Thanks to CBC investigations, we now know that MLSE is more than $1 million behind on taxes. The report indicates that the group that owns the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors has an unpaid bill of $1.18 million.

Don Boyle, CEO of Exhibition Place, said in an interview with CBC that a resolution could be found by fall.
"He told CBC Toronto he's confident an agreement will be reached. But until that happens, "we would prefer our one tenant who right now is not paying their taxes — and don't believe they should be taxed — we think they should be paying their taxes and then seeing what the results of the appeal are at the end of the day." - Via Michael Smee, CBC
