Probably because their recent implementation of a Java interface doesn't work properly. Ever since the change last month, if you search for tax slips or even RRSP contribution room, the page would come back with blank content, except for the side and top menus. The only way to "fix" it is to click to another page via the menu and try to access the page you're trying to get again, hoping this time it'll load properly. This happens in all browsers.

there's something more serious here:

They just took the website down which suggests that that their was a possibility that the information you sent in previously was compromised.

However, if thinking you filed weeks ago means you are unaffected helps you to sleep at night, continue to believe that.
