Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have one question for Mr. Lung and Mr. Young.
About two weeks ago in a speech to the Legislative Council on April 22, 2015, outlining and advocating for proposals, Carrie Lam, chief secretary for administration of the Hong Kong SAR government, stated that “It is neither practical nor realistic to expect that one package of proposals can meet the ideals cherished by different people.” She continued by noting that the proposals “are attempts to find the greatest common ground and strike the right balance amongst numerous divergent requests and perspectives.”
However, what caught my attention was that in her concluding remarks Ms. Lamb also commented on the need for legislators to weigh very carefully whether the passage of these proposals, or a standstill in constitutional development, would be a more favourable outcome for the overall and long-term interests of Hong Kong.
I wonder if you could comment on her closing remarks with regard to a standstill in constitutional development. Either one of you can start.
