Erta hayot va shaxsiy martaba
-----------------------------

Paradis Kvebekning Sent-Jan-sur-Rishel shahrida tug'ilgan. U Ottava universitetida tijorat bakalavri darajasiga (1970) va fuqarolik huquqi bakalavriga (1975) ega va 1976 yilda Kvebek advokatiga qabul qilingan  1985 yilda u *Régles de procédure devant les tribunaux administratifs* kitobining hammuallifi bo`lgan. 

Paradis-Poulin firmasida hamkor sifatida ishlagandan so'ng, u 1993 yilda Kvebek advokatlar assotsiatsiyasi prezidenti bo'ldi  O'sha yilning iyun oyida u ba'zi viloyat sud binolarining to'lib-toshgan holatini tanqid qildi.  U Kvebekning Sen-Armand shahridagi vino zavodiga ham ega.

Birinchi siyosiy idoralar (1995–2002)
-------------------------------------

Paradis birinchi marta 1995 yilda Kanada Jamoatchilik palatasiga qo'shimcha saylovda saylangan, u Brom- Missiskua uchun o'tirgan Kvebeka bloki a'zosi Gaston Peloquin avtohalokatda halok bo'lganidan keyin chaqirilgan.  Paradis kampaniyada Kanada federalistik g'oyasini qo'llab-quvvatladi va uning saylanishi Brom-Missisquoining birlashgan Kanadadagi o'rnini tasdiqlashini aytdi.  Saylov dastlab chaqirish uchun juda yaqin deb hisoblangan, ammo Paradis sezilarli farq bilan g'alaba qozondi. Uning g'alabasi 1995 yilda Kvebekda suverenitet bo'yicha referendum o'tkazishda federalist ishiga yordam sifatida ko'rildi. 

Paradis parlamentga Jan Kretyen hukumati tarafdori sifatida kirdi. 1995 yil oxirida u talabalarni ikkinchi til ko'nikmalarini rivojlantirishga undagan "Yozgi ish/Talaba almashinuvi" loyihasini boshlashga yordam berdi.  U 1997 yil fevral oyida Liberal partiyaning Kvebekdagi kokus raisi etib saylangan.

Paradis 1997 yilgi federal saylovda ikkinchi parlament mandatiga qaytarildi va 1997 yil oxirida u Kvebek maktablarini diniy yo'nalishlarga emas, balki tillarga bo'linishni tavsiya qilgan maxsus qo'mita hamraisi bo'ldi.  U 1999 yil yanvar oyida Xalqaro hamkorlik vazirining parlament kotibi lavozimiga tayinlangan va o'sha yilning sentyabr oyida u parlament kotibi lavozimiga ko'tarilgan va tashqi ishlar vaziri.  2000 yilgi federal saylovda yana parlamentga qaytarildi.
