Deputy Assistant Commissioners (DAC) play an important role in supporting both operational delivery and corporate objectives of a headquarters branch. They share the mandate, delegated authority, and accountability with the Assistant Commissioner responsible for the given branch. As a DAC with the CRA, in addition to contributing to the overall management of a branch, you may also lead and oversee CRA-wide major projects or initiatives linked to a specific branch, or lead a CRA program/project with the goal to build and sustain a digital world-class tax and benefit administration that is trusted, fair and helpful, by putting people first.
