Premier Considers NDP Proposal


The Premier is giving support to the idea of keeping tips left for restaurant staff out of the hands of managers or owners.

New Democrat Michael Prue has introduced a private members' bill to outlaw the practice called tip outs.

The government was initially cool to the idea, but McGuinty says no customers who leave a tip expect the owners to take a percentage.

He's asking the Labour Minister to take a close look at the NDP bill.
