CRA won’t renew contracts for more than 1,000 term workers, union says

  • The Canada Revenue Agency plans to let the agreements of over 1,000 temporary employees expire on May 16, 2025, without extending their contracts.
  • This decision follows ongoing efforts to reduce government spending and builds on previous staff cuts introduced under the last administration.
  • The Union of Taxation Employees reports that affected workers have been notified and warns that reduced staffing may increase wait times and taxpayer frustrations.
  • Union president Marc Brière called the move "insensitive" and described the cuts as a "direct attack on public services," urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to halt them immediately.
  • Prime Minister Carney has pledged to cap public service employment and review productivity, but the union's criticism suggests tensions over these staffing changes remain unresolved.
