The Conservative Party continues to hold a big fundraising edge over the Liberals, bringing in millions more than the governing party in this year's second quarter.

The Tories raised nearly $8 million in donations from almost 47,000 contributors between April and June.

Figures provided by the party show that's a slight decrease from the $8.3 million the Tories raised during the first three months of the year, though more people made donations.

The Liberals, who held a policy convention in May, brought in nearly $3.2 million from over 30,000 people during the second quarter — with both figures slightly down from the first three months of the year.
