Monique Gagnon-Tremblay served as Liberal leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly of Quebec from May 1998 to December 1998.
When former Liberal Premier and then leader of the Opposition Daniel Johnson, Jr. decided to quit politics in March 1998, Jean Charest resigned as leader of the federal Progressive Conservatives to replace Johnson as leader of the Quebec Liberal Party (not affiliated with the federal Liberal Party of Canada). Gagnon-Tremblay became leader of the Opposition, since Charest did not yet have a seat in the National Assembly.
In the 1998 election Charest won a seat and replaced Gagnon-Tremblay as leader of the Opposition.
After the Liberals won the 2003 election, Gagnon-Tremblay became deputy premier in the Charest government and has held various cabinet posts.
