Christine Moore (born October 21, 1983) is a Canadian politician and Nurse. On May 2, 2011, she was elected as the Member of Parliament for Abitibi—Témiscamingue, Quebec for the New Democratic Party during the 2011 Canadian federal election. She defeated Bloc Québécois MP Marc Lemay, who held the riding since 2004. On October 19, 2015, Moore was re-elected as the Member of the Parliament for Abitibi—Témiscamingue, Quebec for the New Democratic Party during the 2015 Canadian federal election.
Moore was trained as a medical technician; she was educated at 52e Medical coy (Army Force) Sherbrooke and graduated in 2005. She earned a diploma of college studies in nursing from the Cégep de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue in 2008 and a B.Sc. in nursing from the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT) in 2010. She completed a one-month humanitarian internship in Senegal as part of her nursing degree at UQAT in 2009, and she served with the Canadian Forces for over three years. She is also a member of Nurses Without Borders.
Moore finished a distant fourth as the NDP candidate in Abitibi—Témiscamingue in 2006 and 2008; both times, she came up well short of the 10-percent threshold to have her campaign expenses refunded. However, on her third try in 2011, she overwhelmed Lemay by 9,500 votes as part of the NDP wave that swept through Quebec.
