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. 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-Louisiana 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 discr him as a representative of the true Quebec. 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, and popular singer Céline Dion for purportedly turning her back on her Québécoise identity in her pursuit of popular stardom. 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.
She lost narrowly to Pierre Garon, a local farmer and trucker who had not previously been active in politics.
