫院工作。
When I was a university student Many of my secondary school classmates have become doctors and lawyers and most of them are doctors working in public or private hospitals . I would like to express my respect for my classmates who have been working as public hospital doctors for over 20 years . There are many doctors with medical skills and a benevolent heart in Hong Kong indeed
我對至今在公營醫院工作了20多年的醫生同學表示敬意，因為香港真的有很多仁心仁術的醫生，他們並非為了賺錢，而 是看到公營醫院沒有足夠好醫生，所以我十分尊重他們，身邊也有很多醫生朋友。
They are not minded to make a good fortune but just notice that there are not enough good doctors in public hospitals . That is why I respect them very much . Many of my friends are also doctors
因此，今天發言中提及的是個別個案，我很希望這件事不會再發生，這種悲劇不會再發生。
Therefore the incidents mentioned in my speech today are unique cases . I really hope that such incidents or tragedies will not happen again
但是，很明顯，公營醫療服務和公營醫院人手不足是一個百分之百的問題，今天我們要從病人利益的角度討論。
However it is obvious that the inadequacy of public healthcare services and public healthcare personnel is 100 per cent a problem . Today we have to discuss it with patients interest in mind
很多市民到醫院是希望得到醫治，對醫生十分信任。
Many people go to hospital in the hope of getting treated and they have great confidence in doctors
我認為千萬不要說"醫醫相衞"，不少同事亦有這樣形容。
In my view we should never say that doctors shielding each other and quite a number of colleagues have described them as such . In fact the legal sector has gone through a similar situation
其實法律界也曾經歷類似過程，香港最初只有一間法學院，然後有兩間，到3間，再開放給海外畢業生其實很多都是香港年青人，他們在海外修讀完畢平等競爭，報考入讀3間大學的PCLL，以他們的merit、成績為準。
At the beginning there was only one law school in Hong Kong . Then there were two and now three . The PCLL courses run by the three universities are open to overseas graduates―in fact many of them are young people from Hong Kong who have completed studies overseas―on a fair playing field and the offers are determined by their merits and academic results
最後，經過那麼多篩選和競爭，我們十分希望在全球化下，香港能夠提供各類最優質、切合香港和國家甚至全世界國際社會需要的優質法律人才。
At the end of the day with so much screening and competition in place we very much hope that amid globalization Hong Kong can provide the best legal talents that meet the needs of Hong Kong our country and even the whole world
主席，坊間有人說吸煙可以減肥，亦有人說可以紓緩生活的緊張壓力，甚至帶來靈感，有助創作。
President some people in the community say that smoking can reduce weight while some others say that it can relieve the stress of life and even bring inspiration and stimulate creativity
但是，吸煙時釋出的物質，包括焦油和尼古丁，對身體健康造成影響是不爭的事實。
However it is indisputable that the substances emitted from smoking including tar and nicotine have an adverse impact on health
為保障市民健康，自由黨支持政府加強宣傳教育的工作，提醒市民吸煙危害健康。
To protect public health the Liberal Party supports the Governments enhancement of publicity and education work to remind the public that smoking is hazardous to health
但是，對於政府今次提出《2019年吸煙條例草案》，在沒有充分理據的支持下，"一刀切"把加熱煙與電子煙同時納入為另類吸煙產品，一併立法禁止進口、製造、售賣、分發丶推廣等的做法，我們有所保留。
However we have reservations about the approach adopted this time by the Government in the Smoking Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill indiscriminately incorporating heated tobacco products HTPs and electronic cigarettes as alternative smoking products and banning their import manufacture sale distribution and promotion altogether in the legislation without sufficient justifications . The Liberal Party supports the Governments ban on the sale of e - cigarettes because various studies have shown that e - cigarette products are more harmful to health than conventional cigarettes
