Reporters asked Kenney his opinion on the overview released by Smith which left the premier puzzled.."I don't know what you're talking about. Today. I am looking at the detailed outline that was published for the sovereignty act by a far right special interest group a year ago. That's the one I've been commenting on now for a year," Kenney said..The premier was recently accused of interfering in the UCP leadership race with his comments towards the act, however, Kenney claims he is talking about another act and not the one just released by Smith..“If Danielle is victorious on October 6, she plans on reaching out to the premier and discussing how they can work together to unite the party," Altheim said.."Smith is hopeful that he will use his energies to leave a lasting legacy of unity rather than one of division. She sincerely thinks he still has a lot to offer in that regard.”
