Item 1. Security and Issuer.
     This Amendment No. 3 amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2004 as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2005 and by Amendment No. 2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2006 (such schedule, as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) by BCE Inc. (“BCE”) and 3787877 Canada Inc. (“3787877”) relating to the Class A Subordinate Shares (the “Class A Shares”) of CGI Group Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Québec (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 3 is filed by BCE, the Bell Canada Pension Plan (the “Plan”) and Bimcor Inc. (“Bimcor”, together with BCE and the Plan collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons” and each as a “Reporting Person”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1130 Sherbrooke Street West, 7th Floor, Montréal, Québec, Canada, H3A 2M8. A joint filing agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
     This Amendment No. 3 relates to the transfer, effective on October 23, 2006, by BCE to Bell Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCE, and to certain subsidiaries of Bell Canada, of 6,427,761 Class A Shares at $7.90 per share for an aggregate consideration of $50,779,311.90 payable to BCE by the issuance of promissory notes, and the subsequent transfer, effective on the same date, of the 6,427,761 Class A Shares by Bell Canada, and certain of its subsidiaries, to the Plan under the management of Bimcor. The subsequent transfer of the Class A Shares to the Plan reduces Bell Canada’s and its subsidiaries’ 2006 cash funding contributions to the Plan. The transfer of the 6,427,761 Class A Shares by BCE to Bell Canada and certain of its subsidiaries, and the subsequent transfer of these shares by them to the Plan, are herein collectively referred to as the “Transactions”.
     The following amendments to Items 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby made.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
     Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
     “This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed by the Reporting Persons.
     The Plan is a registered pension plan organized under the laws of Canada, and is the pension plan that covers the employees of Bell Canada and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Plan members”). Bell Canada, a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, is the sponsor and administrator of the Plan. Bimcor is a corporation organized under the laws of Canada that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCE and that manages independently from BCE the Plan’s investments. BCE is a corporation organized under the laws of Canada.
     The address of the principal place of business of BCE is 1000, rue de la Gauchetière Ouest, Bureau 3700, Montréal, Québec, Canada H3B 4Y7. The address of the

Table of Contents

principal place of business of Bell Canada, the Plan’s sponsor and administrator, is 1000, rue de la Gauchetière Ouest, Bureau 3700, Montréal, Québec, Canada H3B 4Y7. The address of the principal place of business of Bimcor is 1000, rue de la Gauchetière Ouest, Bureau 1300, Montréal, Québec, Canada H3B 5A7.
     The principal business activity of BCE is communications. The principal objective of the Plan is to pay pensions to Plan members when they terminate their employment with Bell Canada or its subsidiaries or, in the event of their death, to their designated beneficiaries. The principal business of Bimcor is the management of investments of the Plan and of investments of the pension plans of other BCE group companies. BCE is Canada’s largest communications company. Through its 28 million customer connections, BCE provides the most comprehensive and innovative suite of communication services to residential and business customers in Canada. Under the Bell brand, BCE’s services include local, long distance and wireless phone services, high-speed and wireless Internet access, IP-broadband services, information and communications technology services (or value-added services) and direct-to-home satellite and VDSL television services. Other BCE holdings include Telesat Canada, a pioneer and world leader in satellite operations and systems management, and an interest in Bell Globemedia, Canada’s premier media company.
     Set forth on Schedules A-1 and A-2 to this Amendment, and incorporated herein by reference, are lists of the executive officers and directors of BCE and Bimcor that contain the following information with respect to each such person: (i) name; (ii) residence or business address; (iii) principal occupation or employment (and address of corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted); and (iv) citizenship.
     During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best of the knowledge of BCE and Bimcor, none of the persons named on Schedules A-1 and A-2 hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.”
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
     “The Transactions reduce Bell Canada’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ 2006 cash funding contributions to the Plan.
     BCE has no current intention to acquire additional securities of the Company. However, BCE reserves the right to change its plans and intentions with respect to the Company at any time and BCE may, from time to time, sell or acquire Class A Shares (or other securities of the Company) in public or private transactions.
     The matters set forth in Item 6 below are incorporated in this Item 4 by reference as if fully set forth herein.

Table of Contents

     Except as set forth in this Item 4 (including the matters described in Item 6 which are incorporated in this Item 4 by reference), the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act.”
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
     “(a) Following the closing of the Transactions, BCE, the Plan and Bimcor are the beneficial owners of 28,927,761 Class A Shares representing 9.7% of the outstanding Class A Shares. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on the approximately 297.5 million Class A Shares outstanding on November 3, 2006.
     (b) Following the closing of the Transactions, BCE has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of no Class A Shares. Following the closing of the Transactions, the Plan and Bimcor have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of 28,927,761 Class A Shares. Following the closing of the Transactions, BCE may be considered to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of 28,927,761 Class A Shares. However, BCE disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares held by the Plan.
     To the best of the knowledge of BCE and Bimcor, the following persons named on Schedules A-1 or A-2 beneficially own the following amounts of Class A Shares and have sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to such shares (in each case the amount of Class A Shares accounts for less than 1% of the total outstanding amount of Class A Shares):
  (i)   André Bérard 5,000 Class A Shares
 
  (ii)   The Honourable Edward C. Lumley  4,000 Class A Shares
 
  (iii)   Alain Bilodeau800 Class A Shares
     (c) In addition to the Transactions, the following transactions were effected in the past sixty days in this class of securities by the Reporting Persons:
  (i)   On September 26, 2006, the Plan sold 1,500,000 Class A Shares at $7.05 per share through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”);
 
  (ii)   On October 12, 2006, the Plan sold 300,000 Class A Shares at $7.81 per share through the facilities of the TSX;
 
  (iii)   On October 13, 2006, the Plan sold 200,000 Class A Shares at $7.79 per share through the facilities of the TSX;
 
  (iv)   On October 19, 2006, the Plan sold 74,300 Class A Shares at $7.94 per share through the facilities of the TSX;

  (v)   On October 20, 2006, the Plan sold 225,700 Class A Shares at $7.90 per share through the facilities of the TSX;
 
  (vi)   On October 23, 2006, the Plan sold 200,000 Class A Shares at $7.96 per share through the facilities of the TSX;
     To the best of the knowledge of BCE and Bimcor, there were no transactions effected in the past sixty days in this class of securities by any of the persons named on Schedules A-1 and A-2 hereto.
     (d) No person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Class A Shares held by the Reporting Persons or the persons named on Schedules A-1 or A-2 other than each of the Reporting Persons or such persons named on Schedules A-1 or A-2.
     (e) Not applicable.”
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
     “The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
     The Transactions were first implemented by means of Share Transfer Agreements, made effective October 23, 2006, entered into by BCE, on one hand, and Bell Canada and certain of its subsidiaries, on the other, pursuant to which BCE transferred 6,427,761 Class A Shares to Bell Canada and such subsidiaries for an aggregate consideration of $50,779,311.90 payable by the issuance of promissory notes. A Transaction Agreement, also effective on October 23, 2006, was subsequently entered into by Bell Canada, and its subsidiaries, on one hand, and by Bell Canada in its capacity as administrator of the Plan (“Administrator”), on the other, pursuant to which the Administrator acquired, on behalf of the Plan, from Bell Canada and its subsidiaries the 6,427,761 Class A Shares for the same aggregate consideration which was satisfied by reducing Bell Canada’s and its subsidiaries’ 2006 cash funding contributions to the Plan. The Share Transfer Agreements and the Transaction Agreement are herein collectively referred to as the “Transactions Agreements”.
     This description of the Transactions Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transactions Agreements, copies of which have been filed as Exhibits 99.1 through 99.4 to this Amendment and are incorporated herein by reference.
     BCE and its wholly-owned subsidiaries holding any Class A Shares or Class B Shares or other securities of the Company (collectively, “Securities”) have certain registration rights with respect to the Securities held by them pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into as of July 1, 1998 among BCE, Bell Canada and the Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

     This description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 5 to this Schedule 13D on May 14, 2004 and is incorporated herein by reference.
     Except as described above or elsewhere in this Amendment or incorporated by reference in this Amendment, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the other persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.”
Item 7. Material to be filed as Exhibits.
     Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following exhibits to the end thereof:
“Exhibit 1: Joint Filing Agreement dated November 3, 2006 among BCE Inc., Bell Canada, in its capacity as administrator of the Bell Canada Pension Plan and Bimcor Inc.

Exhibit 99.4
OCTOBER 2006 – TRANSACTION AGREEMENT (i)
THIS TRANSACTION AGREEMENT is effective as of October 23, 2006
BETWEEN
BELL CANADA, a corporation governed by the laws of Canada, in its capacity as administrator of the Bell Canada Pension Plan (the “Administrator”)
- and –
BELL CANADA, a corporation governed by the laws of Canada, (“Bell”), in its capacity as employer under the Bell Canada Pension Plan (the “Bell Plan”)
- and –
BELL MOBILITY INC., a corporation governed by the laws of (Canada) (“Mobility”) and a participating company in the Bell Plan
- and -
CONNEXIM INC., a corporation governed by the laws of (Canada) (“Connexim”) and a participating company in the Bell Plan
RECITALS:
A.   For the period July 2006 to September 2006 inclusive, (i) Bell is required to pay to the Bell Plan $39,550,000.00 for current service costs and $ 18,147,000.00 for special payments in respect of a solvency deficiency under the Bell Plan, for a total of $57,697,000.00, (ii) Connexim is required to pay to the Bell Plan $ 850,000.00 for current service costs and $ 2,125,000.00 for special payments in respect of a solvency deficiency under the Bell Plan, for a total of $ 2,975,000.00, and (iii) Mobility is required to pay to the Bell Plan $ 1,975,000.00 for current service costs and $ 1,800,000.00 for special payments in respect of a solvency deficiency under the Bell Plan, for a total of $3,775,000.00.
B.   Each of Bell, Mobility and Connexim (collectively the “Employers” and each an “Employer”) own shares of CGI Group Inc. (“CGI”) which they wish to sell.
C.   The Administrator has determined that a purchase of CGI shares at market value would be a suitable investment for the Bell Plan and that such an investment would be permitted by, or in accordance with, the Bell Canada Pension Plan’s Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures (“SIPP”), the Pension Benefits Standards Act (“PBSA”), the regulations made under the PBSA, including Schedule III to such regulations and the terms of the Bell Plan.

 


 

Exhibit 99.4
D.   Bell has indicated that if the Administrator uses the amounts owing by Bell to the Bell Plan as a contribution obligation, to purchase on behalf of the Bell Plan, CGI shares from it at market value, then Bell would increase the special payment amount payable in relation to the solvency deficiency, for the period July 2006 to September 2006 inclusive such that the total contribution will increase to $50,779,311.90.
E.   Each of Mobility and Connexim have indicated that if the Administrator uses the amounts owing to the Bell Plan by Mobility and Connexim as applicable, as a contribution obligation, to purchase on behalf of the Bell Plan, CGI shares from them at market value then their total contributions for the period July 2006 to September 2006 inclusive will be $2,975,000.00 for Connexim and $ 3,775,000.00 for Mobility.
F.   The Administrator has determined that it would be in the best interests of members of the Bell Plan to purchase CGI shares from the Employers on the terms proposed, for reasons that include — the investment will be on terms and conditions no less favourable than market, the investment is in liquid securities traded on a public exchange, there will be no broker fees incurred to effect the purchase and the Bell Plan assets will be increased by an amount greater than the minimum contribution amount that would otherwise be paid to the Bell Plan.
G.   The SIPP permits the Administrator to enter into a transaction with a related party (which includes the Employers) if the transaction is not material (i.e. market value of the transaction is (i) less than 3% of the market value of the assets held in relation to the Bell Plan and (ii) is on terms and conditions no less favourable than market terms and conditions).
H.   The proposed transaction with each Employer will be on terms and conditions no less favourable than market terms and conditions and when taken into account with other transactions with such Employer is less than 3% of the market value of the assets held in relation to the Bell Plan as at the Effective Date. Moreover, the aggregate amount of the proposed transactions with the Employers is less than 3% of the market value of the assets held in relation to the Bell Plan as at the Effective Date.
I.   The Administrator has considered whether any of the transactions with the Employers would involve any conflict of interest and has determined that the transactions contemplated in this Agreement do not involve a material conflict between the role of Bell Canada as employer under the Bell Plan and the role of Bell Canada as administrator of the Bell Plan but that even if they did, the Administrator is satisfied that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the best interests of the members of the Bell Plan, with some of the reasons set out in Recital F. Moreover, the Administrator has advised members of the Plan and retirees of some elements of the transactions and the Administrator intends to, as soon as practicable, advise members of the Bell Plan and retirees of the substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 


 

Exhibit 99.4
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1.   Effective as of the date of this Agreement, the Administrator, on behalf of the Bell Plan, hereby purchases from each Employer and each Employer sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to the Administrator on behalf of the Bell Plan, at fair market value all of such Employer’s right, title and interest in and to the applicable number of CGI shares, all as set out in the attached Schedule “A” (the “Shares”). For the purpose of this Agreement, the fair market value (the “Purchase Price”) of the Shares of each Employer shall be based on the closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the day prior to the date of this Agreement of the Shares, with the share price and Purchase Price set out in the attached Schedule “A”.
2.   The Administrator shall satisfy the Purchase Price for the purchase of the applicable Shares from each Employer by using the amount owing by such Employer as described in Recitals D and E and as a result, the obligation of each Employer to make payments to the Bell Plan in the amount as set in Recitals D and E shall be offset by the obligation of the Administrator to pay to each Employer the Purchase Price for the Shares so transferred and upon the applicable Shares being transferred to the trustee for the Plan, each Employer shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation to make payments to the Bell Plan in the amount as set in Recitals D and E and the Administrator shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligation to pay to each Employer the Purchase Price for the Shares so transferred.
3.   The Employers hereby deliver to the Administrator the share certificates representing the Shares duly endorsed for transfer to the trustee for the assets held in relation to the Bell Plan, or accompanied by an irrevocable security transfer power of attorney duly executed and the receipt of which by the Administrator is hereby acknowledged.
