TORONTO: Canada's Competition Bureau said that it was dropping an investigation into Google after saying in 2013 that it suspected the company was abusing its dominant position in online search. 

The watchdog said it had found evidence to support one of the allegations against Google but that the company had already made changes to remedy those concerns and agreed not to reintroduce anticompetitive clauses in its contracts.
