		France agreed to cede Canada to Britain, opting instead to keep the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe because of its rich sugar crops and the ease with which it could be controlled as compared to Canada, a less profitable and underpopulated colony.
		In fact, France was at the time showing various symptoms of social discontent that should have justified a larger number of refugees fleeing to Canada, whose abundance of resources contrasted with the famine and unemployment among the poorest classes.

		This new governing body was to be composed of the governor, the bishop, the intendant, an attorney-general, a secretary, and five councillors.
		To establish a new and improved system of administration was a good thing, but this alone would hardly avail if powerful help were not forthcoming to rescue New France from ruin, despondency, and actual extermination.
		Thus it came about that, when an intendant was needed to infuse new blood into the veins of the feeble colony on the St Lawrence, Colbert, always a good judge of men, thought immediately of Jean Talon and recommended to the king his appointment as intendant of New France.
