James D. M. Clark, for the respondent



Heard and released orally: January 17, 2011

ENDORSEMENT



[1]

We 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.

[2]

The sentencing judge did consider the appellants guilty plea as
    indicative of remorse in her determination of the sentence she imposed and was
    entitled to balance it against the appellants failure to appreciate the
    potential harm created by the distribution of these substances.

[3]

Leave to appeal is granted, but the appeal is dismissed.
