Liberals saw their donations rise in the second quarter of this year, showing the sole increase among federal parties, though Conservatives continue to dominate.

Elections Canada released partiesÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ financial returns for the period from April to June this year.

The Liberals raised nearly $3.8 million in the second quarter, an increase from the nearly $3.1 million raised in the first quarter.

Most of those donations came in before the LiberalsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ stunning late-June byelection loss in a long-held Toronto riding, so its impact is unclear.

The Conservatives continue to bring in more money than all the other parties combined, though their fundraising fell from nearly $10.7 million during the first three months of the year to just over $9.8 million in the second quarter.

The New Democrats raised nearly $1.3 million in the second quarter, a decrease of about $55,000 from the previous quarter, while the Bloc Québécois raised just under $322,000, about $21,000 less.
