English: Well, I think the Member may have been asleep for the whole month of December when a general election took place, and we have a Government that is clear that we are leaving the European Union. I thought that is something that he said he had campaigned for many years to bring about, and I have just said, as clearly as I can, on the record, that, whatever others of us may have thought, that is now a settled fact. What is not settled, and what is the subject of our consideration this afternoon, is how Brexit should happen, and the form of Brexit has twisted and turned many times already in the hands of successive Conservative Governments. Indeed, the Bill that we are asked to consent to today is not the Bill that the current Prime Minister would have asked us to consent to just at the start of December. Now, Dirprwy Lywydd, the UK Government is pushing this Bill through Parliament at a speed in inverse proportion to its significance. That is both unnecessary and wrong. It is the most important decision taken by Parliament in a generation or more, and the legislation surely deserves the fullest and most thorough scrutiny. The failure to afford Parliament with the opportunity to do that has a direct impact on us here. Normally, we would come to the floor of the Assembly to debate the issue of legislative consent on a Bill knowing the final form that it was to be voted upon in Parliament. We still do not know that this afternoon. The fact that there is to be no gap between Report and Third Reading in the House of Lords means that our ability to put a proper decision in front of this National Assembly is also compromised.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n tybio bod yr Aelod wedi bod yn cysgu drwy gydol mis Rhagfyr pan gynhaliwyd etholiad cyffredinol, ac mae gennym Lywodraeth sy'n eglur am y ffaith ein bod ni'n gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd. Roeddwn i'n credu bod hynny'n rhywbeth y dywedodd ef ei fod wedi ymgyrchu drosto am flynyddoedd lawer, ac rwyf innau newydd ddweud, mor glir ag y gallaf, ar goedd, fod honno, beth bynnag oedd barn rhai ohonom ni, yn ffaith sefydlog erbyn hyn. Yr hyn nad yw'n sefydlog, a dyma bwnc ein hystyriaeth ni'r prynhawn yma, yw sut y dylai Brexit ddigwydd, ac mae ffurf Brexit wedi troi a throi lawer tro eisoes yn nwylo Llywodraethau Ceidwadol olynol. Yn wir, nid y Bil y mae gofyn inni gydsynio ag ef heddiw yw'r Bil y byddai'r Prif Weinidog presennol wedi gofyn inni gydsynio ag ef ddechrau mis Rhagfyr. Nawr, Dirprwy Lywydd, mae Llywodraeth y DU yn gwthio'r Bil hwn drwy San Steffan gyda chyflymder sy'n hollol amhriodol o ystyried ei arwyddocâd. Mae hynny'n ddiangen ac yn annoeth. Dyma'r penderfyniad pwysicaf a gymerwyd gan San Steffan mewn cenhedlaeth neu fwy, ac mae'n sicr bod y ddeddfwriaeth yn haeddu'r craffu llawnaf a mwyaf trwyadl posibl. Mae'r methiant i roi cyfle i'r Senedd wneud hynny yn effeithio arnom ni yma'n uniongyrchol. Fel rheol, fe fyddem ni ar lawr y Cynulliad yn trafod mater cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ar Fil gan wybod beth fyddai ei ffurf derfynol ar gyfer pleidleisio arno yn San Steffan. Ni wyddom hynny y prynhawn yma. Mae'r ffaith na fydd bwlch rhwng adroddiad a thrydydd darlleniad yn Nhŷ'r Arglwyddi yn golygu y bydd ein gallu ni i roi penderfyniad cywir gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol hwn yn cael ei gyfaddawdu hefyd.
