                 Alberta Human Resources and Employment selects CGI for
               four-year IT outsourcing contract valued at CDN$12 million

         Edmonton,  Alberta,  July 16, 2002 - The Alberta  Human  Resources  and
         Employment  Ministry and CGI Group Inc. (CGI) (TSX: GIB.A;  NYSE: GIB;)
         today  announced  the  signing of a  four-year  information  technology
         contract valued at CDN$12 million.

         As part of the  contract,  CGI  will  provide  application  maintenance
         services  supporting  everything from mainframe to Web-based  platforms
         for programs that include labor relations, financial benefits, training
         and employment assistance and safe workplaces. The contract will ensure
         that the systems  behind these  programs will  effectively  provide the
         information, the reports, and the financial benefits that people need.

         "We rely on systems to provide  financial  benefits to Albertans  every
         month, to ensure that thousands of Albertans get the training they need
         to get  back to  work,  and to  track  safety  inspections  of  Alberta
         workplaces,"  said Alberta  Human  Resources and  Employment  Minister,
         Clint  Dunford.  We found a partner  that can provide  the  services we
         need, the timeliness we require and the value that taxpayers demand."

         Michael  Roach,  president and chief  operating  officer for CGI added:
         "Our recent expansion in Edmonton  further  demonstrates our commitment
         to delivering quality services and solutions to the Alberta Government,
         a key area for us. As Canada's global IT services company,  we are very
         proud of the many  partnerships  we have  forged with  various  Alberta
         ministries and the speed at which we have grown our Edmonton operations
         to meet client demand."

         CGI has a strong track record with the Alberta  Government.  CGI offers
         flexible and business  focused  services with an emphasis on continuous
         improvement and service excellence. CGI's Edmonton office employs close
         to  200  professionals  serving  both  government  and  private  sector
         clients.   CGI's   Edmonton-based   professionals   provide   long-term
         information   technology   support  and  development  to  five  Alberta
         government  departments as well as the NWT Workers'  Compensation Board
         based in  Yellowknife.  CGI also has  government  practices  in Ottawa,
         Toronto,  Regina, Quebec City, Atlantic Canada,  Cleveland,  Washington
         and  Albany.  For  CGI's  second  quarter,  government  client  revenue
         accounted for 16% of CGI's total revenue.
