English: As I outlined earlier, our committee is currently looking at second homes and will be looking at the Welsh Government's response to Dr Brooks's report on whether the steps taken are appropriate ones. Of course, Dr Brooks looked at the future of Welsh as a community language, and he found that the issue of second homes was affecting what he described, I think, as 'the territorial "core" of traditional Welsh-speaking Wales'. Dr Brooks said that new policies will be required in a range of areas, including but not confined to second homes, if Welsh-speaking communities are to be stabilised over the next few decades. So, I wonder if the Minister could outline how Dr Brooks's work has shaped this plan. The impact on the Welsh language and Welsh-speaking communities is a very important aspect for my committee to take into account when considering policies relating to second homes, and, as a committee, we're very mindful of that and will be ensuring that we explore this crucial element as we take forward our work. The language must thrive across Wales, and policies and approaches have to safeguard that. Dr Brooks recommended the establishment of a commission to make recommendations regarding the future of the Welsh language as a community language, and I thank the Minister for the update on the establishment of a commission. The committee will gather views from stakeholders on that matter through the inquiry. I'd just like to conclude by saying that, obviously, this issue does cut across many different areas, including the portfolios of different Welsh Government Ministers, and we do need a holistic approach, as always, when we're dealing with complex and difficult issues, and I wonder if the Minister could explain how he's worked with other Welsh Government Ministers across portfolios in developing this plan. Just finally, as a committee, we look forward to exploring these issues with stakeholders and also the Minister as well, of course, and we will invite him to give evidence next year. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Fel yr amlinellais yn gynharach, mae ein pwyllgor yn edrych ar ail gartrefi ar hyn o bryd a bydd yn edrych ar ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i adroddiad Dr Brooks ynghylch a yw'r camau a gymerwyd yn rhai priodol. Wrth gwrs, edrychodd Dr Brooks ar ddyfodol y Gymraeg fel iaith gymunedol, a chanfu fod mater ail gartrefi yn effeithio ar yr hyn a ddisgrifiodd, rwy'n credu, fel"craidd" tiriogaethol y Gymru Gymraeg draddodiadol. Dywedodd Dr Brooks y bydd angen polisïau newydd mewn amrywiaeth o feysydd, gan gynnwys ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig i ail gartrefi, os bydd cymunedau Cymraeg yn cael eu sefydlogi dros y degawdau nesaf. Felly, tybed a allai'r Gweinidog amlinellu sut y mae gwaith Dr Brooks wedi llunio'r cynllun hwn. Mae'r effaith ar y Gymraeg a chymunedau Cymraeg yn agwedd bwysig iawn i fy mhwyllgor ei hystyried wrth drafod polisïau sy'n ymwneud ag ail gartrefi, ac, fel pwyllgor, rydym yn ymwybodol iawn o hynny a byddwn yn sicrhau ein bod yn archwilio'r elfen hollbwysig hon wrth i ni fwrw ymlaen â'n gwaith. Mae'n rhaid i'r iaith ffynnu ledled Cymru, ac mae'n rhaid i bolisïau a dulliau gweithredu ddiogelu hynny. Argymhellodd Dr Brooks y dylid sefydlu comisiwn i wneud argymhellion ynghylch dyfodol y Gymraeg fel iaith gymunedol, ac rwy'n diolch i'r Gweinidog am yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am sefydlu comisiwn. Bydd y pwyllgor yn casglu barn rhanddeiliaid ar y mater hwnnw drwy'r ymchwiliad. Hoffwn i gloi drwy ddweud, yn amlwg, fod y mater hwn yn croesi ffiniau llawer o wahanol feysydd, gan gynnwys portffolios gwahanol Weinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru, ac mae angen dull cyfannol arnom, fel bob amser, pan fyddwn yn ymdrin â materion cymhleth ac anodd, a tybed a allai'r Gweinidog egluro sut y mae wedi gweithio gyda Gweinidogion eraill Llywodraeth Cymru ar draws portffolios wrth ddatblygu'r cynllun hwn. Yn olaf, fel pwyllgor, rydym yn edrych ymlaen at archwilio'r materion hyn gyda rhanddeiliaid a'r Gweinidog hefyd, wrth gwrs, a byddwn yn ei wahodd i roi tystiolaeth y flwyddyn nesaf. Diolch yn fawr.
