The man from Fort Providence faces two counts of trafficking a controlled substance, two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition without licence, and possession of a firearm while knowing possession is unauthorized.
