Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to know whether the harbour enhancement at Pelly Bay is part of this new resupply scheme that is being undertaken for some of the communities that have no other access than by air. Pelly Bay was one of them but now it has access by the sea for sea-lift. I wonder if this is in connection with the sea-lift or is it something else, Mr. Chairman. I recall being in Pelly Bay and speaking to the Member about this, along with other communities that are coastal in nature where there is no real harbour for parking boats, schooners and stuff like that that people so depend on. In many places I've seen boats just pulled up on the beach on the rocks and they receive a beating from the waves and stuff. The community has asked, in some places, that they clear away the rocks in order for the boats to sit on a softer bottom than rocks. Is this part of that kind of enhancement? Is it including small boats, those kinds of things, or is it merely for the larger ships and off-loading stuff?
