Canada's CRA plans to lay off about 600 temporary workers by mid-December to cut costs.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) plans to lay off about 600 temporary workers, mainly debt collectors, by mid-December. This move, aimed at reducing pandemic-era staffing levels and focusing on tax filing, is part of the government's effort to cut $15 billion in public spending over four years. The CRA assures that no permanent jobs will be affected in the near future, despite the union's concerns about the financial impact of these layoffs.
