Charmaine Borg was the New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for the riding of Terrebonne—Blainville in Quebec from 2011 to 2015. She was first elected in the 2011 Canadian federal election, defeating incumbent MP Diane Bourgeois of the Bloc Québécois. Contending for the redistricted riding of Terrebonne in the 2015 election, she was defeated by Michel Boudrias of the Bloc Québécois.
Borg was born on 3 November 1990 in Oakville, Ontario as one of seven children, though her family moved to Keswick, Ontario when she was one year old. She is of Franco-Ontarian and Maltese descent, and is fully bilingual in French and English, though she preferred to speak French on the floor of the House of Commons.
After creating a drama program for at-risk youth, she won the Lieutenant Governor's Community Volunteer Award in 2008.
At the time of her election, she was a student studying political science and Latin American studies at McGill University and was also working as the Labour Relations Officer for the Association of McGill University Support Employees.
