Of those 185 cases, 40 ended in other disciplinary actions, such as suspensions.The remaining cases resulted in "administrative actions" that included an "end of review," since the employee no longer worked for the agency or were found to be a victim of identity theft, the CRA said.
"The CRA employs individuals with a variety of employment profiles, such as temporary and student contracts; as such, some individuals were eligible to receive the CERB," the CRA said.Union says CRA took an 'aggressive approach' "I notice, actually, that not everybody was axed and some received a lesser suspension. So that tells me that the CRA realized that in some cases, did not deserve to lose job for this."
