MLA should leave ride-hailing committee because his dad is a taxi driver: B.C. Liberals


Liberals are calling for an NDP MLA to resign from an all-party committee reviewing ride hailing for the province because his dad holds a taxi licence. "You are making recommendations to the minister that could directly impact taxi licences and the prices of those taxi licences, which would mean his father's taxi licence,'' Johal said. Jas Johal said Wednesday that Ravi Kahlon should quit the select standing committee on Crown corporations, which is currently holding meetings and accepting submissions from representatives from the taxi and ride-hailing industries. NDP MLA Ravi Kahlon said his father has held a taxi driver's licence in the provincial capital for 30 years, but plans to retire this year. (Jonathan Hayward/Canadian Press)Adam Olsen, the Green party's committee representative, also said he did not know Kahlon's father held a taxi licence.
