The Canada Revenue Agency has gotten rid of 120 employees who the agency said took advantage of the Canada emergency response benefit (CERB) during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a CRA statement issued Friday morning, an internal review launched to identity any CRA employees who inappropriately claimed the benefit while employed at the department turned up 600 suspect cases. 

“Out of the approximately 600 cases, we can report that 120 individuals are no longer with the CRA as a result of this internal review,” the statement said. “The investigations and disciplinary processes continue.”
