The five-month public consultation on constitutional development has just ended. Can Hong Kong take the giant step forward in democratic development and achieve universal suffrage? Will the common aspiration for electing our Chief Executive by one-person-one-vote in 2017 come true? Have the different sectors of the community and political parties narrowed their differences and come closer to a consensus on this matter? What will happen to our society and governance if people's hope for universal suffrage is not realized and Hong Kong cannot move forward in constitutional development?

The Hon Mrs Carrie Lam, the Chief Secretary for Administration, who leads the Task Force on Constitutional Development, looks forward to sharing her views with you on this subject.

The talk will be conducted in Cantonese. English interpretation upon advance request. Q&A will be in Chinese and English.

五個月的政改公眾諮詢剛剛結束，香港的民主發展可以踏出普選行政長官這一大步嗎？市民可以如願在2017年一人一票選特首嗎？社會各界、各政黨的分歧有缩窄、共識有凝聚嗎？若然市民期望落空、政制發展原地踏步，社會狀況和政府管治會出現甚麼問題呢？

作為領導這次政改諮詢工作小組的政務司司長林鄭月娥，樂意和大家探討以上的課題。
