SIR, THERE WAS ANOTHER COMMENT, MADE I THINK BY MR MARTIN REGARDING THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF WHICH I AM CHAIRMAN. XPLAINED THE REASON WHY WE ESTABLISHED THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY TO HANDLE THESE PROJECTS. WE ARE FOLLOWING A WELL-TRIED AND TESTED PATH; WE ESTABLISHED A PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY TO START THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY, AND OF COURSE EVENTUALLY THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY CORPORATION WAS SET UP. ONE ADVANTAGE OF OUR APPROACH IS THAT. IT ENABLES LEADING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. TO BE APPOINTED TO THE AUTHORITY SO THAT “IT MAY BENEFIT FROM THEIR INDIVIDUAL TECHNICAL, FINANCIAL AND MANAGERIAL SKILLS. NOW ALL MEMBERS OF THE AUTHORITY ARE WELL AWARE THAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST SITUATIONS CAN ARISE AND THE ESTABLISHED PRACTICE IS, FOR ANY MEMBER INVOLVED IN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SITUATION, TO DECLARE HIS INTEREST. THEREAFTER, HE DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE RELATED DECISION MAKING PROCESS. SIR, I CAN ASSURE MEMBERS THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, AND THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY IN DUE COURSE, DOES NOT BRING INTO BEING ANY ABUSES OR POSSIBILITIES OF ANY ABUSES WHATSOEVER.
SIE, WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE URGENT NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT AIRPORT, WE CANNOT IGNORE THE REALITIES OF AN INCREASINGLY CONGESTED KAI TAK, WE CANNOT AFFORD UNDUE DELAY. GETTING ON WITH THE PROJECT IS IN THE BEST LONG-TERM INTERESTS OF HONG KONG.
SIR, WITH THESE REMARKS, I SUPPORT THE AMENDED MOTION.
