English: Can I thank Helen Mary Jones for her contribution, and, like Russell George, Helen Mary Jones's really incredibly constructive critique over many months, and also incredibly constructive suggestions over many months as well? I've been very fortunate as a Minister, I think, to have been able to work with excellent opposition spokespeople who have been genuinely and sincerely determined to work together with me and my officials in pursuing the best interests of Wales. And some of the suggestions that Helen Mary Jones has made today obviously are very constructive, they are very worth while in considering them. I think the point made about ambition, obviously we'd never wish to appear to be arrogant, but there is a huge success story that I think should be recognised in Wales over the last decade or more, in terms of how we've driven down unemployment to record lows. We've created a record number of jobs, a record number of businesses, and perhaps the most startling of all stats concerns economic inactivity, which still is at a rate that we would not wish to see and we will endeavour to bring that down continually, but the reduction in the level of economic inactivity to around the UK level was something many economists did not believe could happen, but we have succeeded in achieving that. So, we are incredibly ambitious, but, as I said, we don't wish to appear at any time arrogant about our ambition as a country or as a Government. I can assure Members today that, in terms of reflecting on the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, the future generations commissioner was part of the Ffenics group, which was led by Chris Nott. That convened employer organisations, key businesses with an interest in building back better, and they were able to provide us with ideas and they were able to critique our mission, and they were proving, in my view, to be invaluable in shaping a strong plan for reconstruction and recovery. And also in terms of some of the other fora in place, we obviously have the council for economic development that was utilised and we have regional working arrangements now in place with local authorities, so we were able to raise the mission at a regional level with our colleagues in local government. And it has to be said that the way that local governments have responded to the beacons has been incredibly positive. They share our belief in the 'town centre first' principle, and in investing wherever and whenever first and foremost within town centres, and I'm sure that they will help to deliver against that beacon in the months and years to come.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Helen Mary Jones am ei chyfraniad, ac, fel Russell George, am feirniadaeth wirioneddol adeiladol Helen Mary Jones dros fisoedd lawer, a hefyd awgrymiadau anhygoel o adeiladol dros fisoedd lawer hefyd? Rwyf wedi bod yn ffodus iawn fel Gweinidog, rwy'n credu, fy mod wedi gallu gweithio gyda llefarwyr rhagorol y gwrthbleidiau sydd wedi bod ac yn wirioneddol benderfynol o gydweithio â mi a'm swyddogion a hynny'n gwbl ddiffuant i geisio'r hyn sydd orau i Gymru. Ac mae rhai o'r awgrymiadau y mae Helen Mary Jones wedi'u gwneud heddiw yn amlwg yn adeiladol iawn, mae hi'n briodol iawn eu hystyried. Rwy'n credu bod y sylw a wnaed am uchelgais, yn amlwg ni fyddem ni byth yn dymuno ymddangos yn drahaus, ond mae llwyddiant ysgubol y credaf y dylid ei gydnabod yng Nghymru dros y degawd diwethaf neu fwy, o ran sut yr ydym ni wedi lleihau diweithdra i'r nifer isaf erioed. Rydym ni wedi creu'r nifer fwyaf erioed o swyddi, y nifer fwyaf erioed o fusnesau, ac efallai fod y mwyaf syfrdanol o'r holl ystadegau yn ymwneud ag anweithgarwch economaidd, sy'n dal i fod ar gyfradd nad ydym ni eisiau ei gweld a byddwn yn ymdrechu i ostwng hynny'n barhaus, ond roedd y gostyngiad yn lefel anweithgarwch economaidd i oddeutu lefel y DU yn rhywbeth nad oedd llawer o economegwyr yn credu y gallai ddigwydd, ond rydym ni wedi llwyddo i gyflawni hynny. Felly, rydym ni'n anhygoel o uchelgeisiol, ond, fel y dywedais, nid ydym ni byth eisiau ymddangos yn uchelfryd o ran ein huchelgais fel gwlad neu fel Llywodraeth. Gallaf sicrhau'r Aelodau heddiw, o ran myfyrio ar Ddeddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015, fod comisiynydd cenedlaethau'r dyfodol yn rhan o'r grŵp Ffenics, a arweiniwyd gan Chris Nott. Aeth y grŵp hwnnw ar ofyn sefydliadau cyflogwyr, busnesau allweddol â diddordeb mewn ailgodi'n well, ac roeddent yn gallu rhoi syniadau inni ac roedden nhw'n gallu beirniadu ein cenhadaeth, ac roedden nhw, yn fy marn i, yn amhrisiadwy wrth lunio cynllun cryf ar gyfer ailadeiladu ac adfer. A hefyd o ran rhai o'r fforymau eraill a sefydlwyd, mae'n amlwg bod gennym ni'r cyngor datblygu economaidd a ddefnyddiwyd ac mae gennym ni drefniadau gweithio rhanbarthol bellach ar waith gydag awdurdodau lleol, felly roeddem yn gallu sôn am y genhadaeth ar lefel ranbarthol gyda'n cydweithwyr mewn llywodraeth leol. Ac mae'n rhaid dweud bod y ffordd y mae llywodraethau lleol wedi ymateb i'r llusernau wedi bod yn anhygoel o gadarnhaol. Maen nhw'n rhannu ein cred yn yr egwyddor 'canol tref yn gyntaf', ac wrth fuddsoddi lle bynnag a phryd bynnag yn bennaf yng nghanol trefi, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddant yn helpu i gyflawni yn unol â'r llusern honno yn y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd i ddod.
