The offender, Narankar Dhillon, was convicted of trafficking 101 grams of heroin.
At the sentencing hearing, the court considered the severe impact of heroin trafficking, the offender's lack of a prior criminal record, his age (53), and 1200 days of pre-trial custody, including 309 days in lockdown.
The Crown sought an eight-year global sentence, while the defence proposed six years.
The court determined a global range of six to nine years for less than half a kilogram of heroin.
After applying a 1.5:1 credit for pre-trial custody (1800 days) and an enhanced credit of 90 days for lockdown conditions, the offender was sentenced to a global term of seven years imprisonment, resulting in a further one year and ten months in custody.
Ancillary orders for a DNA sample, forfeiture, and a ten-year weapons prohibition were also issued.
