Speaking to reporters in Montreal on Thursday, Singh criticized both the Liberals and the Conservatives over their approaches to fighting climate change. "And so we've been working on a plan, and we'll be releasing our plan, our vision for how we can do that in a stronger way, in the coming months."Singh's noncommittal position on the carbon tax comes as the NDP tries frame itself as a credible alternative to the Conservatives in the next federal election.
