PRESS RELEASE                                        FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

             Canada Post selects CGI to negotiate the creation of a
                  new information technology services company

Ottawa,  Ontario,  September 12, 2001 - CGI Group (CGI) (NYSE: GIB,  TSE:GIB.A),
today  announced  that  it has  been  selected  by  Canada  Post to  enter  into
negotiations  for the creation of a jointly owned  information  technology  (IT)
services  company.  It is planned  that the new firm will  provide IT  services,
including e-business solutions, to the Canada Post group of companies, including
Purolator  Courier Limited and Progistix  Solutions,  as well as to other postal
organizations worldwide. Annual revenue of the newly created firm is expected to
be over CDN$200 million.

Through this new firm,  the Canada Post group of  companies  will have access to
world-class IT services at a more competitive cost thus allowing them to further
leverage the power of IT for  competitive  advantage.  The firm will lead in the
development  and  integration  of  IT-enabled  business   solutions,   including
e-business  solutions,  geared for not only the Canada Post group of  companies'
customers, but also for their employees and their work environment.

"We are  extremely  excited and proud to be selected  for this next step on this
important  venture," said Serge Godin,  chairman and chief executive  officer of
CGI. "We are also pleased  about  entering a new and  exciting  sector.  We will
commit the necessary financial,  technological and human resources to ensure the
success and growth of the new firm. We are confident that together,  integrating
our respective  talents,  we can grow postal  solutions to a higher level and in
doing so become a leading-edge provider on the international postal scene."

"In the fast paced world of e-commerce,  the Canada Post group of companies must
be able to rely on supporting  information  technology  services and  management
capabilities that reflect state-of-the-art  technology and best practices," said
Philippe L. Lemay, Canada Post's executive vice-president, business development.
"This  takes  us  a  step  closer  to  creating  a  flexible,  customer-focused,
world-class information technology services provider to meet this requirement."
