The offender pleaded guilty to trafficking in over one kilogram of cocaine.
Sentencing was delayed for eight months on compassionate grounds to allow the offender to care for his terminally ill mother.
The Crown sought a four-year sentence, while the defence sought three years based on the principle of restraint and the offender's lack of a recent criminal record.
The court weighed the significant quantity of drugs and commercial nature of the enterprise against the offender's guilty plea, remorse, and strong rehabilitation prospects.
The court imposed a sentence of four years imprisonment, finding it appropriate and below the usual range for such offences.
