Who is Suzanne Tremblay?
Suzanne Tremblay is a politician from Quebec, Canada, and a member of the Bloc Québécois, a federal political party that promotes the independence of Quebec from Canada.
Born in Montreal, Tremblay received a Queen Elizabeth II Scholarship to attend Tufts University in the United States, where she earned a Master's degree in pre-school education. She then completed a certificate in educational studies at the Université de Lyon and a certificate in child care studies at the University of London.
Tremblay was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1993 federal election for the riding of Rimouski—Témiscouata. She was re-elected in the 1997 election for the riding of Rimouski-Mitis and in the 2000 election for Rimouski-Neigette-et-La Mitis. She announced her intention not to run again in the 2004 federal election. She was occasionally a controversial figure, once pointing out that Quebec Premier Jean Charest's first name was really "John" in an attempt to discredit him as a representative of the "true" Quebec. The Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe distanced himself from this attempt.
On October 24, 2004, Tremblay lost her bid for election in the municipality of Bic to a local farmer and a trucker who had not previously been active in politics.
