Item 1. Security and Issuer .

This Amendment No. 2 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 (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. 2 is filed by BCE, 3787877, the Bell Canada Pension Plan (the “Plan”) and Bimcor Inc. (“Bimcor”, together with BCE, 3787877 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, 7 th 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. 2 relates to the transfer, effective on July 28, 2006, by BCE and 3787877 to Bell Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCE, and to certain subsidiaries of Bell Canada, of 25,000,000 Class A Shares at $6.71 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $167,750,000 payable to BCE and 3787877 by the issuance of promissory notes, and the subsequent transfer, effective on the same date, of the 25,000,000 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 25,000,000 Class A Shares by BCE and 3787877 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.

The principal business activity of BCE is communications. The principal business of 3787877 was to serve as a holding company for securities of the Company. 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.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best of the knowledge of BCE, 3787877 and Bimcor, none of the persons named on Schedules A-1, A-2 and A-3 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 and Bell Canada are considering entering into similar transactions in October 2006 for the transfer to the Plan of the balance of the Class A Shares held by BCE.

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 calculation of the foregoing percentages is based on the approximately 304.9 million Class A Shares outstanding on July 28, 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 6,427,761 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 25,000,000 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, 3787877 and Bimcor, the following persons named on Schedules A-1, A-2 or A-3 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):

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 July 28, 2006, entered into by BCE and 3787877, on one hand, and Bell Canada and certain of its subsidiaries, on the other, pursuant to which BCE and 3787877 sold 25,000,000 Class A Shares to Bell Canada and such subsidiaries at an aggregate purchase price of $167,750,000 payable by the issuance of promissory notes. A Transaction Agreement, also effective on July 28, 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 25,000,000 Class A Shares for the same aggregate purchase price 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 99.5 to this Amendment and are incorporated herein by reference.

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.
