More of a set of bullet points than an actual "plan."

Financial incentives, not penalties, to help consumers afford things like more energy efficient appliances, electric cars, and better home insulation.

Great - details, please. What kind of incentives, and at what stage of the buying process will they be applied?

Canada’s biggest emitters will contribute their fair share

Does this mean the existing carbon tax on industry will remain in place, or...something else?

Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.

Meaninglessly vague without details.

Ensuring fairness for Canadian industries on the global stage, and better integrate with allies in the fight against climate change.

Word salad.

There is lots more detail in the full news release link at the bottom of the page. It's going a bit over my head right now though.

The information here is probably the details that are being looked for. I do think having both is good, and the electorate will fall asleep when only presented with the nitty-gritty, so they need the vague plans and slogans.
