English: As we've already heard, the context of this inquiry by the committee was the Welsh Government's intention in the summer of 2017 to legislate anew with regard to the Welsh language, and to do so barely 18 months after the 2011 Welsh language Measure had started to embed. So, Plaid Cymru was very pleased that common sense had prevailed, and ultimately the proposals were set aside. The evidence that the committee heard, the consensus of opinion that had been reported by language organisations, academics and perhaps most importantly by those organisations that implement legislation, all confirms that now is not the time to make far-reaching changes to a relatively new system. Even though that system isn't perfect, as the committee says, it continues to drive significant progress with regard to the status of the Welsh language and its usage. Even though I welcome the decision made by the Minister to set those proposals aside, recommendation 3 in the report, which suggests that any future proposals to amend or replace the Welsh language Measure should be supported by evidence, causes some concern and is a sign that the Welsh Government's proposals for the language Bill weren't based on evidence in the first instance. And clearly, that isn't how a responsible Government should operate, and we need to learn lessons from these weaknesses that led to a loss of focus on the implementation of the strategy for creating 1 million Welsh speakers. So, I'd like to thank the committee for stepping into the breach and gathering the evidence that was missing in the discussion with regard to the Bill - to do the Government's work for it, some would say, and to point to the priorities in moving forward. It's a matter, now, for the Government to look at these priorities, to take the reins and to implement them. And I want to focus the rest of my contribution on three important priorities, as far as I can see, and I would appreciate it if the Minister would take the opportunity to give a progress report on these points. The report confirms that it's in the Welsh Government's hands that the responsibility for promoting the Welsh language lies and we need to improve the status of the Welsh language unit in the Government. Clearly, we need a powerful unit within Government, not a unit that's buried in the civil service. I was at the Eisteddfod, where the Minister announced that there's one new post - one new post - within the current division that will be created. And we also heard in the case of the fair work agenda, which is entirely appropriately a priority across Government - we heard in that particular case that there will be a directorate set up in the First Minister's department to look at it. So, why doesn't the Welsh language have the same status within Government? The report recommends that the commissioner should review the complaints procedures regularly in terms of their effectiveness and their impact on service users. Everyone, as far as I can see it, wants to see effective procedures that give a voice to the citizen and the Welsh language. But putting additional pressure on the commissioner not to investigate complaints as a matter of course would be tantamount to weakening the standards regime. So, could you explain, Minister, why you have put pressure on the commissioner to undertake less investigation into complaints? And will you confirm today the independence of the commissioner? My final point: Plaid Cymru - I have called many times for a timetable for introducing the standards across the whole range of areas that remain, where the commissioner has done that initial work. So, perhaps today you could share the latest timetable for introducing the timetables for the water companies and the health regulators, in addition to the remaining sectors in the Measure that haven't been touched by you yet. Will you also confirm that you want to see the commissioner starting to do preparatory work in the telecommunications sector?
Welsh: Fel rydym ni wedi clywed, cyd-destun yr ymchwiliad hwn gan y pwyllgor oedd bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru yn haf 2017 i ddeddfu o'r newydd ym maes y Gymraeg, a hynny gwta 18 mis wedi i Fesur y Gymraeg 2011 ddechrau bwrw gwreiddiau. Felly, roedd Plaid Cymru yn falch iawn fod synnwyr cyffredin wedi ennill y dydd, ac yn y diwedd fod y cynigion wedi cael eu gollwng. Mae'r dystiolaeth a glywodd y pwyllgor, y consensws barn sy'n cael ei gofnodi gan fudiadau iaith, academyddion ac efallai yn bwysicach gan y sefydliadau sy'n gweithredu'r ddeddfwriaeth, i gyd yn cadarnhau nad dyma'r amser i wneud newidiadau pellgyrhaeddol i gyfundrefn gymharol newydd. Er nad ydy'r gyfundrefn honno'n berffaith, fel mae'r pwyllgor yn ei ddweud, mae wedi ac yn parhau i yrru cynnydd sylweddol o ran defnydd a statws y Gymraeg. Er fy mod i'n croesawu penderfyniad y Gweinidog i ollwng y cynigion, mae argymhelliad 3 yn yr adroddiad, sy'n argymell y dylai unrhyw gynigion yn y dyfodol i ddiwygio neu ddisodli Mesur y Gymraeg gael eu hategu gan dystiolaeth, mae hynny'n peri pryder ac yn arwydd nad oedd cynigion y Llywodraeth ar gyfer Bil y Gymraeg wedi cael eu seilio ar y dystiolaeth. Yn amlwg, nid dyna sut y dylai Llywodraeth gyfrifol fod yn gweithredu, ac mae angen dysgu gwersi o'r gwendid yma a wnaeth arwain yn anffodus iawn at golli golwg dros gyfnod ar weithredu'r strategaeth uchelgeisiol ar gyfer creu 1 miliwn o siaradwyr. Felly, fe hoffwn i ddiolch i'r pwyllgor diwylliant am gamu i mewn i gasglu'r dystiolaeth oedd ar goll yn y drafodaeth am y Bil - i wneud gwaith y Llywodraeth drosti, buasai rhai yn dweud, ac i amlygu'r blaenoriaethau wrth symud ymlaen. Mater i'r Llywodraeth, rŵan, ydy cydio yn y blaenoriaethau, ailafael yn yr awenau ac arwain i'w gweithredu nhw. A dwi am ganolbwyntio gweddill fy nghyfraniad ar dair blaenoriaeth o bwys, hyd y gwelaf i, ac mi fuaswn i'n gwerthfawrogi petai'r Gweinidog yn manteisio ar y cyfle wrth ymateb i roi adroddiad cynnydd ar y pwyntiau yma. Mae'r adroddiad yn cadarnhau'n glir mai yn nwylo Llywodraeth Cymru y mae'r cyfrifoldeb pennaf dros hybu'r Gymraeg a bod angen gwella statws a rôl uned y Gymraeg. Yn amlwg, mae angen endid grymus o fewn Llywodraeth, nid uned wedi'i chladdu ym mherfeddion y gwasanaeth sifil. Rŵan, roeddwn i yn yr Eisteddfod, lle cyhoeddodd y Gweinidog mai un swydd - un swydd - newydd yn gweithio o fewn yr is-adran bresennol fydd yn cael ei chreu. Ac mi glywsom ni efo achos yr agenda gwaith teg, sydd yn hollol briodol hefyd yn flaenoriaeth drawslywodraethol - fe glywsom ni efo'r achos hwnnw y bydd yna gyfarwyddiaeth yn cael ei sefydlu yn adran y Prif Weinidog ar gyfer hyn. Pam nad ydy'r Gymraeg yn cael yr un statws yn y Llywodraeth? Mae'r adroddiad yn argymell bod y comisiynydd yn adolygu ei weithdrefnau cwyno yn gyson o ran eu heffeithiolrwydd a'u heffaith ar ddefnyddwyr gwasanaethau. Ac mae pawb, am wn i, am weld gweithdrefnau effeithiol sy'n rhoi llais i'r dinesydd a'r Gymraeg. Ond byddai pwysau ar y comisiynydd i beidio ag ymchwilio i gwynion fel mater o drefn gyfystyr â gwanhau'r gyfundrefn safonau. Allwch chi esbonio, Weinidog, pam felly eich bod chi wedi rhoi pwysau ar y comisiynydd i wneud llai o ymchwilio i gwynion? Ac a wnewch chi gadarnhau heddiw annibyniaeth y comisiynydd? A fy mhwynt olaf i: mae Plaid Cymru - dwi wedi syrffedu galw am gyhoeddi amserlen ar gyfer symud ymlaen efo'r gwaith pwysig o gyflwyno'r safonau yn yr holl feysydd sydd yn weddill, lle mae'r comisiynydd wedi gwneud y gwaith cychwynnol yn barod. Felly, tybed, heddiw, a gawn ni'r amserlen ddiweddaraf ar gyfer cyflwyno safonau ar y cyrff dŵr a'r rheoleiddwyr iechyd, ynghyd â gweddill y sectorau yn y Mesur sydd heb gael eu cyffwrdd ganddoch chi eto? Ac a wnewch chi hefyd gadarnhau y byddwch chi am weld y comisiynydd yn dechrau gwneud gwaith paratoadol yn y sector telathrebu?
