Lisa Hepfner (born June 17, 1971) is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the riding of Hamilton Mountain in the House of Commons of Canada in the 2021 Canadian federal election. Prior to her election to the House of Commons, she was a television news journalist for CHCH News.
In 2011, she was honoured with a YWCA Hamilton Women of Distinction Award for politics and public affairs.
In September 2023, the Prime Minister announced that Lisa Hepfner was chosen to serve as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, a position she held until March 2025.
After being re-elected in 2025, she began serving as chair of the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
In the first session of the 45th Parliament, Hepfner presented Private Member's Bill C-223, the Keeping Children Safe Act, an amendment to the Divorce Act.
Second reading and referral to committee took place on Feb. 4, 2026.
The Keeping Children Safe Act requires legal advisors to take family violence into account and changes the existing premise that children are property that must be split equally in the divorce.
The National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL) said the legislation marks a renewed call from nearly 300 organizations across Canada for urgent reform to end use of "parental alienation" allegations in family court.
