CRA said such previous consultations have helped in making several service improvements.

that his office was “keeping a close eye” on how to better address CRA call volumes.

“We are aware that these contact centres are experiencing a high number of calls and have been unable to meet call demand,” Boileau said. “The CRA has assured us that it is taking steps to address this issue.”

The CRA said it will publish the overall findings from the consultations next spring.
