mr. morris, if you want, you can use this opportunity to speak in favor of the project. >> this is not your rebuttal. you'll just be speaking in favor of the project. >>> i won't take a lot of your time. i'd just like to hit on a few of the issues that have been raised. again, it is not the intent here to do tic or luxury housing. it is to bring back thea renters or keep them in place, actually during construction. the setbacks are more than are needed in order to keep the building largely invisible from the street, certainly. and the rear setback is essentially larger than our adjacent neighbor. we think it is sufficient to do the job. we do have another alternative we could show during rebuttal period that could open that up further for mr. low and views from the informal structure he has on the back of his property. i also want to emphasize the substantial benefit of the scope of work for all the tenants in terms of doing seismic work, sprinklers, insulation, new windows. i think i'll leave it at that. thank you. >> thank you. now, dr requestor, you have a two-minute rebuttal. >>> thank

mr. morris, could you answer a question for me, please? we have a family with three children, i heard. there is no possibility that you shift people within construction from one side to the other because it will be very difficult for people to stay in the neighborhood with language problems, et cetera, and just being moved around until at some magic date this building is ready. have you thought that through? this commission is very concerned about that. >>> we just had conversation with the contractor about the feasibility of that and we think it is possible. [speaker not understood]. >> during construction. >> i have lived in buildings where there is construction and you might have to go through a dusty corridor, but it's kind of like cordoned off and you can still live there. i am concerned the opportunity be created knowing how difficult it is for people to stay in the neighborhood or even find something remotely similar to fit their needs. and i think that is a very important consideration which we would like to -- for you to consider. i don't think we can make that a part of the c

mr. james morris. >> i am sure that the prime minister will wish to add his condolences to the family and friends of christina edkins, who was murdered on a bus to school in my constituency last morning. the government have rightly introduced minimum custodial sentences for people convicted of threatening someone with a knife, but does the prime minister agree that it is time to introduce a legal assumption that people carrying a knife intend to use it and should attract a prison sentence, so that we can redouble our efforts to rid our communities of the scourge of knives? >> hear, hear. >> i think that my honorable friend speaks for the whole house and, indeed, the whole country on the absolute revulsion at this horrific crime. i know that the whole house will sincere condolences to christina edkins's family. we take knife crime extremely seriously, which is why, as my honorable friend has said, we changed the law so that any adult who commits a crime with a knife can expect to be sent to prison, and for a serious offence, they should expect a very log sentence. i will happily look at wh
