English: Can I thank the Member for his contribution and for generously welcoming the statement today? I'm very pleased, in particular, by his recognition of the public investment with a social purpose ethos that is right at the heart of the economic action plan. Investment clarity and simplicity was something that many, many business stakeholder groups called for. I'm pleased that we've responded with the establishment of the economy futures fund, and that Business Wales will be working more closely with Careers Wales, so that we will have a far clearer and far simpler method of drawing down not just financial support but also advice from businesses. I should assure Members that the ministerial advisory board will not have a role in determining funding applications. There will be no additional bureaucracy associated with the establishment of the ministerial advisory board with regard to any applications that come forward from businesses for the economy futures fund, or any other fund for that matter. The ministerial advisory board is there to provide challenge and advice to us as we implement further other parts of the plan and as we test its impact. One of the early pieces of work that the ministerial advisory board will be undertaking will be a review of the impact of the economic contract. It's absolutely vital that we're able to demonstrate that the contract is indeed leading to improvements in terms of quality of work and working practices, that it is leading to an accelerated pace of decarbonisation within the workplace, and that it's contributing to growth - either directly to a business concerned or within the supply chain. And we have fully engaged with the business community - the Member is right - during the process of designing the plan and designing the implementation of it. I can assure Members that any business failing to comply with the economic contract - while they may not be able to apply for direct financial support in that instance, what they will be given is support and advice in order to improve their working ways so that they can come back round to the door and reapply.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gyfraniad ac am groesawu'r datganiad heddiw yn hael? Rwy'n falch iawn, yn arbennig, o'i gydnabyddiaeth o'r buddsoddiad cyhoeddus sydd â diben cymdeithasol iddo ac sydd wrth wraidd y cynllun gweithredu economaidd. Roedd eglurder a symlrwydd wrth fuddsoddi yn rhywbeth y galwodd llawer iawn o grwpiau rhanddeiliaid busnes amdano. Rwy'n falch ein bod wedi ymateb drwy sefydlu cronfa dyfodol yr economi, ac y bydd Busnes Cymru yn gweithio'n fwy agos gyda Gyrfa Cymru, fel y bydd gennym ni ddull llawer cliriach a symlach o lawer o roi nid yn unig cymorth ariannol ond hefyd cyngor gan fusnesau. Dylwn sicrhau'r Aelodau na fydd gan y bwrdd cynghori gweinidogol swyddogaeth wrth benderfynu ar geisiadau am arian. Ni fydd unrhyw fiwrocratiaeth ychwanegol yn gysylltiedig â sefydlu'r bwrdd cynghori gweinidogol o ran unrhyw geisiadau a gyflwynir gan fusnesau ar gyfer cronfa dyfodol yr economi, neu unrhyw gronfa arall yn hynny o beth. Swyddogaeth y bwrdd cynghori gweinidogol yw ein herio a'n cynghori wrth inni weithredu rhannau eraill y cynllun ymhellach ac wrth inni brofi ei effaith. Un o'r darnau cyntaf o waith y bydd y bwrdd cynghori gweinidogol yn ei wneud fydd cynnal adolygiad o effaith y contract economaidd. Mae'n gwbl hanfodol ein bod yn gallu dangos bod y contract yn wir yn arwain at welliannau o ran ansawdd gwaith ac arferion gwaith, ei fod yn arwain at gyfradd gyflymach o ddatgarboneiddio yn y gweithle, a'i fod yn cyfrannu at dwf - naill ai yn uniongyrchol i un o'r busnesau dan sylw neu yn y gadwyn gyflenwi. Ac rydym ni wedi ymgysylltu'n llawn gyda'r gymuned fusnes - mae'r Aelod yn gywir - yn ystod y broses o lunio'r cynllun a chynllunio sut i'w weithredu. Gallaf sicrhau aelodau bod unrhyw fusnes sy'n methu â chydymffurfio gyda'r contract economaidd - er na fyddant efallai yn gallu gwneud cais am gymorth ariannol uniongyrchol yn yr achos hwnnw, yr hyn a roddir iddyn nhw yw cymorth a chyngor er mwyn gwella eu dulliau gweithio fel y gallan nhw ymgeisio rywbryd eto.
