CBC to hire company to investigate in wake of Ghomeshi affair

The CBC says it is hiring a third-party company to conduct an investigation in the wake of allegations against former “Q” radio host Jian Ghomeshi.

A memo from the CBC’s Heather Conway says the move follows “accounts of impropriety towards (CBC) employees.”

Reports in the Toronto Star and on CBC have outlined allegations from women who say they experienced “abusive behaviour” from Ghomeshi.

The CBC says the reports are “extremely disturbing and of great concern.”

The memo says the public broadcaster is in the process of selecting a company to “conduct a rigorous, independent investigation beyond what’s already been done.”

It also says CBC is making counsellors available to employees.

In a Facebook post Thursday, Ghomeshi said he intends to meet the allegations against him head-on.
