From the Internet:
Mercantilism, did however, lead to the adoption of enormous trade restrictions, which stunted the growth and freedom of colonial business. In the 1660s, for example, England passed the Navigation Acts, a series of laws designed to make American colonies more dependent on manufactured products from Great Britain.
So, it's likely that the colonial power would benefit more than the colony.
