The Legislative Council formed under the new electoral system ended its first legislative year session, and Legislative Council Chairman Leung Kwan-yen held a year-end press conference this morning (16th).
He said that the atmosphere in the parliament has returned to rationality and peace. During this session, a total of 33 general assembly meetings were held, with a total duration of 264 hours. A total of 17 of the 25 bills passed.
Liang Junyan pointed out that members of parliament are no less slack in monitoring the government than in the past, but the media did not report in detail, "It is not a juicy thing, and the media did not report it."
The total time of 33 conferences during the session is 264 hours
Liang Junyan said that a number of important laws have been passed in this legislative year, including the cancellation of MPF hedging, the implementation of the establishment of an international mediation institute preparatory office in Hong Kong, and the 2022 Copyright Amendment Ordinance.
He said that this session has completed the review of 176 "form first, then review" legislation, and has held debates on 33 parliamentarians' motions that have no legislative effect.
He pointed out that the five front office exchange meetings held in this legislative year have achieved remarkable results. The government has accepted many suggestions put forward by members of the legislature, which will help promote positive interaction between executive legislation and legislation.
He mentioned that in addition to strengthening communication with officials, the front office exchange meeting can also promote cross-party exchanges: "I will say a word to you, and the relationship will be a good bridge." He believes that it is necessary to maintain the arrangement of the front office exchange meeting, but it may held in different forms.

"I mispronounced Jian Huimin and Zhou Huimin appeared in the newspaper the next day!"
When asked how to convince the public that the Legislative Council will continue to monitor the government, Leung said that members of the Legislative Council will also try their best to monitor the government, but unlike previous vicious sabotage, they will not obstruct governance, prevent meetings, or create false meetings.
He said that the MPs were very nervous about important policies, and would ask detailed questions about government openings and other issues, but the media only reported "good news": "It turned out that the MPs proposed amendments and no one reported them. I mispronounced Jian Huimin as Zhou Huimin, and it appeared in the newspaper the next day. He believed that if the media reported the content of the meeting in detail, the public would see that the Legislative Council is not a rubber stamp.
In response to reports that citizens are less concerned about council affairs, Liang Junyan believes that citizens are concerned about immediate issues, such as the epidemic: "In the past, the concern was because of the noise and noise. Terrible things happened."
