/ Staff writer, with CNAThe legislature yesterday passed the government’s general budget proposal for fiscal year 2017, after cutting it to NT$1.97 trillion (US$62.3 billion).During the two-week extraordinary session, opposition lawmakers put forward about 500 proposals for budget cuts, but the number was reduced to 63 during cross-caucus negotiations that were chaired by Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全).Lawmakers settled on a budget of NT$1.97 trillion, cutting 1.2 percent from the government’s proposed NT$1.99 trillion.The proposed budget has a deficit of NT$132.9 billion and an estimated NT$74 billion for principal payments on government debt, all of which the government said would be covered through loans.At the end of the session, Su commended the party caucuses and legislative staff for their efforts to process major bills, such as amendments to the Long-term Care Services Act (長期照顧服務法) and the Electricity Act (電業法), as well as the budget bill.This was achieved though rational communication, efficiency and order among the caucuses, he said.Su’s performance over the session was praised by New Power Party (NPP) caucus convener Hsu Yung-ming (徐永明).“Swords were drawn over this legislative session and there were even some topics that were not appropriate to handle during a special session, but we support Su’s handling of matters,” Hsu said. “Dealing with the budget, the whole process was relatively smooth.”He expressed regret that his party’s calls for more rigorous pension bonus standards had not won approval, adding that the NPP would support the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) plans for military and economic development.Before the session ended, the legislature, with the DPP’s majority, rejected three budget cut proposals put forward by the KMT caucus, including a proposal to slash the Mainland Affairs Council’s (MAC) budget, which the KMT said was “not thoughtfully planned” and would not improve stagnant relations between Taiwan and China amid a cooling of cross-strait interactions.The KMT said that MAC Minister Katharine Chang (張小月) should be held responsible for the cooling of cross-strait ties since May 20 last year, when President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) took office.The MAC “has obviously misjudged the situation,” the KMT caucus said, adding that the council should outline response strategies within a month and deliver a report about its misjudgement to the legislature’s Internal Administration Committee within two months.However, the budget cut proposals and the request for the MAC to submit a report were voted down by DPP legislators.The DPP controls 68 of the 113 seats in the Legislative Yuan, while the KMT has 35. The NPP has five and the People First Party has three, while the Non-Partisan Solidarity Alliance and an independent have one seat each.KMT proposals to slash the budget for the Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee and disband the committee were also rejected.The committee was established by the Cabinet in August last year based on the Statute on Handling the Inappropriate Assets of Political Parties and Their Affiliated Organizations (政黨及其附隨組織不當取得財產處理條例). The statute was enacted by the legislature in July last year.According to the regulations, some of the KMT’s property has been frozen pending investigations into party assets.The KMT caucus also proposed cutting the Ministry of Education’s budget, which weighed in during a controversy over a phrase used by Lai He (賴和), the father of Taiwan’s nativist literary movement, that has been cited by the Presidential Office in the spring couplets it plans to give away.The KMT said the ministry’s response amounted to education serving political goals.The next legislative session is to open after the Lunar New Year holiday ends on Feb. 1.Additional reporting by Abraham Gerber新聞來源:TAIPEI TIMES



立法院朝野黨團針對一例一休爭議進行多次協商,終於在今(11)日達成共識,各黨團同意由衛環委員會撤回《勞基法》部分條文修正草案,並於下周召開3天會議重新審查,不過,在立法院門口前進行絕食抗議的勞團,對此完全無法接受,表示將在15日下午二時起,自行舉辦七天國定假日公聽會,並公開邀請工總、商總等大老闆、四個立院黨團代表出席公聽會。

勞團指出,近日朝野協商會議後,總算願意將一例一休法案重新退回委員會審查,不過,立法院只願意舉辦一場公聽會,而且在公聽會中,每個勞工團體僅能派出一名代表,公聽會是否能完整呈現出勞團意見,令人懷疑。

勞團表示,因此在下周三下午二時起,在立法院群賢樓802室,將自行舉辦「民間公聽會」,將廣邀行政機關代表、立法院四黨黨團幹部、工商團體、學界代表、勞工團體以及各個公民團體,共同釐清表達對於「刪除七天國定假日」與「一例一休」《勞基法》修法之討論。

除了將自辦「民間公聽會」外,勞團代表在立法院門口進行絕食行動,已邁入第八天,絕食代表許惟棟、范玉梅,都絕食長達168小時以上,因此勞團決定將進行接力絕食,第二波接力絕食代表,包括新海瓦斯工會副理事長袁照雯、 青年代表蘇承志、桃園市產業總工會秘書長姚光祖,於今日下午2點15分起,正式加入絕食行列。



台灣食安問題不斷,全國教師工會總聯合會與喜願共和國2011年起推動「咱糧學堂」食農教育,中小學老師帶著學生種植小麥等作物,並發展成課程活動,在沒有官方加入號召下,竟然累積500多校參與,是相當成功的向下紮根教育活動。

全教總專業發展中心副執行長殷童娟表示,「咱糧學堂」活動在毫無課程綱要與教學時數的規範下,教師就帶領學生將它與課程結合,譬如生物課就觀察及記錄小麥成長過程;表演藝術課則進行採收前的感謝儀式;家政與餐飲課推動從農地到餐桌的食農教育及創意料理的開發等。殷童娟說,去年台灣天氣變化非常劇烈,許多學校種植的小麥、大豆等都被毀了,努力4個月卻沒有收成,讓學生傷心。不過,有些老師趁此機會引導反思整個種植過程來進行生命教育,學生也從中體驗到農夫的辛苦。台中市樂業國小從3年前開始,在學校操場種水稻及蔬菜,5、6年級學生都要參與,畢業前,每人都會有2次插秧及收割的經驗。「稻田有療癒作用,自閉症的孩子參與耕種後,發病機會降低很多。」樂業國小校長張添琦說,學校有9個普通班、7個特教班,特教班孩子有肢體障礙、智能障礙或自閉症等,他們藉由農作接觸大自然後,身心變得較為健康。高雄市三民國小老師黃文欣,帶著3、4年級學生以盆栽種植黑豆、芝麻等,不用農藥,學生每天要負責澆水、除草。有時候學生會來向他抱怨小鳥把農作物吃掉了,他就回答說,「你種的作物沒有毒,所以連小鳥都願意來吃」。黃文欣說,現在他班上學生吃營養午餐的態度跟以前不同,看到外表不佳的小白菜,不但不嫌棄,還認為是「無毒」的象徵,也更珍惜食物。(中國時報) var _c = new Date().getTime(); document.write('');
