Following is the English translation of a speech by the Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Bureau, Dr York Chow, in moving the resolution to amend the Waste Disposal Ordinance (Amendment of Fourth Schedule) Notice 2006 today (March 29):
Madam President,
I rise to move the motion to amend the Waste Disposal Ordinance (Amendment of Fourth Schedule) Notice 2006 standing in my name on the Order Paper to incorporate the names of individuals who have obtained valid exemption permits for keeping poultry under the Public Health (Animals and Birds)(Licensing of Livestock Keeping)(Amendment) Regulation 2006 into the list of exempted persons in Schedule 4 to the Waste Disposal Ordinance. The background and purpose of the amendments are identical to those I've mentioned earlier.
The Subcommittee concerned has already endorsed these amendments. I hope Members will also support the motion.
Thank you, Madam President.
