English: Thank you, Llywydd. If I can just say at the onset, before I start my next part, I am trying to be helpful. This is going to pass; we know already where the votes are today with Labour and Plaid Cymru. However, part of my role as an Assembly Member in scrutiny is to challenge as well, and I am, in my own way, trying to be helpful. Now, what I'm asking isn't untoward. Examples of an open-ended duty of awareness can be found within the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Bill, with the duties placed upon the health bodies and local authorities to promote awareness of the proposed citizen voice body. There is nothing to suggest that this is time-limited. So, there is no reason why this Bill could not have actually had that approach. I still believe a public awareness campaign is vital. In New Zealand, a nationwide poll found that half of New Zealanders believe that the 2007 anti-smacking law has caused a decline in discipline. Almost 40 per cent of mothers of young children say they have smacked despite the law change, and the Curia Market Research poll of 1,000 respondents surveyed at the beginning of December also found low-income families - 63 per cent - were far more likely to flout the law. Seventy per cent said they would not report a parent who they saw smacking their child on the backside or hand, while 20 per cent would. Twenty-two per cent of parents with young children said their child had threatened to report them to the authorities if they were smacked. Fifteen per cent of parents with young children had said they were aware of a family that had been negatively affected by the law, and 17 per cent of parents with young children said the law had made them less confident as a parent; 21 per cent of fathers. So, those are my views, I would ask Members to support - . I cannot see, in my own mind - and members of the public have asked me, why there would be any reticence, and if this law is going to come forward, why you would not actually want to make the awareness campaign as strong as it could be, and, by that, I mean placing it on the face of the Bill.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Os caf ddweud ar y dechrau, cyn imi ddechrau fy rhan nesaf, rwy'n ceisio bod o gymorth. Mae hyn yn mynd i basio; gwyddom eisoes lle mae'r pleidleisiau heddiw o ran Llafur a Phlaid Cymru. Fodd bynnag, rhan o'm swyddogaeth yn Aelod Cynulliad wrth graffu yw herio hefyd, ac rwyf fi, yn fy ffordd fy hun, yn ceisio bod o gymorth. Nawr, nid yw'r hyn yr wyf yn gofyn amdano yn amhriodol. Mae enghreifftiau o ddyletswydd benagored o ran ymwybyddiaeth i'w gweld yn y Bil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol (Ansawdd ac Ymgysylltu) (Cymru), a'r dyletswyddau a roddir ar y cyrff iechyd ac awdurdodau lleol i hybu ymwybyddiaeth o'r corff llais dinasyddion arfaethedig. Nid oes dim i awgrymu bod hyn yn gyfyngedig o ran amser. Felly, nid oes rheswm pam na ellid bod wedi ymdrin â'r Bil hwn yn y ffordd honno mewn gwirionedd. Rwy'n dal i gredu bod ymgyrch i godi ymwybyddiaeth y cyhoedd yn hanfodol. Yn Seland Newydd, canfu arolwg cenedlaethol fod hanner pobl Seland Newydd yn credu bod cyfraith 2007 yn erbyn taro plant wedi achosi dirywiad mewn disgyblaeth. Mae bron i 40 y cant o famau plant ifanc yn dweud eu bod wedi taro eu plentyn er gwaetha'r newid yn y gyfraith, ac roedd pôl piniwn Ymchwil y Farchnad Curia o 1,000 o ymatebwyr a holwyd eu barn ddechrau mis Rhagfyr hefyd wedi canfod bod teuluoedd incwm isel - 63 y cant - yn llawer mwy tebygol o herio'r gyfraith. Dywedodd 70 y cant na fyddent yn rhoi gwybod am riant a welsant yn taro plentyn ar ei ben-ôl neu ar ei law, tra byddai 20 y cant yn gwneud hynny. Dywedodd 22 y cant o rieni â phlant ifanc fod eu plentyn wedi bygwth rhoi gwybod i'r awdurdodau pe baent yn cael eu taro. Dywedodd 15 y cant o rieni â phlant ifanc eu bod yn ymwybodol o deulu y cafodd y gyfraith effaith negyddol arnyn nhw, a dywedodd 17 y cant o rieni â phlant ifanc fod y gyfraith wedi eu gwneud yn llai hyderus fel rhieni; 21 y cant o dadau. Felly, dyna fy marn i, y gofynnaf i'r Aelodau ei chefnogi - . Ni allaf weld, yn fy meddwl fy hun - ac mae aelodau o'r cyhoedd wedi gofyn imi, pam y byddai yna unrhyw dawedogrwydd, ac os yw'r gyfraith hon yn mynd i gael ei chyflwyno, pam na fyddech chi mewn gwirionedd eisiau gwneud yr ymgyrch ymwybyddiaeth mor gryf ag y gallai fod, a thrwy hynny, rwy'n golygu ei rhoi ar wyneb y Bil.
