This change would provide more headroom for them to increase prices

But people would notice that immediately. Listed prices don't include the GST/HST.

The other part of the promise is the following:

Singh says an NDP government will pay the tax cut with an excess profit tax paid by very large corporations that hike their profit margins.

So, it's basically in line with the ethos of "tax the rich and feed the poor." I love it.
