English: Diolch, Llywydd. I formally move the motion. This Bill has been produced to a challenging timetable in a period of history that is not without its own unique challenges on our usual ways of working. I would like to thank not just the officials who have put this together through an intense period of hard work, but also to the Members here whose contribution to the scrutiny of this Bill has been invaluable. In particular, I would like to express my gratitude to the Chair, members and staff of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee for the speed at which they were able to consider and report on the Bill. We brought forward a number of amendments at Stage 2 to give effect to their amendments, which have made the Bill more robust. I would also like to thank Rhun ap Iorwerth for his collaborative approach to amending this Bill. Through this approach, we were able to find a consensus on amendments that have greatly improved the Bill and the transparency of the subject matter. On the theme of transparency, I am also glad that we were able to support Mark Isherwood's amendment requiring the criteria for proposing postponement of the Senedd election to be published. As I have stated many times during the course of this Bill, it is the Government's firm view that the elections should take place, as planned, on 6 May, and that is a view shared across the Siambr. But both the Senedd and the Welsh Government need a fresh mandate, and this Bill is not intended to prevent that. However, the pandemic has shown that it does not always follow a predictable course. It would be irresponsible of us not to have a contingency plan in the event that the public health situation is such that it is unsafe for the election to run as planned. Thanks to the cross-party work on this Bill, we have both the means to ensure the election can safely happen in May, if the public health situation allows, and to hold the election as soon as possible if it does not. Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Rwy'n gwneud y cynnig yn ffurfiol. Cynhyrchwyd y Bil hwn o fewn amserlen heriol mewn cyfnod o hanes nad yw heb ei heriau unigryw ei hun i'n ffyrdd arferol o weithio. Hoffwn ddiolch nid yn unig i'r swyddogion a'i lluniodd drwy gyfnod dwys o waith caled, ond hefyd i'r Aelodau yma y mae eu cyfraniad i'r gwaith o graffu ar y Bil hwn wedi bod yn amhrisiadwy. Yn fwyaf arbennig, hoffwn ddiolch i Gadeirydd, aelodau a staff y Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a Chyfansoddiad am ystyried a chyflwyno adroddiad ar y Bil mor gyflym. Gwnaethom gyflwyno nifer o welliannau yng Nghyfnod 2 i roi grym i'w gwelliannau, gan wneud y Bil yn fwy cadarn. Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i Rhun ap Iorwerth am ei ddull cydweithredol wrth fynd ati i ddiwygio'r Bil hwn. Drwy'r dull hwn, gallasom ddod o hyd i gonsensws ar welliannau sydd wedi gwella'r Bil yn fawr ynghyd â thryloywder y deunydd dan sylw. Ar thema tryloywder, rwyf hefyd yn falch ein bod wedi gallu cefnogi gwelliant Mark Isherwood yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i gyhoeddi'r meini prawf ar gyfer y cynnig i ohirio etholiad y Senedd. Fel y dywedais droeon yn ystod taith y Bil hwn, barn gadarn y Llywodraeth yw y dylid cynnal yr etholiadau, yn ôl y bwriad, ar 6 Mai, ac mae honno'n farn a rennir ar draws y Siambr. Ond mae angen mandad newydd ar y Senedd a Llywodraeth Cymru, ac ni fwriedir i'r Bil hwn atal hynny. Fodd bynnag, mae'r pandemig wedi dangos nad yw bob amser yn dilyn trywydd y gellir ei ragweld. Byddai'n anghyfrifol inni beidio â chael cynllun wrth gefn pe bai sefyllfa iechyd y cyhoedd yn golygu nad yw'n ddiogel i'r etholiad gael ei gynnal yn ôl y bwriad. Diolch i'r gwaith trawsbleidiol ar y Bil hwn, mae gennym fodd o sicrhau y gall yr etholiad ddigwydd yn ddiogel ym mis Mai, os yw'r sefyllfa iechyd y cyhoedd yn caniatáu, yn ogystal â chynnal yr etholiad cyn gynted â phosibl os nad yw'n caniatáu hynny. Diolch.
