English: I don't think that was the intention when the Measure was drawn up. It was intended that the commissioner would also be involved with promotion and that the promotion and regulation should go hand in hand. Namely, it was regulation for a purpose and that purpose was the well-being of the Welsh language and enhancing and increasing opportunities to use the Welsh language and improve its state in Wales. So, the vision originally, I think, was that both things should work together - that you were regulating for a purpose, in order to promote the language in a way. It's important to bear that in mind because regulation for its own sake, as some sort of internal self-sustaining system, isn't of much use, unless it generates change. What you want with any regime is that the regulation is in place, but in a way, everyone knows it's there and because it's there, everyone complies, so you don't need to turn to it. It is a tool, but it's only there when required, in particular circumstances when there are failures of some kind or another. So, that was the vision, but I do think that you're right - that there is a perception that's developed that the commissioner is a regulator. That's because this whole new regime has taken a great deal of time in, first of all, developing the standards and imposing them. I also think that there is room for improvement. We need to refine the system in terms of enforcement, complaints and the tribunal's role. I don't think that it's the tribunal's fault or the commissioner's fault. Unfortunately, it's down to the Measure itself - that there are too many minutiae that have taken up time and energy. So, we need an element of proportionality in the system in terms of enforcement, in my view. But in moving on, I do want to see a system where the promotion is done for a purpose and the regulation is there to support that as a tool that makes that promotion more effective, so that the results are improved. That would be my response. So, I'm not quite happy with this separation of the two things. And this is my final point. Ultimately, it is the Welsh Government who is tasked with promoting the Welsh language through all of its agencies. They fund the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol at the end of the day. They fund all of the other organisations too. So, it's the Government that holds the power and the authority to promote effectively. There's no doubt about that.
Welsh: Nid dyna fwriadwyd, nid wyf yn meddwl, pan luniwyd y Mesur. Bwriadwyd bod y comisiynydd hefyd yn hyrwyddo a bod yr hyrwyddo a'r rheoleiddio yn digwydd law yn llaw. Hynny ydy, rheoleiddio i bwrpas a'r pwrpas ydy lles yr iaith Gymraeg a chynyddu'r cyfleoedd i'w defnyddio a gwella cyflwr yr iaith yng Nghymru. Felly, y weledigaeth yn wreiddiol, rydw i'n meddwl, oedd bod y ddau beth yn cydweithio gyda'i gilydd - eich bod chi'n rheoleiddio i bwrpas, er mwyn hyrwyddo'r iaith mewn ffordd. Mae'n bwysig cadw golwg ar hynny. Nid yw rheoleiddio er ei les ei hun, fel rhyw fath o system fewnol hunangynhaliol, ddim yn llawer o les, oni bai ei fod o'n creu'r newid. Beth yr ydych ei eisiau mewn ffordd efo unrhyw gyfundrefn ydy bod y rheoleiddio yna, ond mewn ffordd, mae pawb yn gwybod ei fod o yna ac oherwydd ei fod o yna, mae pawb yn cydymffurfio, felly does dim angen troi ato - mae o fel rhyw fath o arf sydd ddim ond yna pan mai ei angen o, mewn amgylchiadau penodol pan fo methiant neu ddiffyg mewn rhyw ffordd. Felly, dyna oedd y weledigaeth, ond rydw i'n credu eich bod chi'n iawn fod yna ganfyddiad wedi datblygu mai rheoleddiwr ydy'r comisiynydd. Mae hynny oherwydd bod yr holl gyfundrefn newydd yma wedi cymryd llawer o amser o ran creu safonau i ddechrau a'u gosod nhw ac yn y blaen. Rydw i'n meddwl hefyd fod yna lefydd i wella. Mae eisiau mireinio'r gyfundrefn o ran gorfodaeth, cwyno a rôl y tribiwnlys. Mae yna le i wella hynny, ac nid bai'r tribiwnlys ac nid bai'r comisiynydd ydy hynny. Yn anffodus, bai'r Mesur ydy hynny - bod gormod o fanion bethau wedi sugno amser ac egni. Felly, mae angen cyflwyno rhyw elfen o gymesuroldeb i'r system o ran rheoleiddio ac o ran gorfodi yn fy marn i. Ond wrth symud ymlaen, rydw i eisiau gweld system lle mae'r hyrwyddo i bwrpas a bod y rheoleiddio yna i gefnogi'r hyrwyddo fel arf sydd yn gwneud yr hyrwyddo yn fwy effeithol - bod y results, y canlyniadau, yn well. Dyna fuaswn i'n ei ddweud fel ymateb i hynny. Felly, nid wyf i'n hollol hapus efo'r rhaniad yna rhwng dau beth. Y pwynt olaf, mae'n ddrwg gennyf i: Llywodraeth Cymru yn y pen draw sydd â'r dasg o hyrwyddo'r iaith Gymraeg drwy'r holl asiantaethau. Nhw sy'n ariannu'r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol yn y pen draw. Nhw sydd yn ariannu'r holl gyrff eraill. Felly, y Llywodraeth sydd gan y grym a'r awdurdod i hyrwyddo yn effeithiol. Nid oes yna ddim dwywaith am hynny.
