Janice Rubin leads CBC probe of Ghomeshi affair

Janice Rubin
Employment lawyer Janice Rubin will lead the outside investigation into the background of the Jian Ghomeshi situation at the CBC. Ms. Rubin is a founder of the Toronto firm of Rubin Tomlinson where her partner is Christine Tomlinson. The parameters of the probe were not published but the executive vice-president of the CBC, Heather Conway, wrote to staff saying Rubin would begin her work immediately. Conway urged anyone who worked on “Q” or an earlier Ghomeshi show — “Play” — to contact Rubin with any complaints, concerns or experiences involving harassment, discrimination, violence or other inappropriate workplace conduct.
