The appellant appealed a ten-month sentence imposed for various breach offences, impaired driving, possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime.

The appellant, a second-time offender, continued to consume and sell marijuana while on bail and later while subject to a conditional sentence order.

The Court of Appeal found the sentence was not unfit given the appellant's unrepentant actions and failure to seek treatment previously.

The appeal was dismissed.

The appellant appealed a conditional sentence of two years less a day.

The Crown conceded that the length of the sentence was manifestly excessive in the circumstances.

The Court of Appeal accepted the concession and reduced the conditional sentence to twelve months.
