OTTAWA — Former CBC television reporter and anchor Travis Dhanraj told a House of Commons committee Tuesday that the public broadcaster "silenced and intimidated" him. Later that year, he filed a human rights complaint against the Crown corporation alleging discrimination on the basis of race, colour and disability, which is ongoing. "We have replied to the bulk of these claims in a robust and detailed response filed with the Human Rights Commission, which is the proper venue for these complaints," he said. "While we are limited in what we can say due to privacy and confidentiality considerations, CBC categorically rejects Mr. Dhanraj’s accusations about CBC News, our journalists and management." Others spoke about the CBC and its place in the Canadian media landscape.
