Important Promises

Giroux wouldn't prioritize any of his top 10 first 150 day election promises.   

"They are all important that’s why I have them all in there because every one of them will bring something to Nipissing so therefore that’s why I chose the 10 that I felt that Nipissing needed right now and that I will try in 150 days to make sure that I implement all those commitments that I have," said Giroux.
