Court convicts defendant for driving under influence of cannabis, applying lenient law and ignoring prior conviction due to statute of limitations.

The court found the defendant guilty of driving under the influence of cannabis and sentenced him to ten months of restricted liberty with a five-year ban on operating vehicles. The prosecution argued for a heavier penalty citing a prior conviction, but the court determined that the previous sentence had been extinguished by the statute of limitations under the new law. Consequently, the court applied the more lenient version of the Criminal Code effective at the time of the trial rather than the law at the time of the offense.
