English: Oh, okay. Well, I've got your blog post in front of me here, but it very much contradicts some of the points that your colleague, sat next to you, was making. Perhaps I'll pass it on to David Rowlands a little later to read. Now, where was I? Where was I? Right. Even the people who don't use trains as well, of course, will benefit, especially in north Wales. There are benefits, of course, from job creation and apprenticeships, created at the HS2 hub at Crewe, and, of course, the better connections it will bring to north and mid Wales. We recently had a debate in this Chamber on the opportunities and challenges of the cross-border collaboration and the necessity to improve connectivity between north Wales and the emerging powerhouse in north England. Perhaps UKIP Members weren't present for the debate, but from my recollection there was widespread agreement in the Chamber that, through cementing north Wales as a crucial part of the existing new economic region, we have the potential of facilitating significant growth in mid Wales, and re-balancing the economy of Wales as well, importantly, I think, away from the over-reliance on Cardiff and south Wales. Finally, of course, the other issue is: I think it's important, of course, that the Welsh Government needs to engage effectively with the UK Government and other regional bodies as well when it comes to ensuring that services and timetabling issues are organised, to deliver the maximum benefit from HS2 to the people of north Wales. I very much hope that perhaps the Cabinet Secretary can comment on that in his contribution, but I urge Members to reject this motion today and to support our amendments.
Welsh: O, iawn. Wel, mae gennyf eich blog o fy mlaen yma, ond mae'n gwrthddweud rhai o'r pwyntiau a wnaeth eich cyd-Aelod, sy'n eistedd wrth eich ymyl, yn llwyr. Efallai y gwnaf ei drosglwyddo i David Rowlands i'w ddarllen ychydig yn nes ymlaen. Nawr, ble roeddwn i? Ble roeddwn i? Iawn. Bydd hyd yn oed y bobl nad ydynt yn defnyddio trenau yn elwa hefyd wrth gwrs, yn enwedig yng ngogledd Cymru. Mae yna fanteision, wrth gwrs, i greu swyddi a phrentisiaethau, a grëwyd yng nghanolfan HS2 yn Crewe, ac wrth gwrs, y cysylltiadau gwell a ddaw i ogledd a chanolbarth Cymru yn ei sgil. Yn ddiweddar cawsom ddadl yn y Siambr hon am y cyfleoedd a'r heriau o gydweithredu'n drawsffiniol a'r angen i wella cysylltedd rhwng gogledd Cymru a'r pwerdy sy'n dod i'r amlwg yng ngogledd Lloegr. Efallai nad oedd Aelodau UKIP yn bresennol ar gyfer y ddadl, ond o'r hyn a gofiaf, cafwyd cytundeb cyffredinol yn y Siambr fod gennym botensial, drwy gadarnhau gogledd Cymru fel rhan hanfodol o'r rhanbarth economaidd newydd sydd eisoes yn bodoli, i hwyluso twf sylweddol yng nghanolbarth Cymru, ac i ailgydbwyso economi Cymru yn ogystal, sy'n bwysig, rwy'n meddwl, i ffwrdd rhag gorddibyniaeth ar Gaerdydd a de Cymru. Yn olaf, wrth gwrs, y mater arall yw hwn: rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig, wrth gwrs, fod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ymgysylltu'n effeithiol â Llywodraeth y DU a chyrff rhanbarthol eraill hefyd i sicrhau y caiff gwasanaethau ac amserlenni eu trefnu i sicrhau manteision gorau HS2 i bobl gogledd Cymru. Rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr y gall Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet roi sylwadau ar hynny yn ei gyfraniad efallai, ond rwy'n annog yr Aelodau i wrthod y cynnig hwn heddiw ac i gefnogi ein gwelliannau.
