Canada Revenue Agency taking biggest hit in latest set of public service job cuts

[Locutus]

OTTAWA — The fourth wave of affected notices being issued Wednesday to thousands of public servants across Canada will hit the tax agency hard along with science and habitat management programs in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, says one large union.
Gary Corbett, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), said he expects more than 1,000 notices will be delivered to his members in a dozen or more departments across the country.


With this wave of notices, more than 4,400 of his union’s membership have received notices that their jobs are disappearing or been put on alert that their jobs would be affected by the $5.2-billion annual spending cuts down the road.
The giant Public Service Alliance of Canada, the largest of the unions, is also braced for “thousands of notices” to be sent to their members.

What a shame. The CRA is certainly the one agency which certainly benifits from the most public sympathy.

The CRA is the Federal government's equivalent of accounts receivable.

Notices will be going to 400 auditors in the areas of criminal investigations, special enforcement and voluntary disclosure programs.

Less oversight means more tax cheaters. I can't see how this cut improves the government's financial situation.

Now they'll just point fingers and you get to prove your case ... to some pee'd-off bureaucrat

Here's a thought.... Simplify the tax code and reduce the overlapping burden(s). Fewer people will have incentive to cheat

But our poor union brothers...:-(

Something like that might make sense,therefore will not interest steve or any of his bobbing heads.

Hmmm, I would have thought the CRA was a cash cow, so they would want to increase the number of workers. Same for, say, those who work at investment immigration.

... hopefully they'll lay off some of the loons working in the cra criminal warfare division ...

... canada revenue agency employs people for the sole purpose of engaging in hardcore criminal activity which includes bank and brokerage account robberies, stalking and harassment ...

... some of them should be thrown in jail ...

It has been shown time after time that increasing auditors increases monies for the Crown.
