Suzanne Tremblay (born January 24, 1937) is a politician from Quebec, Canada, and member of the Bloc Québécois, a federal political party that promotes the independence of Quebec from Canada.
Born in Montreal, Ms. Tremblay received the "Queen Elizabeth Scholarship" to attend Tufts University where she earned a Master's degree in preschool education. Following that, she completed a certificate in educational studies at the Université de Lyon and a certificate in child 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 the 2000 election in 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 Jean Charest's legal first name was "John" in an attempt to discredit him. Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe distanced himself from those remarks.
On October 24th, 2004, she lost her bid for election in the municipality of Bic to an unknown political figure who is a local farmer and a trucker.
