footbridge landing long time ago, why does it still take so long to remedy the situation?
DR. ELSIE TU (in English): Mr. Chairman, I think the situation is very unsatisfactory. I don't know when the department found out about this but I was only informed when the market was almost finished. I have been asking questions ever since but I have not yet been able to discover just exactly when it was discovered the utilities were standing in the way under the footbridge. I know that the department is very concerned and I presume that they will also inform the Committee at the later stage but I will ask about and inform Mr. LEE.
