“I look forward to meeting with newly appointed MNIT Commissioner, Tarek Tomes, within the week to discuss the support he needs to reform this beleaguered agency with a serious history of numerous failures. It is a daunting task he has in front of him. We know the status quo cannot continue and I hope Mr. Tomes will welcome the Senate reform proposals as a part of the conversation going forward.  

“I also wish the best to Acting Commissioner Bill Poirier and thank him for working with us to try to create accountability and transparency within MNIT.”
