English: Yes, of course. We have been discussing this through the summer months, and then, of course, myself and the Counsel General met face-to-face last week. At the moment, we haven't come to an agreement on some of the core issues, and therefore our view on the Counsel General's favoured option, or why he doesn't favour our favoured option - there has been some disagreement on that. And I'm happy to go into some detail on that if you're eager for me to do that.
Welsh: Ydyn, wrth gwrs. Rŷn ni wedi bod yn trafod hyn ar hyd yr haf, ac wedyn, wrth gwrs, fi a'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn uniongyrchol yr wythnos diwethaf. Ar hyn o bryd, dŷn ni ddim wedi dod i gytundeb ar rai o'r materion craidd, sydd yn golygu bod rhywfaint o'n barn ni ynglŷn â'r opsiwn mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn ei ffafrio, neu pam dyw e dim yn ffafrio'r opsiwn rŷn ni'n ei ffafrio - bod yna rywfaint o anghytundeb ar hynny. A dwi'n barod i fynd i mewn i rywfaint o'r manylion ar hynna os ydych chi'n awyddus.
English: I would like to ask you to do that, because the Counsel General this morning said two things, which are that the Government policy would - correct me if I'm wrong - that the Government thinks that the model that they prefer is the appropriate way, I think he said, of of doing this. But also, what I read into the words used by Jeremy Miles was that this is also a way that they see as being a pragmatic way of resolving legal problems as well. So, do you accept the Government's case when it comes to the legal analysis of the situation that faces us?
Welsh: Mi liciwn i ofyn i chi wneud hynny, achos mi oedd y Cwnsler Cyffredinol, y bore yma, wedi dweud dau beth, sef bod polisi'r Llywodraeth - cywirwch fi os dwi'n cael hwn yn rong - bod y Llywodraeth yn meddwl mai'r model maen nhw'n ei ffafrio ydy'r ffordd addas, dwi'n credu y dywedodd e, o wneud hyn. Ond hefyd, beth oeddwn i'n darllen i mewn i eiriau Jeremy Miles oedd eu bod nhw hefyd yn gweld hyn fel ffordd bragmatig iawn o ddatrys problemau cyfreithiol hefyd. So, ydych chi'n derbyn achos y Llywodraeth pan mae'n dod i'r dadansoddiad cyfreithiol o'r sefyllfa sy'n ein hwynebu ni?
English: I think, from my analysis of what the Counsel General told you this morning, that the Counsel General is of the view that our preferred model, namely funding directly from the Welsh consolidated fund, is outwith our competence and that we aren't able to deliver that. Anna can provide you with a little more detail on that and the legal view. But we are certainly of the opinion that it is within our competence to follow our favoured model. There is more than one legal option in doing that, and it's true to say, in my opinion, that there is one model that is outwith competence, but there are ways of delivering that that are within our competence and we could do that.
Welsh: Dwi'n meddwl, o'n nadansoddiad i o'r hyn a ddywedodd y Cwnsler Cyffredinol wrthych chi'r bore yma, fod y Cwnsler Cyffredinol o'r farn bod y model rŷn ni'n ei ffafrio, sef ariannu'n uniongyrchol o'r gronfa gyfyng, y tu allan i'n cymhwysedd ni a bod yna ddim modd inni fedru cyflawni hynny. Fe gaiff Anna roi bach mwy o fanylion i chi ar hynny a'r farn gyfreithiol. Ond rŷn ni'n sicr yn credu ei fod o fewn ein cymhwysedd ni i ddilyn y model rŷn ni'n ei ffafrio. Mae yna fwy nag un opsiwn cyfreithiol i wneud hynny, ac mae'n gywir, yn fy marn i, fod yna un model sydd ddim o fewn cymhwysedd, ond mae yna ffyrdd o'i gyflawni fe sydd o fewn ein cymhwysedd ni ac fe fedrwn ni fod yn gwneud hynny o fewn cymhwysedd.
English: We do believe that there is competence for us to be able to deliver this, funding the Electoral Commission directly from the Welsh consolidated fund - within our competence as it stands at the moment. Anna will just briefly refer to that, and we can provide you with a legal note on that if necessary.
Welsh: Rŷn ni yn credu bod yna gymhwysedd inni fedru cyflawni hyn, o ariannu'r Comisiwn Etholiadol yn uniongyrchol o'r gronfa gyfyng - o fewn ein cymhwysedd ni ar hyn o bryd. Fe wnaiff Anna jest gyfeirio at hwnna'n gyflym, a gallwn ni, os ŷch chi'n moyn, roi mwy o nodyn cyfreithiol i chi ar hynny.
English: Maybe it would be better if you wrote to us with the details of that.
Welsh: Efallai y buasai'n hwylus petai chi'n ysgrifennu atom ni gyda'r manylion hynny.
English: Yes, but maybe Anna can just -
Welsh: Ie, ond efallai y gall Anna jest -
English: Yes, it's worth hearing.
Welsh: Ie, mae'n werth jest clywed.
English: Quickly, because it underpins all of this.
Welsh: Yn gyflym, achos mae'n eithaf creiddiol i hyn oll.
English: Our lawyers have been discussing this with Welsh Government lawyers, and clearly there is a difference of opinion. So, section 124 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 does allow payments to be made from the Welsh consolidated fund to bodies other than those noted in subsection 124, paragraph 3. We accept that we can't add organisations to that particular paragraph, but there is a paragraph within section 124 that allows payments if they are for the use of making payments in accordance with a relevant enactment. So, in this case, this would be the relevant enactment. We would reform the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 and make that the relevant enactment, as a means of making payments directly from the fund. And we don't think that there is any reason of competence why we couldn't use that particular part in section 124.
Welsh: Mae ein cyfreithwyr ni wedi bod yn trafod â chyfreithwyr Llywodraeth Cymru, ac yn amlwg mae gwahaniaeth barn. Felly, mae adran 124 o Ddeddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn caniatáu i daliadau cael eu gwneud allan o gronfa gyfunol Cymru i gyrff heblaw am y rhai sydd wedi eu nodi yn isadran 124, paragraff 3. Rŷn ni'n derbyn bod ddim modd ychwanegu sefydliadau i'r paragraff penodol yna, ond mae yna baragraff o fewn adran 124 sydd yn caniatáu gwneud taliadau os ydynt at ddibenion cwrdd â gwariant sy'n daladwy yn unol â deddfiad perthnasol. Felly, yn yr achos hwn, hwn fyddai'r deddfiad perthnasol. Buasem ni'n diwygio Deddf Pleidiau Gwleidyddol, Etholiadau a Refferenda 2000 ac yn gwneud honno'n Ddeddf berthnasol, fel bod modd gwneud taliadau yn uniongyrchol allan o'r gronfa. A dŷn ni ddim yn credu bod yna unrhyw reswm cymhwysedd pam na fedrwn ni ddefnyddio'r rhan yna o fewn adran 124.
English: We have been discussing the questions I was going to ask for the last 20 minutes. Do you think that the way in which the Counsel General has weighed up the four options against each other has been a process where the right questions have been asked? It has been no small matter, according to him, in terms of reaching his findings.
Welsh: Dŷn ni wedi bod yn trafod y cwestiynau roeddwn i yn mynd i ofyn am yr 20 munud diwethaf. Ydych chi'n meddwl bod y modd mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol wedi pwyso a mesur pedwar opsiwn yn erbyn ei gilydd wedi bod yn broses lle mae'r cwestiynau cywir wedi cael eu gofyn? Hynny ydy, nid ar chwarae bach mae o'n dweud bod e wedi dod at ei ganfyddiad o.
English: No, and in terms of the Counsel General's four options in his correspondence, we agree that the first two options are not appropriate, and, therefore, the difference of opinion comes in-between option three and option four. I am confident that what the Counsel General has done is appropriate. He's come to different conclusions on competence and practicality and on accountability to the conclusions that we have reached. As to the point that Alun Davies made, on occasion there is differing legal opinion on competence. As it happens, I don't know if it's unique to this particular Bill, but it relates to other elements of the Bill too in terms of competence in legislating on the name change, for example, where there was, and continues to be, a difference of opinion between the legal advice that I have received and the legal advice received by Government. So, I do hope that we have outlined so far, although these things are hugely complicated and difficult to explain clearly, why we favour the option of direct funding through the Welsh consolidated fund and direct accountability to the National Assembly, rather than accountability through the Assembly Commission.
Welsh: Na, ac o ran pedwar opsiwn y Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn ei lythyr, yna rŷn ni'n cytuno nad yw'r ddau opsiwn cyntaf yn briodol, ac, felly, mae'r gwahaniaeth barn yn dod rhwng opsiwn tri ac opsiwn pedwar. Dwi'n hollol hyderus bod yr hyn mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol wedi'i ymchwilio yn briodol. Mae e wedi dod i gasgliadau gwahanol ar gymhwysedd ac ar ymarferoldeb ac ar atebolrwydd i'r hyn rŷm ni wedi dod ato. Ar y pwynt roedd Alun Davies yn ei wneud, bob hyn a hyn, mae yna wahanol farn gyfreithiol ar gymhwysedd. Fel mae'n digwydd, dwi ddim yn gwybod a yw e'n rhywbeth sy'n unigryw i'r Bil penodol yma, ond mae e mewn elfennau eraill o'r Bil hefyd ar y cymhwysedd o ran deddfu ar y newid enw, er enghraifft, lle roedd yna, ac mae'n para i fod, wahaniaeth barn rhwng y cyngor cyfreithiol i fi a'r cyngor cyfreithiol i'r Llywodraeth. Felly, dwi'n gobeithio ein bod ni wedi amlinellu, hyd yn hyn, er bod y pethach yma yn ddigon cymhleth i gael dealltwriaeth ohonyn nhw'n glir, pam ŷm ni yn ffafrio yr opsiwn o gyllido'n uniongyrchol o'r gronfa gyfun ac atebolrwydd uniongyrchol i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol, yn hytrach na thrwy Gomisiwn y Cynulliad, felly.
English: What's difficult is, in a week where there's been a great deal of attention placed on legal rulings, rather than having a unanimous view, we have conflicting legal opinions. Where the Counsel General says that he has come to the opinion that the proposal you favour is inappropriate constitutionally and financially, it's difficult to see where the compromise can be reached between that and the legal advice that you're having. Is that a fair comment?
Welsh: Beth sy'n anodd ydy, mewn wythnos lle mae yna sylw mawr wedi cael ei roi ar ddyfarniadau cyfreithiol, yn hytrach nag unfrydedd, fod gennym ni ddwy farn gyfreithiol yn gwrthdaro â'i gilydd. Lle mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn dweud ei fod o wedi dod i'r farn bod y cynnig dŷch chi'n ei ffafrio yn amhriodol yn gyfansoddiadol ac yn ariannol, mae'n anodd gweld lle mae'r cyfaddawd yn dod rhwng hynny a'r cyngor cyfreithiol dŷch chi yn ei gael. Ydy hynny'n sylw teg?
English: Anna, do you want to add anything to my comments?
Welsh: Anna, wyt ti eisiau dweud rhywbeth ychwanegol i beth rydw i wedi ei ddweud?
English: I wanted to mention that, in considering these options carefully, we, as a Commission, have been discussing with the Wales Audit Office too in seeking their views on the options, and they have no objections or no concerns with the option that we have favoured, namely that it should be funded directly from the Welsh consolidated fund. So, we don't accept that there are financial concerns in relation to that. Certainly, there are some complexities that we would need to discuss further with the WAO as to how that would work, and we'll need to discuss it with the Welsh Government too, but we don't understand the constitutional rationale and the financial rationale as to why we can't pursue our favoured option.
Welsh: Roeddwn i eisiau sôn ein bod ni, wrth ystyried yr opsiynau yma yn ofalus, fel Comisiwn, wedi bod yn trafod gyda Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru hefyd i gael eu barn nhw ar yr opsiynau, a does ganddyn nhw ddim objections neu consýrn gyda'r opsiwn dŷn ni yn rhoi yn ei flaen, sef ei fod yn cael ei gyllido yn uniongyrchol o'r gronfa. Felly, dydyn ni ddim yn derbyn bod yna gonsýrn ariannol. Yn sicr, mae yna gymhlethdodau y buasai'n rhaid i ni eu trafod ymhellach gyda Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru ynghylch sut mae rheini yn mynd i weithio, a gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, ond dydyn ni ddim yn deall y rhesymau cyfansoddiadol yna a'r rhesymau ariannol pam na allwn ni fynd ar ôl yr opsiwn rŷn ni'n ei ffafrio.
English: And, of course, the Counsel General says that the auditor general says that there's no problem with the model that he wants to pursue, which confirms what the Chief Executive says, namely that the two options before us are ones that can be implemented - you will make them work. So, what we're discussing here is work processes and what works best for you as a Commission at present. Is that fair?
Welsh: Ac, wrth gwrs, mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn dweud y bydd yr archwilydd yn dweud nad oes yna broblem efo'r model mae o eisiau mynd ar ei drywydd o chwaith, sydd yn cadarnhau'r hyn y mae'r Prif Weithredwr wedi'i ddeud, sef bod y ddau opsiwn sydd o'n blaenau ni yn rhai sydd yn gallu cael eu gweithredu - mi wnewch chi iddyn nhw weithio. Felly, y mater dŷn ni'n ei drafod yn fan hyn yw prosesau gwaith a beth sy'n gweithio orau i chi fel Comisiwn ar hyn o bryd. Ydy hynny'n deg?
English: Well, yes, an element of that is fair, but I would ask the Finance Committee also to consider how it impacts the Finance Committee's scrutiny of budgets in this place, because you are responsible for scrutinising the Assembly Commission's budget at present. Now, because of the timetable, as I've already outlined, the necessary scrutiny by the Assembly Commission of that budget before it was laid would arise from the Electoral Commission estimates. Because of the timetable, we wouldn't receive those estimates in time for the Assembly Commission to scrutinise them properly in order to bring forward -
Welsh: Wel, ydy, mae elfen o hwnna'n deg, ond byddwn i'n gofyn i'r Pwyllgor Cyllid ystyried hefyd sut mae'n effeithio ar sgrwtini'r Pwyllgor Cyllid o gyllidebau yn y lle yma, achos chi'n gyfrifol am sgrwtineiddio cyllideb Comisiwn y Cynulliad ar hyn o bryd. Fe fyddai, oherwydd yr amserlen, fel dwi wedi esbonio eisoes, y sgrwtini angenrheidiol gan Gomisiwn y Cynulliad o'r gyllideb yna cyn cael ei gosod, o estimates y Comisiwn Etholiadol. Oherwydd yr amserlen, byddwn ni ddim yn cael yr estimates mewn pryd i Gomisiwn y Cynulliad fedru sgrwtineddio nhw er mwyn cyflwyno -
English: But these are all things that can be changed. That's the suggestion from the Counsel General - you can change the Standing Orders and you can make adjustments and so forth. You don't accept that it's as simple as that?
Welsh: Ond mae'r rhain i gyd yn bethau a all gael eu newid. Dyna'r awgrym gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol - mae modd newid Rheolau Sefydlog y lle yma, mae modd gwneud addasiadau, ac yn y blaen. Dŷch chi ddim yn derbyn ei bod hi mor syml â hynny?
English: Well, the message has been -
Welsh: Wel, mae neges wedi cael ei -
English: That issue has been raised several times this morning. So, evidently, I think we as a committee would be eager to see the Government and the Llywydd and the commission sitting down again -
Welsh: Mae'r mater yma wedi codi'i ben yn gyson, onid yw e, y bore yma? Felly, yn amlwg, rwy'n credu bydden ni fel pwyllgor yn awyddus iawn i weld y Llywodraeth a'r Llywydd a'r comisiwn yn eistedd i lawer eto, efallai -
English: - to discuss that. Could I just ask one interesting point that arose in the previous session, just to close? In creating a new way of dealing with an external body - that the Electoral Commission is funded through the Assembly Commission - are we creating a risk or setting a precedent that some of the other bodies that are directly funded at present will come to us and say, 'Well, why can't we be funded through the Assembly Commission as well?'
Welsh: - i drafod hyn. Gaf i jest gofyn am un pwynt diddorol a gododd yn y sesiwn flaenorol, jest i gloi? Trwy greu rhyw fath o ffordd newydd o ddelio gyda chorff allanol - bod y Comisiwn Etholiadol yn cael ei gyllido drwy Gomisiwn y Cynulliad - ydyn ni'n creu risg neu'n sefydlu cynsail, efallai, y byddai rhai o'r cyrff eraill sy'n cael eu hariannu'n uniongyrchol ar hyn o bryd yn dod atom ni ac yn dweud, 'Pam na allwn ni gael ein hariannu drwy Gomisiwn y Cynulliad hefyd?'
English: Well, it would, I'm sure, open doors to all sorts of new considerations as to what the appropriate models are. In Scotland, I think seven bodies are directly funded through the Scottish Parliament corporate body. So they've gone down an entirely different route to the Welsh Parliament as these bodies have been established, and therefore it is quite a significant change to what the current understanding of the Assembly Commission's role has been.
Welsh: Wel, mae'n siŵr ei fod e'n agor drysau i bob math o ystyriaeth newydd ar beth yw'r modelau priodol i wneud hyn. Yn yr Alban, dwi'n meddwl bod saith corff yn cael eu hariannu'n uniongyrchol o corporate body Senedd yr Alban. Felly maen nhw wedi mynd i lawr trywydd gwbl wahanol i Senedd Cymru yn y cyfnod o sefydlu'r cyrff yma, ac felly mae e'n newid gweddol o arwyddocaol o beth, hyd yn hyn, mae'r ddealltwriaeth o rôl Comisiwn y Cynulliad wedi bod.
English: And we could use the argument in terms of party political intervention through this committee for some of the other bodies as well couldn't we, possibly?
Welsh: Ac mi allen ni ddefnyddio'r ddadl o safbwynt ymyrraeth pleidiol wleidyddol drwy'r pwyllgor yma o ran rhai o'r cyrff eraill hefyd, onid allwn, o bosib?
English: Yes. Could I thank you for your evidence? If there are no further questions -
Welsh: Ie, dyna fe. Wel, gaf i ddiolch yn fawr i chi am eich tystiolaeth? Os nad oes unrhyw gwestiynau -
English: Exactly, and that's a very important point to emphasise, so thanks for that. Thank you also to the Llywydd for the evidence, and to the officials as well - we're very grateful to you. We now have a few days to report on this issue, and we look forward to a further debate in the whole Assembly next week. Thank you very much to you.
Welsh: Yn union, ac mae hwnna'n bwynt pwysig i'w danlinellu, felly diolch am hynny. Diolch hefyd i'r Llywydd am y dystiolaeth, a'r swyddogion hefyd - dŷn ni'n ddiolchgar iawn i chi. Yn amlwg, mae gennym ni nawr ychydig ddyddiau i adrodd ar y mater yma, ac mi edrychwn ni ymlaen at drafodaeth bellach yn y Cynulliad llawn yr wythnos nesaf. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi.
English: We will now go into private session. So, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 (vi), I propose that the committee resolves to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. Are Members content with that? Fine. Thank you very much. We'll go into private session.
Welsh: Mi awn ni nawr i mewn i sesiwn breifat. Felly, yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42 (vi), dwi'n cynnig bod y pwyllgor yn gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. Ydy Aelodau'n fodlon â hynny? Iawn. Diolch yn fawr. Mi awn ni i mewn, felly, i sesiwn breifat.
English: Good morning, all, and welcome to the latest meeting of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay. Under item 1, introductions, apologies, substitutions and declarations of interest and so forth, may I welcome my fellow Members? We have received apologies from Helen Mary Jones, and Siân Gwenllian is here substituting on her behalf, so, welcome, Siân. And also we've received apologies from Lynne Neagle. I can explain to everyone that this meeting is bilingual, naturally. Headphones can be used for simultaneous translation from Welsh to English on channel 1, or for amplification on channel 2. And also we're not expecting a fire alarm this morning, so, in the event of a fire alarm, directions from the ushers should be followed to escape in an orderly manner. Also, to those we have with us this morning, the microphones work automatically. There's no need to touch anything. The people behind the screens know who's going to speak, so everything happens automatically.
Welsh: Bore da i chi i gyd, a chroeso i gyfarfod diweddaraf y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yn y Senedd ym Mae Caerdydd. O dan eitem 1, cyflwyniadau, ymddiheuriadau, dirprwyon ac ati, a datgan buddiannau, a allaf estyn estyn croeso i'm cyd-Aelodau? Dŷn ni wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau oddi wrth Helen Mary Jones, ac mae Siân Gwenllian yma yn dirprwyo ar ei rhan, felly, croeso, Siân. A hefyd dŷn ni wedi derbyn ymddiheuriadau gan Lynne Neagle. Gallaf bellach egluro i bawb, wrth gwrs, bod y cyfarfod yma'n ddwyieithog. Gellir defnyddio clustffonau i glywed cyfieithu ar y pryd o'r Gymraeg i'r Saesneg ar sianel 1 neu i glywed cyfraniadau yn yr iaith wreiddiol yn well ar sianel 2. Hefyd, dŷn ni ddim yn disgwyl y larwm tân yn canu'r bore yma, felly os bydd y larwm tân yn canu, dylid dilyn cyfarwyddiadau'r tywyswyr a dianc mewn modd sydd dan reolaeth. Hefyd, i'r sawl sydd efo ni'r bore yma, mae'r meicroffonau'n gweithio'n awtomatig. Does dim angen cyffwrdd â dim byd. Mae'r bobl tu ôl i'r sgriniau yn gwybod pwy sy'n mynd i siarad, ac felly mae popeth yn digwydd yn awtomatig.
English: That brings us on, therefore, to item 2 and a continuation of our inquiry as a committee into the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill, an evidence session with the community health councils, Stage 1. Therefore, welcome, all. This is the committee's sixth evidence session on the Bill, the health and social care quality and engagement Bill. We've also received an abundance of written evidence beforehand, including great evidence from community health councils. So, thank you very much beforehand. So, I'm very pleased to welcome to the table to provide oral evidence John Pearce, chair, board of community health councils, Alyson Thomas, chief executive, board of community health councils, Geoff Ryall-Harvey, chief officer, north Wales community health council, and Mansell Bennett, chair of Hywel Dda Community Health Council. Welcome to you all. I understand that the chair wishes to make a short opening statement. We have a series of questions to ask you that are based on the evidence that we've received beforehand. But may I introduce John? If you'd like to make a short statement, then we'll go straight into questions. Thank you.
Welsh: Mae hwnna'n dod â ni, felly, at eitem 2, a pharhad efo'n hymchwiliad ni fel pwyllgor Cyfnod 1 mewn i Fil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru), sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda chynghorau iechyd cymuned. Felly, croeso i bawb. I'r perwyl yna, dyma'r chweched sesiwn dystiolaeth mae'r pwyllgor yma wedi'i chael ar y Bil yma, ar y Bil iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Dŷn ni hefyd wedi derbyn toreth o dystiolaeth ysgrifenedig ymlaen llaw, gan gynnwys tystiolaeth fendigedig gan gynghorau iechyd cymuned. Felly, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi ymlaen llaw. Felly, dwi'n falch iawn o groesawu i'r bwrdd i roi tystiolaeth ar lafar y bore yma John Pearce, cadeirydd bwrdd y cynghorau iechyd cymuned, Alyson Thomas, prif weithredwr bwrdd y cynghorau iechyd cymuned, Geoff Ryall-Harvey, prif swyddog cyngor iechyd cymuned gogledd Cymru, a Mansell Bennett, cadeirydd Cyngor Iechyd Cymuned Hywel Dda. Croeso i chi i gyd. Dwi'n deall bod y cadeirydd eisiau gwneud datganiad agoriadol byr. Mae gyda ni res o gwestiynau i ofyn i chi sydd wedi'u seilio ar y dystiolaeth dŷn ni wedi'i derbyn ymlaen llaw. Ond gaf i gyflwyno John i ddechrau? Os dŷch chi eisiau gwneud cyflwyniad byr, a wedyn awn ni'n syth mewn i gwestiynau. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Thank you very much. And, of course, there will be an opportunity to follow up some of those themes now, because this committee is doing a line-by-line scrutiny of all the details of the Bill that is before us, so we will be asking you questions on each and every part of it. But you have mentioned some issues already, and now may I ask Siân Gwenllian to start with the questioning? Siân.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Ac, wrth gwrs, bydd yna gyfle i fynd ar ôl rhai o'r themau yna rŵan, achos, wrth gwrs, mae'r pwyllgor hwn yn mynd drwy, linell wrth linell, holl fanylion y Mesur yma sydd gerbron, ac felly byddwn yn gofyn cwestiynau i chi ar bob rhan ohono fe. Ond, wrth gwrs, dŷch chi wedi crybwyll rhai materion eisoes, ac a gaf i ofyn i Siân Gwenllian ddechrau ar y cwestiynau? Siân.
