About Pierre Paradis
Pierre Paradis is a politician in the Canadian province of Quebec. He represented Brome-Missisquoi in the National Assembly of Quebec from 1980 to 2018. A member of the Liberal Party, he served as a cabinet minister in the governments of Robert Bourassa, Daniel Johnson Jr. and Philippe Couillard. Despite his loss, Paradis won the respect of other Liberals and improved his public standing through the campaign. The strike affected garbage collection and road repair, and Paradis argued it had created a safety concern; he also charged that the union neglected its responsibility to provide essential services. At age twenty-seven, he won a case before the Supreme Court of Canada against proposed limits on egg marketing. The Liberals won a majority government in the 1985 provincial election, and Bourassa became premier of Quebec for a second time.
