The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that a Federal Court has tossed out the results of a workplace harassment complaint at the CRTC, concluding that the investigation was unfair in part because of the chairman's involvement as both witness and judge. The Globe's Christine Dobby writes that the investigation and its aftermath led to Raj Shoan, the former CRTC regional commissioner for Ontario, losing his job when the federal cabinet revoked his appointment in June. He was less than three years into a five-year term as commissioner at the time. In the initial case filed in April, 2015, Mr. Shoan sought a judicial review of chairman Jean-Pierre Blais's decision to accept the results of a third party inquiry that found Mr. Shoan had harassed a CRTC employee through a series of e-mail exchanges. Filings in the case, as well as additional legal challenges that Mr. Shoan has launched against the CRTC, reveal animosity between the two men and provide a glimpse of a working environment that several people at the commission itself described as "toxic." On Friday, the court ruled that there was a denial of procedural fairness and natural justice in the way the harassment investigation was conducted.
