The Administration Department wrote to the Legislative Council yesterday (4th), expressing the hope that Members will focus on seven "areas of public concern" at tomorrow's Q&A session with the Chief Executive.

New Thinking Legislative Council member Di Zhiyuan criticized this morning for dwarfing the role of the Legislative Council in monitoring the government, and was criticized by the President of the Legislative Council, Leung Kwan-yen, for not knowing the "Rules of Procedure".


Di Zhiyuan later responded that he did not want to challenge the authority of the President of the Legislative Council, but hoped that the President would be flexible and allow Members to ask questions in other areas.

He pointed out that it is not ideal for the Administration to set such a precedent. If officials designate question areas when they go to the Legislative Council in the future, it will affect the space for members to speak, and it also makes people feel that the Chief Executive lacks confidence in dealing with issues in different areas. He hopes that Chief Executive Li Jiachao will have a broad vision. Respond to various questions from Members.


Di Zhiyuan pointed out that he would use the Administration's proposal as a reference, but he did not hope that it would become a "rule", otherwise it would affect the role of lawmakers in monitoring the government and damage the image of the Chief Executive.

For example, he pointed out that the social welfare issue has received much attention, but if it is necessary to ask questions within the scope designated by the authorities, members cannot raise relevant questions.

He believes that in promoting the relationship between the executive and the legislature, there is still room for everyone to break in. He believes that the new government is sincere, but it still takes time. He hopes that when Li Jiachao arrives at the Legislative Council, he will be more open and relaxed, allowing members to raise different questions.

Xi Jinping attended the July 1st ceremony, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of China said that it inspired the hearts of the people.
