English: It's important to discuss two areas where Plaid Cymru has had an influence on this budget: first of all the Welsh language, and additional funding for Welsh for adults, and funding to establish a national language agency. We secured an additional £5 million for 2017-18. Plaid Cymru believes that the Welsh language belongs to everyone in Wales, and we are committed therefore to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to learn the language if they wish to do so. The additional funding for Welsh for adults will assist in enabling this programme to provide more language training for teachers and workers in the public sector, and will provide more support for parents who want to use the Welsh language more at home. Funding was also allocated for the establishment of a national language agency, which will be an arm's length body, and will offer an opportunity to provide a new and firm foundation for Welsh Government policy of regenerating the Welsh language and creating a truly bilingual Wales, including the aim of creating 1 million Welsh speakers by 2050. Our vision is an agency that will lead policy, will be responsible for a strategic overview in the area, and will have a high status among Welsh Government departments and other agencies, such as NRW and the arts council, and I very much look forward to working with the Minister to achieve that aim. In the meantime, I will continue to keep a close eye on the Welsh in education strategic plans provided by local authorities. These have to be robust, effective and ambitious, with milestones and clearly set targets. Therefore, we will be holding you to your word in that regard. I just want to say a few words on the funding allocated within the budget to a pilot scheme to reduce town-centre parking charges. Now, it's a very small amount of money, a total of £3 million for a pilot scheme in 2017-18, but it is a scheme that has engendered a great deal of debate in this Chamber and outwith it. Of course, we must bear in mind the purpose of this pot of funding. Its purpose is to assist small businesses on our high streets. Plaid Cymru is committed to assisting small businesses the length and breadth of Wales who have faced challenging times over the past few years. This funding for the pilot scheme will assist in attracting more people to our town centres. The final details and the practicalities of the pilot scheme are yet to be decided, but I have been clear that we do need a specific, allocated pot of funding so that councils can bid for funding to support reducing town centre car parking charges. In my view, distributing it through the RSG isn't going to work, and it's not acceptable. We need an allocated pot of funding for this. The proposals will then give a crucial boost to small businesses in Wales and provide a level playing field for our town centres that have been in competition with larger developments on the outskirts of our towns. How exactly this scheme works is an issue for discussion among councillors too, and it is being discussed. The details should be decided as soon as possible, and Plaid Cymru is happy to contribute to that debate. In moving on to the next period, having three-year budgeting will certainly be beneficial for our county councils so that they can make plans for the future. I'm certain that they would welcome that development. In terms of the budget and the lack of transparency within it, I agree entirely that we must move to a situation where we have an entirely transparent budget where we can scrutinise line by line. That's what someone from a local authority background is used to, and to be honest, I can't believe that such a situation can exist in this place - that we can't actually see the details that we need in order to provide a better budget ultimately, and a budget that will deliver real improvements for the people of Wales. Thank you.
Welsh: Mae'n bwysig i ni sôn am ddau faes lle mae Plaid Cymru wedi cael dylanwad ar y gyllideb yma: y Gymraeg i ddechrau, a chyllid ychwanegol i Gymraeg i oedolion, ac arian i sefydlu asiantaeth iaith genedlaethol. Fe sicrhawyd £5 miliwn ychwanegol ar gyfer 2017-18. Mae Plaid Cymru yn credu bod yr iaith Gymraeg yn perthyn i bawb yng Nghymru, ac rydym wedi ymrwymo felly i sicrhau bod gan bawb y cyfle i ddysgu'r iaith petai nhw'n dymuno gwneud hynny. Mi fydd yr arian ychwanegol ar gyfer Cymraeg i oedolion yn helpu i alluogi'r rhaglen yma i ddarparu mwy o hyfforddiant iaith i athrawon a gweithwyr cyhoeddus, ac yn rhoi mwy o gefnogaeth i rieni sydd eisiau defnyddio mwy o'r iaith yn y cartref. Fe neilltuwyd arian hefyd ar gyfer sefydlu asiantaeth iaith, hyd braich, i'r Gymraeg, a fydd yn gyfle rŵan i osod sylfaen newydd a chadarn i bolisi Llywodraeth Cymru o adfywio'r iaith a chreu Cymru wirioneddol ddwyieithog, gan gynnwys y nod o greu 1 miliwn o siaradwyr erbyn 2050. A'n gweledigaeth ni ydy asiantaeth a fydd yn arwain polisi, yn gyfrifol am arolwg strategol yn y maes, ac yn meddu ar statws uchel ymhlith adrannau Llywodraeth Cymru ac asiantaethau eraill, fel Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru a chyngor y celfyddydau, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gydweithio efo'r Gweinidog i gyrraedd y nod hwnnw. Yn y cyfamser, mi fyddaf i'n dal i gadw golwg ar y cynlluniau strategol addysg Gymraeg gan yr awdurdodau lleol. Mae'n rhaid i'r rhain fod yn rhai cadarn, effeithiol ac uchelgeisiol, gyda cherrig milltir a thargedau clir. Felly, mi fyddwn yn eich dal chi at eich gair efo hynny. Jest gair am gyllid sydd wedi ei neilltuo yn y gyllideb i gynllun peilot i leihau taliadau parcio yng nghanol trefi. Rŵan, swm bychan o arian, cyfanswm o £3 miliwn ar gyfer cynllun peilot yn 2017-18, ond cynllun sydd wedi ennyn dipyn o drafodaeth yn y Siambr yma a thu draw. Wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid cofio beth yw pwrpas y pot yma o bres. Ei bwrpas yw helpu busnesau bach ar y stryd fawr. Mae'r blaid wedi ymrwymo i helpu busnesau bach ledled Cymru sydd wedi wynebu amodau heriol dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Mi fydd yr arian ar gyfer cynllun peilot yn helpu i ddenu mwy o bobl i ganol ein trefi. Mae manylion terfynol ymarferol y cynllun peilot eto i'w penderfynu, ond rydw i wedi bod yn glir bod angen pot o arian penodol wedi'i glustnodi, fel y gall cynghorau wneud cais am gyllid i gefnogi gostwng taliadau parcio yng nghanol trefi. Yn fy marn i, nid yw ei rannu fo drwy'r RSG ddim yn mynd i weithio ac nid yw'n dderbyniol. Mae angen pot o arian neilltuol. Mi fyddai'r cynlluniau wedyn yn rhoi hwb hanfodol i fusnesau bach yng Nghymru ac yn rhoi maes chwarae gwastad i ganol trefi sydd wedi gorfod cystadlu gyda datblygiadau mwy ar gyrion trefi. Mae sut yn union fydd y cynllun yma yn gweithio yn bwnc trafod brwd ymhlith cynghorwyr hefyd, a gorau po gyntaf y caiff y manylion eu cytuno a'u cyhoeddi. Mae Plaid Cymru yn hapus iawn i gyfrannu i'r drafodaeth honno. Wrth symud ymlaen i'r cyfnod nesaf, mi fydd cael cyllideb tair blynedd yn sicr yn rhywbeth bendithiol ar gyfer y cynghorau sir, ar gyfer cynllunio ymlaen, ac mi fyddan nhw'n sicr o fod yn croesawu hynny. Ynglŷn â'r gyllideb a'r diffyg tryloywder, rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr bod yn rhaid inni symud tuag at sefyllfa lle mae gennym gyllideb gwbl dryloyw lle mae modd craffu llinell wrth linell. Dyna y mae rhywun sydd o gefndir llywodraeth leol wedi arfer ei wneud, ac a bod yn hollol onest, ni fedraf gredu bod y ffasiwn sefyllfa yn bodoli yn y lle yma - bod yna ddim modd inni fedru gweld y manylder rydym angen ei weld er mwyn creu gwell gyllideb yn y pen draw, cyllideb fydd yn delifro gwelliannau i bobl Cymru. Diolch.
