The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) had fired nearly 300 employees for inappropriately claiming payments from the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).
As of June 17, 2024, the government agency has found 289 employees who received CERB payments when they were ineligible, according to a report from CTV News.
“Anyone who is found to be ineligible for the CERB, including CRA employees who inappropriately applied for and received it, will be required to repay the amounts if they haven’t already done so,” said Charles Drouin, CRA spokesperson, according to the report.
