English: I think it's a bit of both. As I mentioned earlier, because of the complexity of putting the whole framework in place, and all of the different things that needed to exist before anything could be done, then that was one aspect of the complexity - as much as it was a complexity, it was also burdensome and very difficult work. Then, the detail of the various statutory instruments that impose standards does place another layer of complexity above the Measure itself, which is already very, very detailed as to how it operates. So, I do think that those two things exist, and one thing that we should bear in mind is that, although the Measure is now almost eight years old, it's been a relatively short period of time in which the standards have been able to prove their worth. Having read the reports of the commissioner and her evidence to this committee, then it does appear that there is evidence that the standards are working. That is to say this additional level of enforcement and regulation seems to have led to a greater willingness to comply in terms of those who are subject to standards, so that they're taking it more seriously. Certainly, as a service user who wishes to use the Welsh language as much as possible in my daily life, then the Welsh language is far more visible and far more accessible within the services that one uses than was the case before the standards came into force. So, it's important, in focusing on and criticising the minutiae and the very bureaucratic nature of the regime, that we don't lose sight of its value as a regulatory system that is working. So, my view is: fewer, simplified, more direct standards - but don't actually lose that regulatory regime.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu ychydig o'r ddau. Fel y gwnes i grybwyll gynnau, oherwydd cymhlethdod gosod yr holl fframwaith yn ei le, a'r holl wahanol bethau oedd yn gorfod bodoli cyn bod unrhyw beth yn gallu cael ei wneud, mi oedd hynny'n un agwedd ar gymhlethdod - yn gymaint ag yn gymhlethdod, mi oedd yn faich ac mi oedd yn waith trwm iawn. Wedyn, mae manylder y gwahanol offerynnau statudol sydd yn gosod y safonau yn gosod haenen arall o gymhlethdod uwchben y Mesur ei hun, sydd yn fanwl tu hwnt ynglŷn â'r ffordd y mae'n gweithredu. Felly, rydw i'n credu bod y ddau beth yn bodoli, ond rydw i'n credu mai un peth y dylem ni ei gofio yw mai cymharol ychydig amser - . Er bod y Mesur nawr bron yn wyth mlwydd oed, cymharol ychydig amser mae'r safonau wedi ei gael i brofi eu gwerth. O ddarllen adroddiadau'r comisiynydd a'i thystiolaeth i'r pwyllgor hwn, mae'n ymddangos bod yna dystiolaeth fod y safonau'n gweithio. Hynny yw, mae'r elfen ychwanegol yma o orfodaeth ac o reoleiddio fel petasai wedi arwain at fwy o barodrwydd i gydymffurfio ar ran y rhai hynny sydd yn ddarostyngedig i safonau, a chymryd y peth mwy o ddifri. Yn sicr, fel defnyddiwr o'r Gymraeg sy'n dymuno defnyddio'r Gymraeg gymaint ag y gallaf i yn fy mywyd bob dydd, mae'r Gymraeg yn llawer mwy gweladwy ac yn llawer mwy hygyrch oddi fewn i wasanaethau y mae rhywun yn eu defnyddio nag yr oedd cyn bod y safonau yn dod i rym. Felly, mae'n bwysig ein bod ni ddim, wrth ganolbwyntio a beirniadu gorfanylder a natur fiwrocrataidd y gyfundrefn, yn colli ei gwerth hi fel cyfundrefn reoleiddio sydd yn gweithio. Felly, fy marn i yw: llai o safonau, mwy syml, mwy uniongyrchol - ond peidiwch â cholli'r drefn rheoleiddio ar yr un pryd.
