【政府全面禁堂食 促盡快召開立法會特別財委會「攞錢救人」】
過去兩星期，飲食業界一直非常謹慎，盡力配合政府的防疫措施。可惜，政府應對第三波疫情時，仍然對飲食業實施「一刀切」的「全面禁堂食」辣招，而且並無公布任何援助措施，業界實在感到非常沮喪和無助。
我已促請政府盡快召開立法會特別財委會，不要待10月復會才審議撥款，因到時已「屍橫遍野」，我認為應馬上開會審議，並通過「救命錢」，盡快幫幫垂死的飲食業，特別是16,000間有堂食的食肆，不單是未來7天，因不少業界已近14天已無得做晚市，生意早已大跌8成，故我促請財政司盡快「計好數」，於財委會「攞錢救人」。
我亦已促請食衛局盡快檢視有無錢剩，做法就如我早前向教育局爭取向學校飯盒商發放資助，先向業界發放應急錢，最緊要「快」！
我在此要再三懇請各大業主減租，甚至考慮全面免租助業界渡過難關，千萬不要拉人封鋪、停水停電、入稟法庭，出清盤令等；我明白大家在疫情下各有困難，但飲食業與大家唇齒相依，大家趕盡殺絕也無補於事。

Urge urgent extraordinary Finance Committee Meeting to find ways to rescue the catering industry paralyzed by the Government’s all day ban on dine-ins
Although the catering industry has always been extremely careful with our epidemic prevention, and totally law-abiding to the Government’s requirements, it is regrettable that a total ban on all dine-ins is still imposed for us. And without any assistance measures on hand has caused us more frustrations.
I have thus urged the Government to convene a Special Finance Committee meeting to study any possible rescue plans, and our Financial Secretary to compute a budget soonest, otherwise the catering industry would have collapsed if it had to wait until October for the LegCo session to resume.
At the same time, I have explored another avenue through the FEHD as a possible source of funding, similar to what I did with the Education Bureau for the emergency subsidies for my school lunchbox vendors. The most important thing now is "fast, effective" !
And time and time again, I have been urging landlords to reduce or even waive rents to help our catering industry at this very difficult time. For landlords to keep their tenants is mutually beneficial in the long term, I request for their mercy not to seize shops, cut-off utilities, and let our catering industry a way out to survive.
