UCP leadership candidates spar over sovereignty act at conference in Fort McMurray

As provincial affairs reporter Tom Vernon reports, the race is happening because of infighting over the past two years and a new leader will have to unite the caucus and membership – but it may prove to be a bumpy journey.
