English: Well, of course, we already have a department. What we're trying to do with this new project is to ensure that this is something that is cross-governmental. Therefore, it is a different approach, yes, but we are seeking to achieve the same aims as that process. So, the task of the 2050 project will be to co-ordinate the work of planning on our journey towards 1 million Welsh speakers, from the early years, through Welsh-medium education in the statutory sector, through to post-16, and Welsh for adults. We will also double the use of the Welsh language by creating new projects and evaluating current projects. And, thirdly, we will be supporting Welsh-speaking communities by supporting policy departments across Government to ensure that our policies in all departments do contribute to that, where relevant. That is the purpose of the new project. The project will report to me, as Minister, and will work closely with the Welsh language partnership council, which advises me on the Welsh language. I am confident that through working together, the experience and expertise of the 2050 project, the partnership council, the commissioner and grant partners will all put us on the right path in reaching that target. Developing a better partnership of working with the Welsh Language Commissioner has been a priority for us this year. I'm pleased that we've agreed a memorandum of understanding, between myself and Aled Roberts, in August. Both of us are entirely clear that we must collaborate on a number of issues whilst we respect - and I want to highlight this - the independence of the commissioner in issues related to imposing and enforcing standards. Let me be clear that the Welsh Government is fully committed to developing standards in order to enhance the rights of people to access services through the medium of Welsh. Rights are an important role of the policy interventions for delivering Cymraeg 2050. New regulations are being drafted at the moment in order to provide standards for those two sectors - the water companies and healthcare regulators. And it is difficult to give a specific date, because Brexit does limit our ability and our legal capacity internally, but I can tell you that there are a number of processes to go through in terms of consultation. Of course, the committee themselves have said that they want us to consult with them at an early stage, and we will endeavour to do that. There are a number of steps, and I have discussed this with the commissioner this week. But I do hope that, next year, this will happen. The committee's report has made a number of recommendations on how we should approach simplifying standards by reviewing or merging multiple standards that have the same aim or outcome. And I agree with this. I want to reassure you that the policy objectives have not changed. I am clear that any changes made to the process of developing standards should not have a negative impact on services for Welsh speakers. I am just as firm in the view that the organisations need to be clear on what they need to deliver. But I want to underline that reducing the number of standards is not akin to simplification. I want to avoid a situation where we create fewer standards in order to create standards that are longer and more complex. And neither do I want to create simpler standards that will mean that the compliance notices that the commissioner prepares will become more complex and more onerous. The committee also said that it's only after considering the need to review the standards that the next set of regulations should be imposed or should be brought forward for the water companies and health regulators. It's important that we take our time to ensure that the regulations that we provide from here on in do reflect the lessons learned from the consultation on the White Paper and from the evidence received by the committee. We as a nation have an innovative and exciting target to reach 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050 and to double the use of the Welsh language. As a Government, we are entirely committed to both those targets, and I have been hugely encouraged that there is support across the nation for this ambition. It is an ambition that has captured the imagination of the nation, and I'm sure, together, we will reach that target.
Welsh: Wel, wrth gwrs, mae adran gyda ni eisoes. Beth rŷn ni'n ceisio ei wneud gyda'r project newydd yma yw sicrhau bod hwn yn rhywbeth sy'n mynd ar draws y Llywodraeth yn llwyr. Felly, mae hi'n ffordd wahanol o'i gwneud hi, ond rŷn ni'n ceisio cyrraedd yr un nod â'r broses yna. Tasg project 2050 fydd i gydlynu'r gwaith o gynllunio ar ein taith tuag at 1 filiwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg, o'r blynyddoedd cynnar, drwy addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg statudol ac ôl-16, i Gymraeg i oedolion. Byddwn ni hefyd yn dyblu defnydd y Gymraeg drwy greu projectau newydd a gwerthuso ein projectau cyfredol. Ac yn drydydd, byddwn yn cynnal cymunedau Cymraeg drwy gefnogi adrannau polisi ar draws y Llywodraeth i sicrhau bod ein polisïau ymhob adran berthnasol yn cyfrannu tuag at hynny. Dyna yw pwrpas y project newydd. Bydd y project yn adrodd i mi fel y Gweinidog ac yn gweithio'n glòs gyda chyngor partneriaeth y Gymraeg, sy'n fy nghynghori i ar y Gymraeg. Dwi'n ffyddiog, drwy weithio gyda'n gilydd, y bydd profiad ac arbenigedd project 2050, y cyngor partneriaeth, y comisiynydd a'n partneriaid grant i gyd yn ein rhoi ni ar y trywydd iawn i gyrraedd y nod yna. Mae datblygu partneriaeth well o weithio gyda Chomisiynydd y Gymraeg wedi bod yn flaenoriaeth i ni eleni. Rwy'n falch ein bod wedi cytuno memorandwm o gyd-ddealltwriaeth, rhyngof fi ac Aled Roberts, ym mis Awst. Mae'r ddau ohonon ni'n gwbl glir bod modd cydweithio ar nifer o faterion tra ein bod ni'n parchu - a dwi eisiau tanlinellu hyn - annibyniaeth y comisiynydd mewn materion sy'n ymwneud â gosod a gorfodi safonau. Gadewch i fi fod yn glir: mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i barhau i ddatblygu safonau er mwyn ehangu hawliau pobl i wasanaethau trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Mae hawliau yn rhan bwysig o'r ymyriadau polisi ar gyfer cyflawni Cymraeg 2050. Mae rheoliadau newydd yn cael eu datblygu ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer creu safonau i'r ddau sector newydd - cwmnïau dŵr a rheoleiddwyr gofal iechyd. Mae hi'n anodd rhoi dyddiad pendant achos bod Brexit yn cyfyngu ar ein gallu cyfreithiol yn fewnol, ond fe allaf i ddweud wrthoch chi fod yna lot o brosesau i fynd trwyddynt o ran ymgynghori. Wrth gwrs, mae'r pwyllgor eu hunain wedi dweud eu bod nhw ishe inni ymgynghori â nhw'n gynnar, a byddwn ni'n ymgymryd i wneud hynny. Mae yna sawl cam. Dwi wedi bod yn trafod hyn gyda'r comisiynydd yr wythnos yma, ond dwi yn gobeithio, y flwyddyn nesaf, y bydd hyn yn digwydd. Mae adroddiad y pwyllgor wedi gwneud nifer o argymhellion am y ffordd y dylem ni fynd ati i symleiddio'r safonau drwy adolygu neu gyfuno safonau lluosog sydd â'r un nod neu ganlyniad. A dwi'n cytuno â hyn. Dwi ishe eich sicrhau nad yw'r amcanion polisi wedi newid. Dwi'n glir na ddylai unrhyw newidiadau a wneir i'r broses o ddatblygu safonau effeithio'n negyddol ar wasanaethau i siaradwyr Cymraeg. Dwi yr un mor gadarn bod yn rhaid i'r cyrff fod yn glir am beth mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ei wneud. Ond dwi eisiau tanlinellu nad yw torri nifer y safonau yn gyfystyr â symleiddio. Dwi am osgoi sefyllfa lle rydym yn creu llai o safonau er mwyn creu safonau sy'n hirach ac yn fwy cymhleth. Dwi ddim chwaith am wneud safonau symlach a fyddai'n golygu bod yn rhaid i'r hysbysiadau cydymffurfio y mae'r comisiynydd yn eu paratoi ddod yn fwy cymhleth ac yn fwy biwrocrataidd. Dywedodd y pwyllgor hefyd mai dim ond ar ôl ystyried yr angen i adolygu'r safonau y dylid cyflwyno'r setiau nesaf o reoliadau i reoleiddwyr iechyd a chwmnïau dŵr. Mae'n bwysig, felly, ein bod ni'n cymryd ein hamser i sicrhau bod y rheoliadau rŷn ni'n eu paratoi o hyn ymlaen yn adlewyrchu'r gwersi o'r ymgynghoriad ar y Papur Gwyn a'r dystiolaeth a dderbyniodd y pwyllgor. Mae gyda ni fel gwlad gynllun blaengar a chyffrous i gyrraedd 1 filiwn o siaradwyr erbyn 2050 ac i ddyblu'r defnydd o'r Gymraeg. Fel Llywodraeth, rŷn ni wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i'r ddau darged yma, a dwi wedi fy nghalonogi'n fawr fod yna gefnogaeth ar draws y wlad i'r uchelgais yma. Mae'r uchelgais wedi dal dychymyg y genedl, a dwi'n siŵr, gyda'n gilydd, byddwn ni'n cyrraedd y targed yna.
