    Proposed amemdments to harbour protection laws / GPS network disruptions in Hong Kong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about developments surrounding the harbourfront.

    In her weekly blog, the Secretary for Development, Bernadette Linn, said she expected promenades along the harbour to span 29 km in total length by the end of this year, with the hope of reaching 34 km by 2028.
    The minister's comments came after the government gazetted the Protection of the Harbour (Amendment) Bill, to streamline the procedure for small-scale reclamations, for facilities such as piers and viewing decks.
    A "presumption against reclamation" would still exist for large-scale developments.
    After 9:45, we're talking about reports of GPS network disruptions having an impact on Hong Kong users over the weekend.

    Canada's tightening of immigration policies/ Financial Secretary Paul Chan's Saudi Arabia visit / Sotheby's duct-taped banana exhibit

    主持人:Andrew Work and Rainbow Leung

    On Friday’s Backchat, Global Focus talks about Canada’s tightening immigration policies.

    The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to lower the country’s immigration targets by up to 20 %, in a move it says will stabilise the housing and job markets.
    The projected number of foreigners granted permanent residency will be cut from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025 while the issuance of student visas will be capped further.
    As a result of this new policy, the country’s population could shrink by 0.2 percent in the next two years and reduce the housing supply gap by around 670,000 units according to the government.
    Critics see this move as a way for the incumbent Liberal administration to gain the hearts and minds of Conservative voters ahead of next year’s elections, where immigration is expected to be a determining factor.
    At 9:30, we be discuss the highlights of Financial Secretary Paul Chan’s visit to Saudi Arabia.
    After 9:45, we learn more about a viral duct taped banana sold by Sotheby’s at an estimate of US$ 1.5 million.
