The offender and her husband were both charged, but the offender's guilty pleas related to only some of the drugs, specifically 195.7 grams of cocaine and 59 fentanyl pills found in the laundry room.  The other items found in the residence were said to form part of the circumstances of the offence generally, but not the circumstances specifically relating to the offences for which the offender had entered guilty pleas.  The sentencing judge described the circumstances as reflecting mid‑level trafficking and noted that, as such, the ranges set out in Smith were of limited assistance, since they relate to street‑level trafficking.  Aggravating factors included the fact that the parties were operating a continuing mid‑level operation indicative of premeditation, sophistication and planning with a profit motive, and that their two young children were present in the home.  Mitigating factors included the guilty plea and the offender's expression of regret and willingness to get treatment.

The sentencing judge found the offender was trafficking at a distributor level and not just a street level.  He found that given the large quantity of potentially lethal drugs involved, it did not really matter what the offender's specific role was in the distribution scheme.  He also observed that the weight of authority is that the Smith sentencing regime does not apply to offences that occurred in July or August 2015 and that, in any event, the sheer quantity of the fentanyl involved rendered those ranges either completely inapplicable or militated in favour of their highest maximums.  The primary mitigating factor was that the offender was a first‑time offender with no previous record.  The sentencing judge noted he was relatively youthful at 23 years old at the time of the offence.  He had a wide circle of family and friends who were supportive of him and who would assist him with obtaining employment and staying on the right path.

The amount of heroin involved was 58.3 grams and it was laced with fentanyl.  The offender was 24 years old at the time of the offence, and 26 years old at the time of sentencing.  She had a difficult childhood, was diagnosed with ADHD, and dropped out of school in Grade 11.  At the time of the offence, she was addicted to crystal meth and was a street‑level drug dealer.  She had no prior criminal record.  The offender stopped using drugs following her arrest.  At the time of the sentencing she had been clean for over a year.  She attended a 90‑day residential treatment program for her addiction and her addiction counsellor reported that she actively participated, was fully compliant, and took full responsibility for her actions during her addiction.  The addiction counsellor believed a custodial sentence would be an obstacle to her continued progress in re-adjusting to healthy living.  The offender was also participating in cognitive behavioural therapy for relapse prevention.  She was an active participant in Narcotics Anonymous.  Many of her friends, counsellors, and fellow participants in Narcotics Anonymous attended the hearing.  Many provided letters of support, with some specifically noting she had expressed remorse.  She expressed remorse in the courtroom.  Justice Pearlman noted that because the offence was committed in December 2014, the Voong sentencing range of six to 18 months, absent exceptional circumstances, applied.  He found the offender's significant and continuing efforts towards rehabilitation, which were verified by her clinicians, counsellors, and the sponsor, amounted to exceptional circumstances.  He concluded a prison sentence would likely expose her to persons in the drug trade and would do more harm than good.  In these particular circumstances, he imposed a suspended sentence with a three‑year term of probation."[https://canlii.ca/t/hwm49#par54] {{FindOthers|}} {{keywords|}} }}
