English: Thank you. Clearly, we would not wish to exclude people who are, for example, shielding, or extremely vulnerable groups, and, as I said, eligibility existing under current legislation for proxy voting would continue accordingly, and we are here only talking about voting on polling day, not otherwise, where normal rules would also continue to apply. I believe that invalidates the Minister's perhaps somewhat scaremongering response and instead seeks to focus the purpose of this Bill on the issue it's solely supposed to be about, which is the pandemic, whilst ensuring the other proxy eligibility criteria continue as normal to protect everyone else. I therefore urge Members to support it.
Welsh: Diolch. Yn amlwg, ni fyddem am eithrio pobl sydd, er enghraifft, yn gwarchod, neu'n grwpiau eithriadol o agored i niwed, ac fel y dywedais, byddai cymhwysedd sy'n bodoli eisoes o dan y ddeddfwriaeth bresennol ar gyfer pleidleisio drwy ddirprwy yn parhau'n unol â hynny, ac nid ydym ond yn sôn yma am bleidleisio ar ddiwrnod yr etholiad, nid fel arall, lle byddai rheolau arferol yn parhau i fod yn gymwys hefyd. Credaf fod hynny'n dirymu ymateb y Gweinidog a oedd yn codi bwganod braidd, ac yn hytrach, mae'n canolbwyntio diben y Bil hwn ar y mater y mae i fod i ymwneud ag ef yn unig, sef y pandemig, gan sicrhau bod y meini prawf cymhwysedd eraill ar gyfer pleidleisio drwy ddirprwy yn parhau fel arfer i ddiogelu pawb arall. Felly, rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i'w gefnogi.
English: The question is that amendment 14 be agreed. Does any Member object? [ Objection.] Yes. We'll to a vote on amendment 14. Open the vote.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn felly yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 14? A oes unrhyw wrthwynebiad? [ Gwrthwynebiad.] Oes. Felly, cawn ni bleidlais ar welliant 14. Agor y bleidlais.
English: Your vote is cast. All votes cast.
Welsh: Mae eich pleidlais wedi'i bwrw. Pob pleidlais wedi'u bwrw.
English: Close the vote. In favour 11, five abstentions, 36 against, and therefore amendment 14 is not agreed.
Welsh: Cau'r bleidlais, felly. O blaid 11, pump yn ymatal, 36 yn erbyn, ac felly mae gwelliant 14 wedi ei wrthod.
English: We have reached the end of our Stage 3 consideration of the Welsh Elections (Coronavirus) Bill, and I declare that all sections of the Bill are deemed agreed. Also, in accordance with Standing Order 26.50A, I can confirm that, in my view, the provisions of the Welsh Elections (Coronavirus) Bill do not relate to a protected subject matter.
Welsh: Dyna ni, felly. Dŷn ni wedi dod i ddiwedd ein hystyriaeth o Gyfnod 3 o Fil Etholiadau Cymru (Coronafeirws), ac rwy'n datgan y bernir bod pob adran o'r Bil a phob Atodlen iddo wedi'u derbyn. Hefyd, yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 26.50A, gallaf gadarnhau nad yw darpariaethau'r Bil Etholiadau Cymru (Coronafeirws) yn ymwneud â phwnc a warchodir yn fy marn i.
English: The final item of business therefore is the Stage 4 motion to approve the Welsh Elections (Coronavirus) Bill, and I call on the Minister for Housing and Local Government to move that motion - Julie James.
Welsh: Yr eitem olaf felly yw'r cynnig i gymeradwyo'r Bil etholiadau Cymru, Cyfnod 4 y Bil, ac rwy'n galw ar y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol i wneud y cynnig hwnnw - Julie James.
English: All legislation should pass the merit test of doing what it says on the tin, and that's particularly essential when that is emergency legislation. So, our amendments sought to ensure that this would be the case. It is therefore both regrettable and concerning that all but one of these were defeated, and, in consequence, that avoidable allegations about the First Minister's motives are bound to be raised if he does choose to exercise the powers given to him by this Bill. The people deserve better. We understand that the Welsh Government needs some flexibility if coronavirus cases surge in the weeks preceding the current election date. However, the UK Government has made it clear that local and police and crime commissioner elections will be taking place on 6 May, with a robust delivery plan that minimises the risk of spreading the coronavirus, and the Welsh Government should be putting all its efforts into ensuring that this also happens for the Senedd election. The Welsh Government have failed throughout this Bill's process to state what the criteria would be to trigger a delay in the election, and it refused to back our proposals, except for welcome support for one amendment, at each stage, to include this in the Bill. For these reasons, we will be abstaining on this Bill.
Welsh: Dylai pob deddfwriaeth basio'r prawf teilyngdod o wneud yr hyn y mae'n ei ddweud ar y label, ac mae hynny'n arbennig o hanfodol pan fo'n ddeddfwriaeth frys. Felly, ceisiodd ein gwelliannau sicrhau bod hyn yn digwydd. Mae'n destun gofid felly, ac yn peri pryder fod pob un ond un o'r rhain wedi'u trechu, ac o ganlyniad, fod honiadau y gellid bod wedi eu hosgoi am gymhellion y Prif Weinidog yn sicr o gael eu gwyntyllu os yw'n dewis arfer y pwerau a roddwyd iddo gan y Bil hwn. Mae'r bobl yn haeddu gwell. Deallwn fod angen rhywfaint o hyblygrwydd ar Lywodraeth Cymru os ceir ymchwydd yn nifer yr achosion o'r coronafeirws yn yr wythnosau cyn dyddiad presennol yr etholiad. Fodd bynnag, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi dweud yn glir y bydd etholiadau lleol ac etholiadau comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu yn cael eu cynnal ar 6 Mai, gyda chynllun cyflawni cadarn sy'n lleihau'r risg o ledaenu'r coronafeirws, a dylai Llywodraeth Cymru ganolbwyntio ei hymdrechion ar sicrhau bod hyn yn digwydd ar gyfer etholiad y Senedd hefyd. Drwy gydol proses y Bil hwn, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi methu nodi beth fyddai'r meini prawf i sbarduno gohiriad i'r etholiad, a heblaw am gefnogaeth sydd i'w chroesawu i un gwelliant, gwrthododd gefnogi ein cynigion ym mhob Cyfnod i gynnwys hyn yn y Bil. Am y rhesymau hyn, byddwn yn ymatal ar y Bil hwn.
English: This is a Bill that nobody wants to see. We're all eager to see the people of Wales deciding as soon as possible, on the day appointed - 6 May - as to who should formulate the Welsh Government for the next years. But, the crisis that we have lived through has been unprecedented in modern times, and the truth is that this virus is not one that respects the democratic process. However, I don't believe that we should have followed such a last-minute process to get to this point, but, having adopted an emergency process, I am confident that we have concluded with a Bill that is far stronger than it was at the beginning of the process. And what I mean by that is that it is more likely to secure fairness and equity for candidates, to those responsible for elections and, above all, to the constituents of Wales and the democratic process itself. As I've said on a number of occasions, this is a Bill, yes, to allow postponement if absolutely necessary, but also to allow the staging of an election. And yes, it allows postponement if necessary - if truly necessary - in order to secure a fair election in the face of the pandemic, but it should also help to ensure that an election can be held and that a comprehensive debate can be had with the people of Wales if that election is held, as we all hope to see, on 6 May.
Welsh: Mae hwn yn Fil nad oes unrhyw un yn dymuno bod ei angen. Rydyn ni i gyd yma'n eiddgar i bobl Cymru gael penderfynu mor fuan â phosib ar y dyddiad a bennwyd yn wreiddiol - 6 Mai - pwy ddylai gael ffurfio Llywodraeth Cymru am y blynyddoedd nesaf. Ond, mae'r argyfwng rydyn ni wedi bod drwyddo fo wedi bod yn un digynsail yn yr oes fodern, a'r gwir ydy bod y feirws yma ddim yn un sydd yn parchu'r broses ddemocrataidd. Dwi ddim, serch hynny, yn credu bod rhaid inni fod wedi dilyn proses mor funud olaf â hyn, ond, o ddilyn proses frys hyd yn oed, dwi'n hyderus ein bod ni wedi diweddu efo Bil sydd lawer cryfach nag oedd gennym ni ar ddechrau'r broses. A beth dwi'n feddwl wrth 'cryfach' ydy ei fod o'n fwy tebyg o ganiatáu tegwch i ymgeiswyr, i drefnwyr etholiadau ac, uwchlaw popeth, i etholwyr Cymru a'r broses ddemocrataidd ei hun. Fel dwi wedi'i ddweud droeon, Bil ydy hwn, ie, i ganiatáu oedi pe bai rhaid, ond hefyd i ganiatáu cynnal etholiad. Ydy, mae o'n caniatáu gohirio os oes angen hynny - os oes wir angen hynny - er mwyn sicrhau etholiad teg yn wyneb y pandemig, ond hefyd mi ddylai fo rŵan helpu i sicrhau bod modd cynnal etholiad a chael trafodaeth gynhwysfawr efo pobl Cymru os caiff yr etholiad ei gynnal fel rydyn ni eisiau ei weld ar 6 Mai.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. I thank the Members I mentioned earlier for their contributions to the debate. If the Bill is passed today, we will make every effort to see it become law as soon as possible. We will continue to work closely with returning officers, electoral administrators, the Electoral Commission, the other Governments within the UK and everyone else involved in this year's elections, to enable our voters to participate in the democratic process in these unprecedented times. And through the duties placed upon us by the Bill and our wider work, we will keep Members fully informed about preparations for 6 May. I would just like to mention once more to Members, as I have mentioned several times during this debate, that we are working very closely with the UK Government, who also take a pragmatic approach to this matter, and although they have at this point in time made it clear that they'd like the elections to go ahead, that is no different from what we have said. We would like the elections to go ahead as well. This is merely a pragmatic approach to ensuring that the democratic process can continue, and as many Members have seen, if the pandemic takes one of the unexpected turns that we know only too well it can take in these unprecedented times. So, for those reasons, I commend this Bill to the Senedd and hope that all Members will feel able to agree with it. Diolch, Llywydd.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Diolch i'r Aelodau y soniais amdanynt yn gynharach am eu cyfraniadau i'r ddadl. Os caiff y Bil ei basio heddiw, byddwn yn gwneud pob ymdrech i'w weld yn dod yn gyfraith cyn gynted â phosibl. Byddwn yn parhau i weithio'n agos gyda swyddogion canlyniadau, gweinyddwyr etholiadol, y Comisiwn Etholiadol, y Llywodraethau eraill yn y DU a phawb arall sy'n rhan o'r etholiadau eleni, er mwyn galluogi ein pleidleiswyr i gymryd rhan yn y broses ddemocrataidd yn y cyfnod digynsail hwn. A thrwy'r dyletswyddau a osodir arnom gan y Bil a'n gwaith ehangach, byddwn yn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau am y paratoadau ar gyfer 6 Mai. Hoffwn sôn unwaith eto wrth yr Aelodau, fel y soniais droeon yn ystod y ddadl hon, ein bod yn gweithio'n agos iawn gyda Llywodraeth y DU, sydd hefyd wedi mabwysiadu ymagwedd bragmatig at y mater hwn, ac er eu bod wedi dweud yn glir ar yr adeg hon yr hoffent i'r etholiadau fynd rhagddynt, nid yw hynny'n wahanol i'r hyn rydym ni wedi'i ddweud. Hoffem ninnau i'r etholiadau fynd rhagddynt hefyd. Dull pragmatig yw hwn o sicrhau y gall y broses ddemocrataidd barhau, ac fel y mae llawer o Aelodau wedi gweld, os yw'r pandemig yn datblygu mewn ffordd annisgwyl fel y gwyddom yn iawn y gall yn y cyfnod digynsail hwn. Felly, am y rhesymau hynny, rwy'n cymeradwyo'r Bil hwn i'r Senedd ac yn gobeithio y bydd pob Aelod yn teimlo y gall gytuno ag ef. Diolch, Lywydd.
English: In accordance with Standing Order 26.50C, a recorded vote must be taken on Stage 4 motions. Therefore, I call for a vote on the motion to approve Welsh Elections (Coronavirus) Bill. Open the vote. In favour 36, nine abstentions and five against. Therefore, the Stage 4 motion is agreed.
Welsh: Yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 26.50C, rhaid cynnal pleidlais wedi ei chofnodi ar gynigion Cyfnod 4. Felly, dwi'n galw am bleidlais ar y cynnig i gymeradwyo Bil Etholiadau Cymru (Coronafeirws). Agor y bleidlais. O blaid 36, yn ymatal naw, pump yn erbyn. Felly, mae'r bleidlais ar y cynnig yna o dan Gyfnod 4 wedi ei gymeradwyo.
English: And that brings today's proceedings to a close. I thank you all for your collaboration over two busy days of voting, and I thank all officials who've worked behind the scenes to make that work as effectively as possible and to have done so remotely. So, good evening to you all.
Welsh: A dyna ni. Dyna ddiwedd ar ein gwaith am y dydd heddiw. Diolch i chi i gyd am eich cydweithrediad dros ddau ddiwrnod trwm o bleidleisio, a diolch i'r holl swyddogion sydd wedi gweithio tu ôl i'r llenni i ganiatáu i hynny fod mor effeithiol ag oedd yn bosib ac o bell. Felly, nos da i chi i gyd.
English: Yes. Thank you, First Minister. I just want to ask about the culture budget. We understood from the Deputy Minister when he came to committee that that was to come to an end - in the context of COVID, of course - in March. Can you give us confirmation as to whether any additional funding is dependent on what will emerge from Westminster, or any Barnett consequential? Because people in this sector, of course, have been out of work for over a year now, because of the dreadful restrictions on this sector. I do understand that additional funding has been provided for freelancers, and we welcome that announcement that was made over the past few days. But can you just expand on the wider budget and what the implications are post March? Because I'm sure that many people will be watching and wanting to know what their financial future will look like.
Welsh: Ie. Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Rwyf i jest eisiau gofyn ynglŷn â'r gyllideb ar gyfer diwylliant. Dŷn ni'n deall, ers pan ddaeth y Dirprwy Weinidog i mewn i'r pwyllgor, bod hynny'n dod i ben - yng nghyd-destun COVID, wrth gwrs - ym mis Mawrth. Allwch chi roi cadarnhad inni a ydy unrhyw arian ychwanegol yn dibynnu ar beth fydd yn dod o San Steffan, neu unrhyw fath o consequential Barnett? Oherwydd mae pobl yn sector yma wedi bod allan o waith ers dros flwyddyn nawr, yn sgil y cyfyngiadau mwyaf enbyd ar y sector yma, wrth gwrs. Dwi'n deall bod arian ychwanegol wedi dod o ran gweithwyr llawrydd - a dŷn ni'n croesawu hynny - yn y dyddiau diwethaf, ond allwch chi jest esbonio ynglŷn â'r gyllideb fwy a beth yw goblygiadau hynny ar ôl mis Mawrth? Achos rwy'n siŵr bydd lot o bobl yn gwylio hwn ac eisiau gwybod beth yw'r dyfodol ariannol iddyn nhw.
English: Thank you to Bethan Sayed for those questions. I acknowledge everything that she has said about the impact of coronavirus on the sector. That's why I was eager yesterday to announce further support for those working as freelancers in this sector, which has suffered so much during the pandemic. If I could just highlight some figures to committee members, for the next financial year, in terms of COVID, what we have as a Government is £766 million. Now, that sounds like a huge figure, but just to say that, in this financial year, there was £5 billion available to us for the same ends. We can use the funds that we have in any way that we as a Government decide, with the agreement of the Senedd, of course. Rebecca Evans will be bringing forward new ideas in the final budget to demonstrate how we are going to spend the money we have in the next financial year. But we also expect, in the Chancellor's budget on 3 March, to have further details beyond the funding that we already have. It will come to us through the Barnett formula, but it's our decision as to how we use any funds coming to the Senedd.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr i Bethan Sayed am y cwestiynau. Dwi'n cydnabod popeth mae hi'n ei ddweud am effaith coronafeirws ar y sector a dyna pam roeddwn i'n awyddus ddoe i gyhoeddi mwy o gymorth i bobl sy'n gweithio fel freelancers yn y sector sydd wedi dioddef yn ystod y pandemig heb waith, ac yn y blaen. Jest i ddangos y ffigurau i aelodau'r pwyllgor, am y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf, at bwrpasau COVID, beth sydd gyda ni fel Llywodraeth yw £766 miliwn. Mae hynny'n swnio fel ei fod yn swm mawr iawn, ond jest i ddweud, yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon, roedd £5 biliwn gyda ni at yr un pwrpasau. Rŷn ni'n gallu defnyddio'r arian sydd gyda ni mewn unrhyw ffordd rŷn ni'n cytuno, fel Llywodraeth ac fel mae'r Senedd yn ei gytuno. Bydd Rebecca Evans yn dod ymlaen gyda syniadau a sylwadau eraill yn y gyllideb derfynol i ddangos sut rŷn ni'n mynd i drio gwario'r arian sydd gyda ni yn y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf. Ond rŷn ni'n disgwyl hefyd, yng nghyllideb y Canghellor yn San Steffan ar 3 Mawrth, mwy o fanylion y tu hwnt i'r arian sydd gyda ni ar hyn o bryd. Mae'n dod atom ni drwy'r fformiwla Barnett, ond yn ein dwylo ni mae'r penderfyniadau ar sut i ddefnyddio unrhyw swm o arian sy'n dod at y Senedd.
English: Thank you very much for that. We will be keeping a close eye on that funding. I have just one further question. We've heard a lot from the culture and the sport sector - the committee has focused on sport whilst I've been away on maternity, so I think it's important to recognise that - that there's been a lack of a pathway to opening some of the sector. Theatres haven't been able to open, stadia in Wales haven't been able to stage sporting events, and what they're asking for is some sort of route-map towards reopening. We've heard from Dafydd Elis-Thomas, who said that that's virtually impossible, because of the current situation. We understand that, to a certain extent, because coronavirus is constantly changing and because of the new variants. But people in these two sectors really want to have some sort of idea as to whether they will be able to reopen partially. For example, in England, pubs have reopened when there hasn't been a lockdown and they've allowed some musicians to play while alcohol is being served. So, is there a way to be creative with the rules, when those possibilities of reopening emerge? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am hynny. Byddwn ni'n cadw golwg ar y gyllideb honno. Jest cwestiwn clou arall sydd gen i. Dŷn ni'n clywed lot gan y sector diwylliant a'r sector chwaraeon - mae'r pwyllgor wedi ffocysu ar chwaraeon tra dwi wedi bod ar gyfnod mamolaeth, so dwi'n credu ei bod yn bwysig i gydnabod hynny - bod yna ddiffyg llwybr i agor rhai o'r prosiectau hyn. Dyw theatrau ddim wedi agor, dyw'r rhelyw o chwaraeon ddim wedi gallu cael gemau mawr yma yng Nghymru, a beth maen nhw'n gofyn am yw rhyw fath o route-map ar gyfer creu'r posibiliad o ailagor eto. Dŷn ni wedi clywed gan Dafydd Elis-Thomas, sydd wedi dweud bod hwnna braidd yn amhosib oherwydd y sefyllfa sydd ohoni. Dŷn ni'n deall hynny i ryw raddau, oherwydd bod coronafeirws yn newid ac oherwydd y straenau newydd sy'n dod, ond eto i gyd, mae pobl yn y ddau sector penodol yma rili eisiau cael rhyw fath o syniad os byddan nhw'n gallu ailagor i raddau. Er enghraifft, yn Lloegr, mae tafarndai wedi ailagor pan nad oedd yna gyfnod clo ac wedi caniatáu i rai cerddorion chwarae, tra bod, er enghraifft, alcohol yn cael ei wasanaethu hefyd. Felly, oes yna ffordd i fod yn greadigol, wedyn, gyda'r rheolau, pan fydd y posibiliad yna o ailagor yn digwydd? Diolch.
English: I do want to see our response here in Wales being creative. It is very difficult to provide any assurances to people. In every sector, people are seeking those assurances: 'When will this be possible?', 'When can that reopen?' The answer is that we are living in a period of such great uncertainty, we simply don't know what's happening month upon month. So, we can't give people real assurances to say, 'Well, this will be possible by Easter', or whatever the date may be. In the plan that we published on 14 December, where we put the alert levels in place, those levels do demonstrate what can happen at each and every level. The hope was that that could help the various sectors, to show them where they are in terms of those alert levels. When we do move from one level to another, if things continue to improve through the spring, I do want to be creative in our response, to see whether there are new possibilities, so that we can provide pathways to people working in both culture and sport with further opportunities to return to work. But everything, of course, will depend on the context that we face at that time. There are some things in our hands, but there are many other things that not one of us can predict in terms of what will happen in the context of coronavirus.
Welsh: Dwi eisiau gweld yr ymateb yma yng Nghymru yn un creadigol. Mae'n anodd dros ben i roi sicrwydd i bobl. Ym mhob sector, mae pobl yn gofyn am sicrwydd: 'Pryd fydd hi'n bosib gwneud hyn?', 'Pryd fydd hwnna'n gallu ailagor?' Yr ateb yw ein bod ni'n byw mewn cyfnod mor ansicr, dŷn ni jest ddim yn gwybod beth sy'n digwydd o fis i fis. Dŷn ni ddim yn gallu rhoi sicrwydd go iawn a dweud wrth bobl, 'Bydd hwnna'n bosib erbyn y Pasg', neu beth bynnag. Yn y cynllun wnaethon ni ei gyhoeddi nôl ar 14 Rhagfyr, roedden ni'n rhoi'r lefelau ac mae'r lefelau yn dangos beth sy'n gallu digwydd ar bob lefel. So, y gobaith oedd bod hwnna yn mynd i fod yn help i'r sectorau, i ddangos ble maen nhw ar y lefelau. Pan dŷn ni yn symud o un lefel i'r llall, os mae pethau'n dal i fynd yn well drwy'r gwanwyn, wel dwi eisiau bod yn greadigol, i weld a oes posibiliadau newydd dŷn ni'n gallu eu creu, ryw ffordd, i bobl sy'n gweithio yn y maes diwylliant, ac yn y maes chwaraeon hefyd, i roi mwy o gyfleon i bobl i ddod nôl i'r gwaith. Ond bydd popeth yn dibynnu ar y cyd-destun dŷn ni'n ei wynebu ar y pryd. Mae rhai pethau yn ein dwylo ni, ond mae lot o bethau - does dim un ohonom ni yn gallu rhagweld beth sy'n gallu digwydd yng nghyd-destun coronafeirws.
English: Thank you, Chair, and good afternoon, Minister. With regard to Wales in the UK, obviously, there are different sections to our questioning this afternoon, but this first section will focus on Wales in the UK. We are still there, of course. Could I ask you what impact Brexit has had on the UK constitution, and on devolution in Wales in particular?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd, a phrynhawn da, Weinidog. Yn nhermau Cymru o fewn y Deyrnas Unedig, yn y lle cyntaf, mae yna wahanol adrannau i'r cwestiynu y prynhawn yma, ond y sesiwn yma fydd ar Gymru yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Rydyn ni'n dal yn y fan honno. A allaf i ofyn ichi, beth ydych chi'n feddwl ynghylch yr effaith y mae Brexit wedi'i gael ar gyfansoddiad y Deyrnas Unedig, ac ar ddatganoli yng Nghymru yn benodol?
English: Thank you very much for that. In addition to that, can you update the committee on the progress of the inter-governmental relations review, and can you confirm when that's expected to be published?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am hynna, ac ar gefn hynna, allaf i ofyn i chi ddiweddaru'r pwyllgor ar gynnydd yr adolygiad o gysylltiadau rhynglywodraethol, a chadarnhau pryd y mae disgwyl iddo gael ei gyhoeddi?
