English: I would like to add my voice to some of what's been said, because I'd also like to call for a statement urgently from the Minister for the economy that's going to update business owners on this, Trefnydd, and how the Welsh Government intends to provide interim support for those companies that were relying on the ERF phase 3 funds. Now, I know that this is something that's been raised a number of times already in the virtual Chamber today, but I make no apology for adding my voice to this, because there were so many companies who had been working hard on the complicated application process only to be told that the funds were frozen within less than 48 hours of those applications opening. I've received many angry and upset e-mails - I'm sure that other Members will have done so as well - from people who haven't received any support so far from Government schemes and who, as I said, had worked so hard on these applications for the phase 3 business development grant: they were chasing quotes, they were working though all of the complicated paperwork, they were being very diligent with it. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that they were left dumbfounded by the news that the applications closed so early. One business owner in my region also pointed out to me that Business Wales advice had earlier said that the applications would remain open until 25 November or until all the funds had been committed. Many valid claims won't now be considered on their merits because of an arbitrary cap that's been reached, and it's just not good enough, and I'd add my voice to that. I know what -
Welsh: Hoffwn i ychwanegu fy llais i at rywfaint o'r hyn sydd wedi ei ddweud, oherwydd hoffwn i hefyd alw am ddatganiad ar frys gan Weinidog yr economi sy'n mynd i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i berchnogion busnes am hyn, Trefnydd, a sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu darparu cymorth dros dro i'r cwmnïau hynny a oedd yn dibynnu ar gyllid cam 3 y gronfa cadernid economaidd. Nawr, rwy'n gwybod bod hyn yn rhywbeth sydd wedi ei godi sawl gwaith eisoes yn y Siambr rithwir heddiw, ond nid wyf i'n ymddiheuro am ychwanegu fy llais i at hyn, oherwydd yr oedd cynifer o gwmnïau a oedd wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed ar y broses gymhleth o wneud cais dim ond i gael gwybod bod yr arian wedi ei rewi o fewn llai na 48 awr i'r ceisiadau hynny agor. Rwyf i wedi cael llawer o negeseuon e-bost dig a gofidus - rwy'n siŵr y bydd yr Aelodau eraill wedi eu cael hefyd - gan bobl nad ydyn nhw wedi cael unrhyw gymorth hyd yn hyn gan gynlluniau'r Llywodraeth ac a oedd, fel y dywedais i, wedi gweithio mor galed ar y ceisiadau hyn ar gyfer grant datblygu busnes cam 3: roedden nhw'n mynd ar drywydd dyfynbrisiau, roedden nhw'n gweithio drwy'r holl waith papur cymhleth, roedden nhw'n ddiwyd iawn yn ei gylch. Nid wyf i'n credu ei bod yn mynd dros ben llestri i ddweud eu bod nhw wedi eu syfrdanu gan y newyddion bod y ceisiadau wedi cau mor gynnar. Dywedodd un perchennog busnes yn fy rhanbarth i wrthyf i hefyd fod cyngor Busnes Cymru wedi dweud yn gynharach y byddai'r ceisiadau yn aros ar agor tan 25 Tachwedd neu hyd nes bod yr holl arian wedi ei neilltuo. Ni fydd llawer o hawliadau dilys bellach yn cael eu hystyried yn ôl eu rhinweddau oherwydd terfyn uchaf mympwyol sydd wedi ei gyrraedd, ac nid yw'n ddigon da, ac rwyf i'n ychwanegu fy llais at hynny. Rwy'n gwybod beth -
