Initially, the Ontario Ministry of Labour sued Live Nation for their failure to secure the stage in a year-long investigation. 13 charges were laid but eventually stayed as the court proceedings took too long. The CBC through a Freedom of Information request obtained the incident report from the Ontario Ministry of Labour detailing issues with the structural integrity of the stage.

Findings in the report include:

The overall weight of the suspended roof grid system was miscalculated.
The construction did not follow the design.
Devices used to weigh stage components were insufficient.
Sixteen ballasts not installed correctly; three were not connected to any stage component.
No locking pins were installed in some upper sections of the scaffolding system.
