Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

groupeguerin.ca

I ran this command: certbot --apache certonly --domain groupeguerin.ca

It produced this output:

Could you please share the log file?

I agree with @Osiris that it could be helpful to see the logs, but this error also suggests a likelihood that your server's network doesn't allow outbound HTTPS connections—do you think the server could be behind a firewall of some kind that restricts its ability to connect elsewhere on the Internet?
