Thank heavens for little Hansard editors

They tidy things up in the most delightful ways. What Ross Wiseman said in the House yesterday:
What I find very ironic, Mr. Speaker, is the persistence by not only the Leader of the Opposition but the Government House Leader in the continuous questions in this House, bringing into question a decision that we made about a location of a service in Grand Falls-Windsor. An attack, I say, Mr. Speaker, it is nothing more than an attack on the people of Grand Falls-Windsor and the people of Central Newfoundland and Labrador, as if it is a place no one would want to work.
What Hansard said he said:

Alas, Hansard left the first part of his apparently unironic answer unaltered:
Again I am somewhat bewildered by the nature of the questions and the persistence, Mr. Speaker, of members opposite.
