What’s going on at the CRA?

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has informed 450 of its term employees that their contracts won’t be renewed at the end of March.

Spokesperson Etienne Biram told The Canadian Press that the agency regularly reviews its financial resources to “ensure sustainable operations and alignment with government priorities.”

The update comes after the CRA said in November that was restricting certain hiring activities, freezing “non-critical” overtime, and eliminating the agreements of approximately 600 temporary workers.
