An Arctic icebreaker as an amphibious base

Could Canada use an icebreaking amphibious ship with side well decks as a mobile Arctic base?

The idea has precedents in ramp-equipped support ships such as Absalon, although the answer is uncertain about that class's ice capability.

The proposed Canadian Arctic base combines icebreaking with an amphibious ship whose well deck opens at the sides. Ramp-equipped support ships offer a comparison: the Absalon class can lower a ramp to move vehicles off the ship. Ice capability was considered for that class, although the answer recalls, with uncertainty, that it was not adopted. The comparison establishes a related vehicle-access idea without treating Absalon as an existing example of the entire Arctic proposal.
