question: What research group is an independent source of information for the group of countries consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States
answer: G7 Research Group
context: Title: Minorities Research Group
  Passage: The Minorities Research Group (MRG) (est. 1963) was the first organisation to openly advocate the interests of lesbians in the United Kingdom.  It was founded by four women who got together in response to an article that was published in the magazine "Twentieth Century".  The group published the "Minorities Research Group Newsletter", and went on to publish its own lesbian magazine called "Arena Three" that provided a lifeline to remote lesbians around the country.
  Title: Network TwentyOne
  Passage: Network Twentyone, is a training and support organization for distributors working with the Amway business.  It was founded in 1990 by Jim and Nancy Dornan, distributors with Amway, originally to support their Amway network in the United States and Australia.  Network Twentyone provides complete "turnkey business support solutions" for Amway Independent Business Owners from meetings and function production including education, recognition and motivation to web applications and multi-media products designed to aid you in building a profitable Amway business.  These materials are often referred to as Business Support Material (or "BSM").  BSM are promoted to a captive market represented by fellow IBOs ("Independent Business Owners") as well as potential IBOs, creating an opportunity for an additional and independent source of income to that derived from bonus payments arising from the sales generated within the network.  The income of those who have reached significant levels can be substantially more through the sales efforts of BSM, to several or perhaps many IBOs Network TwentyOne operates in more than 40 countries and is considered one of the largest adult education organizations in the world.
  Title: Financial Stability Forum
  Passage: The Financial Stability Forum (FSF) was a group consisting of major national financial authorities such as finance ministries, central bankers, and international financial bodies.  The Forum was founded in 1999 to promote international financial stability.  Its founding resulted from discussions among Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors of the G7 countries, and a study which they commissioned.  The Forum facilitated discussion and co-operation on supervision and surveillance of financial institutions, transactions and events.  FSF was managed by a small secretariat housed at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.  The FSF membership included about a dozen nations who participate through their central banks, financial ministries and departments, and securities regulators, including: the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and several other industrialized economies as well as several international economic organizations.  At the G20 summit on November 15, 2008 it was agreed that the membership of the FSF will be expanded to include emerging economies, such as China.  The 2009 G-20 London summit decided to establish a successor to the FSF, the Financial Stability Board.  The FSB includes members of the G20 who were not members of FSF.
  Title: Discourse Unit
  Passage: The Discourse Unit is an international research group that currently has its main base at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.  It has been one of the most important focal points for the development of critical work in psychology and in other social sciences concerned with questions of subjectivity and politics.  The term "discourse" is used as a cover-all term for political studies of individual subjectivity that draw on feminism, Marxism, post-structuralism and psychoanalysis.  In 2003, Ian Parker produced a document for the Discourse Unit that outlines the way that researchers in the group draw on these four theoretical resources.  There is disagreement within the research group over the accuracy of this document.
  Title: G7 Research Group
  Passage: The G7 Research Group (formerly the G8 Research Group) is an independent source of information, analysis and research on the institutions, issues and members of the Group of Seven (formerly the Group of Eight) and the G7 Summit.
  Title: Asian Idol
  Passage: Asian Idol is a reality singing competition, which featured winners of "Idol" competitions from six Southeast and South Asian countries consisting of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam.  Part of the "Idol franchise", it originated from the reality program "Pop Idol" created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller, which was first aired in 2001 in the United Kingdom.  The first season was won by "Singapore Idol" Hady Mirza, who was awarded an all-expense-paid trip around the world on business class, after almost two million votes were cast.
  Title: Human trafficking in Hungary
  Passage: Hungary is a source, transit, and destination country for women and girls subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced prostitution and a source country for men and women in conditions of forced labor.  Women from Hungary are forced into prostitution in the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Greece, and the United States.  Women from eastern Hungary are subjected to forced prostitution in Budapest and areas in Hungary along the Austrian border.  Roma women and girls who grow up in Hungarian orphanages are highly vulnerable to internal forced prostitution.  Men from Western Europe travel to Budapest for the purpose of adult sex tourism, some of which may involve the exploitation of trafficking victims.  Men and women are subjected to conditions of forced labor within Hungary.  Women from Romania and Ukraine are transported through Hungary to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, and the United Arab Emirates where they are subsequently subjected to forced prostitution; some of these victims may be exploited in Hungary before they reach their final destination country.
  Title: Group of Seven
  Passage: The Group of 7 (G7) is a group consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.  These countries represent more than 64% of the net global wealth ($263 trillion) and all have a very high Human Development Index.  The G7 countries also represent 46% of the global GDP evaluated at market exchange rates and 32% of the global purchasing power parity GDP.  The European Union is also represented within the G7.
  Title: Canada under British rule
  Passage: Canada first came under British rule with the Treaty of Paris (1763) which ceded New France, of which Canada was a part, to the British Empire.  Gradually, other territories, colonies, and provinces that were part of British North America would be added to Canada.  The Royal Proclamation of 1763 enlarged the colony of Canada under the name of the Province of Quebec, which with the Constitutional Act 1791 became known as The Canadas.  With the Act of Union 1840 Upper and Lower Canada were joined to become the United Province of Canada.  Later, with Confederation in 1867, the British maritime colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were joined with the British colony of Canada to form the Dominion of Canada, which was subsequently divided into four provinces, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.  A number of other British colonies, such as Newfoundland and British Columbia, and large territories such as Rupert's Land initially remained outside of the newly formed federation.  Over time, the remaining colonies and territories within British North America came under the control of Canada until the current geographic extent of the country was reached when Newfoundland and Labrador joined Canada in 1949.  Although confederation in 1867 led to an enlarged Dominion with increased autonomy over domestic affairs, Canada still remained a colony within the British Empire and was thus subordinate to the British Parliament until the enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931.  This statute recognized Canada as an independent peer coequal with the United Kingdom, and thus provided the Parliament of Canada with legislative sovereignty over all federal matters except the power to change the constitutional laws of Canada which remained under the purview of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.  Canada's final vestige of legal dependence on the United Kingdom was terminated in 1982 with the enactment of the Canada Act, subsequently providing Canada with full legal sovereignty completely independent of the United Kingdom.
  Title: Murray v. United States
  Passage: Murray v. United States, 487 U.S. 533 (1988), was a United States Supreme Court decision that created the modern "independent source doctrine" exception to the exclusionary rule.  The exclusionary rule makes most evidence gathered through violations of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution inadmissible in criminal trials as "fruit of the poisonous tree".  In "Murray", the Court ruled that when officers conduct two searches, the first unlawful and the second lawful, evidence seized during the second search is admissible if the second search "is genuinely independent of [the] earlier one."
