English: Well, because this is a whole new area - not just of course for the Welsh Government, but for the UK Government as well - we have massively increased, as has the UK Government, the number of people involved in this space in terms of trade, to make sure that, as you suggest, our voice is heard loud and clear. Not so much with the EU negotiations, where the approach and the discussions have been pretty random in terms of how we're able to contribute there, but I've got to say that when we're talking about the rest of the world, those negotiations and those discussions with the UK Government and our opportunity to feed into the negotiations has been a really constructive relationship. We've not only fed in, but we've actually seen the results of us feeding in, and so I think we've got to pay respect to the UK Government in this space, and I'm really pleased to see that that is happening. We hope, of course, to continue in that vein. We're waiting still, of course, for the concordat to be signed so that we'll have that on a formal basis, but to be fair to the UK Government, they're acting at the moment as if the concordat were in place. That is a formal structure for negotiation. And they also are having a refresh of their export strategy, so we are keeping an eye on that to make sure that whatever we do dovetails in with what they're doing as well.
Welsh: Wel, oherwydd bod hwn yn faes hollol newydd - nid dim ond i Lywodraeth Cymru wrth gwrs, ond i Lywodraeth y DU hefyd - rydym ni wedi cynyddu'n aruthrol, fel y mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi gwneud, nifer y bobl sy'n ymwneud â'r maes hwn o ran masnach, er mwyn sicrhau, fel yr awgrymwch chi, fod ein llais yn cael ei glywed yn glir iawn. Nid yn gymaint o ran trafodaethau'r UE, lle mae'r dull o weithredu a'r trafodaethau wedi bod yn eithaf mympwyol o ran sut yr ydym yn gallu cyfrannu, ond mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, pan fyddwn yn sôn am weddill y byd, bod y trafodaethau hynny a'r trafodaethau hynny gyda Llywodraeth y DU a'n cyfle i gyfrannu at y trafodaethau wedi bod yn berthynas adeiladol iawn. Nid yn unig yr ydym ni wedi cyfrannu, ond rydym ni wedi gweld canlyniadau'r ffaith ein bod ni'n cyfrannu, felly rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i ni dalu teyrnged i Lywodraeth y DU yn y maes hwn, ac rwy'n falch iawn o weld bod hynny'n digwydd. Gobeithiwn, wrth gwrs, barhau yn yr ysbryd hwnnw. Rydym yn aros o hyd, wrth gwrs, i'r concordat gael ei lofnodi er mwyn i ni gael hynny'n ffurfiol, ond er mwyn bod yn deg â Llywodraeth y DU, maen nhw'n gweithredu ar hyn o bryd fel petai'r concordat ar waith. Mae hwnnw'n strwythur ffurfiol ar gyfer negodi. Ac maen nhw hefyd yn adnewyddu eu strategaeth allforio, felly rydym yn cadw llygad ar hynny i sicrhau bod beth bynnag a wnawn yn cydweddu â'r hyn y maen nhw'n ei wneud hefyd.
English: Minister, I appreciate the comments you're making regarding the concordat being effectively in place because of individuals' positions, but surely it's important that we need that concordat signed. I have deep concerns over some of these agreements. For example, in the Japanese-UK discussions, the Japanese have already indicated that they want a six-week completion date. That puts a lot of pressure upon the process, and how can we be assured that the Welsh voice and the interest of Welsh citizens, in such a short timescale, are being delivered and met? And are you, therefore, in the room when discussions have been taking place? Do they report back to you? How can we have that assurance, and how can we scrutinise that deal?
Welsh: Gweinidog, rwy'n gwerthfawrogi'r sylwadau yr ydych yn eu gwneud ynglŷn â bod y concordat mewn grym i bob pwrpas oherwydd sefyllfaoedd unigolion, ond onid yw hi'n bwysig inni fod y concordat hwnnw'n cael ei lofnodi. Mae gennyf bryderon mawr ynghylch rhai o'r cytundebau hyn. Er enghraifft, yn y trafodaethau rhwng Japan a'r DU, mae'r Japaneaid eisoes wedi dweud eu bod eisiau dyddiad cwblhau o chwe wythnos. Mae hynny'n rhoi llawer o bwysau ar y broses, a sut allwn ni fod yn sicr bod llais Cymru a buddiannau dinasyddion Cymru, mewn cyn lleied o amser, yn cael eu cyflawni? Ac a ydych chi, felly, yn yr ystafell yn ystod trafodaethau? A ydynt yn adrodd yn ôl i chi? Sut allwn ni gael y sicrwydd hwnnw, a sut allwn ni graffu ar y cytundeb hwnnw?
English: Well, just to be clear that we're not just starting the negotiations here. We have been discussing with the UK Government since February and March, feeding into what we think those negotiating mandates should look like, and I'm glad to say that we've actually had an influence there. So, the text has been amended, for example, in relation to the Japanese text, to make sure that there's a reaffirmation of those commitments to the UN framework convention on climate change and the Paris agreement. That wasn't there before; it's there now because we pushed that. So, we've already had an impact, I think, in terms of the negotiating mandate. We are intensely aware of the very short time frame in which we are working. The Japanese Parliament - the National Diet - needs that to be in place by the end of September. So, they've made it clear they want an agreement, really, by the end of July. So, those negotiations are happening at pace. We get a briefing before the negotiations start, and in fact we're having a briefing with Greg Hands, the Minister, tomorrow, and we get an update after the negotiations happen. So, that is a rhythm that we are very comfortable with.
Welsh: Wel, i fod yn glir, nid dim ond dechrau'r trafodaethau yma yr ydym ni. Rydym ni wedi bod yn trafod gyda Llywodraeth y DU ers mis Chwefror a mis Mawrth, gan gyfrannu at yr hyn y credwn y dylai ffurf y mandadau negodi hynny fod, ac rwy'n falch o ddweud ein bod ni wedi cael dylanwad yn hynny o beth mewn gwirionedd. Felly, mae'r testun wedi cael ei ddiwygio, er enghraifft, mewn cysylltiad â'r testun Japaneaidd, i sicrhau bod yna gadarnhad o'r ymrwymiadau hynny i gonfensiwn fframwaith y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar newid yn yr hinsawdd a chytundeb Paris. Nid oedd hynny yno o'r blaen; mae yno nawr oherwydd inni wthio hynny. Felly, rydym ni eisoes wedi cael effaith, rwy'n credu, o ran y mandad negodi. Rydym yn hynod ymwybodol o'r amserlen fer iawn yr ydym yn gweithio iddi. Mae ar Senedd Japan - y Diet Cenedlaethol - angen i hwnnw fod yn ei le erbyn diwedd mis Medi. Felly, maen nhw wedi ei gwneud hi'n glir eu bod eisiau cytundeb, mewn gwirionedd, erbyn diwedd mis Gorffennaf. Felly, mae'r trafodaethau hynny'n digwydd yn gyflym. Rydym ni'n cael sesiwn friffio cyn i'r trafodaethau ddechrau, ac mewn gwirionedd rydym ni'n cael sesiwn friffio gyda Greg Hands, y Gweinidog, yfory, ac rydym ni'n cael diweddariad ar ôl i'r trafodaethau ddigwydd. Felly, mae hynny'n drefniant yr ydym yn gyfforddus iawn ag ef.
English: An integrated impact assessment for the curriculum and assessment Bill has been undertaken. This includes an assessment of its impact on the Welsh language, and the integrated impact assessment was published alongside the White Paper on the Bill in January 2019.
Welsh: Mae asesiad effaith integredig wedi ei gwblhau ar y Bil cwricwlwm ac asesu. Mae hwn yn cynnwys asesiad o'i effaith ar yr iaith Gymraeg, ac fe gyhoeddwyd yr asesiad effaith integredig gyda'r Papur Gwyn ar y Bil ym mis Ionawr 2019.
English: I know that the last thing that you want to see is that the new curriculum would have a detrimental impact in terms of your Government's ambition to reach 1 million Welsh speakers, or, indeed, that it would undermine your efforts in any way. Indeed, any Minister for the Welsh language would seek the opportunity to strengthen the position of the Welsh language through this new legislation. But if it's proved to you that this Bill will have unintended consequences that will be damaging to the Welsh language, would you then be willing to support efforts to change what is on the face of the Bill? That is to say, if it becomes clear during the Bill's journey through the Senedd that the legislation would damage your 1 million Welsh speakers ambition, will you press for change?
Welsh: Dwi'n gwybod mai'r peth olaf yr ydych chi eisiau ei weld ydy fod y cwricwlwm newydd yn cael effaith andwyol o ran uchelgais eich Llywodraeth chi i gyrraedd 1 miliwn o siaradwyr, neu, yn wir, yn tanseilio eich ymdrechion chi mewn unrhyw ffordd. Yn wir, byddai unrhyw Weinidog y Gymraeg am edrych am gyfleon i gryfhau'r Gymraeg drwy'r ddeddfwriaeth newydd yma. Ond os profir i chi y bydd gan y Bil yma ganlyniadau anfwriadol - unintended consequences - fydd yn niweidiol i'r Gymraeg, a fyddwch chi wedyn yn fodlon cefnogi ymdrechion i newid yr hyn fydd ar wyneb y Bil? Hynny yw, os daw hi'n glir yn ystod taith y Bil drwy'r Senedd y byddai'r Ddeddf yn niweidio eich uchelgais 1 miliwn o siaradwyr chi, a wnewch chi bwyso am newid?
English: Well, I would just say that I do have quite intensive discussions with the education Minister on this particular issue. Of course, I would be hugely concerned if there were to be any detrimental impact on the Welsh language. So, it is important to ensure that it's possible to continue to provide immersion education in the Welsh language and that there's no difficulty in that area, and that we also look at the fact that, by 2050, we want to see 40 per cent of our children in Welsh-medium education. So, these issues are raised and, of course, I do hope that, when the Bill is published formally over the next few weeks, things will be in place with which I will be comfortable, and so that those people who are concerned about the Welsh language are also comfortable with what's contained.
Welsh: Wel, fe fyddwn i jest yn dweud mod i yn cael trafodaethau eithaf dwys gyda'r Gweinidog Addysg ar y mater yma. Wrth gwrs, byddwn i'n gofidio'n enbyd pe byddai yna unrhyw achos lle byddai hynny'n cael effaith andwyol ar yr iaith Gymraeg. Felly, mae'n bwysig sicrhau ei bod hi'n bosibl parhau i drochi plant trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg ac nad oes dim anawsterau yn y maes yna, a hefyd ein bod ni'n edrych ar y ffaith, erbyn 2050, ein bod ni eisiau gweld 40 y cant o'n plant ni'n cael addysg drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Felly, mae'r materion yma'n cael eu codi ac, wrth gwrs, dwi'n gobeithio, pan fydd y Bil yn cael ei gyhoeddi mewn ffordd ffurfiol yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf, y bydd pethau mewn lle lle y byddaf i'n gyfforddus gyda nhw ac, wrth gwrs, y bydd pobl sydd yn poeni am yr iaith Gymraeg yn gyfforddus gyda nhw hefyd.
English: Item 6 on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Senedd Commission. All the questions this afternoon will be answered by the Llywydd. Question 1, Helen Mary Jones.
Welsh: Eitem 6 ar ein hagenda y prynhawn yma yw cwestiynau i Gomisiwn y Senedd. Bydd y Llywydd yn ateb pob cwestiwn y prynhawn yma. Cwestiwn 1, Helen Mary Jones.
English: Since 1 June, young people who will be 16 or 17 years old when the Senedd elections next year are held can register to vote. The Commission has created education resources to help young people to understand how our democracy works. These were available on Hwb - the Welsh Government's digital learning and teaching platform - ahead of the opening of registration on 1 June, and additional resources appropriate for use in a number of settings, including for home schooling, will be added shortly. The Commission has written to schools to offer the usual online outreach services, ensuring that the education and engagement team continues to offer direct engagement during this pandemic period.
Welsh: Ers 1 Mehefin, mae pobl ifanc a fydd yn 16 neu'n 17 oed pan gynhelir etholiad y Senedd y flwyddyn nesaf wedi cael cofrestru i bleidleisio. Mae'r Comisiwn wedi creu adnoddau addysg i helpu pobl ifanc i ddeall sut mae ein democratiaeth yn gweithio. Roedd y rhain ar gael ar Hwb - llwyfan dysgu ac addysgu digidol Llywodraeth Cymru - cyn dechrau'r cyfnod cofrestru ar 1 Mehefin, a bydd adnoddau ychwanegol sy'n briodol i'w defnyddio mewn nifer o leoliadau, gan gynnwys ar gyfer addysg gartref, yn cael eu hychwanegu'n fuan. Mae'r Comisiwn wedi ysgrifennu at ysgolion i gynnig y sesiynau allgymorth arferol ar-lein, gan sicrhau bod y tîm addysg ac ymgysylltu â phobl ifanc yn parhau i gynnig ymgysylltiad uniongyrchol yn ystod y cyfnod pandemig yma.
English: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Thank you very much. It's very pleasing to see that there's been such progress on this work at such an incredibly difficult time, when the staff of the Commission have had so many pressures on them. It's also, of course, been very pleasing to see the Youth Parliament continuing its work. Have you been able to make or will you be able to make any assessment about what the registration rate is for that group of young people? Will we be able to know, perhaps by the autumn, where people are registering and where they're not, and might that then be a case for the Commission targeting its resources further if we find that, with particular groups of young people or in particular geographical areas, we haven't got the levels of registration that we would all wish to see?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae'n braf iawn gweld bod cymaint o gynnydd wedi'i wneud ar y gwaith hwn ar adeg mor anodd, pan fo staff y Comisiwn wedi bod o dan gymaint o bwysau. Mae hefyd, wrth gwrs, wedi bod yn braf iawn gweld y Senedd Ieuenctid yn parhau â'i gwaith. A ydych chi wedi gallu gwneud neu a fyddwch yn gallu gwneud unrhyw asesiad ynghylch y gyfradd gofrestru ar gyfer y grŵp hwnnw o bobl ifanc? A gawn ni wybod, erbyn yr hydref efallai, ble mae pobl yn cofrestru a ble nad ydynt yn cofrestru, ac a allai hynny fod yn achos i'r Comisiwn dargedu ei adnoddau ymhellach os byddwn yn canfod, gyda grwpiau penodol o bobl ifanc neu mewn ardaloedd daearyddol arbennig, nad oes cymaint yn cofrestru ag y byddem i gyd yn dymuno ei weld?
English: Well, that's an excellent point that you make. Of course, we will want to keep an eye on the level of registrations by young people. This is a challenging time for everyone as regards carrying out this work, and particularly for local authorities, who are responsible for this registration work on a practical level. So, we do seek to provide local government with as much flexibility as possible during this current time, but, as we move towards the autumn and winter, we will have to look at the numbers that have already registered and see how those patterns are emerging. Where further work is needed, we will work with the Welsh Government, the Electoral Commission and local government in order to ensure that that further work is done so that every young person in Wales is aware of the new right that they will have next year to vote in the Senedd Cymru elections.
Welsh: Wel, mae hwnna'n bwynt ardderchog, ac, wrth gwrs, mi fyddwn ni eisiau cadw golwg ar lefel y cofrestru gan bobl ifanc. Mae hyn yn gyfnod heriol i bawb i wneud y gwaith hyn, ac yn enwedig i awdurdodau lleol, wrth gwrs, sy'n gyfrifol am y gwaith cofrestru yma'n ymarferol. Felly, rydym ni'n ceisio rhoi cymaint o hyblygrwydd i lywodraeth leol ag sy'n bosib yn yr amser sydd gyda ni ar hyn o bryd, ond, wrth i'r hydref agosáu a'r gaeaf, fe fydd yn rhaid i ni edrych ar y niferoedd sydd eisoes wedi cofrestru a gweld sut mae'r patrymau hynna'n datblygu. Lle mae angen gwneud gwaith pellach, mi fyddwn ni'n gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, y Comisiwn Etholiadol a llywodraeth leol i sicrhau bod y gwaith pellach yna'n cael ei wneud fel bod pob person ifanc yng Nghymru yn ymwybodol o'r hawl newydd fydd gyda nhw'r flwyddyn nesaf i bleidleisio yn etholiadau Senedd Cymru.
English: The Senedd Commission has been prioritising the work of ensuring that Senedd business continues and that it's safe to return to the estate as restrictions are relaxed. In the last meeting of the Commission, the Commissioners were provided with an update on the arrangements in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic and on preparations to ensure that it would be safe to return to the estate in due course. The Commission's assessment of these preparations is informing Business Committee decisions on the Senedd's activities.
Welsh: Mae Comisiwn y Senedd wedi bod yn rhoi blaenoriaeth i'r gwaith o sicrhau bod busnes y Senedd yn parhau a'i bod yn ddiogel i ddychwelyd i'r ystad wrth i gyfyngiadau gael eu llacio. Yng nghyfarfod diwethaf y Comisiwn, cafodd y Comisiynwyr eu diweddaru am y trefniadau oedd ar waith oherwydd pandemig COVID-19 ac am y paratoadau oedd ar y gweill i sicrhau y byddai'n ddiogel i ddychwelyd i'r ystad maes o law. Mae asesiad y Comisiwn o'r paratoadau hyn yn sail i benderfyniadau'r Pwyllgor Busnes am waith y Senedd.
English: Thank you for that answer. I'd like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to all staff, both Commission and AMSS. They continue to provide the excellent levels of service we have come to expect, even in these trying times. It's clear that staff and Members of the Senedd can work effectively and remotely from home or elsewhere with all of the benefits of not fighting through traffic jams, fewer distractions, and getting more done in less time. Will the Commission now look to embed some of the lessons learnt from lockdown into ways of working for all, so that the Senedd can offer flexible, family-friendly and considerate ways of working for those that want and actually need them? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch am yr ateb yna. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i dalu teyrnged i'r holl staff, y Comisiwn a'r staff cymorth. Maen nhw'n parhau i ddarparu'r lefelau rhagorol o wasanaeth yr ydym wedi dod i'w disgwyl, hyd yn oed yn y cyfnod anodd hwn. Mae'n amlwg bod staff ac Aelodau'r Senedd yn gallu gweithio'n effeithiol ac o bell, o'u cartrefi neu fannau eraill, gyda'r holl fanteision o beidio gorfod brwydro drwy dagfeydd traffig, llai o bethau'n tynnu sylw oddi ar y gwaith, a'r gallu i wneud mwy mewn llai o amser. A fydd y Comisiwn yn awr yn ceisio ymgorffori rhai o'r gwersi a ddysgwyd o'r cyfyngiadau symud i ffyrdd pawb o weithio, fel y gall y Senedd gynnig dulliau gweithio hyblyg, meddylgar ac ystyriol o deuluoedd ar gyfer y rhai sydd eu heisiau a'u hangen mewn gwirionedd? Diolch.
English: Thank you for the question, Mandy Jones, and thank you also for your thanks for the considerable efforts by the staff of the Commission in making sure that our role as a Senedd in scrutinising Government and passing legislation has been undertaken effectively over the past few weeks. I've been bowled over by the efforts; so many of our staff have been able to achieve so much in difficult working circumstances - working from home, as we have been doing - to ensure that the work of our Senedd continues. So, my personal 'diolch' to them all as well, and I'm sure I speak on behalf of all of us in sharing your thanks, Mandy Jones for that. And yes, we have worked with the frustrations of working remotely, but we've also seen many of the benefits of working remotely, both as a Senedd in our business and also in the work that our staff are able to do remotely. We'll learn the lessons from this and, I've no doubt, like many other aspects of life, our Senedd and the Commission will be working in different ways in the years to come because of the experiences of this time of pandemic. And there will be good that comes from this in terms of designing our future working lives.
Welsh: Diolch am y cwestiwn, Mandy Jones, a diolch hefyd am ddiolch am ymdrechion sylweddol staff y Comisiwn i wneud yn siŵr bod ein swyddogaeth fel Senedd wrth graffu ar waith y Llywodraeth a phasio deddfwriaeth wedi cael ei wneud yn effeithiol dros yr wythnosau diwethaf. Rwyf wedi cael fy syfrdanu gan yr ymdrechion; mae cymaint o'n staff wedi gallu cyflawni cymaint mewn amgylchiadau gweithio anodd - gweithio o gartref, fel y buom ni yn ei wneud - sicrhau bod gwaith ein Senedd yn parhau. Felly, rwy'n diolch yn bersonol iddyn nhw i gyd hefyd, ac rwy'n siŵr fy mod yn siarad ar ran pawb ohonom ni wrth rannu eich diolch, Mandy Jones, am hynny. A do, buom yn gweithio gyda'r rhwystredigaethau o weithio o bell, ond rydym hefyd wedi gweld llawer o'r manteision o weithio o bell, o ran busnes y Senedd a hefyd yn y gwaith y mae ein staff yn gallu ei wneud o bell. Byddwn yn dysgu'r gwersi o hyn ac nid oes amheuaeth gennyf, fel llawer agwedd arall ar fywyd, bydd ein Senedd a'r Comisiwn yn gweithio mewn ffyrdd gwahanol yn y blynyddoedd i ddod oherwydd profiadau'r cyfnod hwn o bandemig. A daw daioni o hyn o ran cynllunio ein bywydau gwaith yn y dyfodol.
English: As you know, with the agreement of the Business Committee, the Senedd will trial hybrid Plenary meetings on 8 and 15 July. Under this model, up to 20 Members can participate from the Siambr, whilst other Members will participate virtually. In addition to developing technologies and proceedings to allow us to support virtual and hybrid proceedings, Senedd staff have developed a remote voting application. This will enable Members to vote individually from remote locations. This will be used for the first time in Plenary next week.
Welsh: Fel y gwyddoch, gyda chytundeb y Pwyllgor Busnes, bydd y Senedd yn treialu Cyfarfodydd Llawn hybrid ar 8 a 15 Gorffennaf. O dan y model yma, gall hyd at 20 o Aelodau gymryd rhan yn y Siambr, tra bydd gweddill yr Aelodau yn cymryd rhan o bell. Yn ogystal â datblygu technoleg a gweithdrefnau i ganiatáu i ni gynnal cyfarfodydd rhithwir a hybrid, mae staff Comisiwn y Senedd wedi datblygu system electronig o bleidleisio o bell, a bydd hyn yn caniatáu i'r Aelodau bleidleisio'n unigol o bell. Caiff hyn ei ddefnyddio am y tro cyntaf yn y Cyfarfod Llawn yr wythnos nesaf.
English: Thank you very much. I appreciate the efforts that you, the Commission and the staff have made in enabling us to work as we do. It strikes me, Llywydd, as I look at you on the screen and look at other Members, too, that we have an opportunity here to consider not just how we arrange our business, but how we consider that business, and I would like you, as Llywydd, to use the opportunity that we've had during this period to lead a debate among Members and others in terms of how we arrange our business and the kind of business that we do discuss in our Plenary and committee sessions, and to look, before the end of this Senedd term, to test new ways of working, new ways of arranging business, so that when it comes to the end of this Senedd term, we will have had the opportunity to consider alternative ways of working before the next elections.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr am hynny, a dwi'n gwerthfawrogi yr ymdrechion dŷch chi a'r Comisiwn a'i staff wedi eu gwneud i'n galluogi ni i weithio fel yr ydym ni. Mae'n fy nharo i, Llywydd, fel dwi'n edrych arnoch chi ar y sgrin, ac edrych ar Aelodau eraill o fy mlaen i, fod gennym ni gyfle fan hyn i ystyried nid jest sut dŷn ni'n trefnu ein busnes, ond sut rydym ni'n ystyried y busnes ei hun, a liciwn i pe baech chi, fel Llywydd, yn gallu defnyddio'r cyfle dŷn ni wedi'i gael yn ystod y cyfnod yma i arwain trafodaeth ymhlith Aelodau ac eraill amboutu sut dŷn ni'n trefnu busnes a'r math o fusnes dŷn ni'n ei drafod yn ein sesiynau Plenary ac mewn pwyllgorau, ac edrych, cyn bod y Senedd yma'n dod i ben, i brofi ffyrdd gwahanol o weithio, ffyrdd gwahanol o drefnu busnes, so, pan fydd hi'n dod i ddiwedd y Senedd yma, fe fyddwn ni wedi cael y cyfle i ystyried ffyrdd gwahanol o weithio cyn yr etholiadau nesaf.
