English: The Measure is confused about who is meant to promote and facilitate. Specifically, it says that the commissioner has to promote and facilitate, and I know that good work has been done with shops and so on, but, also, the Government too was responsible for facilitation and promotion. And, so, you've had things happening - you've seen the badge for using the Welsh language that the commissioner has put forward, and another, entirely different, badge from the Government. So, there's been confusion for five years, and I think we've missed out on almost seven years of effective work as a result. So, we need that clarity. And, certainly, there are some things that an external body, at an arm's length, could do that civil servants can't do, and that the commissioner can't do. If the commissioner is in charge of regulation, that would be excellent, but you have things arising such as planning housing and several other areas, and there should be a status as an official consultee for an external body. You see that in the area of rural development or planning. If you want to get an opinion on the development of a housing estate, you go to an external body to see if there is a risk to birds, or in terms of water or trees, but for the Welsh language, there is no provision. So, there is no statutory role for the Welsh language in consultations of that kind. And that's why it's absolutely vital that there is an external body, at an arm's length, that is provided and established, that promotes and facilitates the Welsh language on one hand, that can co-ordinate activities on the other, but also is a statutory consultee for issues of this kind.
Welsh: Mae'r ddeddf yn gymysglyd iawn ynglŷn â phwy sydd i fod i hybu a hyrwyddo. Yn benodol iawn, mae hi'n dweud bod angen i'r comisiynydd hybu a hyrwyddo, ac rydw i'n gwybod bod gwaith da wedi digwydd gyda siopau ac yn y blaen, ond hefyd, roedd y Llywodraeth yn gyfrifol am hybu a hyrwyddo. Felly, rydych chi wedi cael pethau'n digwydd, fel bod yna fathodyn defnyddio'r Gymraeg gan y comisiynydd a bathodyn arall defnyddio'r Gymraeg gan y Llywodraeth. Felly, rydych chi wedi cael cymysgwch llwyr am bum mlynedd, ac rwy'n credu ein bod ni wedi colli bron i saith mlynedd o waith hyrwyddo effeithiol yn sgil hynny. Felly, mae'n rhaid inni gael eglurder. Yn bendant iawn, mae yna rai pethau y byddai corff allanol, lled braich, yn gallu eu gwneud nad yw gweision sifil yn gallu eu gwneud, na'r comisiynydd. Os yw'r comisiynydd yn rheoleiddio, byddai hynny'n wych iawn, ond mae gyda chi bethau yn codi fel gyda chynllunio tai, gyda sawl maes arall, ac mi ddylai fod statws ymgynghorai statudol gan gorff allanol. Rydych chi'n cael hynny'n digwydd ym maes datblygu gwledig, neu ym maes cynllunio. Os ydych chi am gael barn am godi ystâd o dai, rydych chi'n mynd at gorff allanol i wybod os oes yna berygl i adar, neu oes yna berygl o ran dŵr neu goed, ond iaith, dim o gwbl. Felly, nid oes lle statudol gan yr iaith Gymraeg mewn ymgynghoriadau o'r math yna. Dyna pam mae'n gwbl, gwbl hanfodol bod yna gorff allanol, lled braich, yn digwydd ac yn cael ei sefydlu, sydd yn hyrwyddo a hybu ar y naill law, sydd yn cydlynu gweithgareddau ar y llall, ond, hefyd, sydd yn ymgynghorai statudol ar gyfer materion felly.
