Liberal MP Adam Vaughan falsely accused a provincial conservative cabinet minister of blaming education funding cuts on refugee children.

Hundreds of students in Kingston walked out of classes on Thursday to protest changes to Ontario's education system.

The Ministry of Education says the province's 72 school boards were notified that $25 million in cuts were made after the government reviewed the "Education Programs - Other" fund and found that the fund has a "track record of wasteful spending."
