BILLS Committee Stage CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Good morning, Members. Committee will now resume. As some Members are going to entertain some guests at noon today, I will suspend the meeting at about 1 pm. Besides, a House Committee meeting has been scheduled after lunch. We will resume the Council meeting after the House Committee meeting has ended. In the evening, I will suspend the meeting at an appropriate time for us to have dinner. Today's meeting will be adjourned at 10 pm. We will now continue to put to vote the various amendments to clause 3 of the Legislative Council (Amendment) Bill 2012 in order. Mr Albert CHAN, you may now move your amendment No. 9. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (AMENDMENT) BILL 2012 MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, first of all, can you clarify and explain why you suddenly announced that today's meeting would be postponed for half an hour? If the meeting had been convened at 9 am, it would have been cancelled due to a lack of quorum. Postponing the meeting for half an hour can obviously be perceived as a biased act for the Government. It is like blowing a "black whistle" in a football match. Can you explain about it? CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Unless Members really wished to have the meeting cancelled for a lack of quorum, we should consider adjusting the meeting time so long as there was the possibility that the meeting would be cancelled in the absence of a quorum. This morning the amber rainstorm warning had been issued. In such bad weather, many people would be late at work. Some Members had also told me that it would be difficult for them to come back before 9 am, so I made this appropriate arrangement. MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, I live the farthest away from here. Seeing such heavy rain this morning, I set off half an hour earlier. Thus, if Members arrived late, it was their responsibility


10538

CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr CHAN, I understand that you wish to see the

meeting cancelled for a lack of quorum, but I think such an arrangement was not

biased towards the Government. Rather, it was for the sake of efficient

operation of the Council. Moreover, the Basic Law provides that the meeting

time shall be decided by the President of the Legislative Council. Hence, please

follow the procedure and move your amendment No. 10 now.

MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, I just wish to convey my

feeling that there is an element of bias.

Chairman, there are still some 1 000 amendments. Just take your time to

do the voting. I move amendment No. 9 under my name.

CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): It should be amendment No. 10. We already

voted on amendment No. 9 yesterday.

MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, I move amendment No. 10

under my name.

Proposed amendment

Amendment No. 10 (See Annex I)

CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I now put the question to you and that is: That the

amendment moved by Mr Albert CHAN be passed.

CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Will those in favour please raise their hands?

THE CHAIRMAN announced that among the Members returned by functional constituencies, 21 were present and 21 were against the amendment; while among the Members returned by geographical constituencies through direct elections, 11 were present, one was in favour of the amendment and nine against it. Since the question was not agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present, he therefore declared that the amendment was negatived. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Just now Mr Albert CHAN was right in moving amendment No. 9. It happens that my record is wrong. The Clerk has just reminded me that amendment No. 9 has not been put to vote. Since we have just voted on amendment No. 10, Mr Albert CHAN, would you please go back to move amendment No. 9 now? MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): I should have insisted that I was right, as in the case that the ruling made by you yesterday was wrong, Chairman. Chairman, I move amendment No. 9 under my name. Proposed amendment Amendment No. 9 (See Annex I) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I now put the question to you and that is: That the amendment moved by Mr Albert CHAN be passed.

Since the question was not agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present, he therefore declared that the amendment was negatived. (Mr CHIM Pui-chung stood up) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr CHIM Pui-chung, what is your question? MR CHIM PUI-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Chairman, please read carefully the requirement on claiming division. A division is claimed under "Decision of Council and Committee of the Whole Council" in Rule 47 of the Rules of Procedure (RoP). It is stipulated clearly under paragraph (c) that, "if a Member challenges the statement of the President or Chairman by claiming a division" ― please read carefully. The so-called "challenge" is referring to the situation of close voting results, when it may be misleading for you to announce which side wins. It is only under this circumstance that Members have the right to claim a division. There are now 30-odd Members in this Chamber. As shown in the record, each Member may sign a statement to guarantee that they will not change their voting preference. Besides, the results are obvious, who will challenge that your statement is incorrect? Therefore, Chairman, I think there are absolutely no grounds for claiming a division.


10641

You may first adjourn the meeting to examine this issue and then make a ruling that is in line with the fact. This point is very obvious. This is the point I wanted to raise yesterday, but you forbid me to do so. However, it is unreasonable that some people violate the rule and I should be made to sit here for a few days! How about you first suspend the meeting and examine this issue with the Legal Adviser Mr Paul TSE has something to say. MR PAUL TSE (in Cantonese): Chairman, Mr CHIM Pui-chung has, as usual, given vent to his anger in a forthright manner, for he thinks there are some problems with this Rule in the RoP. Chairman, I have also examined this Rule carefully and find that it does give room for the Chairman to When the statement is highly unlikely to be challenged, it is really unnecessary for us to follow the rule rigidly to the extent that we have to press the button every time for the division. Chairman, I hope you will try to examine, under the present special situation Chairman, yesterday, you invoked Rule 92 of the RoP, which I think it is rather controversial, yet, under the present situation, this may be the only option. I notice that there is a pattern regarding the voting preference in the Chamber now. Regarding the "challenge" as stated in Rule 47 of the RoP, it is not about right or wrong on your part, instead it is about the difficulty in judging which side is in the majority. Hence, there is a need to count the number of votes of both sides, so as to confirm who side wins or loses, whether the "aye" or the "nay" wins. It is under this circumstance that a division shall be claimed. In other words, division should be claimed for this reason, but not as a tradition. A division will be carried out indiscriminately whenever someone rises to claim a division. I think this is merely a tradition but not a practice which can never be overturned or changed. Thank you, Chairman. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I will suspend the meeting at around 11.30 am to check the RoP and discuss with the Legal Adviser.


10642

MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, I understand that Members are getting impatient and dissatisfied. Actually, 34 Members are now in the Chamber, playing with me the game of "mad phoenix vs wild dragon". As I said earlier, we are squandering our lifetime. However, Chairman, according to the RoP, it is a tradition that a division must be carried out. Any Member may claim a division. This is the tradition. Last time, you had already made a significant ruling. The right to claim a division should not be taken away. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr Albert CHAN, please move your amendment No. 63. MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, I move amendment No. 63 under my name.

(Members raised their hands) Mr Albert CHAN rose to claim a division. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr Albert CHAN has claimed a division. The division bell will ring for one minute. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Will Members please proceed to vote. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Will Members please check their votes. If there are no queries, voting shall now stop and the result will be displayed. Functional Constituencies: Dr Raymond HO, Mrs Sophie LEUNG, Dr Philip WONG, Mr WONG Yung-kan, Mr LAU Wong-fat, Ms Miriam LAU, Mr Abraham SHEK, Mr Tommy CHEUNG, Mr Jeffrey LAM, Mr Andrew LEUNG, Mr WONG Ting-kwong, Mr


10651

CHIM Pui-chung, Dr LAM Tai-fai, Mr Paul CHAN, Mr CHAN Kin-por, Mr IP Wai-ming, Mr IP Kwok-him, Dr PAN Pey-chyou, Mr Paul TSE and Dr Samson TAM voted against the amendment. Geographical Constituencies: Mr Albert CHAN voted for the amendment. Mr CHAN Kam-lam, Mr LAU Kong-wah, Mr TAM Yiu-chung, Mr WONG Kwok-hing, Mr CHEUNG Hok-ming, Ms Starry LEE, Mr CHAN Hak-kan, Dr Priscilla LEUNG, Mr WONG Kwok-kin and Mrs Regina IP voted against the amendment. THE CHAIRMAN, Mr Jasper TSANG, did not cast any vote. THE CHAIRMAN announced that among the Members returned by functional constituencies, 20 were present and 20 were against the amendment; while among the Members returned by geographical constituencies through direct elections, 12 were present, one was in favour of the amendment and 10 against it. Since the question was not agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present, he therefore declared that the amendment was negatived. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): The meeting will now suspend for 10 minutes. 11.30 am Meeting suspended. 11.42 am Committee then resumed.


10652

CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Clerk, please ring the bell to summon Members to the Chamber. (After the summoning bell had been rung, a number of Members returned to the Chamber) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Committee now resumes. I will now reply the questions put forth by Mr CHIM Pui-chung and Mr Paul TSE before the meeting suspended. As pointed out by Mr CHIM and Mr TSE, it is stated in Rule 47(1)(c) of the Rules of Procedure (RoP) that "if a Member challenges the statement of the President or Chairman by claiming a division ", yet the provision does not require the Member claiming a division to provide a reason for raising the challenge, nor does it stipulate the basis for raising such challenge. It is pointed out in the provision that when a Member claims a division, "the President or Chairman shall order the Council or the committee to proceed to a division". The staff of the Secretariat has also confirmed to me that it has been the established practice of the legislature that whenever a Member claims a division, the President or Chairman has never requested the Member claiming a division to give reason for the claim. Even at times when the Council as a whole knows the voting preference of the Member claiming the division, the President or Chairman will not oppose proceeding to a division. In some cases, when the President or Chairman has asked Members to indicate their preference by a show of hands and all Members have voted for or against a motion, a Member may still claim a division, and the President or Chairman will still order proceeding to a division in accordance with the RoP. Therefore, we should adhere to the established practice of the legislature to allow Members to claim a division. Once a Member makes the claim, the President or the Chairman will have to order to proceed to a division. MR PAUL TSE (in Cantonese): Chairman, excuse me, I absolutely have no intention to challenge the ruling you have just made. However, I hope and implore the Chairman to read the relevant provision carefully when you can spare some time, say later during lunch. There is a historical background for the requirement, including the usage of the term "division". According to the


10653

tradition of the British Parliament, when the Speaker could not clearly differentiate whether the aye-side or the nay-side prevailed, and someone claimed a division, the Members concerned had to enter the Chamber from two paths for the purpose of a headcount. This is the origin of the term "division". Hong Kong has followed the British traditional in using this term, yet we only know the practice but not the rationale behind. For this reason, no one has ever queried this requirement in the history of Hong Kong. I have to thank Mr CHIM Pui-chung for sharing my query against this established practice. We are indignant, for we think that this established practice has been taken for granted. In actuality, Chairman, the claim of a division does not aim at recording the names of Members who voting for and against the motion, but to challenge the accuracy of headcount. When the show of hands indicate a close result at a glance, say around 40 hands for and 40 hands against, a ratio of 50:50, and someone claims a division, Members should press the voting button for the division. This is the purpose of a division. It is not carried out for record purpose so that people may challenge the voting preference of a certain Member in future. This is the not the historical background and the purpose of a division, nor is it the content of the provision. When we encounter new difficulties or challenges, we have to carefully examine the origin of the requirement, the content of the provision and the appropriateness of making an amendment. Certainly, the amendment has to be proposed according to certain procedures. However, if the provision is already crystal clear, and it is only because we have been misled by the previous presumption, then we should make the appropriate decision at an appropriate time to bring further flexibility and efficiency to the legislature. Hence, I oppose to the pedantic adherence of the relevant requirement. There is a historical reason for every requirement and there is also the need to change. It may be a bit hasty to decide now for we may not have adequate time for discussion. However, I hope the Chairman will consult the Legal Adviser and the Legislative Council Secretariat at an appropriate time ― even if this will not be done this afternoon, it should be done tonight at the latest. I also hope that he will look up this traditional practice of the United Kingdom CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr TSE, I heard your views.


10654

MR PAUL TSE (in Cantonese): then please make a decision again. Thank you, Chairman. MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): Chairman, after reading Rule 49(4) of the RoP, I would like to raise the following points. First, the Chinese text is very clearly written. Second, I heard Mr Paul TSE say earlier that the purpose of a division is not to put the voting preference of Members on record, Chairman, I think this remark will spark off an intense debate. I seek the Chairman's explanation for Rule 49(4) does not only include the requirement on proceeding to division after the one-minute division bell but also the obvious requirement for recording the voting records of Members. I fear that Mr Paul TSE's remark may prompt the Secretariat to count and record the number but not the names of Members in the voting results in future. In my view, since the colonial era, all divisions held after the ringing of the division bell have not only recorded the number, but also the voting preference of each Member. The record will be distributed to us, and put on record in the Hansard. Chairman, am I wrong in my understanding? Thank you, Chairman. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I heard your views. MR PAUL TSE (in Cantonese): I would like to add a brief note. Mr LEE Wing-tat's view is correct. The procedures and record of a division are stated in Rule 49 of the RoP, yet this is based on Rule 47. That means Rule 49 will only be applied when Rule 47 is applied, and if Rule 47 is not applied, Rule 49 will not be applicable, Chairman. MR CHIM PUI-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Chairman, it is clearly stated in Rule 47(c) that the judgment of the Chairman is being challenged. Did any Member rise to indicate that, "Chairman, I challenge your counting of hands?" The result of 30-odd hands against one hand is more than obvious. If Members from the pan-democratic camp want to claim a division, will they please enter the Chamber, for this will make the voting result closer. If the Chairman has counted the number of hands wrongly due to insufficient rest, there is a case for dispute, but it is obvious that the


10655

pan-democratic camp only has one vote. If so, how would there be any dispute? Am I right? Therefore, we should respect It is a separate issue if they mean to filibuster. Yet, there are a lot of opportunities for filibustering. It is unjustified to mislead Members with this simple mathematics. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Honourable Members, I have made a decision on this issue. I agree with some of the views put forth by Members, we will consider this again carefully. MS AUDREY EU (in Cantonese): Chairman, I have a point of order. I am worried. Whether Members have participated in the filibuster is another issue, if the Chairman makes unpredictable changes to the rules, the established practices that we have been adhering to will be non-existent. I am really worried about this. Since the Chairman said just now that you would reconsider the issue in response to the remarks of Mr Paul TSE and Mr CHIM Pui-chung, I worry that you would suddenly, perhaps in the middle of the night, come out to announce the need to change the RoP or the practice we have adopted all along. Hence, Chairman, I implore that if you intend to make a ruling which deviates from our established practice, which is not stipulated in the RoP and which is some idea you think out of the blue, please do so in a transparent way and give us adequate notice period. I hope the Chairman will give us enough time, so that we can discuss the issue with you before you make a ruling. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Ms EU, you may have overstated the case. I heard your views. MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): The Democratic Party shares the same concern. Chairman, you entered the Legislative Council (立法局 ) after the reunification, whereas I entered the former Legislative Council (立法會) during

the colonial era, so I have read the RoP many times. Some practices are parliamentary practices established over a long period of time by Members who come from different political parties and groupings. Chairman, you know about


10656

that. Though the Legislative Council is not a parliament, there are practices to be followed. These practices form a set of rules to be complied with by Members who may have different views. This set of rules is established by Members over the years. If your present analysis and decision concerning the RoP differ from your previous analysis and decision, or differ from those of Rita FAN and Andrew WONG, you should give us adequate notice period for debate before you make a decision. Chairman, I would like to put forth another question. Regarding the decision to resume the meeting at 9.30 am this morning, which Rule of the RoP did you base on in making this decision? I heard some comments that the meeting was postponed for the Secretariat learnt that a few colleagues would be late. Chairman, I would like to ask: If one day eight colleagues from the Democratic Party is late for the meeting, will you postpone the meeting time from 11 am to 12 noon? I advise you not to do so. You should not change the meeting time from 11 am to 12 noon even if Members from the Democratic Party are late, for this will break the practice Chairman, you are not playing the role of a referee but taking part in the game. It seems that you have the political mission to pass the Bill CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr LEE, I heard your views. DR MARGARET NG (in Cantonese): Chairman, excuse me, I would like to point out that the Chairman seems to have accepted a new practice, that is when Members put forth different views on the ruling given by the Chairman and ask the Chairman to reconsider, the Chairman will reconsider the ruling. Moreover, you may overturn the original ruling and make a new ruling without any advance notice. The recent incident makes me worry that the RoP has been completely disrupted. Chairman, as you know, according to the RoP, Members are not allowed to challenge the Chairman's ruling at the meeting, and even if we criticize the Chairman's ruling afterwards, the Chairman's ruling remains valid. Hence, Chairman, I am afraid we are coming closer to the last resort that all legislatures can enforce by tradition, that is, we have to propose a motion of no confidence in you so as to challenge your ruling.


10657

I notice that the RoP has mentioned other motions but not the motion of no confidence in the Chairman. In this case, if Members intend to give notice on moving that motion so that the Secretariat can make arrangement, I would like to ask the Chairman to consider this request according to your new tradition. According to Rule 92 of the RoP, will the Chairman rule whether we may propose a motion of no confidence in the President of the Legislative Council with or without notice? Thank you, Chairman. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I heard all the creative proposals put forth by Members. I will first respond to Mr LEE Wing-tat's view about the arrangement for the meeting time this morning. The fact was that the weather was bad this morning. The Hong Kong Observatory issued the Rainstorm Amber and many places in the territory were affected by traffic congestion. At around 8.30 am this morning, colleagues of the Secretariat told me that a number of Members had called to indicate that they might not arrive on time at 9 am. Colleagues of the Secretariat then sought my advice on the possibility of postponing the start time of the meeting for a short while, and I finally decided to change the start time of the meeting to 9.30 am. It is not my concern whether Members coming back for meeting are from the pro-establishment camp, democratic camp, the Democratic Party or the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB), yet the actual situation was that we had not received any call from Members not intending to attend the meeting, indicating their difficulty of attending the meeting on time due to traffic congestion. For Members hurrying back to the meeting, they would naturally call the Secretariat when they were affected by traffic congestion. For Members not intending to attend the meeting, they would not call the Secretariat even if they were stuck in traffic congestion. This is common sense. Hence, there is no question of political preference on my part, I am not yielding to Members of the Democratic Party nor tilting to Members of the DAB or the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions. Regarding Mr LEE Wing-tat's question on my source of power, it is from the Basic Law. Article 72 of the Basic Law empowers the President to decide on the time of meetings. Members do not need to perceive this as a significant political issue. However, we learn from experience, and I will pay attention to the queries raised by Members. If similar scenario arises again in future, I will


10658

consider the issue from various aspects in a more cautious manner in deciding whether or not to postpone the meeting time for a short while, so as to avoid giving an impression to others that I have lost my political neutrality. I have come to realize this point in this incident. For the proposal put forth by Dr Margaret NG, I will consider this in the same manner as I consider the views of other Members. If a Member puts forth a proposal seriously, I will definitely consider it seriously. MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): We have to act in accordance with the RoP and the House Rules. It is not a matter of who the Chairman is and which political party or grouping is involved. Besides, I have not asked the Chairman to yield to the Democratic Party. What I mean is that since you have taken up the position as Chairman, which political party or grouping you belong to is not my concern; similarly, being in this position, you should not be concerned about the political parties and groupings to which the 60 colleagues of this Council belong. Rule 28 of the House Rules makes express provision about the condition for cancelling or postponing a meeting. It states that, "All meetings shall continue to be held when Storm Signal No. 1 or No. 3 is hoisted, or when a Rainstorm Amber or Red Warning is in force." Chairman, since only the Rainstorm Amber was issued this morning, "the meeting shall continue to be held" according to the provision in the House Rules. I am not asking the Chairman to yield to the Democratic Party. What I mean is: Since the Chairman has set a precedent this time, if some Members request to postpone the meeting time because of rain next time, will the Chairman also act accordingly? Chairman, you give me the impression that you are political. You may disagree, but this is my impression. You hope that the Bill will be passed and the meeting will not be aborted, and so you arranged the meeting to start at 9.30 am. However, whether the meeting will be aborted, or whether the Bill will be passed, the Chairman should not be held responsible. As Chairman, you role is to be the referee. It is not your concern whether the bills submitted by the Government will be passed. It is the 59 colleagues who make the decision by voting, and it is not to be decided by you, Chairman. Otherwise, should we throw the House Rules into the rubbish bin, Chairman?


10659

CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): No. Mr LEE, as you said earlier, you are familiar with the legislature. Although you have wrongly called 立法局 (former Legislative Council) at the so-called colonial era as 立法會 (Legislative Council), and 立法會 after the reunification as 立法局 , I believe it does not reflect whether you have vast or little knowledge of the legislature. However, you should also know the priority of the three documents, namely House Rules, RoP and Basic Law. The RoP is made according to the Basic Law, and the Basic Law provides that the Legislative Council can formulate the RoP, but there is a provision stating that the RoP shall not contravene the Basic Law. Moreover, Members also know that the binding power of the House Rules is not comparable to the RoP. Mr LEE, you also know that Rule 14(3) of the RoP stipulates that "The President may, at any time after he has determined the day and hour upon which a meeting is to begin, change the day or hour so determined to a later day or hour, or to an earlier day or hour". It is based on Rule 14(3) that I determine to postpone the meeting by half an hour this morning. MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): I have a point of order. I would like to clarify Rule 14(3) of the RoP which you have just mentioned. According to my understanding, the President may determine the meeting hour of all meetings, and it is our parliamentary practice that the President will give written notice to inform us every time. Never has there been a case in which the start time of a meeting was changed from the 9 am to 9.30 am or from 11 am to 11.30 am. Chairman, are you telling us that you are formulating a new RoP according to your personal preference and without discussion. Chairman, has such thing ever happened in the legislature? The answer is no. According to Rule 14(3), we receive notice of meeting every week, and if there is any change of the day or hour of the meeting, a written notice should be issued at least one day in advance to inform us about the change. Is this the case, Chairman? CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Honourable Members, we have had enough discussion. The meetings of the Legislative Council are open meetings. The public will learn about our exchanges through the media. If my decision contravenes the RoP, or if I have been dictatorial, or if I have acted wildly in defiance of the law after one night's sleep, as a Member has claimed, the public


10660

will definitely know that. All Members are elected to this Council and I am elected by Members to be the President of this Council. The public will decide whether the arguments made by Members are false reasoning, rational or convincing. We have had enough discussion on this issue. (Ms Cyd HO stood up) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Ms Cyd HO, do you have to point of order? MS CYD HO (in Cantonese): Chairman, the RoP can become rules because of its predictability, and with it, comes creditability. I do not hope that the Chairman will make instant changes to the rules according to your preference or impromptu requests made by Members according to their spontaneous preference. Second, I do not hope that you will take the obvious differentiation of majority and minority in voting as a factor for consideration. All along, the 20 Members on this side, adding the three Members in the middle, will be against the 36 Members on the other side. More often than not, the voting result is 36:23. If the factors of obvious majority and clear-cut numbers are adopted for not carrying out a division, Chairman, no division will be required in future. Hence, I hope that you will not regard the majority or minority in number as a factor for consideration. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I totally agree with the views of Ms HO. DR MARGARET NG (in Cantonese): Chairman, concerning Rule 14(3), when you responded to Mr LEE Wing-tat's question earlier, you mentioned that the President of the Legislative Council might give notice at any time after he had determined the day and hour of a meeting. Chairman, it is natural that the RoP is based on many presumptions. These presumptions are common sense that no one will query. For situations which these general principles are applicable, they will not be included in the RoP. Chairman, regarding the phrase "at any time" in the Rule, it is our usual understanding that a notice will be issued. For instance, if the Chairman suddenly calls a few Members to hold a meeting in the middle of the night, which


10661

he considers possible, and if Members from other political parties and groupings have not received any notice and cannot make it, then many issues may be passed at that meeting. If the Chairman does so in actuality, it is in compliance with Rule 14(3), yet it violates the spirit of the RoP, and I believe the Chairman will agree with this. Hence, Chairman, if you will give further clarification on Rule 14 or the change of the meeting time later, I hope you will clarify this point thoroughly, so as to spare Members from watching out for meeting notice round the clock in future ― I do not know what this notice is referring to, for notification provided through all kinds of channels may be regarded as notice. Chairman, Members are worried because of that. Therefore, if you are going to make further clarification, I hope you will explain this aspect further. MR PAUL TSE (in Cantonese): Chairman, Rule 14(3) and Rule 14(5) are from the same origin. Just now, we have a 10-minute break, which I believe is arranged according to Rule 14(5). Notification in writing is not required, and the Chairman absolutely is authorized to do so. Certainly, for the convenience of all Members, particularly when many Members do not receive message via their phone, I welcome and expect the Chairman to notify Members in writing of any change where the situation allows. However, any further challenge against the Chairman for lacking the power to do this and that, for this and that has not been done in the past This saying is incorrect for such arrangements had been made before. Rule 14(5) has been invoked quite often, and the arrangement to conduct the House Committee meeting first this afternoon is a change. Therefore, I hope Members will not escalate a political-neutral matter to the interpretation under Rule 92, alleging that the Chairman is violating the established practice again, for this will only deepen the fissures further and undermine the operation of this Council. The filibuster we now encounter has never occurred before, and in the past, no Member had ever thrown objects in the Chamber. Chairman, in the face of new challenges, as in the case of the 911 attack by Osama bin Laden in the United States, new approaches have to be adopted as counter-measures.


10662

MR LAU KONG-WAH (in Cantonese): Chairman, I think that the time In fact, it is because of the discussion on division raised by Mr CHIM Pui-chung and Mr Paul TSE that we have a break. Late regarding the postponement of today's meeting time, I recall clearly that the Chairman had explained the case when the meeting started at 9.30 am, and I personally consider that the arrangement was reasonable and in compliance with the RoP. However, some Members enter the Chamber after 9.30 am They enter at 12 noon and then query the arrangement. I wonder if it is proper to do so. What if some Members enter this Chamber three hours later to query the arrangement, should we then discuss the issue again? I think the most appropriate approach is to leave the issue to the House Committee, is it not? Moreover, I call on the late comers to stay in the Chamber. They should not be absent from the meeting, otherwise they will not know what has happened. They only come in three hours after the incident and start a discussion; I think it is extremely unfair to this Council and other Members who stay in the Chamber all the time. (Dr Margaret NG stood up) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Dr Margaret NG, do you have a point of order? DR MARGARET NG (in Cantonese): Yes. Since Mr Paul TSE mentioned Rule 14(5), I hope the Chairman will also explain this when you make further clarification later. Regarding the suspension of meeting mentioned in Rule 14(5), under the present situation when all Members are in the Chamber, the question of notification is not a concern. When the condition under Rule 15 is applicable to the notification of meeting time, I am afraid Members will get worried. Therefore, Chairman, please explain this point when you make the clarification. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Honourable Members, we will put to vote the various amendments to clause 3 of the Legislative Council (Amendment) Bill 2012 in order. Unless there is a point of order, say when Members consider that certain conditions at the meeting contravenes the RoP or there are issues relating to the enforcement of the requirement of the RoP, I will not allow Members to rise to speak on issue unrelated to the point of order.


10663

I have no intention to allow a debate on the various provisions in the RoP in this Chamber, for there is obviously other more appropriate forum for such discussion, such as the Committee on Rules of Procedure. If Members have any views about my enforcement of the RoP, I reiterate that I am more than willing to listen to Members' views at any time outside the meeting hours. We should stop debating issues related to the RoP now. (Mr KAM Nai-wai stood up) MR KAM NAI-WAI (in Cantonese): I would like to clarify one point. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): What do you want to clarify? MR KAM NAI-WAI (in Cantonese): Chairman, I would like to clarify one point about your earlier remarks, for you said earlier This morning, I received a SMS from the Legislative Council I arrived here at 8.30 am, and at 8.39 am, I received a SMS from the Secretary that the meeting had to be postponed. I heard you say earlier that you had received notification from colleagues that the Rainstorm Amber had been issued. However, at 8.39 am, the Rainstorm Amber had not been issued yet. I have checked the information on the Internet and found that the Rainstorm Amber was issued at 8.55 am. I wonder if the Chairman had predicted that the Rainstorm Amber would be issued and he thus decided to postpone the meeting. I would like to clarify this point, for you said earlier that upon receiving the notification of the issue of the Rainstorm Amber, you then requested the meeting to be postponed. However, in the actual case, the Rainstorm Amber was issued at 8.55 am. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr KAM, we all know that the weather would be probably very bad prior to the issue of the Rainstorm Amber. When I said that the Rainstorm Amber had been issued this morning, I wanted to illustrate that there were heavy rain and the weather condition was bad at certain time this morning. I had not checked with the Secretariat which Members had called, nor asked when the Rainstorm Amber was issued. I have to reiterate that this debate should stop and we should return to the agenda to continue with the voting on the various amendments to clause 3 of the Bill. Mr Albert CHAN, please move your amendment No. 68.


10664

MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, I thank Mr Paul TSE, Mr CHIM Pui-chung, Mr LAU Kong-wah and other Members for helping me to filibuster. More time has been postponed.
