English: Members will know it's the product of the Hazelkorn review. It recommended a single regulatory oversight and co-ordinating authority for the post-compulsory education sector, and we intend that the commission will bring together a range of currently disparate functions and funding streams and provide a transparent civic mission for the sector, as it covers higher education, further education, work-based learning, apprenticeships, sixth-form education and research and, as Adam Price said, innovation here in Wales. It's absolutely our ambition that we produce a single collaborative sector that is both ambitious and innovative, and the Minister will have heard the points that Adam Price has raised here this afternoon, and no doubt they will be further discussed during the passage of the Bill. As far as constraints on our legislative ability are concerned, Llywydd, the biggest constraint that we face is Brexit and the demands that it has already made on this Assembly. There have been 130 written statements published by the Welsh Government in relation to statutory instruments alone during their passage through this Assembly. We've had those many debates, and I'm very grateful for the work of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee in its sifting role about the negative and the affirmative procedure that will allow this Assembly to carry out its scrutiny role. It's been an enormous constraint on our ability to pay attention to some other legislative priorities that we might wish to have brought forward and it's not over yet. I think I have announced this afternoon a programme that will place enormous demands on Assembly Members here in committees and on the floor of the Assembly, because of the ambitious volume of legislation that we want to complete during the rest of this Assembly term. But I just want to take the opportunity of a point that Adam Price raised to say that all of this, to some extent, has to remain under review against the legislation that we may have to bring forward in an emergency way, should the United Kingdom crash out of the European Union in a way that we absolutely say must be avoided, and which then gives rise to unforeseen consequences that will require a legislative response. There are other constraints, of course, in terms of the availability of expertise, the availability of committee time, timetables of this Assembly itself, but Brexit is the single biggest constraint that we have faced over the last 12 months and I anticipate that it will go on being a constraint over the next 12 months as well.
Welsh: Bydd yr Aelodau'n gwybod ei fod yn gynnyrch adolygiad Hazelkorn. Argymhellodd y dylid sefydlu un awdurdod trosolwg a chydlynu rheoleiddiol ar gyfer y sector addysg ôl-orfodol, a bwriadwn i'r Comisiwn ddod ag ystod o swyddogaethau a ffrydiau cyllido sydd ar hyn o bryd yn wahanol, at ei gilydd a darparu c enhadaeth ddinesig dryloyw i'r sector, gan ei fod yn cwmpasu addysg uwch, addysg bellach, dysgu seiliedig ar waith, prentisiaethau, addysg chweched dosbarth ac ymchwil ac, fel y dywedodd Adam Price, arloesi yma yng Nghymru. Ein huchelgais yn llwyr yw ein bod yn cynhyrchu un sector cydweithredol sydd yn uchelgeisiol ac arloesol, a bydd y Gweinidog wedi clywed y sylwadau a wnaed gan Adam Price yma y prynhawn yma, ac mae'n siŵr y cânt eu trafod ymhellach yn ystod hynt y Bil. O ran cyfyngiadau ar ein gallu deddfwriaethol, Llywydd, y cyfyngiad mwyaf yr ydym ni'n ei wynebu yw Brexit a sut mae eisoes wedi effeithio ar y Cynulliad hwn. Cyhoeddwyd 130 o ddatganiadau ysgrifenedig gan Lywodraeth Cymru mewn cysylltiad ag offerynnau statudol yn unig yn ystod eu hynt drwy'r Cynulliad hwn. Rydym ni wedi cael y dadleuon niferus hynny, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn am waith y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol yn dadansoddi'r weithdrefn negyddol a chadarnhaol a fydd yn caniatáu i'r Cynulliad hwn gyflawni ei swyddogaeth graffu. Mae wedi bod yn gyfyngiad enfawr ar ein gallu i roi sylw i rai blaenoriaethau deddfwriaethol eraill yr hoffem ni fod wedi'u cyflwyno ac nid yw wedi dod i ben eto. Rwy'n credu fy mod i wedi cyhoeddi rhaglen y prynhawn yma a fydd yn rhoi pwysau enfawr ar Aelodau'r Cynulliad yma mewn pwyllgorau ac ar lawr y Cynulliad, oherwydd y swmp uchelgeisiol o ddeddfwriaeth yr ydym ni eisiau ei gwblhau yn ystod gweddill tymor y Cynulliad hwn. Ond dim ond eisiau manteisio yr wyf i ar sylw a wnaeth Adam Price i ddweud bod angen, i ryw raddau, adolygu hyn i gyd yn unol â'r ddeddfwriaeth y bydd yn rhaid inni ei chyflwyno mewn argyfwng efallai, pe bai'r Deyrnas Unedig yn gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yn ddisymwth mewn modd yr ydym ni'n dweud yn bendant bod yn rhaid ei osgoi, ac a fydd wedyn yn arwain at ganlyniadau annisgwyl y bydd angen ymateb deddfwriaethol iddynt. Mae cyfyngiadau eraill, wrth gwrs, o ran a fydd arbenigedd ar gael, a fydd amser pwyllgorau ar gael, amserlenni'r Cynulliad hwn ei hun, ond Brexit yw'r cyfyngiad unigol mwyaf yr ydym ni wedi'i wynebu dros y 12 mis diwethaf a rhagwelaf y bydd yn parhau i fod yn gyfyngiad dros y 12 mis nesaf hefyd.
