English: Thank you, First Minister. So, I assume that you will be refreshing the strategy. Following on from Sam Kurtz's questions, would it be possible for you to write to the committee with an analysis of your expectations for the various international offices? For example, I heard the Minister for rural affairs in the Chamber yesterday talking about developing food markets in the middle east, through trade missions in Dubai, for example. As I recall, these offices made a major difference to Wales's ability to extend its influence during these discussions and at these events. So, perhaps it would be useful if you could write to the committee, highlighting your expectations for the network of international offices over, let's say, the next 12 months, and your expectations of the strategy itself - for example, the work that you're doing with the arts sector. I know that that was extremely important to Eluned Morgan when she first published the strategy. It would perhaps be easier for us to receive that information in writing from you, and then perhaps to have a broader session on that when that's convenient during the spring.
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Brif Weinidog. So, dwi'n cymryd y byddwch chi'n adnewyddu neu'n reffresio'r strategaeth yn ystod y cyfnod nesaf. A fydd modd - i ddilyn cwestiynau Sam Kurtz - i chi efallai ysgrifennu at y pwyllgor gyda dadansoddiad o'ch disgwyliadau chi ar gyfer y swyddfeydd rhyngwladol gwahanol? Er enghraifft, clywais i'r Gweinidog materion gwledig yn y Siambr ddoe yn sôn am ddatblygu bwyd yn y dwyrain canol, yn sôn am y trade missions yn Dubai, er enghraifft. Dwi'n cofio bod y swyddfeydd yma wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr i allu Cymru i ymestyn ei dylanwad yn ystod y trafodaethau yma a'r digwyddiadau yma. So, efallai y byddai hi'n hwylus petaech chi'n gallu ysgrifennu at y pwyllgor, yn tanlinellu beth ydy'ch disgwyliadau chi ar gyfer y rhwydwaith o swyddfeydd rhyngwladol yn ystod, dywedwch, y flwyddyn nesaf, ac wedyn eich disgwyliadau chi o'r strategaeth ei hun - er enghraifft, y gwaith dŷch chi'n ei wneud â'r sector celf. Dwi'n gwybod bod hynny'n hynod o bwysig i Eluned Morgan pan wnaeth hi gyhoeddi'r strategaeth yn y lle cyntaf. Byddai hi'n rhwyddach i ni, efallai, dderbyn y gwaith ysgrifenedig yma gennych chi, ac wedyn efallai cael sesiwn ehangach ar hynny pan mae hynny'n gyfleus yn y gwanwyn.
English: I'm happy to write to you, Chair. We've already agreed to provide an annual report to the committee on the work of the international offices. And that is retrospective, of course - it is feedback on what has happened. But I would be happy to write to the committee with the plans that we have for the next 12 months. And of course, much of the work that will happen over the next 12 months will arise from what we have been doing over the past 12 months. In the arts, for example, the programme that we've had over the current financial year, Wales in Germany - many things that will happen next year in the arts will have arisen from the work that we've already done. But I would be happy to write to you with further details.
Welsh: Dwi'n hapus i ysgrifennu, Gadeirydd, wrth gwrs. Dŷn ni wedi cytuno'n barod i roi adroddiad blynyddol i'r pwyllgor ar waith y swyddfeydd sydd gyda ni dramor. Ac mae hwnna'n edrych yn ôl, wrth gwrs - mae'n adborth ar bethau sydd wedi digwydd. Dwi'n hapus i ysgrifennu at y pwyllgor gyda'r cynlluniau sydd gyda ni ar gyfer y flwyddyn sydd i ddod. Ac wrth gwrs, mae lot o'r gwaith sy'n mynd i ddigwydd yn ystod y flwyddyn nesaf yn codi mas o'r pethau rŷn ni wedi eu gwneud yn ystod flwyddyn ddiwethaf. Mae nifer o bethau yn y maes celfyddydau, er enghraifft, a'r rhaglen rŷn ni wedi'i chael dros y flwyddyn ariannol bresennol, Cymru yn yr Almaen - mae lot o bethau sy'n mynd i ddigwydd y flwyddyn nesaf yn y maes celfyddydau wedi codi mas o'r gwaith rŷn ni wedi'i wneud yn barod. So, wrth gwrs, dwi'n hapus i ysgrifennu i roi mwy o fanylion.
English: Thank you, First Minister. We're halfway -
Welsh: Diolch, Brif Weinidog. Rydyn ni hanner ffordd -
English: Thank you, Alun. We're halfway through our session. We have a quarter of an hour left and three Members who have questions to ask. If everyone takes five minutes, then everyone will have time. We'll move to Heledd Fychan.
Welsh: Diolch, Alun. Dŷn ni hanner ffordd drwy'r sesiwn. Mae gyda ni chwarter awr ar ôl a thri Aelod sydd angen gofyn cwestiynau. Os bydd pawb yn cymryd pum munud, bydd amser ar gyfer pawb. Fe wnawn ni symud at Heledd Fychan.
English: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, everyone. I wanted to ask specifically about the service level agreement with Wales Arts International. I understand that that exists, through correspondence that we've received from the arts council, and that it's there until 2023. I wanted to understand if some of the £8.904 million will be provided for that purpose, or is that funding attached to the arts council's budget?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Bore da, bawb. Eisiau holi oeddwn i yn benodol o ran y cytundeb lefel gwasanaeth sydd gyda Celfyddydau Rhyngwladol Cymru. Rwy'n deall bod hwnnw'n bodoli, o gyfathrebiad rydyn ni wedi'i gael gan y cyngor celfyddydau, hyd at 2023. Rwy'n trio deall os ydy peth o'r arian - yr £8.904 miliwn yma - yn mynd tuag at y cytundeb hwnnw, neu ydy'r arian hwnnw ynghlwm efo cyllideb y cyngor celfyddydau?
English: They are funded from more than one source. Of course, the arts council has its own budget, but they can draw funding from my funding pot when they do specific things where we are seeking to develop things in the international arena. Just to give you an example, I went to Japan when the Rugby World Cup was being staged there. Of course, I was focused on the economy. There was a trade mission in Tokyo at the same time, but the Welsh dance company was also in Japan at that time, in Oita, where the Welsh rugby team was based. One of our artists was also over there. So, I had an opportunity to visit Oita and to participate in a performance. I was there with the president of the region, and the funding for that was provided by us because it was part of the larger package that we were funding in order to get everything we could out of the world cup for Wales. So, there is funding in our budget for the arts when it is part of a particular event or drive that we're involved with.
Welsh: Maen nhw'n cael yr arian oddi wrth fwy nag un ffynhonnell. Wrth gwrs, mae cyllideb gyda'r cyngor celfyddydau ei hunan, ond maen nhw yn gallu tynnu arian mas o fy nghyllideb i hefyd pan maen nhw'n gwneud pethau penodol lle rydym ni'n trial datblygu pethau yn y maes tramor. Jest i roi enghraifft, es i draw i Japan pan oedd Cwpan Rygbi'r Byd yn mynd ymlaen yn Japan. Wrth gwrs, roeddwn i'n canolbwyntio ar bethau yn yr economi. Roedd trade mission yn Tokyo ar yr un pryd. Ond ar yr un pryd, roedd cwmni dawns Cymru draw yn Japan, yn Oita, lle'r oedd tîm rygbi Cymru yn aros. Ac roedd un o'n hartistiaid ni draw yno hefyd. Felly, fe ges i gyfle i fynd draw i Oita ac i gymryd rhan mewn rhyw fath o berfformiad. Roeddwn i yno gyda llywydd y rhanbarth ac roedd yr arian ar gyfer hynny wedi dod wrthym ni achos roedd yn rhan o becyn mwy o bethau yr oeddem yn ei ariannu er mwyn tynnu popeth yr oeddem yn gallu mas o gwpan y byd i Gymru. Felly, mae arian yn ein cyllideb ar gyfer y celfyddydau pan mae'n rhan o rywbeth arbennig rŷn ni'n ei wneud.
English: Thank you, First Minister. In your answer to Alun Davies, you referred to things such as the work in Germany and so on, which is also something I know that Wales Arts International have been involved with. I think it would be beneficial, if possible - and I know that time is short today - just to have a better understanding if we could of that service level agreement, and how collaboration between Wales Arts International and your department works on funding particularly, if possible.
Welsh: Diolch, Brif Weinidog. Mi wnaethoch chi gyfeirio yn eich ateb i Alun Davies hefyd ynglŷn â phethau fel y gwaith yn yr Almaen ac ati, sydd hefyd, dwi'n gwybod, yn rhywbeth y mae Celfyddydau Rhyngwladol Cymru wedi bod ynghlwm ag o. Dwi'n meddwl y byddai'n fuddiol, os yn bosib - a dwi'n gwybod bod amser yn brin heddiw - i jest gael gwell dealltwriaeth, os gwelwch yn dda, o ran y cytundeb lefel gwasanaeth yna, a sut mae'r cydweithio rhwng Celfyddydau Rhyngwladol Cymru a'ch adran chi'n gweithio o ran y cyllid yn benodol, os ydy hynna'n bosib.
English: First Minister, we know that time is short, as Heledd mentioned. If you do want to write to us with further detail, we'd be very grateful for that.
Welsh: Brif Weinidog, rŷn ni'n gwybod, fel roedd Heledd yn dweud, bod amser yn brin. Os ydych chi eisiau ysgrifennu atom ni gyda mwy o fanylder, byddem ni wir yn ddiolchgar am hynny.
English: I have more detail here on the Wales in Germany programme, so I'm sure it would be easier for me to provide that in writing to you.
Welsh: Mae mwy o fanylder gyda fi fan hyn ar y rhaglen Cymru yn yr Almaen, so dwi'n siŵr ei fod yn haws i mi roi hwnna mewn ffordd ysgrifenedig i chi.
English: Thank you very much. We'll move on to Carolyn Thomas.
Welsh: Iawn. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen at Carolyn Thomas.
English: Thank you for that, First Minister. We will move on now to Hefin David.
Welsh: Diolch am hynny, Brif Weinidog. Fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen at Hefin David.
English: Yes, if I may, following on from Hefin David's questions. You recently announced the appointment of Derek Vaughan as the Welsh Government's representative in Europe. Are there additional resources attached to supporting his work?
Welsh: Ie, os caf i, yn dilyn o gwestiynau Hefin David. Mi wnaethoch chi gyhoeddi yn ddiweddar yma penodi Derek Vaughan yn gynrychiolydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn Ewrop. Oes yna adnoddau ychwanegol yn gysylltiedig â hynny i gefnogi ei waith?
English: Yes, of course, we will have to find money to support that work. The role is a part-time role, two days a week for a period of two years. In addition to the funding for the individual involved in that work, of course, he will be travelling to Brussels and staying in Brussels, so we'll have to find funds for that. The support for the work will come out of the office that we already have in Brussels, so that won't be expensive and we can draw on the resources we already have there. When we're talking about one person working part time, then there is plenty of flexibility in our budget to support that new role.
Welsh: Ie, wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid inni ffeindio arian i gefnogi'r gwaith. So, gwaith rhan amser yw e, dau ddiwrnod yr wythnos ac am ddwy flynedd, hefyd, yw'r swydd. Ar ben top yr arian am y person sy'n gwneud y gwaith, wrth gwrs, mae e'n mynd i deithio i Frwsel, aros ym Mrwsel, so bydd yn rhaid inni ffeindio'r arian am hynny. Bydd y gefnogaeth i'r gwaith yn dod mas o'r swyddfa sydd gennym ni'n barod ym Mrwsel, so bydd hwnna ddim yn gostus, achos rŷn ni'n gallu tynnu ar yr adnoddau sydd ganddyn nhw yn barod. A phan rŷn ni'n siarad am un person, rhan amser, mae digon o hyblygrwydd yn y cyllid i gefnogi'r swydd newydd.
English: Thank you for that, First Minister. Just in our final minute with you, we're very grateful for your time this morning. I think we've all found this session beneficial and we know how busy you are, but clearly the international work of the Government is so important, it would be beneficial if we could have a scrutiny session with you annually, perhaps, on this work. Perhaps that's something we can discuss with your office.
Welsh: Diolch am hwnna, Brif Weinidog. Jest yn y funud olaf sydd gennym ni gyda chi, dŷn ni'n ddiolchgar iawn am eich amser y bore yma. Dwi'n meddwl dŷn ni i gyd wedi ffeindio'r sesiwn yma yn fuddiol a dŷn ni'n gwybod pa mor brysur ydych chi, ond yn amlwg mae'r gwaith rhyngwladol mae'r Llywodraeth yn ei wneud mor bwysig, byddai fe'n fuddiol pe baem ni'n gallu cael sesiwn graffu gyda chi efallai'n flynyddol, ar y gwaith yma. Efallai bod hynny'n rhywbeth y byddem ni'n gallu trafod gyda'ch swyddfa chi.
English: I'm happy to discuss it, of course, Chair, but there is a specific committee that meets every half term that scrutinises everything that I do, and I know that I am responsible for work in this particular area, but I'm responsible for everything that the Government does, and that forum does scrutinise me on all of the issues. So, of course I'm willing to discuss it, but I do go every half term for two hours to be scrutinised on everything, so there are many possibilities to do that.
Welsh: Dwi'n fodlon ei drafod e, wrth gwrs, Gadeirydd, ond a dweud y gwir, mae pwyllgor penodol sy'n cwrdd bob hanner tymor sy'n craffu ar bopeth dwi'n ei wneud, a dwi'n gwybod fy mod i'n gyfrifol am y gwaith yn y maes hwn, ond dwi'n gyfrifol am bopeth y mae'r Llywodraeth yn ei wneud, ac mae'r fforwm yna i'm craffu i ar bopeth. So, wrth gwrs dwi'n fodlon ei drafod e, ond dwi yn mynd bob hanner tymor am ddwy awr i gael fy nghraffu ar bopeth, so mae mwy nag un posibilrwydd i'w wneud e.
English: The clock has turned 10:30. Thank you very much to you and to our other witnesses - Paula and Andrew also - for your time. A transcript will be provided so that you can check it and we're very grateful for your time. We will now take a short 10-minute break. We'll move into private session.
Welsh: Mae wedi troi 10:30. Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi a hefyd i bob un o'r tystion - Paula ac Andrew hefyd - am eich hamser. Bydd transgript yn cael ei ddanfon atoch chi i'w wirio. Dŷn ni'n ddiolchgar iawn. Ac Aelodau, mi wnawn ni gymryd egwyl fer o 10 munud. Mi wnawn ni symud yn breifat.
English: Good morning. Welcome back to our scrutiny session of the Welsh Government draft budget for 2022-23. We now move to a session on the Welsh language. May I ask our witnesses to introduce themselves? We'll come first to the Minister.
Welsh: Bore da. Croeso nôl i'n sesiwn yn craffu ar gyllideb ddrafft 2022-23 Llywodraeth Cymru. Rŷn ni nawr yn symud at sesiwn ar y Gymraeg. Gaf i ofyn i'r tystion gyflwyno eu hunain? Fe wnawn ni ddod yn gyntaf at y Gweinidog.
English: I'm Jeremy Miles, Minister for Education and the Welsh Language in the Welsh Government.
Welsh: Jeremy Miles, Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg yn Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: And Owain.
Welsh: Ac Owain.
English: Owain Lloyd, director of education and the Welsh language, Welsh Government.
Welsh: Owain Lloyd, cyfarwyddwr y Gymraeg ac addysg, Llywodraeth Cymru.
English: It's a pleasure to have you here this morning. Could I ask, first of all, Minister - ? In looking at the draft budget, the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol seems to be benefiting; that isn't true of Mudiad Meithrin. So, what assessments did you make to come to those decisions? Mudiad Meithrin have told the committee in the past that we must ensure that that investment is in place from that very early stage. So, what's your assessment of that, please?
Welsh: Mae'n bleser gennym ni i gyd eich bod chi gyda ni y bore yma. Gaf i ofyn, yn gyntaf, Weinidog - ? Yn edrych ar y gyllideb ddrafft, mae'r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol i'w weld yn elwa ar y gyllideb; dydy hynny ddim yn wir ar gyfer y Mudiad Meithrin. Pam? Pa asesiadau oeddech chi'n eu gwneud er mwyn dod at y penderfyniad yma? Dwi'n siŵr y bydd Mudiad Meithrin - . Yn y gorffennol, maen nhw wedi dweud wrth y pwyllgor fod angen gwneud yn siŵr bod yr investment yna - beth bynnag ydy ' investment ' yn y Gymraeg - yn digwydd o pan mae plant yn ifanc iawn. Felly, beth fyddai eich asesiad o hynny, os gwelwch yn dda?
English: Thank you for that, Minister. One other thing before we move on to Heledd Fychan. In your paper, when you talk about the digital landscape, you talk about many aspects. You say on it, and I will quote: 'several elements of which could be considered as preventative or "once-for-Wales" spend.' I haven't heard that phrase before. Is that something that you coined yourself in terms of this 'once for Wales'?
Welsh: Diolch am hwnna, Weinidog. Un peth arall, cyn inni symud ymlaen at Heledd Fychan. Yn y papur, pan dŷch chi'n sôn am y tirlun digidol, dŷch chi'n sôn am sawl elfen. Rŷch chi'n dweud - wel, fe wnaf i ddyfynnu - y gallai 'sawl elfen ohoni gael eu hystyried fel gwariant ataliol neu "unwaith i Gymru"' - ' once for Wales '. Dwi ddim wedi clywed y phrase yna o'r blaen. Ydy hwnna'n rhywbeth roeddech chi wedi'i greu, o ran y syniad yma, 'unwaith i Gymru'?
English: No, it's not my idea; it's a well-established concept among us. The intention, of course, is to ensure that we ensure that there is as little duplication in the process as possible, but I can't claim responsibility for the phrase.
Welsh: Na, nid fy syniad i yw hwnnw; mae hwnna'n syniad sydd wedi'i sefydlu ers amser gyda ni. Y bwriad yw sicrhau ein bod ni'n creu cyn lleied o broses a ddyblygu yn y system ag sy'n bosibl, ond gallaf i ddim fy hun honni mai fi yw awdur yr enw.
English: Thank you, Chair, and good morning. Could I ask you, Minister, if you could expand on how the draft budget aligns with the Welsh Government's priorities for the Welsh language, as set out in the updated programme for government?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd, a bore da, bawb. Gaf i ofyn ichi, Weinidog, allwch chi ymhelaethu i ni, os gwelwch yn dda, ar sut mae'r gyllideb ddrafft hon yn cyd-fynd â blaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer y Gymraeg, fel y nodir yn ei rhaglen lywodraethu sydd wedi'i diweddaru?
English: Thank you, Minister. You've touched on this in your response, but, clearly, the priority in terms of the million speakers by 2050 runs across all Government portfolios. So, could I ask what evidence has been provided to you as the Minister for the Welsh language in terms of how this strategy is being embedded across ministerial portfolios and Welsh Government departmental budget decisions in light of this strategy?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Dŷch chi wedi cyffwrdd â hyn yn eich ymateb, ond, yn amlwg, mae'r flaenoriaeth o ran targed miliwn o siaradwyr a 2050 yn mynd ar draws holl bortffolios y Llywodraeth, felly. Gaf i ofyn, felly, ba dystiolaeth sydd yn cael ei darparu i chi fel Gweinidog sy'n arwain ar y Gymraeg o ran sut mae'r strategaeth hon yn cael ei hymgorffori ar draws portffolios y Gweinidogion a'u penderfyniadau cyllideb benodol nhw o ran adrannau Llywodraeth Cymru, felly, yn sgil y strategaeth yma?
English: Thank you, Minister. We'll move on to Alun Davies.
Welsh: Diolch am hynna, Weinidog. Fe wnawn ni symud ymlaen at Alun Davies.
English: Thank you, Minister. In that previous response, you mentioned Arfor. So, what are your expectations for the language policy?
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Weinidog, am hynny. Yn ystod yr ateb diwethaf yna, mi wnaethoch chi sôn am Arfor. Beth yw'ch disgwyliadau chi ar gyfer y polisi iaith?
English: For language policy?
Welsh: Ar gyfer polisi iaith?
English: One of the things that we realised quite some time ago in terms of the viability of the language in areas that we've described in the past as 'heartlands', in those communities where the language prospers, that we need to support that through economic development. So, Arfor is an example of the work that's been happening in that regard. But also, there are other examples. So, if you look at the Welsh communities housing plan, out to consultation currently, there are examples there of using Government investment to support co-operatives, to support innovation in local business models in those communities in order to ensure economic prosperity. Also, I'll have more to say on this later in the year, but there will be a specific scheme for co-operative bodies more broadly in Wales. So, this is part of the picture. The work of the economy and Welsh language round-table is also a basis for this, and it recognises that language policy cannot exist in isolation from economic policy.
Welsh: Un o'r pethau rŷn ni wedi sylweddoli ers amser o ran ffyniant yr iaith yn yr ardaloedd lle mae'r iaith - beth roedden ni, yn y gorffennol, wedi eu galw'n gadarnleoedd yr iaith, efallai - a chymunedau lle mae'r iaith yn ffynnu, fod angen sicrhau hynny drwy gefnogaeth economaidd. Felly, mae Arfor yn enghraifft o'r gwaith sydd wedi bod yn digwydd yn hynny. Ond hefyd, mae enghreifftiau eraill o'r rheini. Felly, os edrychwch chi ar gynllun tai cymunedau Cymraeg, y mae ymgynghori arno ar hyn o bryd, mae enghreifftiau yn hynny o ddefnyddio buddsoddiad llywodraethol i allu cefnogi cyrff cydweithredol, i allu cefnogi arloesi mewn modelau busnes yn lleol yn y cymunedau hynny er mwyn sicrhau ffyniant economaidd, a hefyd - bydd gyda fi fwy i'w ddweud am hyn yn hwyrach yn y flwyddyn - gynllun penodol ar gyrff cydweithredol yn ehangach yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod y rheini gyda ni. Felly, mae hwn yn rhan o'r darlun. Mae gwaith bwrdd crwn yr economi a'r Gymraeg hefyd yn sail i hyn, sy'n cydnabod nad yw polisi iaith yn gallu byw ar wahân i bolisi economaidd, os hoffwch chi.
English: Okay, thank you for that. Chair, it might be an idea for us to ask the Minister to write to us when he has a better idea of his expectations and the impact on language policy that Arfor is expected to have. I think it's very interesting, by the way, so I look forward to that. One of the disappointments in the Welsh Government's language policies over the past few years is the deficiencies in terms of promoting the Welsh language. I know that when I introduced the 'Cymraeg 2050' strategy, promotion was a crucial part of that. It was a central part, I would say, and I have been disappointed that that didn't remain a central part of the policy more recently. So in the budget that we're scrutinising today, how will you ensure that we promote the use of the Welsh language?
Welsh: Ocê, diolch am hynny. Gadeirydd, efallai ei fod e'n syniad inni ofyn i'r Gweinidog ysgrifennu atom ni pan fydd gyda fe well syniad o'i ddisgwyliadau fe ac o'r impact ar y polisi iaith, o Arfor. Dwi'n meddwl ei fod e'n ddiddorol iawn, gyda llaw, so dwi'n edrych ymlaen at hynny. Un o'r siomau ym mholisi iaith Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystod y rhai blynyddoedd diwethaf yw y diffygion o ran hyrwyddo'r Gymraeg. Dwi'n gwybod, pan wnes i gyflwyno strategaeth 'Cymraeg 2050', roedd hyrwyddo yn rhan hanfodol o hynny - canolog, buaswn i'n dweud, o hynny, a dwi wedi bod yn siomedig nad yw hynny wedi aros yn ganolog i bolisi diweddar Llywodraeth Cymru. So, sut ydych chi, yn y gyllideb sydd gyda ni o'n blaenau ni heddiw, yn mynd i sicrhau hyrwyddo defnydd y Gymraeg?
