When you specify a URL in the TEMPLATE parameter, then the parameters 
replacement is done in the URL itself, and MapServer will redirect the 
client to the URL in which the variable replacements have been made e.g.

TEMPLATE 
"http://geomsp.msp.gouv.qc.ca/communs/todo2.html?DATEPROD=[DATE_PRODUCTION]"

To use a regular template file, you need to specify its path on disk, 
and then MapServer will load the template and do the variable 
replacements inside the template. e.g.

TEMPLATE "/path/to/communs/todo2.html"
