ARTS COUNCIL SENDS SUBMISSION TO LEGCO BILLS COMMITTEE

HONG

IN RESPONSE TO A RECENT DEBATE ON THE ISSUE OF ELECTIONS TO THE KONG ARTS DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (HKADC), THE COUNCIL HAS SENT A WRITTEN SUBMISSION TO PUT ITS POSITION TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL'S BILLS COMMITTEE TO FACILITATE DISCUSSIONS.

IN ADDITION, THREE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE HKADC, DR CHAN WING-WAH, MR OSCAR HO, AND MR YU SHU-TAK, TOGETHER WITH THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, MRS KATHERINE HALL, PRESENTED THE COUNCIL'S POSITION AT A HEARING HELD BY THE BILLS COMMITTEE ON THE HKADC BILL ON TUESDAY (NOVEMBER 22).

MEMBERS OF THE HKADC ARE IN GENERAL IN SUPPORT OF THE PRINCIPLE OF ELECTIONS TO THE HKADC.

HOWEVER, MEMBERS ALSO RECOGNISED THAT THE ELECTION PROCESS WAS A CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER WHICH WAS OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF THE HKADC AND ITS ORDINANCE.

MEMBERS FELT THAT THE HKADC ITSELF SHOULD NOT BE THERE ΤΟ DEFINE OR ORGANISE THE ARTS CONSTITUENCY FOR ELECTIONS, IT IS ESSENTIALLY FOR THE ARTS CONSTITUENCY ITSELF ΤΟ DEFINE, AND ΤΟ ORGANISE, ITSELF IF IT CHOOSES SO TO DO.

THE HKADC IS AWARE OF THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE DESIRABILITY OF ELECTIONS AS A PRINCIPLE, AND THE PRACTICAL LIMITATIONS OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN CURRENT DEVELOPMENT CIRCUMSTANCES.

MEMBERS ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THE ARTS DEVELOPMENT INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE SHOULD BE PARAMOUNT AND ASSIDUOUSLY PROMOTED IN THE CURRENT MOMENTUM TOWARDS THIS OBJECTIVE IN HONG KONG.

MEMBERS WOULD THEREFORE URGE ALL POSSIBLE EXPEDITION IN THE SMOOTH PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
