Federal Conservative leader Andrew Scheer says he will finally detail his party's plan to fight climate change by the summer's start.
Scheer made the promise while addressing supporters in Victoriaville Saturday afternoon. He says the party will present its plan to tackle climate change before the current parliamentary session comes to an end in late June.
In his speech, however, Scheer remained mum on his plan, saying only that it "will address the environmental challenges of the 21st Century."
The Tories have been among the loudest critics of the federal government's national carbon-pricing scheme since it was introduced by the Trudeau Government, but many have roundly criticized the Conservatives for failing to present any alternative plan to deal with climate change.
Scheer told the Canadian Press that he plans to focus on incentives for individuals, as well as "recognizing Canada's leadership on clean energy." He added that he has decided he will unveil his climate-change action plan in Quebec.
"And I can tell you that our plan will not be about taxing Canadians more," he added.
The federal Conservatives and many right-leaning Premiers across the country have frequently claimed that carbon-pricing is a tax-grab by Ottawa. In reality, the scheme is revenue-neutral and federal income from carbon-pricing is returned to households by cheque.
