English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, for that answer. We on this side of the Chamber have obviously lost confidence in Natural Resources Wales after a sequence of scandals, disasters and reports that have indicated even staff themselves within the organisation have very little confidence in the senior management. That is something that is highly regrettable given the very important role that Natural Resources Wales fulfils. It was set up some years ago now and should be performing far better. The Public Accounts Committee report says that much of the actions it looked at defy logic and actually go further than incompetence when you're talking about the tens of millions of pounds that these contracts were involved in in the timber industry. Grant Thornton are undertaking a piece of work at the moment on behalf of Natural Resources Wales. It gets to a point where you really have to start calling time on these things and actually rebooting an organisation so that it can actually focus on what its priorities should be. Do you not think now is that time, even though you've indicated your support for NRW? In its five years, we have stood here time and time again with topical questions and urgent questions, and, from the sector itself, the confidence is just not there to see this organisation through to actually what it was originally intended to do - to be that guardian of the environment. Now is the time to reform it and actually take away the environmental element and put it on its own two feet with the regulation element in a separate body, and to get on with the job of having an environment here in Wales that is a beacon of what we want the rest of the world to follow.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am yr ateb hwnnw, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Yn amlwg, rydym ni ar yr ochr hon i'r Siambr wedi colli hyder yn Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ar ôl cyfres o sgandalau, trychinebau ac adroddiadau sydd wedi dangos nad oes gan staff y sefydliad hyd yn oed fawr o hyder yn yr uwch-reolwyr. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth sy'n destun gofid mawr o ystyried y rôl bwysig iawn y mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn ei chyflawni. Cafodd ei sefydlu rai blynyddoedd yn ôl bellach a dylai fod yn perfformio'n llawer gwell. Mae adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus yn dweud bod llawer o'r camau gweithredu yr edrychodd arnynt yn afresymegol, a'r tu hwnt i fod yn anghymwys, mewn gwirionedd, pan soniwch am y degau o filiynau o bunnoedd a oedd ynghlwm wrth y contractau hyn yn y diwydiant coed. Mae Grant Thornton yn gwneud gwaith ar ran Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ar hyn o bryd. Mae'n cyrraedd pwynt lle mae'n rhaid i chi roi diwedd ar y pethau hyn ac adnewyddu sefydliad fel y gall ganolbwyntio ar yr hyn a ddylai gael blaenoriaeth ganddo mewn gwirionedd. Onid ydych yn credu mai dyma'r amser i wneud hynny, er eich bod wedi dangos eich cefnogaeth i Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru? Yn y pum mlynedd ers iddo gael ei sefydlu, rydym wedi sefyll yma dro ar ôl tro gyda chwestiynau amserol a chwestiynau brys, ac nid oes digon o hyder yn y sector ei hun i sicrhau y bydd y sefydliad hwn yn cyflawni'r hyn y bwriadwyd iddo ei wneud yn wreiddiol mewn gwirionedd - sef gwarchod yr amgylchedd. Nawr yw'r amser i'w ddiwygio a chael gwared ar yr elfen amgylcheddol a'i rhoi ar ei thraed ei hun gyda'r elfen reoleiddiol mewn corff ar wahân, a bwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith o sicrhau bod yr amgylchedd yma yng Nghymru yn symbol o'r hyn rydym eisiau i weddill y byd ei efelychu.
