AI Summary (NQ-processed)
As Taiwan's prototype indigenous submarine, the Hai Kun, undergoes sea trials, KMT legislator Ma Wen-chun has proposed a full freeze on this year's budget for follow-on submarines. On the 21st in the Legislative Yuan, Defense Minister Wellington Koo stated that the builder, CSBC Corporation, is already procuring materials for the follow-on ships. He hopes the condition for unfreezing the budget will be the Hai Kun's successful completion of sea trials, which would relieve financial pressure on CSBC. With no consensus reached between the ruling and opposition parties, the matter will be sent to cross-party negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: 國民黨立委為何要凍結潛艦後續艦預算？
- A: 國民黨立委馬文君認為，潛艦是高風險、高技術、高成本的裝備，原型艦海鯤艦尚未通過基本海測，為避免將原型艦的錯誤複製到後續艦，因此主張全數凍結預算，待海鯤艦完成海測並向立法院專案報告後，經同意才能動支。
- Q: 國防部長顧立雄對預算凍結的立場是什麼？
- A: 國防部長顧立雄希望潛艦後續艦的預算解凍條件能比照去年，只要原型艦海鯤艦通過海測即可動支。他解釋，承造的台船公司已開始為後續艦備料並進行貸款，此舉能有效解除台船的財務壓力。
- Q: 民進黨立委王定宇的看法為何？
- A: 民進黨立委王定宇支持以「海測通過」作為解凍條件。他認為這能兼顧立委監督、維持國際供應商（紅區裝備供應商）的信心，並保障造艦人員的工作與士氣，達到三方平衡。
- Q: 此次涉及的預算金額是多少？
- A: 此次爭議的預算是海軍司令部編列的「潛艦國造－第3階段後續艦籌建」，金額為新台幣119億5000萬元。
- Q: 預算案的最終處理結果是什麼？
- A: 由於國民黨與民進黨立委對於預算解凍的方式未達成共識，因此全案被保留，將送交朝野協商處理。
