It’s not a bureaucracy, it’s a crime family;
Revenue Commissioner Bob Hamilton misled MPs in under-reporting the number of Canada Revenue Agency employees implicated in fraudulent claims for pandemic benefits. Hamilton claimed there were “not very many, obviously,” though the Agency now confirms hundreds are under investigation: “I’m afraid ‘not very many’ is not a sufficient answer.’”
Better grab while the grabbing is good because the whole thing’s going to collapse any day now.
Funny, I think the same thing myself. I used to try and look out for abuse of government funds, but now I say just grab what you can get. It will be all over soon. Let the new immigrant start to pay now.
And where are the criminal charges? Will the government seize their bank accounts?
Just in case those weren’t rhetorical, Art… 1) They’ll skate and 2) HECK NO!!
Only 600???
The spokesperson said the agency is investigating a “very limited number” of employees — about 600 or less than one per cent of the CRA’s more than 60,000-person workforce.

Help me with my math. 600 is less than 1% of 60,000. Is this the new math?
Speaking of criminals. Cocaine found in the White House. Who had that for a headline?
Get ready for the ‘that ain’t mine’ defense.
All good little LPC donors no doubt.
This is tradition.
Set a thief to catch a thief.
Except as taxation levels now exceed 50% of productive citizens income,the thief seems confused..
A kleptocracy dies this way.
More and more fools and bandits,writing laws to protect their thieving ways..
Until “Suddenly” there are no more producers to rob.
The battles over these ever diminishing pools of wealth,will become ever more savage as the returns shrink.
Tradition.
We used to hang Highwaymen at crossroads,letting the crows grow fat on their remains..As they hung around ,acting as a warning to the rest of their kind.
When “Government” imposes taxes,to encourage use of nonexistent ‘alternatives’..
Is this fraud?
Or treason?
When the taxes are over 50-%, it’s not an income, it’s an allowance.
It would seem that as more and more truth and realities slowly emerge, we are finding that Governments, politicians, and all their minions are not really there for the benefit of the people they rule over, but are really a very large…. gigantic, crime syndicate, designed to fleece the citizens of their incomes to feather their own nests.
Gee, who would have ever thunk that eh!
Robespierre oh Robespierre!
Wherefore art thou?
Bilingual revolution.
Okay, lets get real. Back in 2020, when these benefits were being distributed, all T4’s for 2020 had four extra boxes reporting employee income from 15th Marc to 26th September. Those were supposed to allow CRA to start checking out if taxpayers had claimed CERB benefits (reported on either a T4A or a T4E) while still working. So now you’re telling me CRA is still “investigating” some of their employees? It should have been a no-brainer: have employment income in those periods while claiming CERB and a taxpayer has to explain why.
