Relationship between the Executive Authorities and the Legislature
108. A good relationship between the Executive Authorities and the Legislature is conducive to smooth governance, high efficiency in policy implementation and a harmonious society. In the next five years, to take forward the major reforms and projects I have proposed, we need strong support from all Honourable Members. The HKSAR Government is determined to work closely with this Council. We will seek Members' views as early as practicable when formulating important government policies. Following the further expansion of the Accountability System, all Directors and Deputy Directors of Bureaux will attend the Panel meetings of this Council to explain government policies and answer questions raised by the Members. I am convinced that as long as both the Executive Authorities and the Legislative Council take into account public opinion in performing their functions, they will establish a harmonious and constructive relationship.
