English: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Diolch yn fawr, Llyr. Thank you for your comments. I mean, these are rehearsals of what we went through in Finance Committee, really. You started off by talking about this almost like a separation of powers between the remuneration board and the operational budget of the Commission, which is a step that the Commission took very much on the basis of suggestions coming from the Finance Committee, and it seems to be working well. I mean, one of the things that you obviously realise as a consequence of that, of course, is that if there are any unexpected areas of expenditure, perhaps either by the remuneration board or operationally for the Commission, we're no longer in a position to take money from one budget line and put it in the other, which is fine because we actually can resolve any problems through supplementary budgets - either returning money to the Welsh block or asking for more from this Assembly in order to meet issues that we haven't actually foreseen, for example. With regard to the windows project, I know this has come as something of a surprise, perhaps, to some Assembly Members, but it was never going to be cheap. We've reached a situation now where there are certain windows in this building that do need replacing. But trying to replace them all within year is financially, I think, shall we say, not very palatable to any Assembly Members around here. And, of course, then, you'll have seen that, within the budget, there's a sum put aside in order to have a planning - it's a planning sum, so that we can actually replace the windows that need replacing in this building, in a way that is sensible and most cost-efficient. With regard to the VES, the core purpose of the VES was to make sure that we had commission staff that were able to meet the three priorities of the Assembly, and to do that in as painless but also realistic a way as possible. It was quite a procedure to go through, this, as you know. But the main purpose of it wasn't necessarily to save money - but we did save some money, as it happens. What we didn't manage to do was create enough space in that restructuring to fulfil our commitments to Assembly Members to provide them with the excellent service, using resources wisely, and engaging with people in Wales, that we would have wanted to do - bearing in mind that we have the context, which we've been in for a few years now, regarding Brexit, and, potentially, Assembly reform. Regarding the election year budget, yes, of course that's going to be a bit more this year. We've got a Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill going through, later on today, I suspect. There are cost implications to that, which include awareness raising, and potentially awareness raising for people that we hadn't considered at the time that the draft Bill was laid, and, indeed, this draft budget was laid. So, as you would expect, in order to make this Assembly a place where people will want to come, and people will want to vote in, the level of awareness raising we do, and the quality of that work, is essential for making sure that the law itself is worth making. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Diolch yn fawr, Llyr. Diolch am eich sylwadau. Rydym yn ailadrodd yr hyn a wnaethom yn y Pwyllgor Cyllid, a dweud y gwir. Fe ddechreuoch chi drwy sôn am hyn bron fel gwahanu pwerau rhwng y bwrdd cydnabyddiaeth ariannol a chyllideb weithredol y Comisiwn, sy'n gam a gymerodd y Comisiwn i raddau helaeth ar sail awgrymiadau a gafwyd gan y Pwyllgor Cyllid, ac ymddengys ei fod yn gweithio'n dda. Un o'r pethau rydych yn amlwg yn sylweddoli o ganlyniad i hynny, wrth gwrs, yw os oes unrhyw feysydd gwariant annisgwyl, naill ai gan y bwrdd cydnabyddiaeth ariannol neu'n weithredol i'r Comisiwn, nid ydym bellach mewn sefyllfa i fynd ag arian o un o linellau'r gyllideb a'i roi yn y llall, sy'n iawn, gan y gallwn ddatrys unrhyw broblemau, mewn gwirionedd, drwy gyllidebau atodol - naill ai dychwelyd arian i floc Cymru neu ofyn am fwy gan y Cynulliad hwn er mwyn mynd i'r afael â materion nad ydym wedi'u rhagweld, er enghraifft. O ran y prosiect ffenestri, gwn fod hyn wedi peri syndod, efallai, i rai o Aelodau'r Cynulliad, ond nid oedd hynny byth am fod yn rhad. Rydym wedi cyrraedd sefyllfa bellach lle mae angen gosod rhai ffenestri newydd yn yr adeilad hwn. Ond ni chredaf fod ceisio gosod pob un ohonynt o fewn blwyddyn yn dderbyniol yn ariannol, os mynnwch, i unrhyw Aelodau Cynulliad yma. Ac wrth gwrs, fe fyddwch wedi gweld bod swm wedi'i neilltuo yn y gyllideb er mwyn cynllunio - mae'n swm cynllunio, fel y gallwn osod y ffenestri newydd sydd eu hangen yn yr adeilad hwn yn y ffordd fwyaf synhwyrol a chosteffeithiol. O ran y cynllun ymadael gwirfoddol, pwrpas craidd y cynllun ymadael gwirfoddol oedd sicrhau bod gennym staff comisiwn sy'n gallu cyflawni tair blaenoriaeth y Cynulliad, a gwneud hynny yn y ffordd fwyaf didrafferth ond hefyd yn y ffordd fwyaf realistig sy'n bosibl. Roedd gwneud hyn yn dipyn o orchwyl, fel y gwyddoch. Ond nid arbed arian oedd prif ddiben hynny o reidrwydd - ond fe wnaethom arbed rhywfaint o arian, fel mae'n digwydd. Yr hyn na wnaethom lwyddo i'w wneud oedd creu digon o le yn y broses ailstrwythuro honno i gyflawni ein hymrwymiadau i Aelodau'r Cynulliad i ddarparu gwasanaeth rhagorol iddynt, gan ddefnyddio adnoddau'n ddoeth, ac ymgysylltu â phobl yng Nghymru, yn y ffordd y byddem wedi dymuno ei wneud - gan gofio'r cyd-destun y buom ynddo ers ychydig flynyddoedd bellach o ran Brexit, a diwygio'r Cynulliad o bosibl. O ran y gyllideb blwyddyn etholiad, wrth gwrs, bydd honno ychydig yn fwy eleni. Tybiaf y bydd Bil Senedd ac Etholiadau (Cymru) yn mynd drwodd yn nes ymlaen heddiw. Mae goblygiadau iddo ran cost, sy'n cynnwys codi ymwybyddiaeth, a chodi ymwybyddiaeth pobl nad oeddem wedi'u hystyried pan osodwyd y Bil drafft o bosibl, ac yn wir, pan osodwyd y gyllideb ddrafft hon. Felly, fel y byddech yn ei ddisgwyl, er mwyn gwneud y Cynulliad hwn yn rhywle y bydd pobl yn awyddus i ddod iddo, ac y bydd pobl yn awyddus i bleidleisio ynddo, mae lefel y gwaith codi ymwybyddiaeth a wnawn, ac ansawdd y gwaith hwnnw, yn hanfodol ar gyfer sicrhau bod y ddeddf ei hun yn werth ei gwneud. Diolch.
