Former Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer is facing charges of drunk driving and cocaine possession.
Mr. Jaffer, husband of Tory MP Helena Geurgis, was arrested just after midnight last Thursday night by Ontario Provincial Police in Palgrave, north of Toronto.
He has been charged with driving while over the legal blood-alcohol limit, and with possession of cocaine.
His licence has been suspended for 90 days and he is to appear in court in Orangeville, Ont., on Oct. 19.
Mr. Jaffer, 37, was MP for the riding of Edmonton-Strathcona before a surprise defeat in last year's election.
