CRA call centre employees vulnerable to job cuts under Carney’s cost-savings plan, union says
July 16, 2025
The union representing Canada Revenue Agency employees is warning that Ottawa’s push for cost savings will disproportionately affect the employment of call centre workers, resulting in poorer service for Canadian taxpayers.
Since May, 2024, the CRA has reduced its work force by more than 10 per cent, shedding more than 8,000 jobs, many of which were contract workers at call centres across the country.

From its earliest days, the Avon River has been the heart of the community of Stratford, Ont. The centrepiece of the river, known as Lake Victoria, was created in the 1830s as a millpond for industry. The parks board later convinced the city to invest in horse-drawn scoops to dredge the lake. Locals warded off railroad proposals along the shorelines, where roses from Queen Mary were planted. A pair of swans from Queen Elizabeth arrived in 1967.
