The provincial NDP wants to help restaurants it says “feel captive” to high delivery fees.
Jobs and the Economy Critic Aleana Young is calling on the Scott Moe government to put a 15 per cent cap on delivery fees charged by third-party platforms.
“I love to support local and I use these apps but I hear from business owners throughout the province that these fees — which are as we know 25 to 30 per cent — take up what are razor-thin margins at the best of times. I think this is a pretty simple, common sense way to help out a struggling industry,” said Young.
