Human Resources And Skills Development Canada: Canada Revenue Agency

The Public Service Alliance Of Canada PSAC Dept: Human Resources and Skills Development Canada is the hardest hit in the latest announcements, with a total of 2,055 employees given notices, according to the two largest unions representing them, according to CBC. According to the Public Service Alliance of Canada PSAC and the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada PIPSC , workers at more than a dozen departments and agencies were given the news today. This is the latest in a series of announcements that have been trickling out since March when the government said 19,200 positions will eventually be eliminated over the next three years in order to save $5.2 billion and more than 5,000 federal public servants were told today that their jobs are at risk of being eliminated and the unions say there is no doubt services to Canadians will be affected as a result. The Canada Revenue Agency also had a big number, informing 1,212 employees they could lose their jobs. It was the first time it had given notices to any employees and hundreds of its auditors are being affected. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
