English: I thank Nick Ramsay for his questions, and for his welcome, obviously, to this process. I think, first of all, in terms of the stakeholders, he put his finger on an ongoing issue, of course, which is that the consultation we have on the budget is before we see the budget itself or a draft budget, and, indeed, before we saw the programme for government, which was only launched itself yesterday. Ideally, you would want to match a programme for government with the allocation of resources, and then make some kind of series of recommendations about whether they were appropriate or effective or efficient. However, we will redouble our efforts as a committee to engage with stakeholders once we see the draft budget, from 18 October. I mentioned the Dialogue app that we're going to use. That's fairly new from the Assembly's point of view, but it has been used over the summer, I understand, to engage with different individuals and in consultation. The app allows people not merely to respond but to respond to how others have responded. So it allows an iterative discussion around priorities and ideas. So I think, and I hope, that that will enrich not only the Finance Committee, but the other committees that are looking at what people have to say about their remit as well. And we'll also, as I said, have a formal stakeholder meeting in Merthyr Tydfil, which I hope you will attend, and also a formal consultation. So, we're trying to cast the net as widely as possible to get people on board. But that really comes down to how we go forward. There was a set of recommendations, as you mentioned, from the previous committee. I am confident that the spirit of those recommendations is being taken forward at present. There is some negotiation and some agreement that has to be agreed between the Assembly side and the Government side, regarding the exact timetabling, when it happens, how recess is timetabled into that, how we deal with it in Standing Orders, so that the Government has the correct amount of flexibility it needs to produce a budget, but we have the time. And the aim of this - as he will remember from the recommendations - is to increase the time for scrutiny of actual proposals, budget proposals, and also to allow other committees to have a more coherent approach to the budget scrutiny themselves, with perhaps the Finance Committee having a slightly more strategic kind of directional way of helping those other committees, individual subject committees, to do their work on the budget as well. I haven't been approached formally to be part of any process around the appointment of any members of the Welsh Revenue Authority. I'm sure that the committee will want to maintain its scrutiny of that authority and that process, and I'm sure we will also want, in time, to invite members of the authority in and the chair for scrutiny and for sessions where we're able to question them and see the approach being taken by the new revenue authority. But it's very early days, of course, on that. I think, in terms of the model of scrutiny work, that's dealt with in the way that we discussed how we take forward the recommendations of the previous committee.
Welsh: Diolch i Nick Ramsay am ei gwestiynau, ac am ei groeso, yn amlwg, i'r broses hon. Rwy'n credu, yn gyntaf oll, o ran y rhanddeiliaid, ei fod wedi rhoi ei fys ar broblem barhaus, wrth gwrs, sef bod yr ymgynghoriad sydd gennym ar y gyllideb yn digwydd cyn i ni weld y gyllideb ei hun neu gyllideb ddrafft, ac yn wir, cyn i ni weld y rhaglen lywodraethu, na chafodd ei lansio tan ddoe. Yn ddelfrydol, byddech am sicrhau bod rhaglen lywodraethu'n cyd-fynd â dyraniad adnoddau, cyn creu rhyw fath o gyfres o argymhellion ynglŷn â'u priodoldeb, eu heffeithiolrwydd neu eu heffeithlonrwydd. Fodd bynnag, byddwn yn ymdrechu'n galetach fel pwyllgor i ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid ar ôl i ni weld y gyllideb ddrafft, o 18 Hydref ymlaen. Soniais am yr ap Dialogue rydym yn mynd i'w ddefnyddio. Mae'n beth cymharol newydd o safbwynt y Cynulliad, ond mae wedi cael ei ddefnyddio dros yr haf, yn ôl yr hyn rwy'n ei ddeall, i ymgysylltu ag unigolion gwahanol ac i ymgynghori. Mae'r ap yn caniatáu i bobl nid yn unig i ymateb, ond hefyd i ymateb i sut y mae pobl eraill wedi ymateb. Felly mae'n caniatáu trafodaeth iteraidd ar flaenoriaethau a syniadau. Felly rwy'n credu, ac rwy'n gobeithio, y bydd hynny'n cyfoethogi'r Pwyllgor Cyllid, yn ogystal â'r pwyllgorau eraill sy'n edrych ar yr hyn sydd gan bobl i'w ddweud am eu cylch gwaith hefyd. Ac mae gennym hefyd, fel y dywedais, gyfarfod ffurfiol â rhanddeiliaid ym Merthyr Tudful, ac rwy'n gobeithio y byddwch yn ei fynychu, yn ogystal ag ymgynghoriad ffurfiol. Felly, rydym yn ceisio taflu'r rhwyd mor eang â phosibl i sicrhau cefnogaeth pobl. Ond mae hynny mewn gwirionedd yn dibynnu ar y ffordd rydym yn symud ymlaen. Roedd yna gyfres o argymhellion, fel y sonioch, gan y pwyllgor blaenorol. Rwy'n hyderus fod ysbryd yr argymhellion hynny yn cael ei ddatblygu ar hyn o bryd. Mae angen rhywfaint o drafod a rhywfaint o gytundeb rhwng ochr y Cynulliad ac ochr y Llywodraeth, o ran yr union amserlen, pa bryd y bydd yn digwydd, sut y bydd y toriadau'n cael eu cynnwys yn rhan o'r amserlen, sut rydym yn ymdrin â hyn yn y Rheolau Sefydlog, fel bod gan y Llywodraeth yr hyblygrwydd cywir sydd ei angen arni i gynhyrchu cyllideb, ond mae gennym amser. A nod hyn i gyd - fel y bydd yn cofio o'r argymhellion - yw cynyddu'r amser ar gyfer craffu ar gynigion gwirioneddol, cynigion y gyllideb, a hefyd er mwyn caniatáu i bwyllgorau eraill gael dull mwy cydlynol o graffu ar y gyllideb eu hunain, gyda'r Pwyllgor Cyllid, o bosibl, â ffordd gyfeiriol ychydig yn fwy strategol o helpu'r pwyllgorau eraill hynny, pwyllgorau pwnc unigol, i wneud eu gwaith ar y gyllideb yn ogystal. Nid oes unrhyw un wedi gofyn yn ffurfiol i mi fod yn rhan o unrhyw broses mewn perthynas â phenodi unrhyw aelodau o Awdurdod Cyllid Cymru. Rwy'n sicr y bydd y pwyllgor yn awyddus i barhau i graffu ar yr awdurdod hwnnw a'r broses honno, ac rwy'n sicr y byddwn ninnau, ymhen amser, yn dymuno gwahodd aelodau a chadeirydd yr awdurdod i mewn i'w craffu ac i sesiynau lle y gallwn eu holi a gweld y dull a weithredir gan yr awdurdod cyllid newydd. Ond megis dechrau y mae hynny, wrth gwrs. Credaf ein bod wedi ymdrin â model gwaith craffu wrth drafod sut y byddwn yn bwrw ymlaen ag argymhellion y pwyllgor blaenorol.
