OTTAWA, June 9 (Reuters) - Canada's Competition Bureau

said on Monday it was suing DoorDash ( DASH ) and its Canadian subsidiary

for allegedly advertising misleading prices and discounts.

The bureau said in a statement it found that consumers were

unable to purchase food and other items at the advertised price

on DoorDash's ( DASH ) websites and mobile applications due to the

addition of mandatory fees at checkout.

The bureau said it was suing to stop DoorDash ( DASH ) from what it

called deceptive price and discount advertising. It is seeking a

penalty from the companies and wants them to offer restitution

to affected consumers.

In response, DoorDash ( DASH ) said it did not hide fees from

consumers or mislead consumers and said the bureau was wrong.

"We believe that this ... is an overly punitive attempt to

make an example of an industry leader in local commerce," it

said in a statement.
