Liang Junyan believes that this Legislative Council is operating efficiently. As of December 15, this Legislative Council held a total of 33 meetings, a total of 264 hours and 22 minutes; five Chief Executive Q&A meetings were held, and a total of 103 inquiries were answered; the SAR government submitted a total of 25 bills, of which 17 were passed. He specifically pointed out that when affected by the fifth wave of the epidemic, the Legislative Council fulfilled its constitutional responsibilities through video conferences, and 7 video conferences handled the first reading of 6 bills, revised the Employment Ordinance, Copyright Ordinance, etc. during the epidemic, and debated the Policy Address.
Liang Junyan said that as Hong Kong improves the electoral system, the number of members of this Legislative Council has increased from 70 to 90, bringing together people of different classes and professions to make the Legislative Council more widely representative and better serve as a spokesperson for the public opinion. Although the Legislative Council no longer has "stormy waves", it does not mean that the supervision efforts have weakened. It has only changed from viciously obstructing the government's governance to benign supervision. He said: "The Legislative Council will not easily raise its hands to support any government bill, and the supervision efforts are completely large." He pointed out that now members of parliament are rational and pragmatic to do things for the people, and the opinions of members are diverse and will not be "all".
After the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, proposed to hold a front hall exchange meeting, which has been held five times so far. Liang Junyan believes that the achievements are significant, and the proposals made by the parliamentarians on restarting the economy and relaxing entry quarantine arrangements were also accepted by the SAR government. The exchange of front office will help officials listen to the public opinion of the parliamentarians, making the policy more "understand".
Liang Junyan emphasized that although the roles of the executive and legislative parties are different, the most important thing is to complement each other and promote the benign interaction between the executive and legislative bodies. He hopes that the SAR government will summarize the experience of the five front-end exchange meetings and go to the Legislative Council and parliamentarians to seek happiness for the citizens.
Front Hall Exchange Meeting aims to strengthen communication between Hong Kong SAR government officials and members of the SAR Legislative Council. The first front Hall Exchange Meeting was held for the first time on July 13 this year. Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Li Jiachao once said that he is full of confidence in the front hall exchange meeting and believes that under the leadership of the administration and under the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong", administrative legislative relations will take a new level.
