‘Serious Human Consequences’: CRA to Slash Hundreds of Jobs in May

What’s going on at the CRA?

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) isn’t planning to renew the contracts of more than 1,000 employees on May 16.

“These cuts have serious human and social consequences. Behind each contract that is not renewed is a person, a family, a life situation that is turned upside down,” Marc Brière, the national president of the Union of Taxation Employees, said in a news release.

“It’s not just positions that are being eliminated. It is means of subsistence that are being crushed. These are communities that are being weakened.”

2025 has already seen substantial job cuts at the CRA. Approximately 450 positions were axed at the end of March.
