BCE ANNOUNCES DECISION TO EXIT STAKE IN CGI

CGI TO PURCHASE 100 MILLION OF ITS SHARES FROM BCE

•

Total proceeds of $859 million to BCE

•

Key commercial agreements extended to 2016

•

Transaction accretive to CGI’s shareholders

MONTRÉAL, Québec – December 16, 2006 – CGI Group Inc (TSX: GIB.SV.A; NYSE: GIB) and BCE (TSX, NYSE: BCE) today announced BCE’s decision to exit its stake in CGI and that CGI will purchase 100 million of its class A shares currently held by BCE at a price of $8.5923 per share. The purchase price is equal to the volume-weighted average price of CGI class A shares for the past 20 trading days on the TSX.

BCE will realize total proceeds of $859,230,000 which will generate an annualized return on investment of approximately 14 per cent. Following the expiration of a 120-day standstill period from the closing date, BCE intends to dispose of its remaining 28.3 million class A shares, having a current market value of approximately $242 million in an orderly fashion, with a view to maximizing value for BCE shareholders.

The disposition of BCE’s stake in CGI is one further result of the company’s continuing review of its asset base. The review determined that it was no longer strategically essential for BCE to hold an investment in CGI – given that Bell Canada’s focus is on providing network centric managed services and applications. BCE and CGI agreed that their ongoing relationship – and the significant mutual benefit it represents -- could be secured through commercial agreements.

To that end, BCE and CGI have extended their outsourcing agreements, that will see CGI remain Bell Canada’s preferred IS/IT supplier until June 2016. CGI’s agreement outsourcing its Canadian communications network management requirements to Bell will be similarly extended. As well, the commercial alliance between CGI and Bell Canada’s Enterprise Group will be extended until 2016.

“We believe that investing in CGI is the best use of our financial resources. Like any acquisition we make, it will clearly be accretive to our shareholders” said Serge Godin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CGI. “Bell is one of CGI’s most valued customers and CGI is one of Bell Canada’s leading clients, together forming a key strategic partnership to deliver integrated solutions to our Canadian clients. The extension of our outsourcing agreements reinforces our relationship and provides CGI with an important source of recurring revenues as well as $1.1 billion of additional backlog.¹”

“Given the decision to exit our stake in CGI, the sale of the majority of our shares directly to CGI was the most efficient and economical means of realizing value from our investment,” said Michael Sabia, President and Chief Executive Officer of BCE, referring to the fact that the transaction is at market price rather than at a discount which is typical when a large block of shares is sold. “This is the second recent move we have taken to reshape our asset base. Furthermore, with the commercial agreement, we will be able

to deliver significant overall IS/IT savings to further the company’s Galileo cost reduction objectives.”

CGI will finance the acquisition price through cash on hand and debt. Following the closing of the transaction, CGI will have 296.8 million class A shares and 33.8 million class B shares outstanding.

A decision was obtained from the Autorité des marchés financiers in order to allow CGI to proceed with the transaction which is expected to close by January 12, 2006, subject to customary conditions contained in the credit facilities of CGI. An independent committee of the CGI Board of Directors established in connection with the transaction determined that the transaction is in the best interests of CGI and its shareholders (other than BCE) and is fair to the shareholders of CGI (other than BCE). Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated provided the independent committee with a fairness opinion stating that the consideration to be paid by CGI pursuant to the transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of CGI (other than BCE). The current shareholders’ agreement between the two companies will be terminated upon completion of the transaction.

As a result of this transaction, BCE expects to recognize an accounting gain of approximately $80 million in the first quarter of 2006. In addition, BCE will be required to account for CGI as a discontinued operation and therefore will no longer proportionately consolidate CGI’s financial results. Accordingly, BCE will reclassify $100 million from its reported Free Cash Flow² representing the full contribution of CGI’s 2005 Free Cash Flow to BCE. Consequently, to accommodate this accounting change, BCE is adjusting its full year 2005 guidance for Free Cash Flow from the range of $700 million to $900 million to $600 million to $800 million. All other 2005 guidance as outlined in BCE’s November 2, 2005 Q3 2005 earnings press release remains unchanged.

¹Statements in this news release regarding CGI’s backlog are based solely on CGI estimates and as per CGI policy, are calculated assuming the agreements remain in place throughout their term.

²BCE defines free cash flow as cash from operating activities after capital expenditures, total dividends and other investing activities. The term free cash flow does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow is presented on a consistent basis from period to period. BCE considers free cash flow to be an important indication of the financial strength and performance of its business because it shows how much cash is available to repay debt and to reinvest in BCE. BCE believes that certain investors and analysts use free cash flow when valuing a business and its underlying assets. The most comparable Canadian GAAP financial measure is cash from operating activities. The adjusted range of expected Free Cash Flow for 2005 of $600 million to $800 million reflects expected cash from operating activities in 2005 of approximately $5.8 billion to $6.0 billion, less capital expenditures, total dividends and other investing activities, instead of expected cash from operating activities of $5.9 billion to $6.1 billion, less the same items, as previously disclosed by BCE.
