LIVE: Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj testifies to Parliament against state broadcaster
Dhanraj announced he was “forced” to retire by CBC in 2025 before launching a human rights complaint against the state broadcaster, alleging he experienced discrimination, harassment and bullying as a person of colour.
The former host of CBC's “Canada Tonight” program is shedding a light on issues he faced prior to his “forced” departure in 2025.
A video posted to YouTube last week detailed how Dhanraj is preparing to reveal details surrounding the events leading to his exit from CBC, which saw him launch a human rights complaint alleging he was on the receiving end of discrimination, harassment and bullying as a person of colour.
Dhanraj also claims the network was politically biased, particularly against Conservatives, something he suggested is driving the party's push to defund the taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
Further, he claimed two of CBC's most prominent faces, hosts Rosemary Barton and David Cochrane, personally targeted him for harassment.
“This was not a voluntary decision,” Dhanraj said of his departure from CBC. “It comes after trying to navigate a workplace culture defined by retaliation, exclusion, and psychological harm.”
He is expected to testify before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage around 11 a.m ET (9 a.m. MT).
