But during its own investigation, CBC says, it uncovered "serious issues of concern" with Spencer's investigation. "Spencer determined that there had not been any inappropriate conduct in the CBC workplace by Ghomeshi," the statement says. "Spencer's conduct was fundamentally incompatible with continued employment," the broadcaster maintains. In its statement of defence filed this month, the CBC faults Spencer's investigation into Ghomeshi's conduct. That conduct, the lawsuit alleges, includes "scapegoating and sacrificing Spencer … in order to address the fallout and damage to the CBC's reputation from the Ghomeshi affair."
