Last updated: 2020-01-13 10:57The government proposes to amend the statutory maternity leave to 14 weeks, but because the internal committee has not yet elected a chairman, a bill committee cannot be established. The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Law Chi-kwong, suddenly moved last week to bypass the meeting and submit it to the Human Services Committee for consideration. Luo Zhiguang stated in a blog yesterday (12th) that he made a decision 6 minutes before the legislative meeting, so he did not have time to make a notice of the incident, and did not inform other government officials that he acknowledged that it was a "chop first.
Democratic Party Chairman Hu Zhiwei criticized in the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium", Luo Zhiguang's approach reflects the loss of government governance, which has not been discussed even within the government. At present, the level of trust in the government is so low that it is easy to question The government did so with ulterior motives.
Liberal Party leader Zhong Guobin pointed out that the government ’s approach is “urgent and hassle-free” and purely “bo Yibo”. I personally think that Luo Zhiguang ’s approach is inconsistent with the established procedures of the past, but that the extension of the maternity leave bill itself is not too controversial. I promise to do this only once. There is no room for discussion.

Hu Zhiwei: Unacceptable government practices inevitably cause people to question ulterior motives
Hu Zhiwei pointed out that the incident reflects a serious problem in the government's affairs. He has never seen such a phenomenon. He believes that to take such an action that deviates from the norm, the government "at least once internally," but Luo Zhiguang did not give a report. 10 am The motion will be announced from left to right. It will be explained at 2 pm. There is no discussion or preparation of response with other officials in the middle of 4 hours. Hu Zhiwei thought that the incident was "a bit scary", which showed that the government's governance was out of hand and was "very, very unacceptable."
Hu Zhiwei also believed that the incident, just like the revision of the Fugitive Offenders Regulations on the same day, showed that if the government encountered a dispute, it would forcibly bypass the Bills Committee. The situation was worrying because the government authorities did not attach importance to the indignation of the people and did not face the society Trust, achieve your purpose by bypassing the program. He also confessed that with the current low level of social trust in the government, as long as the government moves slightly away from its original trajectory, it will lead to questions about whether there is another purpose behind it, and believes that the core of the problem is the government's refusal to respond to civil demands for more than half a year.
Zhong Guobin mentioned that the government ’s approach is believed to be “emergency”, because the interior will be shut down, and there is no other way to think of it. Therefore, “Ji Cai” hopes to push quickly, purely “Bo Yi Bo”, do better, do Less than that counts. He pointed out that the maternity leave bill itself is not controversial and is supported by all parties. If the internal affairs are stuck, all the bills cannot be done, which is not good for the entire society. As the Legislative Council convened earlier, this week will continue to discuss related practices. If the government can guarantee that the practice of bypassing the internal conference will not be an example, but it will be beneficial to the society as a whole, he believes that it can "fall down."

The outside world will be shut down when the chairman will be elected. Hu Zhiwei pointed out that Li Huiqiong, the previous chairman of the conference, is still the chairman and has the right to convene a meeting. The chairman can be elected by continuously adding meetings and increasing the number of hours. Therefore, it is believed that the suspension of the conference will not end indefinitely. end. But Zhong Guobin questioned that there is no timetable and it is difficult to guarantee when it will be passed.
As for the government to bypass the internal conference, the amendment will be discussed by the Human Services Committee, and whether it can functionally replace the Bills Committee. Zhong Guobin pointed out that the 18 Panels of the Legislative Council have no power to represent the Bills Committee model. Therefore, in the Panel, discussions can still be discussed, but whether there is any statutory nature of the Bills Committee is unknown to everyone, because similar incidents have not happened in the past. Therefore, it is unknown if the committee has decided whether it will be challenged by law after the committee has discussed it.
