Stéphan Tremblay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stéphan Tremblay (born November 4, 1973) was a politician who was a member of the Canadian House of Commons from Quebec from 1996 to 2002.
Born in Alma, Quebec, he was first elected under the banner of the Bloc Québécois in the Lac Saint-Jean electoral district. In 2002, he left federal politics to join the provincial Parti Québécois where he was elected MNA in 2003 in the riding of Lac Saint-Jean in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region until his resignation in 2006. He served as the opposition critic for environment.
In 1998, he removed his green upholstered chair from the Canadian House of Commons and returned with it to his Quebec riding in protest of the gaps between the rich and the poor.[1] He returned the chair a week later.
In August 2004, Tremblay was injured when the small plane he was driving crashed near Alma, Quebec after hitting some Hydro-Quebec wires used for its high-voltage power lines. [1].
