The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has confirmed that it fired some employees for previously sharing private taxpayer information in an unauthorized Facebook Messenger group chat, according to recently released federal records.
The CRA said in an Inquiry of Ministry tabled in the Commons on June 9 that an undisclosed number of employees were “disciplined up to, and including, termination of employment” as a result of sharing taxpayer information outside of a secure portal, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
