1On November 29, 2013, I sentenced Mr. Durette to a period of imprisonment and ordered forfeit $730.00 cash money, a cell phone and a 2005 GMC Safari motor vehicle pursuant to s. 16 of the CDSA. The offender contested only the forfeiture of his vehicle. At that time, I indicated that formal reason for that specific disposition would follow in due course. These are those reasons.

2I find the circumstances in the instant case to be virtually identical to those prevailing in R.v. Gagnon, 2009 QCCA 1667 which I find to be persuasive. In the result, Mr. Durette’s vehicle was ordered forfeit.
