Section 5(3)(a)(i)(D) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, S.C. 1996, c. 19, is unconstitutional and is therefore of no force or effect under s. 52(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982. The sentence of the Court of Appeal is set aside and the sentence of one year of imprisonment imposed by the provincial court judge is restored. Wagner, Gascon and Brown JJ. are dissenting in part.
