It was given broad powers and wide responsibility: the monopoly of trade with all New France, Acadia as well as Canada; powers of government; the obligation to take out 400 settlers a year; and the task of keeping New France in the Roman Catholic faith.
An attempt at settlement there was made by Sir William Alexander, to whom Nova Scotia (New Scotland) had been granted by the Scottish king James VI (after 1603, James I of England).It is difficult to estimate the effect of the war on the policy of the Hundred Associates.
By 1645 settlers in Canada and Acadia were producing provisions for the fur traders and the annual ships.

Champlain and the Jesuits often spoke out against Brûlé's adoption of Huron customs, as well as his association with the fur traders, who were beyond the control of the colonial government.
Brûlé left Quebec to live with the natives in the 1620s.
As he had no longer any particular loyalty to Champlain or the French, Brûlé helped the English capture Champlain and Quebec City in 1629 (though the colony was returned to France in 1632).

 Canadian Military Heritage
In 1632, the inhabitants of the settlement at Quebec were overjoyed to see white flags floating on the masts of the French ships that had come to take possession of the colony again.
We can deduce from this that white flags had probably flown in Canada in the 1620s, or even earlier, or else the inhabitants would not have recognized them as emblematic of France.
This beautiful flag, similar to the royal French flag with the addition of the royal coat of arms in the centre, could only be flown in the presence of the king (similar to the modern flag of the governor general of Canada).
