What is one reason why the colonial population of new france was relatively small?

The French colonists did not attain the economic profits they were promised to by authorities or what they expected. Merchants from different French cities made the colony´s original population. Exclusive rights to resources had been promised to those who ventured into the new land. In 1663, the population was roughly 3,000 people, half of them Canadian-born. Less than one percent of the granted land was being exploited. Wealth from minerals, fishing, wood, cloth, furs did not materialize. Only fur trade was somewhat profitable, but it was irregular and often disappointing.
