English: Thank you for those comments. I was pleased that you had the opportunity to meet with and talk to officials about the mutual investment model. I would certainly offer technical briefings to any Members who are keen to find out more about how the model works and to have any detailed technical questions answered that they might have. I have to say though that the mutual investment model I don't think has been a secret - there's been a Government commitment to it going back as far as 2011, when it was in our manifesto to look at innovative ways to fund public infrastructure. The model has evolved over time, so we have been borrowing from Scotland and from England where appropriate, learning from the European Investment Bank, adapting to accounting rules where necessary, and the MIM is very much a project of that learning and the challenging and the adaptation that has been taking place, which I think is a good thing. There's been clear ministerial oversight of this project since the start. I know that Cabinet had discussed innovative finance three times during the previous administration and periodic updates were also considered by the Cabinet sub-committee for infrastructure. In the current term, Cabinet has already twice considered the mutual investment model and my predecessor made statements on the mutual investment model on two occasions already in this term - so, in February 2017 and in June last year - as well as stressing the important role that MIM has to play in numerous publications, such as the update to the Wales infrastructure investment plan and the draft budget. So, it's by no means a secret, but I do appreciate and understand your concern that the mutual investment model should be easily understood and accessible to people with an interest, particularly, I think, with regard to twenty-first century schools, which is a tremendously exciting project that will transform the learning environments of children across Wales.
Welsh: Diolch am y sylwadau hynny. Roeddwn yn falch y cawsoch chi'r cyfle i gwrdd â swyddogion a sgwrsio gyda nhw am y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol. Fe fyddwn i'n sicr yn cynnig sesiynau briffio technegol i unrhyw Aelodau sy'n awyddus i wybod mwy ynglŷn â sut mae'r model yn gweithio ac i ateb unrhyw gwestiynau technegol manwl sydd ganddyn nhw. Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud fodd bynnag nad wyf i'n credu y bu'r model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol yn gyfrinach - mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ymrwymo iddo mor bell yn ôl â 2011, pan yr oedd ein maniffesto yn sôn am edrych ar ffyrdd arloesol o ariannu seilwaith cyhoeddus. Mae'r model wedi esblygu dros amser, felly rydym ni wedi bod yn benthyca gan yr Alban a Lloegr lle bo'n briodol, gan ddysgu gan Fanc Buddsoddi Ewrop, addasu i reolau cyfrifyddu lle bo angen, ac mae'r model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol yn brosiect sy'n deillio o'r dysgu hwnnw i raddau helaeth iawn a'r her a'r addasu sydd wedi bod yn digwydd, sy'n beth da, rwy'n credu. Bu gweinidogion yn goruchwylio'r prosiect hwn yn ofalus ers y cychwyn. Rwy'n gwybod i'r Cabinet drafod cyllid arloesol dair gwaith yn ystod y weinyddiaeth flaenorol ac ystyriwyd diweddariadau achlysurol hefyd gan is-bwyllgor y Cabinet ar gyfer seilwaith. Yn y tymor presennol, mae'r Cabinet wedi ystyried ddwywaith eisoes y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol ac fe wnaeth fy rhagflaenydd ddatganiadau ar y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol ar ddau achlysur eisoes yn y tymor hwn - felly, ym mis Chwefror 2017 ac ym mis Mehefin y llynedd - yn ogystal â phwysleisio swyddogaeth bwysig y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol mewn cyhoeddiadau niferus, megis y diweddariad i'r cynllun buddsoddi yn seilwaith Cymru a'r gyllideb ddrafft. Felly, nid yw'n gyfrinach mewn unrhyw fodd, ond rwyf i'n sylweddoli ac yn deall eich pryder y dylai'r model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol fod yn hawdd ei ddeall ac yn hygyrch i bobl sydd â diddordeb, yn arbennig, rwy'n credu, o ran ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, sy'n brosiect hynod gyffrous a fydd yn trawsnewid amgylcheddau dysgu plant ledled Cymru.
