  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

  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

<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The disposition
  of BCE&#146;s stake in CGI is one further result of the company&#146;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 &#150; given that Bell Canada&#146;s
  focus is on providing network centric managed services and applications. BCE
  and CGI agreed that their ongoing relationship &#150; and the significant mutual

  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&#148;
  said Serge Godin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CGI. &#147;Bell is
  one of CGI&#146;s most valued customers and CGI is one of Bell Canada&#146;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.<SUP>1</SUP>&quot;</FONT>

<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">&#147;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,&#148; 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.
  &#147;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&#146;s Galileo cost reduction objectives.&#148;</FONT>

<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">A decision
  was obtained from the Autorit&eacute; des march&eacute;s 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 &amp; 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&#146;
  agreement between the two companies will be terminated upon completion of the
  transaction.</FONT> </P>
<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font>
<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="2" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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&#146;s financial results. Accordingly, BCE will
  reclassify $100 million from its reported Free Cash Flow<SUP>2 </SUP>representing
  the full contribution of CGI&#146;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&#146;s November
  2, 2005 Q3 2005 earnings press release remains unchanged. </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="justify"><FONT size="1" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2 BCE 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.</FONT> </P>
