English: Okay, thank you very, very much. And thank you for the opportunity to appear before the committee once again. It doesn't feel too long ago that I appeared here last, and it isn't that long ago. Right, in terms of the financial situation, may I start, I think, by looking back and then discuss the funding in that context? Inevitably, this is the sixth annual report of the Welsh Language Commissioner. As I've said, inevitably this will be my last opportunity to make comments as Welsh Language Commissioner. By next year's report, there will be a new commissioner in post. So, I am bound to look at six years of operation, and look at the budget in relation to that. In terms of what we've achieved first of all, may I say that I am very proud of what we've achieved in terms of introducing the standards system? Standards are more than a simple mechanism of compliance. They have changed the mindset on the ground, so I do believe that we, through our actions and the actions of those organisations subject to the standards, have led to significant change. By now, to remind you, 104 organisations and institutions work to standards. By the end of this year, that will be up to 122 because the health bodies have been included. In looking at our work and in preparing for this session, I looked back at how many organisations have gone through the standards investigations process, where we've done the preparatory work. And 382 bodies in Wales have gone through that process, where the preparatory work has been done and a report has been presented to Government and they aren't working to standards. So, you're talking about housing associations, you're talking about the water and sewage companies, you're talking about the Royal Mail, you're talking about certain Westminster Government bodies captured under the legislation, you're talking about buses and trains in Wales, and the gas industry. So, a great deal has been achieved, but there's a great deal more to be done. That's happened in terms of the statutory side of the standards. Along with that, I have to admit that there has been an impact in terms of standards work on other sectors as well. We hear a lot of talk about promoting the use of Welsh within the business sector and the third sector, and I can see the impact of the mindset of standards on other institutions and organisations. I can also see the impact of our work with those organisations, and the work of the Welsh Government too. A great deal has been achieved, particularly when you look at that over that six-year period. The reality of the situation is that over the past three years, our budget has flatlined. That's understandable because there are cuts across the public sector - I wouldn't expect us to have been treated differently. But it has been challenging. At the moment, we receive £3,051,000 from the Welsh Government, which is the same figure as last year and the previous year. So, the progress that's been made has happened within a restricted budget.
Welsh: Ocê, diolch yn fawr iawn, iawn. A diolch eto am y cyfle i ymddangos o flaen y pwyllgor. Nid yw'n teimlo'n hir oddi ar i fi ymddangos yn fan hyn, ac nid yw'n hir. Reit, o ran y sefyllfa gyllidol, a gaf i ddechrau, rydw i'n credu, trwy edrych yn ôl ac wedyn sôn am y cyllid ochr yn ochr â hynny? Yn anorfod, dyma chweched adroddiad blynyddol Comisiynydd y Gymraeg. Fel rydw i'n dweud, yn anorfod, dyma'r cyfle olaf rydw i'n ei gael i wneud sylwadau fel Comisiynydd y Gymraeg. Erbyn adroddiad blynyddol y flwyddyn nesaf, fe fydd yna gomisiynydd arall yn eistedd yn y set yma. So, felly, rydw i'n bownd o edrych ar chwe blynedd o weithredu, ac edrych ar y gyllideb ochr yn ochr â hynny. O ran beth rŷm ni wedi ei gyflawni yn gyntaf, a gaf i ddweud fy mod i'n falch iawn o'r hyn yr ydym ni wedi'i gyflawni o ran cyflwyno'r gyfundrefn safonau? Mae'r safonau yn fwy na jest mecanwaith o gydymffurfiaeth. Maen nhw wedi newid meddylfryd ar lawr gwlad, so rydw i'n credu ein bod ni, trwy ein gweithrediad, a gweithrediad y cyrff o dan safonau, wedi arwain at newid sylweddol. Erbyn hyn, i'ch atgoffa chi, mae yna 104 o sefydliadau yn gweithio o dan safonau. Erbyn diwedd y flwyddyn hon, bydd yna 122 o gyrff yn gweithio o dan safonau oherwydd bod y cyrff iechyd wedi cael eu cynnwys. Wrth edrych ar ein gwaith ni ac wrth baratoi at y sesiwn yma heddiw, fe wnes i edrych nôl ar faint o gyrff sydd wedi mynd trwy'r broses ymchwiliad safonau, lle rŷm ni wedi gwneud y gwaith paratoi ar hyd y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Ac mae yna 382 o sefydliadau yng Nghymru sydd wedi mynd trwy'r broses ymchwiliad safonau, lle mae'r gwaith paratoi wedi'i wneud, lle mae yna adroddiad wedi cael ei gyflwyno i'r Llywodraeth ac nid ydyn nhw'n gweithredu o dan safonau. Felly, rŷch chi'n sôn am gymdeithasau tai, rŷch chi'n sôn am gwmnïau dŵr a charffosiaeth, rŷch chi'n sôn am y Post Brenhinol, rŷch chi'n sôn am rai sefydliadau Llywodraeth San Steffan a oedd yn dod o dan y ddeddfwriaeth, rŷch chi'n sôn am fysys a threnau Cymru, a'r diwydiant nwy. So, felly, mae yna lot wedi'i gyflawni ac mae yna lot yn fwy i'w gyflawni. Mae hynny wedi digwydd o ran ochr statudol y safonau. Ochr yn ochr â hynny, mae'n rhaid imi gydnabod bod yna draweffaith wedi bod o ran y gwaith safonau ar sectorau hefyd. Rŷm ni'n clywed lot o sôn am hybu defnydd o fewn y sector busnes a'r trydydd sector, ac rydw i'n gallu gweld effaith meddylfryd safonau ar sefydliadau eraill. Hefyd, rydw i'n gallu gweld traweffaith ein gwaith ni gyda'r sefydliadau hynny, a gwaith Llywodraeth Cymru gyda'r sefydliadau hynny hefyd. Mae lot wedi'i gyflawni, yn arbennig pan rŷch chi'n edrych ar hynny o fewn cyfnod o chwe blynedd. Y realiti noeth yw, yn ystod y tair blynedd diwethaf, mae ein cyllideb ni wedi bod yn gyllideb fflat. Mae hynny i'w ddeall oherwydd bod yna doriadau ar draws y sector cyhoeddus - nid wyf yn disgwyl y buasem ni'n cael ein trin yn wahanol. Ond mae wedi bod yn sialens. Ar hyn o bryd, rŷm ni'n derbyn £3,051,000 oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cymru - hynny'r un fath â llynedd, hynny'r un fath â'r flwyddyn gynt. So, felly, mae'r twf a'r cynnydd sydd wedi bod wedi digwydd o fewn cyllideb gyfyngedig.
