Does the usual commutation relations, e.g. between position and momentum, remains valid in relativistic quantum mechanics?

As far as I'm aware, there's no such thing as a time operator in field theory. My understanding was that, for field theory, they demoted position to a parameter like time, and promoted the wave equation to the status of an operator.
