commitment to investing in the middle class, and creating
"real change" for workers and their families. With an
election looming in October of this year, the Government released
its Budget 2019, on March 19, 2019, titled "Investing in the
Middle Class". Budget 2019 proposes, among other items, a
number of employment related changes, focussed on supporting and
engaging the middle class workforce.

Benefit. What exactly have they proposed?
- A non-taxable training credit to help
cover the cost of training fees for eligible workers between the
ages of 25 and 64
