The Competition Bureau pushed back on Google in its ongoing lawsuit over the tech giant’s advertising practices in Canada, accusing the company of seeking to mask its alleged anticompetitive conduct.

In court documents filed Friday, Competition Commissioner Matthew Boswell repeated the bureau’s previous allegations and said Google’s recent legal response describes an ad market that “ignores commercial reality.”
