English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. It was good listening to those ideas. I'm not sure I've got much time left to give any of my own ideas as well; it was quite a long opening. But I'm pleased to move the amendment in the name of Paul Davies on the order paper. Can I say in opening that it's always good to hear the spatial plan, the Wales spatial plan, reinvented and referred to? I would beg to differ, Adam Price; I don't think it was ripped up. I think it left in Andrew Davies's briefcase some years ago and we haven't heard it mentioned since. But it is a good example of the way that, at any point in time, you have one economic policy and that can be the economic policy of the Welsh Government for a given amount of time, but then it is dropped and we move on to something else, and then something else further down the line. Whilst that works over a period of 50, 60 or 70 years - the point you made towards the start of your speech - I'm not sure that that does work over the shorter time that we've had in devolution. I think that the Welsh Government does need to look at that, and to look at a more sustainable policy over the medium term that will give the stability that the economy needs. Whilst there's no doubt that we do need to protect Wales from the immediate fallout of the Brexit vote in terms of replacing the EU funding that will undoubtedly be lost, at least as far as it comes from Brussels, the Welsh Conservatives believe that it is imperative that we work with the UK Government, and indeed other devolved Governments, ahead of the triggering of article 50 and the subsequent negotiations. This, we feel, should be on the face of the motion, which is the reason for our amendment. We've long argued that we need to close the prosperity gap between Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom, as indeed Plaid Cymru seem to agree with. Of course, European structural funds have for a long time been seen as key to doing this, and they have had a part to play, but let's not forget, back at the outset of devolution when this was first founded, back in those days, I think it was Rhodri Morgan who said that Wales would only need one phase of European structural funds and that would deal with the issue. So, it's not just a case of receiving structural funds or funding from wherever it might come. It's a question of that being best spent, and it's a question of those funds being invested in a way that makes the Welsh economy and the regional parts of the Welsh economy such as west Wales and the Valleys more sustainable, and puts it on a more sustainable footing in a way that those areas can generate their own wealth so that they are not so dependent on the grant culture that Adam Price alluded to in future. The motion mentions the WDA and Plaid Cymru want to create or recreate a Welsh Development Agency that is fit for the twenty-first century. That's a key point. It cannot simply be a matter of recreating the old 1970s WDA model, the 1980s WDA model. We cannot and should not seek to turn back the clock, no matter how attractive that might sometimes appear in some quarters. It simply won't work. That said, the loss of the WDA brand was in retrospect a mistake. No, the WDA was not perfect, but it was recognised across the world as the image of Wales, and it did do a great deal to attract inward investment here that would otherwise not have come. However, we do acknowledge that some of those investors were short term. That they clearly were. They came, they took the grants, and moved on, and that was not sustainable. Any new model of attracting investment must focus on aftercare and not just as an afterthought, but as a key part of the original package. I know that there is a degree of aftercare at the moment provided by the Welsh Government. I'm sure that the Minister would make that point. But Welsh Conservatives believe that this should be overhauled and bolstered with speed of response to businesses' concerns and clear lines of communication placed at the heart of the new arrangements. We came up with a model called Destination Cymru. There are other models out there. I know that Plaid Cymru have come forward with their own proposals as well. But, yes, absolutely, our aim as a country must be to grow Welsh business and boost our exports. Turning to the national infrastructure commission, while there can be no doubt that the importance of developing infrastructure has been too often overlooked since the advent of evolution, I'm pleased it's now in the title of the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure, and that's a welcome development. I think I would say we need to be sure that the infrastructure commission, if we have one, does actually deliver what we want, and that we get the right model from the start. But I do agree that the idea of bringing transport, energy and green infrastructure together at the outset is a good one. Too often we've seen the usual silos of Government where departments work in isolation and interaction doesn't happen. Can I say, finally, point 3 is arguably, I think, one of the most important points of the debate - procurement? Yes, we need to increase levels of procurement. No-one argues against that. We've had numerous debates in here over the years and I've argued for a much more robust public sector procurement strategy. How will that strategy look? Well, that's to be decided. But we need to make sure that the Welsh Government doesn't just talk about a national procurement strategy, but that we have one that really works and that is weighted towards home-grown, local Welsh businesses and not just to the larger businesses that it has been pitched to too often in the past.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Roedd yn dda gwrando ar y syniadau hynny. Nid wyf yn siŵr fod gennyf lawer o amser ar ôl i roi fy syniadau fy hun hefyd; roedd yn agoriad braidd yn hir. Ond rwy'n falch i gynnig y gwelliant yn enw Paul Davies ar y papur trefn. A gaf fi ddweud wrth agor ei bod bob amser yn dda clywed y cynllun gofodol, cynllun gofodol Cymru, yn cael ei ailddyfeisio a'i grybwyll? Rwy'n anghytuno, Adam Price; nid wyf yn credu ei fod wedi ei rwygo. Rwy'n credu ei fod wedi ei adael ar ôl ym mag lledr Andrew Davies rai blynyddoedd yn ôl ac nid ydym wedi clywed sôn amdano ers hynny. Ond mae'n enghraifft dda o'r ffordd y mae gennych, ar unrhyw bwynt mewn amser, un polisi economaidd a gall hwnnw fod yn bolisi economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru am gyfnod penodol o amser, ond wedyn caiff ei anghofio a symudwn ymlaen at rywbeth arall, ac yna at rywbeth arall yn nes ymlaen. Er bod hynny'n gweithio dros gyfnod o 50, 60 neu 70 o flynyddoedd - y pwynt a wnaethoch ar ddechrau eich araith - nid wyf yn siŵr fod hynny'n gweithio dros yr amser byrrach rydym wedi ei gael ers datganoli. Credaf fod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru edrych ar hynny, ac edrych ar bolisi mwy cynaliadwy dros y tymor canolig a fydd yn rhoi'r sefydlogrwydd sydd ei angen ar yr economi. Er nad oes amheuaeth fod angen inni amddiffyn Cymru rhag effeithiau uniongyrchol pleidlais i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd o ran cael arian yn lle'r cyllid Ewropeaidd a fydd yn ddi-os yn cael ei golli - cyllid sy'n dod o Frwsel o leiaf - mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn credu ei bod yn hollbwysig ein bod yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU, a Llywodraethau datganoledig eraill yn wir, cyn dechrau proses erthygl 50 a'r trafodaethau fydd yn dilyn hynny. Yn ein barn ni, dylai hyn fod ar wyneb y cynnig, a dyna'r rheswm dros ein gwelliant. Rydym wedi dadlau ers amser bod angen inni gau'r bwlch ffyniant rhwng Cymru a gweddill y Deyrnas Unedig, ac yn wir mae Plaid Cymru i'w gweld yn cytuno â hynny. Wrth gwrs, ers amser hir ystyriwyd bod cronfeydd strwythurol Ewropeaidd yn allweddol i wneud hyn, ac maent wedi bod â rhan i'w chwarae, ond gadewch i ni beidio ag anghofio, nôl ar gychwyn datganoli pan sefydlwyd hyn yn gyntaf, yn ôl yn y dyddiau hynny, rwy'n credu mai Rhodri Morgan a ddywedodd mai un cyfnod o gronfeydd strwythurol Ewropeaidd fyddai ei angen ar Gymru a byddai hynny'n mynd i'r afael â'r mater. Felly, nid mater syml o dderbyn cronfeydd strwythurol neu gyllid o ble bynnag y gallai ddod yw hyn. Mae'n gwestiwn ynglŷn â'r ffordd orau o'i wario, ac mae'n gwestiwn ynglŷn â buddsoddi'r cronfeydd hynny mewn ffordd sy'n gwneud economi Cymru a rhannau rhanbarthol o economi Cymru fel gorllewin Cymru a'r Cymoedd yn fwy cynaliadwy, a'i rhoi ar sail fwy cynaliadwy mewn ffordd sy'n galluogi'r ardaloedd hynny i greu eu cyfoeth eu hunain fel nad ydynt mor ddibynnol ar y diwylliant grantiau y cyfeiriodd Adam Price ato yn y dyfodol. Mae'r cynnig yn crybwyll y WDA ac mae Plaid Cymru am greu neu ail-greu Awdurdod Datblygu Cymru sy'n addas ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Mae hwnnw'n bwynt allweddol. Ni all fod yn fater syml o ail-greu hen fodel y WDA yn y 1970au, model y WDA yn y 1980au. Ni allwn ac ni ddylwn geisio troi'r cloc yn ôl, ni waeth pa mor ddeniadol y gallai hynny ymddangos weithiau mewn rhai mannau. Yn syml, ni fydd yn gweithio. Wedi dweud hynny, roedd colli brand y WDA yn gamgymeriad wrth edrych yn ôl. Na, nid oedd y WDA yn berffaith, ond câi ei gydnabod ar draws y byd fel y ddelwedd o Gymru, ac fe wnaeth lawer iawn i ddenu mewnfuddsoddiad yma na fyddai wedi dod fel arall. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn cydnabod mai byrdymor oedd rhai o'r buddsoddwyr hynny. Mae hynny'n amlwg. Fe ddaethant, cymryd y grantiau, a symud oddi yma, ac nid oedd hynny'n gynaliadwy. Rhaid i unrhyw fodel newydd o ddenu buddsoddiad ganolbwyntio ar ôl-ofal ac nid fel ôl-ystyriaeth yn unig, ond fel rhan allweddol o'r pecyn gwreiddiol. Gwn fod rhywfaint o ôl-ofal yn cael ei ddarparu ar hyn o bryd gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Rwy'n siŵr y byddai'r Gweinidog yn gwneud y pwynt hwnnw. Ond mae'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn credu y dylid ailwampio hyn a'i atgyfnerthu gan wneud ymateb cyflym i bryderon busnesau a llinellau cyfathrebu clir yn ganolog i'r trefniadau newydd. Rydym wedi creu model o'r enw Cyrchfan Cymru. Mae modelau eraill i'w cael. Gwn fod Plaid Cymru wedi cyflwyno eu cynigion eu hunain hefyd. Ond yn bendant, fel gwlad rhaid i ni wneud tyfu busnesau Cymru a hybu ein hallforion yn nod. Gan droi at y comisiwn seilwaith cenedlaethol, er nad oes unrhyw amheuaeth fod pwysigrwydd datblygu seilwaith yn fater sydd wedi cael ei esgeuluso yn rhy aml ers dechrau datganoli, rwy'n falch ei fod yn awr yn nheitl Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a'r Seilwaith, ac mae hwnnw'n ddatblygiad i'w groesawu. Rwy'n credu y byddwn yn dweud bod angen i ni sicrhau bod y comisiwn seilwaith, os cawn un, yn cyflawni'r hyn rydym ei eisiau mewn gwirionedd, a'n bod yn cael y model cywir o'r dechrau. Ond rwy'n cytuno bod y syniad o ddod â thrafnidiaeth, ynni a seilwaith gwyrdd at ei gilydd ar y cychwyn yn un da. Yn rhy aml, rydym wedi gweld seilos arferol y Llywodraeth lle mae adrannau'n gweithio ar wahân a lle nad oes rhyngweithio'n digwydd. A gaf fi ddweud, yn olaf, mai pwynt 3 o bosibl yw un o bwyntiau pwysicaf y ddadl, rwy'n credu - caffael? Oes, mae angen i ni gynyddu lefelau caffael. Nid oes neb yn dadlau yn erbyn hynny. Rydym wedi cael nifer o ddadleuon yn y fan hon dros y blynyddoedd ac rwyf wedi dadlau o blaid strategaeth gaffael lawer cadarnach ar gyfer y sector cyhoeddus. Sut beth fydd y strategaeth honno? Wel, mae hynny i'w benderfynu. Ond mae angen inni wneud yn siŵr fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud mwy na siarad am strategaeth gaffael genedlaethol, a bod gennym un sy'n gweithio go iawn ac wedi ei phwysoli tuag at fusnesau Cymreig cynhenid lleol ac nid yn unig tuag at y busnesau mwy o faint y mae wedi gogwyddo tuag atynt yn rhy aml yn y gorffennol.
