English: Thank you, Llywydd, and may I start by congratulating you on your election as Llywydd? It's good to see a member of Plaid Cymru winning at least one election this afternoon, but may I extend the same congratulations to David Rees, and, of course, I extend my warmest congratulations to Mark Drakeford on being confirmed as First Minister this afternoon? As I said following the result of the election, Mark Drakeford did secure a mandate to lead the Welsh Government for the ensuing period, and I would sincerely want to wish him well in dealing with the challenges and opportunities of the next months and years. From a Plaid Cymru perspective, I'm very proud of the committed, energetic team that we have on our benches and joining us virtually today, of course, and the new and innovative ideas that they will bring to the sixth Senedd and to Welsh politics more generally. I want to take this opportunity too to pay tribute and to thank Leanne Wood, Helen Mary Jones, Dai Lloyd and Bethan Sayed for their work and public service over a number of years in serving their communities and Welsh democracy. The sixth Senedd will be poorer without them. I look forward to working with my fellow Members as we continue to build the case for independence and to continue to scrutinise constructively but robustly the Welsh Government's response to COVID as we recover from the pandemic. We will look for all opportunities to work in this Chamber and outside of it in order to implement our transformational programme and to be a voice for the hopes and aspirations of the communities that have elected us to represent them here. It feels that we are returning to a Senedd that is more confident in its own skin. The Senedd elected does demonstrate that the people of Wales voted by a vast majority in favour of self-government and put its faith in a Welsh Government and a Welsh Senedd to make the important decisions about their lives, including keeping them safe and safeguarding their health. The First Minister stood on a platform that stated that the UK was over and that we needed far-reaching constitutional reform and reconstruction, with more powers to Wales. That's his mandate, and we will hold him to that commitment. Just yesterday, we saw Michael Gove rejecting the call for home rule, despite the vote of confidence from the people of Wales in this place. The Westminster attacks on devolution are only beginning. As the UK dismantles over ensuing years, we in Plaid Cymru are as convinced as ever that we need a new Wales, a united Wales, a free Wales, an equal Wales, where the future of Wales will be in the hands of Wales. And this is the real oath that we as Members of Plaid Cymru have taken in taking our seats in our national Parliament here.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd, a gaf i ddechrau trwy eich llongyfarch chi ar gael eich ethol fel Llywydd? Mae'n dda i weld aelod o Blaid Cymru yn ennill o leiaf un etholiad y prynhawn yma, ond gaf i hefyd estyn yr un llongyfarchiadau i David Rees, ac, wrth gwrs, estyn fy llongyfarchiadau gwresog i Mark Drakeford ar gael ei gadarnhau fel Prif Weinidog y prynhawn yma? Fel y dywedais i ar ôl canlyniad yr etholiad, gwnaeth Mark Drakeford sicrhau mandad i arwain Llywodraeth Cymru dros y cyfnod sy'n dod, a hoffwn i yn ddiffuant ddymuno yn dda iddo fe wrth ddelio â heriau a chyfleoedd y misoedd a'r blynyddoedd nesaf. O safbwynt Plaid Cymru, dwi'n hynod falch o'r tîm egnïol ac ymroddedig sydd gennym ar ein meinciau ac yn ymuno â ni'n rhithiol heddiw, wrth gwrs, a'r syniadau newydd a blaengar fyddan nhw'n dod â nhw i'r chweched Senedd ac i wleidyddiaeth Cymru yn fwy cyffredinol. Dwi am gymryd y cyfle hefyd i dalu teyrnged ac i ddiolch i Leanne Wood, Helen Mary Jones, Dai Lloyd a Bethan Sayed am eu gwaith a'u gwasanaeth cyhoeddus dros nifer o flynyddoedd i wasanaethu eu cymunedau a democratiaeth Cymru. Bydd y chweched Senedd yn dlotach lle hebddyn nhw. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gydweithio gyda fy nghyd-Aelodau wrth inni barhau i adeiladu'r achos dros annibyniaeth ac, wrth gwrs, i barhau i graffu, yn adeiladol ond yn gadarn, ar ymateb COVID Llywodraeth Cymru wrth inni symud i gyfnod adfer o'r pandemig. Byddwn ni'n edrych am bob cyfle i weithio yn y Siambr yma a thu allan iddi i weithredu ein rhaglen drawsnewidiol ac i fod yn llais i obeithion a dyheadau'r cymunedau sydd wedi ein hethol ni yma i'w cynrychioli nhw. Mae'n teimlo fel petawn ni'n dychwelyd i Senedd sydd yn fwy hyderus yn ei chroen ei hun, ac mae'r Senedd sydd wedi ei hethol yn dangos bod pobl Cymru wedi pleidleisio o fwyafrif llethol o blaid hunanlywodraeth, ac wedi rhoi ei ffydd mewn Llywodraeth Gymreig a Senedd Gymreig i wneud y penderfyniadau pwysicaf am eu bywydau, gan gynnwys eu cadw nhw'n ddiogel a gwarchod eu hiechyd. Safodd y Prif Weinidog ar blatfform oedd yn dweud bod y Deyrnas Unedig ar ben a bod angen ailstrwythuro a diwygio cyfansoddiadol pellgyrhaeddol, gyda mwy o bwerau i Gymru. Dyna ei fandad, a byddwn ni'n ei ddal i'r ymrwymiad yna. Dim ond ddoe gwelson ni Michael Gove yn gwrthod yr alwad am home rule, ymreolaeth, er gwaethaf y bleidlais o hyder gan bobl Cymru yn y lle yma. Megis dechrau mae ymosodiad San Steffan ar ddatganoli. Wrth i'r Deyrnas Unedig ddatgymalu dros y blynyddoedd sy'n dod, rydyn ni ym Mhlaid Cymru mor grediniol ag erioed bod angen Cymru newydd, Cymru unedig, Cymru rydd, Cymru gydradd, lle bydd dyfodol Cymru yn nwylo Cymru, a dyma'r gwir lw rydyn ni fel Aelodau o Blaid Cymru wedi tyngu wrth gymryd ein seddi yn ein Senedd genedlaethol fan hyn.
