In the fall of 1650, he returned to France to acquire the fishing monopoly at Tadoussac from the Company of One Hundred Associates. In 1652, he acquired the seigneury of Cap-des-Rosiers. He was one of the first members of the Sovereign Council of New France and was named a life member of the Council in 1675. In 1679, following a dispute between the council and Governor Frontenac, he was ordered by Frontenac to withdraw from Quebec City; at that time, he moved to Beauport.
