Excerpt from Canada and Its Provinces, Vol. 2 of 22: A History of the Canadian People and Their Institutions by One Hundred Associates

It is evident from the terms of this commission that nothing was wanting in it for the complete government and administration of the colony. It practically transferred to Canada, in such measure as might be needed, the whole political system of France.

On February 16, 1540, Roberval took the oath of office as lieutenant-general of the new dominions.1 In 1598 his sovereignty over the territory passed to the Marquis de la Roche, who had already made several abortive attempts to plant a colony in the New World, by virtue of a commission dated January 12 of that year, granted to him by Henry IV and containing precisely the same powers, privileges and monopolies as that given to Roberval. The territory, how ever, now included, in addition to Canada, Hochelaga and the Saguenay region, the further territories of Newfoundland, Labrador and Norumbega, or Nova Scotia.
