The appellant was convicted of drug trafficking after selling marijuana to an undercover police officer.
The meeting was arranged by a friend of the appellant who was acting as a police informant in exchange for consideration on his own pending charges.
The appellant argued he was entrapped into committing the offence due to persistent phone calls and pressure from his friend.
The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal, finding that the police acted on reasonable suspicion and merely provided an opportunity to commit the offence, without employing tactics that would induce an average person to commit the crime.
