Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Canadian Pacific Railway Company v Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Maintenance of Way Employees Division, 2017 CanLII 5291 (CA LA):

17. An obligation to investigate does not mean an outside investigator must always conduct harassment investigations. Indeed, using a third party investigator does not guarantee they will have an open, as opposed to closed, mind: Shoan v. Canada (Attorney General), 2016 FC 1003.
