English: Diolch, Llywydd. I rise to move the motion on the order paper and to speak in opposition to both of the amendments. Llywydd, today marks the fifth anniversary of the historic moment when Wales, along with the rest of the United Kingdom, voted to leave the European Union. It's an inconvenient truth for many people in this Chamber, but that is the state of things. The referendum, of course, saw the highest turnout in any ballot in Wales since the 1997 general election. It gave us a clear result, which sent shockwaves through the Welsh establishment, some of whom I can hear heckling at the moment - [ Laughter. ] An astonishing 854,572 people in Wales voted to leave the EU. That's nearly twice as many as those who voted Labour in the last Senedd election, and it's 300,000 more than the ballots that were cast in favour of establishing the Senedd back in 1997. The three and a half years that followed the Brexit vote were not straightforward. The parliamentary arithmetic, and the determination of those who played politics and did not respect the will of the people and who sought to frustrate the Brexit process, made it at times very difficult and tortuous. But that painful period was brought to an end with a general election in 2019 that saw a Conservative Government elected with a whopping majority. It had a clear mandate to get Brexit done, and it was an election that saw Labour's red wall reduced to rubble in north-east Wales. The Liberal Democrats, of course, were wiped off the map - [ Interruption. ] I thought you'd like that, James. And Plaid were knocked into third place in its No. 1 target seat, Ynys Môn. Following that election, of course, Boris got Brexit done. He delivered on his pledge to the people. Llywydd, it is vital for the sake of democracy that election and referendum results are always respected and implemented. That's why I am incredibly disappointed that, in their delete-all amendments today, neither the separatists in Plaid Cymru nor the Welsh Labour Government has chosen to reflect this very important truth. Llywydd, my party did not table today's motion with the intention of opening up the divisions of the past that emerged during the Brexit debate - [ Interruption. ] It's true. It was tabled, rather, to give all Members of this Senedd the opportunity to have a full and frank debate about the opportunities that Brexit presents for Wales, and to move on from all of the division of the past five years. Yet, as we can see from the order paper, both of the parties opposite have tabled amendments that are refrains of the same sort of divisiveness, the same sort of grandstanding, that characterised their response to the referendum in 2016. They are like a scratched record, Llywydd. It's time that they moved on. Both the Labour and Plaid Cymru - [ Interruption.] Both the Labour and Plaid Cymru amendments seek to peddle the myth that the UK Government has been undermining devolution since Brexit, but nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that, thanks to Brexit, Wales now has its most powerful devolved Parliament in history. Wales has emerged with an exciting new list of responsibilities that previously resided in Brussels, and, contrary to the assertion of Labour and Plaid, the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 did not remove a single power from this Senedd. Instead, it allowed for an orderly transfer of powers that already and previously resided in the EU, and it gave them back to Parliaments here in the UK. That's what people voted for. And, in those further powers and responsibilities, there are scores of areas here in Wales that have now seen the devolution settlement further cemented in our constitution. These are not powers over obscure areas of legislation that have no impact on people's lives. They fall in significant areas, such as air quality, food labelling, the marine environment, public procurement, and the list goes on and on and on. And all of these new powers and responsibilities, if they are used well by this Welsh Government, are capable of improving the day-to-day lives of people across the nation. So, Llywydd, there has been no power grab by the UK Government following our departure from the EU. There has been no assault on devolution. I have asked time and time again for Members of the parties opposite to give me a list of the powers that have been stripped away from the Senedd as a result of the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, and I am still waiting for that list. Because the reality is, there'll be nothing on it. There is nothing on it; there's nothing on that list. I look forward to receiving it. I hope you do a better job than your predecessor, because I never received a copy. And that's because they can't produce one, because there aren't any powers that have been stripped away from this Senedd. The accusations that they have been levelling against the UK Government are nothing more than sabre rattling - sabre rattling from political parties who balk about powers being transferred from the European Union to Westminster, yet never balked when all of these powers were held in Brussels. Plaid even have the audacity, yet again today, to be tabling something before us calling for a further referendum for constitutional change. Now, as I said two weeks ago to the Members on the Plaid benches, there's no appetite for further significant constitutional change and further referendums in Wales. You made your pitch to the people of Wales in the Senedd elections last month, on the basis that you wanted independence and you wanted a referendum, and you were slapped in the face, frankly, by the Welsh electorate, who rejected your calls overwhelmingly. And, of course, the Welsh Government has accused the UK Government of aggressive centralisation in recent months - aggressive centralisation, that's what they've accused us of. The irony. It's a bit rich of the Welsh Government that's been centralising powers in Cardiff and stripping them away from local councils the length and breadth of this country for two decades to be telling the UK Government that it's a centralising Government. Absolutely unbelievable. The facts are this: the UK Government, as a result of the levelling-up fund and the shared prosperity fund, is actually decentralising power. It's decentralising power by giving local authorities a much bigger role than they've ever had before in the delivery of sizeable and significant investment in their areas. Because that's the difference between my party and the other parties represented in this Chamber: we trust local people to make local decisions for themselves. We believe that they're better able to make the decisions for themselves than people sat in ivory towers in Cardiff. That's the truth. That's the truth. Now, you'd think that the parties opposite would welcome more investment from the UK Government in Wales, and yet, they oppose it. Isn't it extraordinary? They're always asking for more money and more investment, and when the UK Government says, 'Right, we'll give it; we'll pave the way with this UK internal market Act', they turn around and say, 'We don't want it; we want to make the decisions.' Well, I'm sorry, it's unacceptable. You should not be griping about this additional resource that the UK Government wants to make available here in Wales. We don't need a Government that sticks two fingers up to the UK Government; what we need is a Government that works in collaboration with the UK Government for the benefit of the people of Wales. Because, you know what, as a result of Brexit, I've got a lot of optimism going forward. Not only will Wales benefit as a result of the shared prosperity fund and the levelling-up funds that will come into our local authorities, but we will also benefit as a result of the trade deals that have been cut with nations across the globe. Her Majesty's Government has already secured trade agreements with 67 countries and the European Union. Sixty-seven countries. Deals worth more than - . I remember some of you on those Labour benches telling us that there'd be no way that there would be a trade deal within the next decade with the European Union, and yet we have one. Yet we have one. Boris Johnson and his team have pulled the rabbit out of the hat. I know you don't like it, but that's the truth. That's the truth. We've got deals worth more than £890 billion and counting. Sixty-three per cent of UK trade is covered by those trade deals. Deals with countries as diverse as Canada, Egypt, Iceland, Japan, Kenya, Serbia, Chile, Singapore. The list goes on and on and on. And these are not trade deals that are struck by an insular United Kingdom; these are trade deals by a global Britain that wants to play an important role on the international stage. So, let's mark this wonderful anniversary of the referendum, five years ago today, by putting those divisions behind us. Let's agree to work together, to take advantage of all that Brexit affords, and let's make sure that the Welsh Government, over the next five years, works collaboratively with the UK Government for the benefit of everybody here in Wales.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Codaf i gyflwyno'r cynnig ar y papur trefn ac i siarad yn erbyn y ddau welliant. Lywydd, heddiw mae'n bum mlynedd ers y foment hanesyddol pan bleidleisiodd Cymru, ynghyd â gweddill y Deyrnas Unedig, dros adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Mae'n wirionedd anghyfleus i lawer o bobl yn y Siambr hon, ond dyna fel y mae pethau. Pleidleisiodd mwy o bobl yn y refferendwm, wrth gwrs, nag mewn unrhyw bleidlais yng Nghymru ers etholiad cyffredinol 1997. Rhoddodd ganlyniad clir inni a syfrdanodd y sefydliad Cymreig, a gallaf glywed rhai ohonynt yn heclo ar hyn o bryd - [ Chwerthin. ] Pleidleisiodd 854,572 o bobl yng Nghymru dros adael yr UE. Mae hynny bron ddwywaith cymaint â'r rhai a bleidleisiodd dros Lafur yn etholiad diwethaf y Senedd, a 300,000 yn fwy na'r nifer o bleidleisiau a fwriwyd o blaid sefydlu'r Senedd yn ôl yn 1997. Nid oedd y tair blynedd a hanner a ddilynodd bleidlais Brexit yn rhai hawdd. Roedd y rhifyddeg seneddol, a phenderfyniad y rhai a oedd yn chwarae gwleidyddiaeth ac nad oeddent yn parchu ewyllys y bobl ac a geisiai rwystro proses Brexit, yn ei gwneud hi'n anodd ac yn flinderus iawn ar adegau. Ond daeth y cyfnod poenus hwnnw i ben gydag etholiad cyffredinol yn 2019 a welodd Lywodraeth Geidwadol yn cael ei hethol gyda mwyafrif enfawr. Cafodd fandad clir i sicrhau bod Brexit yn cael ei gyflawni, ac roedd yn etholiad a welodd wal goch Llafur yn cael ei chwalu'n yfflon yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru. Cafodd y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol eu sychu oddi ar y map wrth gwrs - [ Torri ar draws. ] Roeddwn i'n meddwl y byddech chi'n hoffi hynny, James. A chafodd Plaid Cymru ei bwrw i'r trydydd safle yn ei sedd darged Rhif 1, Ynys Môn. Yn dilyn yr etholiad hwnnw, wrth gwrs, llwyddodd Boris i gyflawni Brexit. Cyflawnodd ei addewid i'r bobl. Lywydd, mae'n hanfodol er lles democratiaeth fod canlyniadau etholiadau a refferenda bob amser yn cael eu parchu a'u gweithredu. Dyna pam rwy'n hynod siomedig nad yw'r ymwahanwyr ym Mhlaid Cymru na Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru, yn eu gwelliannau dileu popeth heddiw, wedi dewis adlewyrchu'r gwirionedd pwysig hwn. Lywydd, ni chyflwynodd fy mhlaid y cynnig heddiw gyda'r bwriad o agor rhaniadau'r gorffennol a ddaeth i'r amlwg yn ystod y ddadl ar Brexit - [ Torri ar draws. ] Mae'n wir. Fe'i cyflwynwyd, yn hytrach, i roi cyfle i'r holl Aelodau o'r Senedd hon gael dadl lawn a gonest am y cyfleoedd y mae Brexit yn eu cynnig i Gymru, ac i symud ymlaen o holl raniadau'r pum mlynedd diwethaf. Ac eto, fel y gwelwn o'r papur trefn, mae'r ddwy blaid gyferbyn wedi cyflwyno gwelliannau sy'n ailadrodd yr un math o ymraniad, yr un math o siarad gorchestol, a nodweddai eu hymateb i'r refferendwm yn 2016. Maent fel record wedi torri, Lywydd. Mae'n bryd iddynt symud ymlaen. Mae gwelliannau Llafur a Phlaid Cymru - [ Torri ar draws.] Mae gwelliannau Llafur a Phlaid Cymru yn ceisio pedlera'r chwedloniaeth fod Llywodraeth y DU wedi bod yn tanseilio datganoli ers Brexit, ond ni allai dim fod ymhellach o'r gwirionedd. Diolch i Brexit, y realiti yw bod gan Gymru bellach ei Senedd ddatganoledig fwyaf pwerus mewn hanes. Mae Cymru wedi dod allan ohoni gyda rhestr newydd gyffrous o gyfrifoldebau a oedd gynt wedi'u lleoli ym Mrwsel, ac yn groes i haeriad Llafur a Phlaid Cymru, ni wnaeth Deddf Marchnad Fewnol y Deyrnas Unedig 2020 ddileu unhryw un o bwerau'r Senedd hon. Yn hytrach, fe wnaeth ganiatáu i bwerau a arferai fod wedi'u lleoli yn yr UE gael eu trosglwyddo'n drefnus, ac roedd yn eu dychwelyd i Seneddau yma yn y DU. Dyna'r hyn y pleidleisiodd pobl drosto. Ac yn y pwerau a'r cyfrifoldebau pellach hynny, mae dwsinau o feysydd yma yng Nghymru sydd bellach wedi gweld y setliad datganoli'n cael ei gadarnhau ymhellach yn ein cyfansoddiad. Nid pwerau dros feysydd deddfwriaeth aneglur nad ydynt yn cael unrhyw effaith ar fywydau pobl yw'r rhain. Maent i'w cael mewn meysydd arwyddocaol, megis ansawdd aer, labelu bwyd, yr amgylchedd morol, caffael cyhoeddus, ac mae'r rhestr yn mynd ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen. Ac mae'r holl bwerau a chyfrifoldebau newydd hyn, os cânt eu defnyddio'n dda gan y Llywodraeth hon yng Cymru, yn gallu gwella bywydau pobl o ddydd i ddydd ledled y wlad. Felly, Lywydd, ni fu unrhyw gipio pwerau gan Lywodraeth y DU ar ôl i ni adael yr UE. Ni fu unrhyw ymosodiad ar ddatganoli. Rwyf wedi gofyn dro ar ôl tro i Aelodau'r pleidiau gyferbyn roi rhestr i mi o'r pwerau sydd wedi'u cipio oddi wrth y Senedd o ganlyniad i Ddeddf Marchnad Fewnol y Deyrnas Unedig 2020, ac rwy'n dal i aros am y rhestr honno. Oherwydd y realiti yw na fydd dim arni. Nid oes dim arni; nid oes unrhyw beth ar y rhestr honno. Edrychaf ymlaen at ei derbyn. Gobeithio y gwnewch waith gwell na'ch rhagflaenydd, oherwydd ni chefais gopi. A hynny oherwydd na allant gynhyrchu un, oherwydd nid oes unrhyw bwerau wedi'u cipio oddi wrth y Senedd hon. Nid yw'r cyhuddiadau y maent wedi bod yn eu cyfeirio at Lywodraeth y DU yn ddim mwy na chlecian clefyddau - clecian clefyddau gan bleidiau gwleidyddol sy'n gwrthwynebu i bwerau gael eu trosglwyddo o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd i San Steffan, ac eto'n poeni dim pan oedd yr holl bwerau hyn yn cael eu harfer ym Mrwsel. Unwaith eto heddiw, mae Plaid Cymru yn ddigon haerllug i gyflwyno rhywbeth sy'n galw am refferendwm pellach ar newid cyfansoddiadol. Nawr, fel y dywedais bythefnos yn ôl wrth yr Aelodau ar feinciau Plaid Cymru, nid oes archwaeth am newid cyfansoddiadol sylweddol pellach a refferenda pellach yng Nghymru. Gwnaethoch osod eich stondin i bobl Cymru yn etholiadau'r Senedd y mis diwethaf, ar y sail eich bod am gael annibyniaeth a'ch bod am gael refferendwm, ac fe gawsoch slap gan etholwyr Cymru, a wrthododd eich galwadau'n llwyr. Ac wrth gwrs, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyhuddo Llywodraeth y DU o ganoli ymosodol yn ystod y misoedd diwethaf - canoli ymosodol, dyna maent wedi ein cyhuddo ohono. Yr eironi. Mae'n haerllug braidd fod Lywodraeth Cymru sydd wedi bod yn canoli pwerau yng Nghaerdydd ac yn mynd â phwerau oddi wrth gynghorau lleol ar hyd a lled y wlad am ddau ddegawd yn dweud wrth Lywodraeth y DU ei bod yn Llywodraeth sy'n canoli. Cwbl anghredadwy. Dyma'r ffeithiau: mae Llywodraeth y DU, o ganlyniad i gronfa godi'r gwastad a'r gronfa ffyniant gyffredin, mewn gwirionedd yn datganoli pŵer. Mae'n datganoli pŵer drwy roi rôl lawer mwy i awdurdodau lleol nag erioed o'r blaen yn y gwaith o gyflawni buddsoddiad mawr a sylweddol yn eu hardaloedd. Oherwydd dyna'r gwahaniaeth rhwng fy mhlaid i a'r pleidiau eraill a gynrychiolir yn y Siambr hon: rydym yn ymddiried mewn pobl leol i wneud penderfyniadau lleol drostynt eu hunain. Credwn eu bod yn gallu gwneud y penderfyniadau drostynt eu hunain yn well na'r bobl sy'n eistedd mewn tyrau ifori yng Nghaerdydd. Dyna'r gwirionedd. Dyna'r gwirionedd. Nawr, byddech yn meddwl y byddai'r pleidiau gyferbyn yn croesawu mwy o fuddsoddiad gan Lywodraeth y DU yng Nghymru, ac eto, maent yn ei wrthwynebu. Onid yw'n rhyfeddol? Maent bob amser yn gofyn am fwy o arian a mwy o fuddsoddiad, a phan ddywed Llywodraeth y DU, 'Iawn, fe wnawn ei roi; fe wnawn baratoi'r ffordd gyda Deddf marchnad fewnol y DU', maent yn dweud, 'Nid ydym ei heisiau; rydym am wneud y penderfyniadau. Wel, mae'n ddrwg gennyf, mae'n annerbyniol. Ni ddylech gwyno am yr adnodd ychwanegol y mae Llywodraeth y DU am ei ddarparu yma yng Nghymru. Nid ydym angen Llywodraeth sy'n codi dau fys ar Lywodraeth y DU; yr hyn rydym ei angen yw Llywodraeth sy'n cydweithio â Llywodraeth y DU er budd pobl Cymru. Oherwydd, wyddoch chi, o ganlyniad i Brexit, mae gennyf lawer o optimistiaeth ar gyfer y dyfodol. Nid yn unig y bydd Cymru'n elwa o ganlyniad i'r gronfa ffyniant gyffredin a'r cronfeydd codi'r gwastad a ddaw i'n hawdurdodau lleol, byddwn hefyd yn elwa o ganlyniad i'r cytundebau masnach sydd wedi'u cytuno gyda gwledydd ym mhob cwr o'r byd. Mae Llywodraeth Ei Mawrhydi eisoes wedi sicrhau cytundebau masnach gyda 67 o wledydd a'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Chwe deg saith o wledydd. Cytundebau gwerth mwy na - . Cofiaf rai ohonoch ar y meinciau Llafur yn dweud wrthym na fyddai unrhyw ffordd y ceid cytundeb masnach o fewn y degawd nesaf gyda'r Undeb Ewropeaidd, ac eto mae gennym un. Ac eto, mae gennym un. Mae Boris Johnson a'i dîm wedi cyflawni'r wyrth. Rwy'n gwybod nad ydych chi'n hoffi hynny, ond dyna'r gwir. Dyna'r gwir. Mae gennym gytundebau gwerth mwy na £890 biliwn, ac yn dal i godi. Mae 63 y cant o fasnach y DU yn dod o dan y cytundebau masnach hynny. Cytundebau gyda gwledydd mor amrywiol â Canada, yr Aifft, Gwlad yr Iâ, Japan, Kenya, Serbia, Chile, Singapôr. Mae'r rhestr yn mynd ymlaen ac ymlaen ac ymlaen. Ac nid cytundebau masnach yw'r rhain a luniwyd gan Deyrnas Unedig ynysig; mae'r rhain yn gytundebau masnach gan Brydain fyd-eang sydd am chwarae rhan bwysig ar y llwyfan rhyngwladol. Felly, gadewch inni nodi pum mlwyddiant gwych y refferendwm heddiw drwy roi'r ymraniadau y tu ôl inni. Gadewch inni gytuno i weithio gyda'n gilydd, i fanteisio ar y cyfan y mae Brexit yn ei gynnig, a gadewch inni sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru, dros y pum mlynedd nesaf, yn cydweithio â Llywodraeth y DU er budd pawb yma yng Nghymru.
