Anne McLellan was part of the Wilson Center Task Force on Public Health and the U.S.-Canadian Border that prepared and wrote the report on The U.S.-Canadian Border: Recovering from COVID-19.

The report studies the use of border restrictions to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated variants. It was enriched by briefings, studies and advice from hundreds of experts, government officials and private citizens. It was published in the hope that it will aid governments, businesses and citizens to better understand the costs and benefits of border restrictions in the case of a pandemic.

Anne was selected to the Task Force as one of four eminent leaders whose experiences in public office gives them first-hand knowledge of the diverse U.S.-Canadian border and stakeholders in border policy in Canada and the United States.
