In line 35 of the zonefile "mtq.gouv.qc.ca" has no priority for MX record.
Because of this named will reject the zone and will log a messages like:

named[]: mtq.gouv.qc.ca:35: Priority error near (elliot)
named[]: master zone "mtq.gouv.qc.ca" (IN) rejected due to errors
         (serial 2001031303)

Fix line 35, and you're should be ready.
