In the year 2002, a meeting of G-8 countries was held in Canada. The G-8 countries consist of the world`s leading industrialized nations. The question asks us to identify the country that was not a member of this meeting.

Option 1: France - France is a member of the G-8 countries, so it was likely present at the meeting.

Option 2: Japan - Japan is also a member of the G-8 countries, so it was likely present at the meeting.

Option 3: Russia - The correct answer is option 3. Russia was not a member of the G-8 during the time of this meeting in 2002. However, it should be noted that Russia was a member of the G-8 at a later time but was suspended in 2014 due to the annexation of Crimea.

Option 4: Sweden - Sweden is not a member of the G-8 countries, so it is possible that it was not present at the meeting.

In conclusion, the country that was not a member of the G-8 and hence not present in the meeting held in Canada in 2002 is Russia.
