The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says it expects a new collective agreement can be reached with its unionized workers through compromise on both sides before a potential strike affects tax season.

In a statement issued April 7, CRA said it is “committed to pursuing meaningful negotiations” with the Public Service Alliance of Canada-Union of Taxation Employees (PSAC-UTE) and is “confident” a deal can be negotiated even though it recognizes employees’ right to strike.
