Dalton Days?

Civil servants in Ontario may be in for some ''Dalton Days.''

Premier Dalton McGuinty is giving his strongest indication that civil servants may have to take unpaid days off to help eliminate the deficit.

McGuinty told a gathering in Niagara-on-the-Lake the public sector has a duty to help eliminate the 25-billion-dollar deficit.

Former N-D-P premier Bob Rae proposed a similar strategy to deal with a deficit in the early 1990's, which the unions condemned as "Rae Days.''
