Welcome to our searchable database on financial reporting. This database includes information extracted from financial reports of candidates in an election, leadership contestants, nomination contestants, registered electoral district associations, and registered political parties.

** Conservative Party of Canada – 2004 fiscal period

On December 7, 2003, the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada merged to form the Conservative Party of Canada. When two registered parties merge, the Act requires each party to file a final return with Elections Canada for the fiscal period up to the date of the merger.

On June 7, 2004, the two merging parties filed final fiscal returns covering the period from January 1, 2003, to December 6, 2003. The data for the period from December 7 to December 31, 2003, were reported in the 2004 fiscal return filed by the newly formed Conservative Party of Canada.

The data for this period are provided under the year 2003.

*** For contestants participating in Nomination Contests that started in 2006 and ended in 2007 please search within the 2004 to 2006 data. Contests that bridge versions of the act are reported using the older legislation's forms.
