Walmart 'sincerely apologizes' over confusion around program for people with intellectual disabilities

Quebec's health minister stated that he doesn't believe Walmart's apology

Walmart is apologizing two days after it said it would end involvement in a program that gives on-the-job training to people with intellectual disabilities in Quebec saying the announcement "created confusion."

Vice-president of corporate affairs for Walmart Canada Robert Nicol issued the statement Saturday that Walmart would continue to support people in the program.

"Our goal was to find other ways to help people in these programs, including direct employment," Nicol stated via email.

He did not specify how the retailer would continue to help.
