English: May I also start by welcoming the Minister to her new role and to wish her well? Perhaps she could start by explaining why voting against amendment 2 is in accordance with having an open mind on these issues. I thank the commissioner for her report; it's a good idea to start with the 2011 census, given that the commissioner is fighting for her role, because she is bound to show that there has been improvement since 2011. The main impression drawn from this report is that the commissioner has been a little reticent in taking credit for much of the success that has taken place since 2011. The inputs and outputs are fine, but this is one report where the commissioner needed to actually boast about her own achievements. The commissioner's budget has reduced over the years and savings have been made, and this has gone hand in hand with a reduction in the promotional role of the commissioner. Whether the commissioner's office continues in its current form or is amended, or if a new body is created, then, the Welsh Government will have to face two unexpected challenges. First of all, in terms of standards, it's very likely that introducing standards for health services will ultimately, at some point, lead to more cuts and complaints, alongside more facilitation and enforcement work. Secondly, the promotion work, particularly encouraging community use of the Welsh language, must be uncompromising for an unspecified period. This will cost money; it will cost more in ensuing years, and therefore the work to date must show value for money in order to fight for an enhanced budget for ensuing years, and to ensure that the 85 per cent of people who do feel pride in the Welsh language continue to feel that pride. It's clear from the report that a great effort has been put in to influencing Welsh Government policy. There has been some reference to the impact of that, but not much in the report. The commissioner may have missed an opportunity to draw attention to her successes and to talk about earlier inputs that have started to show positive outcomes now. This isn't the place for humility in terms of demonstrating the influence the commissioner has on Government policy. In terms of securing justice for Welsh speakers, it's difficult to see, in this report anyway, the gravity of every complaint and possible failing. The Minister may be able to explain whether we will have that information in due time, to help us to assess arguments for and against the stronger dealings in certain standards. That is covered in the White Paper. It's interesting that more non-statutory concerns are raised rather than complaints about standards. Does this suggest that enforcement and facilitation is working? If so, why wait for the next assurance report? Claim that success now. In returning to the main aim according to the commissioner herself, namely promotion, the report gives a great amount of information about how the commissioner has worked with sport, banking organisations and the third sector, and that's encouraging and interesting. With more resources, more could be done to bring more sectors along the pathway towards bilingualism without focusing so narrowly on standards. But, again, I would have liked to hear more about the outcomes and efficiencies of this work, not just inputs and outputs. In a tight and highly estimated budget, otherwise, two comments: I am not sure why the programme costs line was so low when the outputs this year and - [Inaudible.] - last year were higher. It's a shame that more couldn't be given towards communication, particularly a social media strategy. It's ironic that the national aim is to enhance the ability of the nation to communicate in two languages, but there isn't enough funding available for the commissioner to do much of that herself. I would like to see the commissioner taking a visible and stronger role in engaging with non-Welsh speakers in terms of her promotion role. We need to actually turn some of the pride in the language into engagement with the language. In the strategy to create 1 million Welsh speakers, we must think about adults today, not only children and not only by providing lessons for adults, but also to give them a role in promoting the language themselves. Non-Welsh speakers can be advocates for a better bilingual environment even if they're not bilingual themselves. They can ask for more bilingual signs or technology on trains and in shops and banks, and this is a way of demonstrating their pride. Perhaps it would bring new evidence to the debate on the best way of how to secure Welsh language rights in the private sector more generally.
Welsh: A gaf i hefyd ddechrau gan groesawu'r Gweinidog i'w rôl newydd a dymuno'n dda? Efallai y gall hi ddechrau gan esbonio pam neu sut mae pleidleisio yn erbyn gwelliant 2 yn gydnaws â meddwl agored. A gaf i ddiolch i'r comisiynydd hefyd am ei hadroddiad? Syniad da yw dechrau gyda chyfrifiad 2011, am gomisiynydd sy'n ymladd am fodolaeth ei rôl, achos mae'n bownd o ddangos bod ei gwaith wedi gwella ers hynny. Fy mhrif argraff o'r adroddiad hwn yw bod y comisiynydd wedi bod braidd yn swil wrth hawlio credyd am lawer o'r llwyddiant ers 2011. Mae mewnbynnau ac allbynnau yn iawn, ond dyma un adroddiad lle'r oedd angen i'r comisiynydd frolio ei hun ar fater y canlyniadau. Mae cyllideb y comisiynydd wedi lleihau dros y blynyddoedd ac mae arbedion wedi eu gwneud, ac mae hyn wedi mynd law yn llaw a lleihad rôl hyrwyddo'r comisiynydd. P'un a fydd swyddfa'r comisiynydd yn parhau ar ei ffurf bresennol neu'n cael ei diwygio, neu unrhyw gorff newydd yn cael ei greu, bydd yn rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru wynebu dwy her annisgwyl. Yn gyntaf, o ran safonau, mae'n debygol iawn y bydd cyflwyno safonau ar gyfer gwasanaethau iechyd, yn y pen draw rhywbryd, yn arwain at fwy o doriadau a chwynion, ochr yn ochr â mwy o waith hwyluso a gorfodi. Yn ail, bydd angen i waith hyrwyddo, yn enwedig i annog defnydd cymunedol, fod yn ddi-ildio ac yn barhaus am gyfnod amhenodol. Bydd y rhain yn costio. Bydd yn costio mwy yn y blynyddoedd i ddod, felly mae'n rhaid i'r gwaith hyd yn hyn ddangos gwerth am arian er mwyn ymladd am gyllideb fwy ar gyfer y blynyddoedd i ddod ac i sicrhau bod yr 85 y cant sy'n teimlo'n falch o'r iaith yn parhau i deimlo fel hynny. Mae'n glir o'r adroddiad bod llawer o ymdrech wedi mynd i ddylanwadu ar bolisi Llywodraeth Cymru eleni. Mae rhywfaint o gyfeiriad at effaith y gwaith hwnnw, ond dim llawer, yn yr adroddiad. Efallai bod y comisiynydd wedi colli cyfle i dynnu sylw at eu llwyddiannau ac i sôn, efallai, am fewnbynnau cynharach sydd wedi dechrau dangos canlyniadau nawr. Nid yw'r adroddiad hwn yn le i fod yn wylaidd wrth ddangos dylanwad ar bolisi'r Llywodraeth. O ran sicrhau cyfiawnder i siaradwyr Cymraeg, mae'n anodd gweld, yn yr adroddiad hwn anyway, lefel ddifrifoldeb pob cwyn neu fethiant tybiedig. A allai'r Gweinidog egluro, efallai, a fydd gennym y wybodaeth honno maes o law, i'n helpu ni i asesu dadleuon dros ac yn erbyn cyffyrddiad cryfach i rai mathau o safon. Mae hwn yn dod lan yn y Papur Gwyn. Mae'n ddiddorol bod mwy o bryderon anstatudol yn codi na chwynion am safonau neu gynlluniau. A ydy hyn yn awgrymu bod hwyluso a gorfodi'n gweithio? Os felly, pam aros am yr adroddiad sicrwydd nesaf? Hawliwch y llwyddiant nawr. Gan fynd yn ôl at y brif nod yn ôl y comisiynydd ei hun, sef hyrwyddo, mae'r adroddiad yn rhoi tipyn o wybodaeth am sut mae'r comisiwn wedi bod yn gweithio gyda chyrff chwaraeon, banciau a'r trydydd sector. Mae hynny'n ddiddorol ac yn galonogol. Gyda mwy o adnoddau, rwy'n siŵr y gellid gwneud mwy i ddod â rhagor o sectorau ar hyd y llwybr i ddwyieithrwydd, heb ffocysu mor gul ar safonau. Ond eto, byddwn wedi hoffi clywed mwy am ganlyniadau effeithiolrwydd y gwaith na dim ond mewnbwn ac allbwn. Mewn cyllideb dynn ac amcangyfrifedig iawn, fel arall, dau sylw: nid wyf yn siŵr pam fod llinell costau'r rhaglen mor isel pan oedd y canlyniadau eleni ac - [ Anghlywadwy.] - y llynedd yn uwch. Mae'n drueni na ellid dyrannu mwy i gyfathrebu, yn enwedig y strategaeth gyfryngau cymdeithasol. Mae'n eironig, onid yw ef, nod cenedlaethol yw gwella gallu'r genedl i gyfathrebu mewn dwy iaith, ond nid oes digon o arian ar gael i'r comisiynydd i wneud llawer ohoni ei hun. Hoffwn weld y comisiynydd yn cymryd rôl weladwy gryfach wrth ymgysylltu â siaradwyr di-Gymraeg eu hiaith yn ei rôl hyrwyddo. Mae angen inni droi rhywfaint o'r balchder a'r gwerth yn yr iaith honno yn ymgysylltu â'r iaith. Yn y strategaeth i greu 1 miliwn o siaradwyr, rhaid meddwl am oedolion heddiw, nid yn unig y plant ac nid yn unig drwy ddarparu dosbarthiadau neu wersi i oedolion, ond darparu rôl iddyn nhw i hyrwyddo'r iaith eu hunain. Gall siaradwyr di-Gymraeg eirioli dros amgylchedd dwyieithog gwell, hyd yn oed os nad ydyn nhw'n ddwyieithog eu hunain, yn gofyn am fwy o arwyddion a thechnoleg ddwyieithog mewn trenau, siopau a banciau, ac mae hynny'n ffordd o ddangos eu balchder a'r gwerth, ac efallai y byddant yn dod â thystiolaeth newydd i'r ddadl ar y ffordd orau i arsylwi hawliau Cymraeg yn y sector preifat yn fwy cyffredin.
