Feldman, Rouleau and Watt JJ.A.
BETWEEN
Her Majesty the Queen
Respondent
and
Leila Paper
Appellant
Counsel: Leila Paper, in person and Russell Silverstein, duty counsel James D. M. Clark, for the respondent
Heard and released orally: January 17, 2011
On appeal from the sentence imposed by Justice B. Brown of the Ontario Court of Justice, dated March 12, 2011.
ENDORSEMENT
1We are not persuaded that the sentencing judge erred in principle in the sentence she imposed. This was a commercial operation with a wide variety of controlled substances available for purchase and sale.
2The sentencing judge did consider the appellant’s guilty plea as indicative of remorse in her determination of the sentence she imposed and was entitled to balance it against the appellant’s failure to appreciate the potential harm created by the distribution of these substances.
3Leave to appeal is granted, but the appeal is dismissed.
"K. Feldman J.A."
"Paul Rouleau J.A."
"David Watt J.A."
