English: I'm pleased to contribute to this debate, although I was not a member of the committee when the report was being formulated. I have been very pleased to follow the work as it moved to publication and was then launched, as the Chair has indicated. I think it has been a very important area of work, and the report focuses on very practical ways in which we can improve film and major tv production in Wales. I do want to start by saying that I am largely encouraged by the response of the Welsh Government in accepting most of the committee's recommendations, though I do note the Chair's frustration that some of that acceptance is contingent on the operation of Creative Wales when it is established. I think it's right to note the growth in this sector since 2007 - faster than that for the rest of the UK. Again, this has been referred to. But, there is still a long way to go. I think that Wales, as a nation, does extremely well compared to any region of England outside London and the south-east, and possibly Manchester. But, we are still well short of any proportion that was related to population, in terms of the amount of GVA that we generate through the film and tv industry. We could probably increase it by two or three times, and then only just get to a sort of rough calculation of what you'd expect by population. So, while we do have great success and we are one of the major areas for production - our creative industries have performed incredibly well over the last 10 years, and I'm sure it's a sector that will continue to grow - we shouldn't limit our ambition. We should really extend our expectations for this sector. I think that there is a particular need to invest in Welsh language projects and Welsh language projects that can also be produced bilingually. There's no doubting the potential that we've seen fairly recently in terms of series like Hinterland, which completely normalise the use of Welsh, as well as producing a Welsh language version and a largely English one, but with the use of Welsh. I'm sure that this has done enormous good for people across the United Kingdom to know that it is normal if you are driving around Ceredigion to hear Welsh being spoken. I just think that it really was - . It lifted the heart to see that. I also think that we should remember that it markets Wales to the rest of the world. Wales is the most distinctive cultural part of the British isles because we have a culture that is a non-English-language culture, as well as, obviously, a Welsh-English culture also and a British culture. All of these magnificent traditions mingle and are incredibly creative, and there's a great appetite out there to share in this, worldwide potentially, which is why I think some clever investment in Welsh film making is warranted. Obviously, you only get the occasional hit that makes it to the award ceremonies of the Oscars or whatever, but I think overall, at that level, that sort of creative excellence has an effect on the general sector as well, and I think we could also align it to the 'Cymraeg 2050' strategy - again, normalising Welsh and portraying our country as a truly bilingual one. So, I think that needs to be looked at, and the funding. It is the one area where we have real responsibility for projecting that aspect of the Celtic civilisation that continues to thrive in western Europe. I think more need to be seeing our drama about that. I note that there's a need to strengthen the skills strategy. We do pretty well, as we saw when we went to the Atrium building of the University of Glamorgan, but there is still a need to improve skills, particularly relating to Welsh language output. I also think the Government could do a bit more in terms of co-ordinating film festivals and ensuring that their worth is projected more widely. I know there's a slight difference of opinion on how that's best secured, but I think a more central, co-ordinated approach might be valuable. Can I just end also with a plea that it's time for Creative Wales to step forward? It was envisaged in 2016, which was when the referendum on Brexit occurred, and at this rate we might get Brexit before we get Creative Wales. I'd be very happy to see Creative Wales 10 times. I'm not going to mention my attitude to the arrival, presumably when it does come, of Brexit.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch o gyfrannu at y ddadl hon, er nad oeddwn yn aelod o'r pwyllgor pan roedd yr adroddiad yn cael ei lunio. Rwyf wedi bod yn falch iawn o ddilyn y gwaith wrth iddo gael ei gyhoeddi a'i lansio wedyn, fel y nododd y Cadeirydd. Credaf ei fod wedi bod yn faes gwaith pwysig iawn, ac mae'r adroddiad yn canolbwyntio ar ffyrdd ymarferol iawn y gallwn wella'r diwydiant cynhyrchu ffilm a theledu mawr yng Nghymru. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddweud fy mod wedi fy nghalonogi'n fawr gan ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru wrth iddynt dderbyn y rhan fwyaf o argymhellion y pwyllgor, er fy mod yn nodi rhwystredigaeth y Cadeirydd fod rhywfaint o'r derbyniad hwnnw'n ddibynnol ar weithrediad Cymru Greadigol pan gaiff ei sefydlu. Credaf ei bod yn iawn nodi'r twf yn y sector hwn ers 2007 - cyflymach na'r twf yng ngweddill y DU. Unwaith eto, cyfeiriwyd at hyn eisoes. Ond mae llawer i'w wneud o hyd. Credaf fod Cymru, fel cenedl, yn gwneud yn dda iawn o gymharu ag unrhyw ranbarth yn Lloegr y tu allan i Lundain a'r de-ddwyrain, a Manceinion, o bosibl. Ond rydym yn dal i fod ymhell o unrhyw gyfran a oedd yn gysylltiedig â'r boblogaeth, o ran faint o werth ychwanegol gros rydym yn ei gynhyrchu drwy'r diwydiant ffilm a theledu. Mae'n debyg y gallem ei gynyddu ddwy neu dair gwaith, a dim ond cyrraedd rhyw fath o gyfrifiad bras wedyn o'r hyn y byddech yn ei ddisgwyl yn ôl poblogaeth. Felly, er ein bod yn cael cryn lwyddiant ac yn un o'r prif ardaloedd ar gyfer cynhyrchu - mae ein diwydiannau creadigol wedi perfformio'n eithriadol o dda dros y 10 mlynedd diwethaf, ac rwy'n siŵr ei fod yn sector a fydd yn parhau i dyfu - ni ddylem gyfyngu ar ein huchelgais. Dylem ymestyn ein disgwyliadau ar gyfer y sector hwn. Credaf fod angen buddsoddi'n benodol mewn prosiectau iaith Gymraeg a phrosiectau iaith Gymraeg y gellir eu cynhyrchu'n ddwyieithog hefyd. Nid oes amheuaeth ynghylch y potensial a welsom yn weddol ddiweddar o ran cyfresi fel Hinterland, sy'n normaleiddio'r defnydd o'r Gymraeg yn llwyr, yn ogystal â chynhyrchu fersiwn Gymraeg ac un sy'n Saesneg yn bennaf, ond gyda defnydd o'r Gymraeg. Rwy'n siŵr fod hyn wedi gwneud llawer o les i bobl ledled y Deyrnas Unedig wybod ei bod yn gyffredin clywed y Gymraeg os ydych yn gyrru o gwmpas Ceredigion. Credaf fod hynny'n - . Cododd fy nghalon wrth weld hynny. Credaf hefyd y dylem gofio bod hyn yn marchnata Cymru i weddill y byd. Cymru yw rhan ddiwylliannol fwyaf unigryw ynysoedd Prydain gan fod gennym ddiwylliant nad yw'n ddiwylliant Saesneg, yn ogystal â diwylliant Cymraeg-Saesneg hefyd wrth gwrs, a diwylliant Prydeinig. Mae'r holl draddodiadau godidog hyn yn cymysgu ac yn hynod greadigol, a cheir cryn awydd i rannu hyn, yn fyd-eang o bosibl, a dyna pam y credaf fod angen buddsoddi'n glyfar mewn cynhyrchu ffilmiau yng Nghymru. Yn amlwg, yn achlysurol yn unig y cewch lwyddiant sy'n cyrraedd seremonïau gwobrwyo'r Oscars neu beth bynnag, ond ar y cyfan, ar y lefel honno, credaf fod y math hwnnw o ragoriaeth greadigol yn cael effaith ar y sector cyffredinol hefyd, a chredaf y gallem ei alinio â'r strategaeth 'Cymraeg 2050' - unwaith eto, normaleiddio'r Gymraeg a phortreadu ein gwlad fel un wirioneddol ddwyieithog. Felly, credaf fod angen edrych ar hynny, a'r cyllid. Dyma'r un maes lle mae gennym gyfrifoldeb gwirioneddol dros hyrwyddo'r agwedd honno ar y gwareiddiad Celtaidd sy'n parhau i ffynnu yng ngorllewin Ewrop. Credaf fod angen i fwy o bobl weld ein drama yn hynny o beth. Nodaf fod angen cryfhau'r strategaeth sgiliau. Rydym yn gwneud yn eithaf da, fel y gwelsom pan aethom i adeilad yr Atrium ym Mhrifysgol Morgannwg, ond mae angen gwella sgiliau o hyd, yn enwedig o ran allbwn iaith Gymraeg. Credaf hefyd y gallai'r Llywodraeth wneud ychydig yn fwy o ran cydgysylltu gwyliau ffilm a sicrhau bod eu gwerth yn cael ei hyrwyddo'n ehangach. Gwn fod gwahaniaeth barn i raddau ynghylch y ffordd orau o wneud hynny, ond credaf y gallai ymagwedd fwy canolog a chydgysylltiedig fod yn werthfawr. A gaf fi gloi gyda phle ei bod hi'n bryd i Cymru Greadigol gamu ymlaen? Fe'i rhagwelwyd yn 2016, sef pan gafwyd y refferendwm ar Brexit, ac os awn ymlaen fel hyn efallai y cawn Brexit cyn i ni gael Cymru Greadigol. Buaswn yn hapus iawn i weld Cymru Greadigol 10 gwaith. Ni wnaf grybwyll fy agwedd tuag at ddyfodiad Brexit, pan ddaw.
