She joined the bureau in 2005 and took on the top job there in August 2009 for a five-year term. Ms Aitken says she was not fired but does she say what she’s going to do next. She has been dividing her time between her office in Ottawa and her home and family in Toronto. Many will hope that Melanie Aitken, who is a lawyer, is not heading into the obscurity of private practice or complete retirement. MoreMelanie Aitken quits her job two years early
