            PRESS RELEASE                              FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION


                  Air Canada extends three-year ERP support and maintenance
                        contract with CGI valued at CDN $11.5 million

            Montreal,  Quebec,  May 8, 2002 - Air Canada (TSX: AC) and CGI Group
            Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB;) (CGI) today announced the signing of a
            CDN$11.5  million dollar,  three-year  extension for the support and
            maintenance of their existing five-year enterprise resource planning
            (ERP) contract which includes PeopleSoft Human Resources,  Benefits,
            Payroll and Finance,  as well as related mainframe  applications and
            interfaces.

            As part of the agreement,  over 1000 Air Canada  employees mainly in
            Montreal  and Winnipeg are  supported by CGI  professionals  through
            CGI's support  center.  Over the course of the agreement,  via trend
            analysis,  cross  training  and  quality  assurance,  CGI  has  been
            successful  in  stabilizing  and  streamlining  the  complex  system
            resulting  in a robust  and  effective  environment  that  meets the
            clients' need for flexibility and quality control.

            "We found CGI to be an extremely  flexible partner as they were able
            to readjust the initial  contract to meet the business  needs of our
            changing  organization.  It is important  for us to know that we are
            not  locked  into  an  agreement  that  does  not  evolve  with  our
            organization," said Jean-Paul Bourgeois, senior director, enterprise
            systems, Air Canada.

            Michael Roach president and chief  operating  officer for CGI added:
            "We are very  pleased  to be  supporting  Air  Canada  in this  most
            important area of their business. Through our support center, a core
            team  dedicated to Air Canada is able to quickly  adjust the system,
            make  modifications and respond to user queries.  As Canada's global
            IT services firm, it is through  understanding and evolving with our
            clients   that  we  are  able  to  maintain   successful   long-term
            partnerships."

            CGI has been  delivering  services to Air Canada since 1998.  In the
            last  quarter of 1998,  CGI took over the  support of the Air Canada
            enterprise  applications,  namely of PeopleSoft  finance, as well as
            mainframe   applications   in  the  areas  of   finance   and  human
            resources/payroll,  and successively in 1999 was responsible for the
            support of PeopleSoft Human Resources,  Benefits and Payroll. Client
            requests for changes and improvements are dealt with in an efficient
            manner and CGI offers ongoing system  evolution  thanks to its large
            pool of diversified expertise - unmatched in any single corporation.
            The  quick and  successful  integration  of  Canadian  Airlines'  IT
            functions  also  demonstrates  the  benefits  of  dealing  with  CGI
            specialists  capable of quickly providing  competent  resources when
            demand increases.
