A former Manitoba Member of Parliament is facing additional gun charges after police discovered a large cache of weapons and explosives at his residence. Inky Mark, who served in the House of Commons for five terms representing Dauphin-Swan River, is now charged with 26 new offenses in addition to the twelve he faced in July following a raid on his home.

The charges include weapons trafficking, possession of a prohibited weapon, and possessing over six kilograms of explosives.

He was rearrested on August 12 and has since been released on an undertaking.
