In his first term, he supported the expansion of the fur trade, establishing Fort Frontenac (now Kingston, Ontario) and came into conflict with the other members of the Sovereign Council over its expansion and over the corv?es required to build the new forts. In particular, despite the opposition of bishop Fran?ois de Laval, he supported selling brandy to the First Nations, which Laval considered a mortal sin. The conflict with the Sovereign Council led to his recall in 1682.

His second term was characterised by the defense of Quebec from a British invasion during King William's War, a successful guerrilla campaign against the Iroquois and English settlements which resulted in the elimination of the Iroquois threat against New France, and a large expansion of the fur trade using Canadian coureurs des bois.
