The published statement also cited current events, including 4,800 wildfires across Canada this year and the displacement of various groups due to climate change.

The communication places the viability of a major national energy project under scrutiny. The letter argued that the government's decision regarding the pipeline and fossil fuel expansion was critical given the global climate breakdown.
