Grégoire was first elected to the National Assembly in a by-election held on June 17, 2002 with 51% of the vote. Parti Québécois (PQ) star candidate David Levine finished second with 28% of the vote.

In the 2003 election, Grégoire finished second with 32% of the vote, behind PQ candidate Alexandre Bourdeau (35%).

During the 2007 campaign and since then, Grégoire has been a regular panelist on the Réseau de l'Information's news program Le Club des Ex, along with former political opponents Liza Frulla of the Liberal Party and Jean-Pierre Charbonneau of the PQ.[1]

In April 2007, she signed a manifesto that urges Quebec to choose an electoral system in which a significant number of seats would be determined by proportional representation instead of plurality.[2]
