The court dismissed an application to quash a committal for trial, finding that a large quantity of marijuana and a firearm provided sufficient circumstantial evidence of an intent to traffic.
The applicant sought an order quashing his committal for trial on a charge of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking, arguing there was no evidence of trafficking intent.
The Crown relied on circumstantial evidence, including the large quantity of marijuana (232 grams) and the presence of a firearm in the same unit.
The court found that the preliminary inquiry judge reasonably inferred trafficking intent from the combination of the large quantity of marijuana and the firearm, providing a proper evidentiary basis for committal.
The application to quash the committal was dismissed.
