The Canada Revenue Agency has terminated 330 employees for inappropriately receiving the Canada Emergency Response Benefit during the pandemic, following a review that identified 600 cases.
Of the 600 identified, 185 were not terminated for accessing CERB, but 40 faced disciplinary action, while 135 employees were deemed eligible for the support.
This review began in June 2023 and has enforced repayment of improperly received CERB benefits among terminated employees, indicating a firm stance on misuse.
The CRA's actions highlight a significant internal accountability effort in response to pandemic relief mismanagement, revealing the ongoing scrutiny over pandemic assistance.
