The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has fired 232 workers for “inappropriately” benefiting from the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) program, according to reports.
The CERB program provided eligible Canadians $2,000 for a four-week period, between March 15 and Sept. 26, 2020.
The CRA also fired workers in 2023 for this violation. By December 2023, 185 workers had already been fired for this act, according to The Canadian Press.
