The Canada Training Benefit benefit would:
- give workers money to help pay for training
- provide income support during training through the new Employment Insurance (EI) Training Support Benefit, and
- offer job protection so that workers can take time away from work to keep their skills up to date without the fear of losing their jobs
This online engagement process will help identify information gaps, challenges and ideas to better inform the design and delivery of the new EI Training Support Benefit and leave provisions under the Canada Labour Code. Participate in the survey before July 31 with this link.

The Bank of Canada's rate used by mortgage stress tests to determine whether would-be homeowners can qualify has dropped for the first time in three years. The central bank's five-year benchmark qualifying rate is now 5.19 per cent, down from 5.34 per cent. It's the first decrease in the five-year fixed mortgage rate since September 2016, when it dropped from 4.74 per cent to 4.64 per cent, and increased steadily since.
