English: Diolch, Llywydd. I'd like to thank Members for their support. I'd also like to thank everyone who has contributed to getting these regulations to this stage, and I'd like to begin with my officials in the office of the Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales, who have been well supported by other colleagues throughout Welsh Government to ensure that we were able to bring these regulations forward before the end of term. I also want to acknowledge the determined lobbying by individuals, and that includes Members of the Senedd and also third sector organisations on this issue. In relation to some of the questions raised by Members, I will just emphasise again that these regulations go beyond Lucy's law, and I'm pleased that Members from opposition parties are happy to support the regulations going forward. I think what the banning also does is encourage respectful and responsible attitudes, and that's particularly important to me for developing the attitudes of children and young people towards animals, and will also contribute to an improved perception of licensed premises, and empower local authorities to take action if they feel they've got concerns about how puppies and kittens are being bred and sold. The new regulations will provide a legislative mechanism for future opportunities - Suzy Davies asked that question - to include an update of the licensed animal welfare establishments, and that includes, but not exclusively, all stables, for instance, riding schools and dog boarding establishments. It may also be appropriate to consider the inclusion of the dog breeding regulations when these are reviewed in the future. The local authority enforcement project is a three-year funded project, and that's going to gather further data and information on how best to enforce the regulations, but also on what could be done to improve them. It's not the policy intent to introduce a new licensing regime for rehoming centres, but I think it is really essential that we don't apply blanket exemptions within these regulations, which then may introduce opportunities for exploitation. So, it will be possible for a local authority to apply their discretion and consideration as to whether the legitimate not-for-profit rescue and rehoming centres require a licence. In relation to the financial impact for local authorities, the possible impacts of the new legislation are considered in the explanatory memorandum and regulatory impact assessment, and commercial third-party sellers already need to apply for a licence, but they're already subject to ongoing inspections. And local authorities will be able to set the licence fee to meet those anticipated costs of registration, inspection and enforcement by charging a fee for the issue of a licence. I think a ban on commercial third-party sales of puppies and kittens will go some way to rebuilding Wales's unfairly - in many ways - damaged reputation with regard to dog breeding, and it will better educate and protect the public in making informed decisions prior to purchasing a puppy or kitten. I think it does represent a big step forward today for animal welfare in Wales, and I'm pleased that Members have indicated that they will be supporting today. Diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Hoffwn i ddiolch i'r Aelodau am eu cefnogaeth. Hoffwn i ddiolch hefyd i bawb sydd wedi cyfrannu at gael y rheoliadau hyn i'r cam hwn, a hoffwn i ddechrau gyda fy swyddogion yn swyddfa Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol Cymru, sydd wedi cael cefnogaeth dda gan gydweithwyr eraill ledled Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau ein bod ni'n gallu cyflwyno'r rheoliadau hyn cyn diwedd y tymor. Rwyf i hefyd eisiau cydnabod y lobïo penderfynol gan unigolion, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys Aelodau'r Senedd a hefyd sefydliadau'r trydydd sector ar y mater hwn. O ran rhai o'r cwestiynau a gafodd eu codi gan Aelodau, rwy'n pwysleisio eto fod y rheoliadau hyn yn mynd y tu hwnt i gyfraith Lucy, ac rwy'n falch bod Aelodau o'r gwrthbleidiau'n hapus i gefnogi'r rheoliadau wrth fynd ymlaen. Rwy'n credu mai'r hyn y mae gwahardd hefyd yn ei wneud yw annog agweddau parchus a chyfrifol, ac mae hynny'n arbennig o bwysig i mi o ran datblygu agweddau plant a phobl ifanc tuag at anifeiliaid, a bydd hefyd yn cyfrannu at well canfyddiad o eiddo trwyddedig, ac yn grymuso awdurdodau lleol i weithredu os ydyn nhw'n teimlo bod ganddyn nhw bryderon ynghylch sut mae cŵn bach a chathod bach yn cael eu bridio a'u gwerthu. Bydd y rheoliadau newydd yn darparu mecanwaith deddfwriaethol ar gyfer cyfleoedd yn y dyfodol - gofynnodd Suzy Davies y cwestiwn hwnnw - i gynnwys diweddariad o'r sefydliadau lles anifeiliaid trwyddedig, ac mae hynny'n cynnwys, ond nid yn unig, pob stabl, er enghraifft, ysgolion marchogaeth a sefydliadau lletya cŵn. Efallai y byddai hefyd yn briodol ystyried cynnwys y rheoliadau bridio cŵn pan gaiff y rhain eu hadolygu yn y dyfodol. Mae prosiect gorfodi awdurdodau lleol yn brosiect tair blynedd wedi'i ariannu, ac mae hynny'n mynd i gasglu rhagor o ddata a gwybodaeth ynghylch y ffordd orau o orfodi'r rheoliadau, ond hefyd ar yr hyn y mae modd ei wneud i'w gwella. Nid bwriad y polisi yw cyflwyno cyfundrefn drwyddedu newydd ar gyfer canolfannau ailgartrefu, ond rwy'n credu ei bod yn hanfodol iawn nad ydym ni'n defnyddio eithriadau cyffredinol o fewn y rheoliadau hyn, a allai wedyn gyflwyno cyfleoedd i gamfanteisio. Felly, bydd yn bosibl i awdurdod lleol ddefnyddio ei ddisgresiwn a'i ystyriaeth o ran a oes angen trwydded ar y canolfannau achub ac ailgartrefu di-elw cyfreithlon. O ran yr effaith ariannol ar awdurdodau lleol, caiff effeithiau posibl y ddeddfwriaeth newydd eu hystyried yn y memorandwm esboniadol a'r asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol, ac mae angen i werthwyr masnachol trydydd parti eisoes wneud cais am drwydded, ond maen nhw eisoes yn destun arolygiadau parhaus. A bydd awdurdodau lleol yn gallu pennu ffi'r drwydded i dalu'r costau cofrestru, arolygu a gorfodi sy'n cael eu rhagweld a hynny drwy godi ffi am roi trwydded. Rwy'n credu y bydd gwaharddiad ar werthiannau trydydd parti masnachol cŵn bach a chathod bach yn gwneud rhywfaint i ailddatblygu enw da Cymru - sydd wedi'i niweidio'n annheg mewn sawl ffordd - o ran bridio cŵn, a bydd yn addysgu ac yn amddiffyn y cyhoedd yn well wrth wneud penderfyniadau gwybodus cyn prynu ci bach neu gath fach. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn gam mawr ymlaen heddiw o ran lles anifeiliaid yng Nghymru, ac rwy'n falch bod Aelodau wedi dweud y byddan nhw'n cefnogi heddiw. Diolch.
