English: Llywydd, for months and months after the referendum of 2016, the Welsh Government worked with Plaid Cymru here to put forward a way of leaving the European Union that would have defended our economy and jobs. We published it in 'Securing Wales' Future'. It was predicated on leaving the European Union, but it showed a way of doing it that would not have sacrificed Welsh jobs, Welsh firms and Welsh communities. For month after month, we attempted to persuade the UK Government to agree with that prospectus, and it was only when it became completely clear that there was no chance at all of persuading the UK Government of a form of Brexit that would have defended Welsh interests that we decided that it was no longer possible to go on credibly advocating for that position. The way in which we respect people who voted to leave the European Union - and it is very important to respect people who take a different point of view on this most divisive issue - the way that we respect those people's view is to say that the time has come when the decision should go back into their hands and the hands of other citizens. There is nothing disrespectful in a democracy about saying to people that we would like them to have the opportunity to resolve this highly divisive matter. And our policy as a Welsh Government has been clear since the early summer: the decision should go back into the hands of citizens. When that chance comes, the Welsh Government will campaign to remain. And we do that as well out of respect for people who take a different view from us, because we have come to the conclusion, from everything that we have seen, that there is no deal better than the deal we have now, which is the deal we have through membership of the European Union. That is the best way in which Welsh families and Welsh futures can be best fashioned. We will make that case, and we will make it in a way that is respectful, both of people who want to remain in the European Union and people who take a different view. But you don't respect people by not telling them the honest position that you have come to, and everything that I have seen leads me to that conclusion - difficult as it can be in some places, where people don't agree, but I'm not prepared to go out and say to people in Wales anything other than the truth as I see it. Other people will have other truths, and a referendum will allow them to express their view as well. That's why we have reached the position we have, and I think it is respectful of all views that exist on this matter.
Welsh: Llywydd, am fisoedd a misoedd ar ôl refferendwm 2016, gweithiodd Llywodraeth Cymru gyda Phlaid Cymru yn y fan yma i gyflwyno ffordd o adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a fyddai wedi amddiffyn ein heconomi a'n swyddi. Fe'i cyhoeddwyd gennym yn 'Diogelu Dyfodol Cymru'. Roedd yn seiliedig ar adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, ond yn dangos ffordd o wneud hynny na fyddai wedi aberthu swyddi yng Nghymru, cwmnïau Cymru a chymunedau Cymru. Am fis ar ôl mis, ceisiasom berswadio Llywodraeth y DU i gytuno â'r prosbectws hwnnw, a dim ond pan ddaeth yn gwbl eglur nad oedd unrhyw siawns o gwbl o bersawdio Llywodraeth y DU o ffurf ar Brexit a fyddai wedi amddiffyn buddiannau Cymru y gwnaethom ni benderfynu nad oedd yn bosibl parhau i hyrwyddo'r safbwynt hwnnw gyda hygrededd mwyach. Y ffordd yr ydym ni'n parchu pobl a bleidleisiodd i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd - ac mae'n bwysig iawn parchu pobl sy'n arddel gwahanol safbwynt ar y mater hynod rwygol hwn - y ffordd yr ydym ni'n parchu safbwynt y bobl hynny yw dweud bod yr amser wedi dod pan ddylai'r penderfyniad ddychwelyd i'w dwylo nhw ac i ddwylo dinasyddion eraill. Nid oes unrhyw beth yn amharchus mewn democratiaeth ynghylch dweud wrth bobl yr hoffem iddyn nhw gael y cyfle i ddatrys y mater hynod rwygol hwn. Ac mae ein polisi ni fel Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn eglur ers dechrau'r haf: dylai'r penderfyniad ddychwelyd i ddwylo dinasyddion. Pan ddaw'r cyfle hwnnw, bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymgyrchu i aros. Ac rydym ni'n gwneud hynny hefyd gyda pharch at bobl sy'n arddel gwahanol safbwynt i ni, oherwydd rydym ni wedi dod i'r casgliad, o bopeth yr ydym ni wedi ei weld, nad oes unrhyw gytundeb gwell na'r cytundeb sydd gennym ni nawr, sef y cytundeb sydd gennym ni drwy aelodaeth o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Dyna'r ffordd orau y gellir sicrhau dyfodol teuluoedd Cymru a dyfodol Cymru. Byddwn yn dadlau'r achos hwnnw, a byddwn yn ei ddadlau mewn ffordd sy'n barchus, tuag at bobl sydd eisiau aros yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a phobl sydd â barn wahanol. Ond nid ydych chi'n parchu pobl trwy beidio â dweud wrthyn nhw beth yw'r safbwynt onest yr ydych chi wedi ei fabwysiadu, ac mae popeth yr wyf i wedi ei weld yn fy arwain at y casgliad hwnnw - anodd fel y mae'n gallu bod mewn rhai lleoedd, lle nad yw pobl yn cytuno, ond nid wyf i'n barod i fynd allan a dweud wrth bobl yng Nghymru unrhyw beth heblaw'r gwir fel yr wyf i'n ei weld. Bydd gan bobl eraill wirioneddau eraill, a bydd refferendwm yn caniatáu iddyn nhw fynegi eu barn hwythau hefyd. Dyna pam yr ydym ni wedi mabwysiadu'r safbwynt sydd gennym ni, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn parchu'r holl safbwyntiau sy'n bodoli ar y mater hwn.
