Calgary, Alberta, June 5, 2000

Lafarge Canada Inc. (TSE:LAF), the leading supplier of construction materials in Canada, Mullen Transportation Inc. (TSE:MTL), Lafarge's primary cement carrier in Alberta, and CGI (TSE: GIB.A, NYSE: GIB), one of Canada's leading e-business services providers announced today a new business-to-business (B2B) initiative designed to streamline the supply chain process. The primary focus of the initiative will include the development of a seamless real-time information database, which will be accessible by both Lafarge and Mullen.

"Lafarge is committed to using the latest Internet based technologies to ensure that our customers receive the most timely and responsive delivery solutions in the cement market today", said Jim Bergeron, Vice President of Distribution for Lafarge. "Furthermore, by working closely with Mullen we believe that these initiatives will ultimately serve as a prototype for Lafarge to utilize in other regions and product lines in our organization".

"The efficiencies that can be realized through the collaborative sharing of information are significant", added Murray Mullen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mullen Transportation. "In this new economy, suppliers must be prepared to help their customers become more efficient. In the first stage of this project we believe we can help Lafarge improve the supply chain process through the elimination of unnecessary work processes, and simultaneously improve customer service. Both companies will win from this initiative."

CGI has been engaged by Lafarge to develop the web-based system, which will allow product delivery requirements and current status to be electronically conveyed between Lafarge and Mullen. Data from varied internal and external applications will be consolidated, allowing easier access to shipment status information. The cement delivery process will be streamlined by providing increased opportunities to pair up Mullen satellite equipped trucks with Lafarge cement orders in Alberta. The system will include customer service oriented performance metrics to help both Lafarge and Mullen improve the levels of service offered to customers.
