Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay, député Circonscription Saint-Hyacinthe-Bagot

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay has been a Member of Parliament for Saint-Hyacinthe-Bagot since October 2019 and is the Bloc Québécois caucus spokesperson on international trade and aerospace and automotive issues. Vice-Chairman of the House of Commons Standing Committee on International Trade and the Canada-U.S. Interparliamentary Group, he also sits on the all-party aerospace caucus.

His political vocation is rooted in his desire to see Quebec assert itself on the world stage as an independent country. A supporter of economic nationalism and post-Keynesian theses, and a critic of neoliberalism and unbridled globalization, the Huron-Wendat-born MNA passionately serves his fellow citizens and defends Quebec's interests.
Education and activism.

After growing up in Quebec City, Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay obtained a bachelor's degree in political science from the Université de Montréal and a master's degree in sociology from the Université du Québec à Montréal. In 2018, he earned a PhD in the socio-economics of development from the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris, under the supervision of Jacques Sapir and Florence Weber. During his formative years, he was a fervent activist, serving as president of the Bloc Québécois Youth Forum from 2010 to 2012. His involvement is sustained and high-profile, particularly in the 2011 federal election and the Bloc Québécois leadership race following Gilles Duceppe's resignation. Inspired by the political thinking of Camille Laurin and an admirer of Jacques Parizeau, he is associated with the "hardliners" of the independence movement.
Professional life

Before his election, Mr. Savard-Tremblay was active in several media, notably as a blogger for the Journal de Montréal and a columnist and host on Radio VM and CIBL 101.5 FM. He is also a regular contributor to the magazine La Vie Agricole, l'Action Nationale, and the business newspaper Le MAG.

He also teaches economic sociology at Université Laval and political economy of international relations at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, before leaving his post to devote himself entirely to his political career.
