It's my understanding that the department actually looked at investigating the possibilities of winter roads from Repulse and Taloyoak. In their investigations as to the costs and cost-benefit analysis that would be accrued by doing this, it was determined that the most appropriate, cost-effective course of action was what we're currently doing. That is, trying to resupply Pelly Bay with ships, which wasn't done in the past.

There was some research done, but it was determined through the investigations the most cost-effective way was the utilization of ship directly into Pelly Bay.
