Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus says he wants police to take harassment and threatening behaviour complaints seriously after charges against a man accused of uttering death threats against him and his staff were thrown out due to evidence being lost.
The New Democrat MP said he had been subpoenaed to testify at the trial in Kirkland Lake, Ont., last week when he received a call cancelling his appearance.
In a court recording obtained by CBC, the Crown prosecutor told Justice Joseph Gilbert Raoul Maille that the evidence had gone missing.
