them? In my opinion, apart from frequent, thorough and serious
reviews within the Government itself, and because Government
activities are closely related to the public, the Government
should widely heed or even make an effort to find out the views
of the general public on its own initiative and to accept their
constructive suggestions with an open mind. Thus, we can
expect to have fruitful results. Besides, what I want to
emphasize is that measures should be taken to ensure that any
work associated with Hong Kong's economic activities,
especially the conduct of the import and export trade, is not
unduly hindered by insufficient manpower.
I have great confidence in the future of Hoang Kong.
Since the initialling of the Sino-British Joint Declaration in
September last year, the positive investment attitude shown by investors both locally and from all over the world towards Hong
Kong's financial, industrial, commercial and other sectors
convinces me that Hong Kong's future economic developments will
move ahead along the same track as in previous years. Although
there may be ups and downs, but the trend will definitely be an
upward one. Our budget has improved better than expected. As can be seen from this year's budget, a balanced budget is
already in sight. If we are cautious enough, it will not be
too hard to return to the peak period we used to have, and even
more than that, in three to five years' time.
Sir, with these remarks, I support the motion.
