That   i s   the error.

You need to put in the name of your server itself, not some other
server.  And use the same domain name, either implicitly:

			NS	gate.crt.umontreal.ca.

or explicitly:

100.10.in-addr.arpa.	NS	gate.crt.umontreal.ca.

	or

@			NS	gate.crt.umontreal.ca.

Don't use $ORIGIN.  Unless you know that you don't have to, but it will
make things more convenient.  $ORIGIN is never needed.  It is sometimes
convenient.  It seems to more often be confusing, when people new to
BIND use it.

The domain that is calling your zone file is always the implicit
$ORIGIN.
