False. Jacques Cartier did explore parts of Canada, including areas that are now known as Quebec, during the 16th century, and he did discuss the potential for gold and other riches. However, he did not actually find significant gold deposits or take any back to France. His expeditions primarily focused on exploration and establishing French claims to the territory.
True or False:
Jacques Cartier found gold in northern Canada and took it back to France.
