Suzanne Tremblay (born January 24, 1937) is a politician from Quebec, Canada, who served as a Bloc Québécois member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1993 to 2004. 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;〔"Name-calling reaches a new low". ''Financial Post'', May 28, 1997, pg. 14.〕 the Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe distanced himself from this comment. Tremblay also made similar comments attacking Radio-Canada journalist Joyce Napier for not having a francophone name,〔"Non-Quebecois accent sounds ignorant to MP". ''Vancouver Sun'', October 18, 1995.〕 and pop singer Céline Dion for purportedly turning her back on her Québécoise identity in her pursuit of pop stardom.〔"Does Céline like poutine?" ''The Globe and Mail'', April 13, 1999.〕 Following Tremblay's announcement of her retirement from the House of Commons, Louise Thibault, a municipal councillor in Le Bic, became the Bloc Québécois candidate in the new riding of Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, and won the 2004 election. Tremblay ran in the resulting by-election to fill Thibault's municipal council seat, running primarily on a campaign of opposing the then-proposed amalgamation of Le Bic with Rimouski.〔("Défaite surprise pour Suzanne Tremblay" ). Radio-Canada, October 24, 2004.〕 She lost narrowly to Pierre Garon, a local farmer and trucker who had not previously been active in politics.〔 ==Electoral record== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suzanne Tremblay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
