English: We'll be discussing this further this afternoon, I know, but let's decouple the city deal with the broader agenda of digitisation. The two are not the same thing. One is a means towards an end, and let's focus on the broader end. 5G, of course, at the moment is not something that's being developed at any scale. We've commissioned Innovation Point to give advice to the Welsh Governmenment on how we can capitalise upon it. There are far more mundane things that we can do to make these technologies work. For example, the internet-of-things can be powered by a LoRaWAN network, which is a low-frequency network that is much more commonplace and day-to-day than 5G. So, there are things that we can do now using far less high-tech gadgets than 5G that can really make a difference. So, let's focus on what can be done while we figure out where this goes next, because it's a fast-moving environment.
Welsh: Byddwn yn trafod hyn ymhellach y prynhawn yma, rwy'n gwybod, ond gadewch inni ddatgysylltu'r fargen ddinesig oddi wrth yr agenda ddigideiddio ehangach. Nid yw'r ddau yr un peth. Mae un yn ffordd tuag at nod, a gadewch i ni ganolbwyntio ar y pen ehangach. Ar hyn o bryd, wrth gwrs, nid yw 5G yn rhywbeth sy'n cael ei ddatblygu ar raddfa fawr. Rydym wedi comisiynu Innovation Point i roi cyngor i Lywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn â sut y gallwn fanteisio arno. Ceir pethau llawer llai dyrchafedig y gallwn eu gwneud i wneud i'r technolegau weithio. Er enghraifft, gellir pweru rhyngrwyd pethau drwy rwydwaith LoRaWAN, sef rhwydwaith amledd isel sy'n llawer mwy cyffredin a dydd i ddydd na 5G. Felly, mae yna bethau y gallwn eu gwneud yn awr gan ddefnyddio teclynnau llawer llai uwch-dechnoleg na 5G a gallant wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol. Felly, gadewch inni ganolbwyntio ar yr hyn y gellir ei wneud tra ydym yn darganfod i ble mae hyn yn mynd nesaf, oherwydd mae'n amgylchedd sy'n newid yn gyflym.
English: Yes, of course. The environment has been a critical consideration in the development of the economic action plan. Key objectives of the plan include the drive towards sustainable growth, the need to combat climate change and the promotion of a transition to a cleaner, low-carbon economy. Achieving this will be vital in meeting our obligations under the Environment (Wales) Act 2016.
Welsh: Wrth gwrs. Mae'r amgylchedd wedi bod yn ystyriaeth allweddol wrth ddatblygu cynllun gweithredu economaidd. Mae amcanion allweddol y cynllun yn cynnwys yr ymgyrch tuag at dwf cynaliadwy, yr angen i wrthsefyll newid hinsawdd a hyrwyddo newid i economi carbon isel, glanach. Bydd cyflawni hyn yn hanfodol er mwyn cyflawni ein rhwymedigaethau o dan Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd (Cymru) 2016.
English: Just over a fortnight ago, I was invited to speak at the Cardiff Extinction Rebellion event outside Cardiff library. They, as well as the school strikers, are campaigning for the declaration of a climate emergency, among other things, to ensure that all current and future policies are consistent with averting climate change and ecological collapse. I support the campaign aims - climate change is the most severe crisis that we face in the world today. Minister, economic policy has a big part to play in ensuring that the environment is protected, and this Government's failure to meet carbon emission targets has been described as disappointing by your own side. Energy is a vital part of our economy and fast decarbonisation is essential. Now, there have been various proposals throughout the world for green new deals. Do you accept that your economic plans should have been a green new deal?
Welsh: Ychydig dros bythefnos yn ôl, cefais fy ngwahodd i siarad yn nigwyddiad Extinction Rebellion Caerdydd y tu allan i lyfrgell Caerdydd. Maent hwy, yn ogystal â'r streicwyr ysgol, yn ymgyrchu dros ddatgan ei bod hi'n argyfwng ar yr hinsawdd, ymhlith pethau eraill, i sicrhau bod yr holl bolisïau cyfredol ac yn y dyfodol yn gyson ag atal newid hinsawdd a dirywiad ecolegol. Rwy'n cefnogi amcanion yr ymgyrch - newid hinsawdd yw'r argyfwng mwyaf difrifol sy'n ein hwynebu yn y byd heddiw. Weinidog, mae gan bolisi economaidd ran fawr i'w chwarae yn sicrhau bod yr amgylchedd yn cael ei ddiogelu, ac mae eich ochr eich hun wedi dweud bod methiant y Llywodraeth hon i gyflawni targedau allyriadau yn siomedig. Mae ynni'n rhan hanfodol o'n heconomi ac mae datgarboneiddio cyflym yn hanfodol. Nawr, cafwyd cynigion amrywiol ledled y byd ar gyfer bargeinion newydd gwyrdd. A ydych yn derbyn y dylai eich cynlluniau economaidd fod wedi bod yn fargen newydd werdd?
English: Well, the green new deal as a project title has gained, I think, a lot of traction not just in the UK, but around the world. But, here in Wales, we're already delivering against ambitious plans for sustainable growth, and the economic action plan is very much a new green deal. We are delivering, and I think it's worth the Member recognising some of the detail that's contained within the economic action plan, including our commitment to zero-emissions buses. That demonstrates how we're delivering, including our commitment to 100 per cent renewable energy for the metro service - again, demonstrating our commitment. I think it's also important to recognise how our investments in business across Wales are contributing to decarbonisation, including, within the economic action plan, the new calls to action, of which, one of just five concerns decarbonisation. Now, I would hope that the Member has expressed her views and ideas on how we combat climate change, drawing on the consultation on the draft climate change adaptation plan, which went out to consultation in December. If the Member hasn't already expressed her views on that, I'm sure there still is an opportunity, albeit after the closing date, to do so. But I am also very pleased, Llywydd, to say that, tomorrow, the First Minister will be launching 'A Low Carbon Wales', our first statutory decarbonisation plan.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n credu bod y fargen newydd werdd fel teitl prosiect wedi ennyn diddordeb nid yn unig yn y DU, ond ledled y byd. Ond yma yng Nghymru, rydym eisoes yn cyflawni yn erbyn cynlluniau uchelgeisiol ar gyfer twf cynaliadwy, ac mae'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd yn bendant yn fargen newydd werdd. Rydym yn cyflawni, a chredaf ei bod yn werth i'r Aelod gydnabod rhywfaint o'r manylion a geir yn y cynllun gweithredu economaidd, gan gynnwys ein hymrwymiad i fysiau allyriadau sero. Mae hynny'n dangos sut rydym yn cyflawni, gan gynnwys ein hymrwymiad i ynni adnewyddadwy 100 y cant ar gyfer y gwasanaeth metro - gan ddangos ein hymrwymiad unwaith eto. Credaf hefyd ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod sut y mae ein buddsoddiadau mewn busnesau ledled Cymru yn cyfrannu at ddatgarboneiddio, gan gynnwys galwadau newydd i weithredu o fewn y cynllun gweithredu economaidd, ac mae un o ddim ond pump ohonynt yn ymwneud â datgarboneiddio. Nawr, buaswn yn gobeithio bod yr Aelod wedi mynegi ei safbwyntiau a'i syniadau ynglŷn â sut yr awn i'r afael â newid hinsawdd, gan fanteisio ar yr ymgynghoriad ar y cynllun drafft addasu i newid hinsawdd, a gyhoeddwyd ar gyfer ymgynghori ym mis Rhagfyr. Os nad yw'r Aelod eisoes wedi mynegi ei barn ar hynny, rwy'n siŵr fod yna gyfle o hyd i wneud hynny, er bod y dyddiad cau wedi mynd heibio. Ond rwyf hefyd yn falch iawn o ddweud, Lywydd, y bydd y Prif Weinidog yn lansio 'Cymru Carbon Isel' yfory, sef ein cynllun datgarboneiddio statudol cyntaf.
English: In my region, Cabinet Secretary - or Minister now, as you're called - the Welsh Government is supporting the development plans for a new road from junction 34 to Sycamore Cross in the Vale of Glamorgan. Many residents within that area support road improvements in the existing infrastructure but for the life of them cannot understand why you are proposing to drive viaducts and new roadways across some of the most nature-sensitive areas in the Vale of Glamorgan. Can you join up the dots for me so I can go back to my constituents and understand how, when you take the environmental considerations into place, the Welsh Government is putting resources into a project that potentially would have a devastating impact on the environmental benefits of that particular area?
Welsh: Yn fy rhanbarth i, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet - neu Weinidog fel y'ch gelwir yn awr - mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n cefnogi'r cynlluniau datblygu ar gyfer ffordd newydd o gyffordd 34 i Sycamore Cross ym Mro Morgannwg. Mae llawer o drigolion yn yr ardal honno'n cefnogi gwelliannau ffyrdd yn y seilwaith presennol, ond ni allant ddeall o gwbl pam eich bod yn argymell adeiladu traphontydd a ffyrdd newydd ar draws rhai o'r ardaloedd mwyaf sensitif i fyd natur ym Mro Morgannwg. A allwch egluro wrthyf fel y gallaf fynd yn ôl at fy etholwyr a deall, pan fyddwch yn ystyried yr amgylchedd, sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi adnoddau tuag at brosiect a fyddai'n cael effaith ddinistriol ar y manteision amgylcheddol yn yr ardal benodol honno?
English: Well, can I assure the Member who also supports the M4 relief road, a vital programme the Government is currently considering - that the First Minister is currently considering - ? And I should just say that all roads must be assessed. All builds, Llywydd, must be assessed against the latest Welsh transport appraisal guidance process, a process that is supported by the well-being of future generations commissioner, and, of course, programmes such as the one that the Member has identified are open to consultation with the public and I very much hope that members of the public in my colleague's area will submit their views when the consultation takes place.
Welsh: Wel, a gaf fi sicrhau'r Aelod sydd hefyd yn cefnogi ffordd liniaru'r M4, un rhaglen hanfodol y mae'r Llywodraeth yn ei hystyried ar hyn o bryd - y mae'r Prif Weinidog yn ei hystyried ar hyn o bryd - ? A dylwn ddweud bod yn rhaid asesu pob ffordd. Rhaid i bob ffordd a adeiladir, Lywydd, gael ei hasesu yn erbyn proses ddiweddaraf yr arweiniad ar arfarnu trafnidiaeth Cymru, proses a gefnogir gan y comisiynydd llesiant cenedlaethau'r dyfodol, ac wrth gwrs, mae rhaglenni fel yr un a nodwyd gan yr Aelod yn agored i ymgynghoriad â'r cyhoedd ac rwy'n mawr obeithio y bydd aelodau o'r cyhoedd yn ardal fy nghyd-Aelod yn cyflwyno'u safbwyntiau pan fydd yr ymgynghoriad yn digwydd.
English: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Now, Trade and Investment Wales recently hailed the 30 per cent lower salary costs in Wales compared with other parts of the UK. Government has since taken down references to lower wages on social media, and so on, and I can fully understand why you'd want to distance yourself from your own mistake, but can I ask what is the mistake that was made here? Was it just that you said this? Because it does appear that at the heart of Government thinking still is a belief that offering low wages is a good thing.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. Nawr, yn ddiweddar rhoddodd Masnach a Buddsoddi Cymru sylw i'r costau cyflog a oedd 30 y cant yn is yng Nghymru o gymharu â rhannau eraill o'r DU. Ers hynny mae'r Llywodraeth wedi tynnu cyfeiriadau at gyflogau is oddi ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol ac ati, a gallaf ddeall yn iawn pam y byddech am ymbellhau oddi wrth eich camgymeriad eich hun, ond a gaf fi ofyn beth yw'r camgymeriad a wnaed yma? Ai dim ond eich bod wedi dweud hyn? Oherwydd mae'n ymddangos bod cred fod cynnig cyflogau isel yn beth da yn dal i fod wrth wraidd meddylfryd y Llywodraeth.
English: Absolutely not. If I could just remind the Member that I've not been responsible for Trade and Investment Wales since the reshuffle in December, but I can say to the Member that no Ministers approved that tweet. It was unacceptable. It does not represent Ministers' thinking. Indeed, the economic action plan has been designed to drive salary growth and the quality of jobs across Wales, and that's precisely what we're striving to do.
Welsh: Dim o gwbl. Os caf atgoffa'r Aelod na fûm yn gyfrifol am Masnach a Buddsoddi Cymru ers yr ad-drefnu ym mis Rhagfyr, ond gallaf ddweud wrth yr Aelod nad oedd unrhyw Weinidog yn cymeradwyo'r trydariad hwnnw. Roedd yn annerbyniol. Nid yw'n cynrychioli meddylfryd y Gweinidogion. Yn wir, lluniwyd y cynllun gweithredu economaidd i hybu twf cyflogau ac ansawdd swyddi ledled Cymru, a dyna'n union y ceisiwn ei wneud.
English: Sadly, of course, the cat was let out of the bag and it was an insult to Welsh workers, of course, to suggest that low wages in Wales was something to be celebrated. The truth, of course, is that wages in Wales have been remaining at too low a level for far too long. I do not believe that reflects well on 20 years of Labour-led Governments. But one tool, certainly, for raising wages in Wales is the push for wider roll-out of the living wage. The public sector is engaging positively. I think councils, led by both my party and yours, have taken positive steps on the roll-out of the living wage, but a strong Welsh economy needs a strong private sector, and the private sector would benefit certainly from having more workers on the living wage. But isn't the truth of the matter that, in the private sector in Wales, we are lagging way behind other parts of the UK when it comes to the implementation of the living wage?
Welsh: Yn anffodus, wrth gwrs, gollyngwyd y gath o'r cwd ac roedd awgrymu bod cyflogau isel yng Nghymru yn rhywbeth i'w ddathlu yn sarhad ar weithwyr Cymru, wrth gwrs. Y gwir amdani yw bod cyflogau yng Nghymru wedi aros ar lefel rhy isel ers yn llawer rhy hir. Nid wyf yn credu bod hynny'n adlewyrchu'n dda ar 20 mlynedd o Lywodraeth dan arweiniad Llafur. Ond un offeryn, yn sicr, ar gyfer codi cyflogau yng Nghymru yw'r ymgyrch i gyflwyno'r cyflog byw yn ehangach. Mae'r sector cyhoeddus yn ymgysylltu mewn modd cadarnhaol. Credaf fod cynghorau, a arweinir gan fy mhlaid i a'ch un chi, wedi rhoi camau cadarnhaol ar waith ar gyflwyno'r cyflog byw, ond mae economi gref yng Nghymru yn galw am sector preifat cryf, a gallai'r sector preifat elwa yn sicr o gael mwy o weithwyr ar y cyflog byw. Onid y gwir amdani, yn y sector preifat yng Nghymru, yw ein bod yn llusgo ymhell ar ôl rhannau eraill o'r DU o ran gweithredu'r cyflog byw?
English: I should say, I don't think the Member and I have a difference of view on wage rates: they need to improve, there is no doubt about that. The way that we're going to go about doing it is by rolling out more widely the economic contract as a principle and in practice as a means of driving up the quality of work and remuneration. Now, the Member identified some vehicles elsewhere that drive the uptake of the living wage. Here in Wales, we've got Business Wales with more than 200,000 businesses within their reach - that's a service that I have personally utilised recently. I've written to all businesses on two occasions regarding Brexit, contacting 200,000, but Business Wales are now acting as the agency for Welsh Government to encourage as many in the private sector as possible to adopt the living wage. But I do believe, rather than just encouragement, you have to offer something. You have to offer something, and that something is Government funding, and applying the principle of something for something is by far the most effective way of changing behaviours and improving wage rates. And that's what we're seeing in Wales, and that's why household income is up in Wales. But I would accept that more still needs to be done. We started from a terrible base back in the mid-to-late 1990s. We've made huge progress, but through the economic action plan and the economic contract, we will go further still.
Welsh: Dylwn ddweud nad wyf yn meddwl fod gwahaniaeth barn rhwng yr Aelod a minnau ar gyfraddau cyflog: mae angen iddynt wella, nid oes unrhyw amheuaeth am hynny. Y ffordd yr awn ati i wneud hynny yw trwy gyflwyno'r contract economaidd yn fwy eang fel egwyddor ac yn ymarferol fel modd o wella ansawdd y gwaith a'r cyflog. Nawr, nododd yr Aelod rai cyfryngau mewn mannau eraill sy'n cynyddu'r nifer sy'n derbyn y cyflog byw. Yma yng Nghymru, mae gennym Busnes Cymru gyda mwy na 200,000 o fusnesau o fewn eu cyrraedd - dyna wasanaeth rwyf wedi'i ddefnyddio'n bersonol yn ddiweddar. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at bob busnes ar ddau achlysur ynglŷn â Brexit, wedi cysylltu â 200,000, ond mae Busnes Cymru bellach yn gweithredu fel yr asiantaeth ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru i annog cymaint â phosibl yn y sector preifat i fabwysiadu'r cyflog byw. Ond yn hytrach nag anogaeth yn unig, rwy'n credu bod rhaid ichi gynnig rhywbeth. Rhaid i chi gynnig rhywbeth, a'r rhywbeth hwnnw yw cyllid y Llywodraeth, a chymhwyso'r egwyddor o rywbeth am rywbeth yw'r modd mwyaf effeithiol o bell ffordd o newid ymddygiad a gwella cyfraddau cyflog. A dyna a welwn yng Nghymru, a dyna pam y mae incwm aelwydydd ar gynnydd yng Nghymru. Ond buaswn yn derbyn bod angen gwneud mwy o hyd. Dechreuasom o linell sylfaen ofnadwy ganol i ddiwedd y 1990au. Rydym wedi gwneud cynnydd aruthrol, ond drwy'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd a'r contract economaidd, byddwn yn mynd ymhellach eto.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Last month, Actica Consulting was commissioned jointly by the UK and the Welsh Governments to undertake a rapid independent-led review of arrangements for the delivery of the £1.3 billion Swansea bay city deal. I'm turning my head now to the Deputy Minister as I can see that's the way the discussion's going. The report made seven recommendations to improve the deliverability of the deal's outcomes, and I wonder, Deputy Minister, if you could provide a summary of your assessment of the report's findings and recommendations.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Y mis diwethaf, comisiynwyd Actica Consulting gan Lywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth Cymru ar y cyd i gynnal adolygiad cyflym dan arweiniad annibynnol o drefniadau ar gyfer darparu bargen ddinesig bae Abertawe, gwerth £1.3 biliwn. Rwy'n troi fy mhen yn awr at y Dirprwy Weinidog gan y gallaf weld mai dyna'r ffordd y mae'r drafodaeth yn mynd. Gwnaeth yr adroddiad saith argymhelliad i wella'r gallu i gyflawni canlyniadau'r fargen, a tybed, Ddirprwy Weinidog, a allech ddarparu crynodeb o'ch asesiad o ganfyddiadau ac argymhellion yr adroddiad.
English: Gosh, what an opportunity. There is further opportunity later with the urgent question on this very same subject to address those topics, so perhaps I'll give you a brief summary and we can explore it a little further. This is a jointly commissioned report by the UK and the Welsh Government, and Alun Cairns and I see eye to eye on this matter, at least. There is criticism of all the actors in these two reports, and I think rather than dwelling on that, we need to reset and focus on where we take this from here. But there's a range of very helpful detailed recommendations for all sides about how we can recalibrate this relationship to deliver what we all want it to deliver.
Welsh: Wel, am gyfle. Ceir cyfle pellach yn ddiweddarach gyda'r cwestiwn brys ar yr union bwnc hwn i fynd i'r afael â'r pethau hynny, felly efallai y caf roi crynodeb byr i chi a gallwn ei archwilio ychydig ymhellach. Dyma adroddiad a gomisiynwyd ar y cyd gan Lywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth Cymru, ac mae Alun Cairns a minnau'n cytuno ar y mater hwn, o leiaf. Ceir beirniadaeth o'r holl chwaraewyr yn y ddau adroddiad, ac yn hytrach nag oedi gyda hynny, credaf fod angen inni ailfeddwl a chanolbwyntio ar ble i fynd â hyn o'r fan hon. Ond mae yna amrywiaeth o argymhellion manwl defnyddiol iawn i bob ochr ynglŷn â sut y gallwn ail-raddnodi'r berthynas hon i gyflawni'r hyn yr hoffem iddi ei gyflawni.
English: Thank you for your answer, Deputy Minister, and I don't disagree with anything you said. I do want to try and draw out what your initial assessments were of those recommendations and perhaps if you could address that. I did note from reading the report myself that the key recommendations outline the need for action over the next four months. Now, these actions are for the city deal to deliver, but I wonder how you and the Welsh Government are going to support the city deal in delivering on those recommendations.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich ateb, Ddirprwy Weinidog, ac nid wyf yn anghytuno â dim a ddywedasoch. Rwyf am geisio nodi beth oedd eich asesiadau cychwynnol o'r argymhellion hynny ac efallai y gallech ymdrin â hynny. O ddarllen yr adroddiad fy hun, nodais fod yr argymhellion allweddol yn amlinellu'r angen am weithredu dros y pedwar mis nesaf. Nawr, camau i'r fargen ddinesig eu cyflawni yw'r rhain, ond tybed sut rydych chi a Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i gynorthwyo'r fargen ddinesig i gyflawni'r argymhellion hynny.
English: Certainly, Alun Cairns and I have already met with the leaders of the local authorities on Friday. I had a further meeting on Monday with the Welsh MPs and a meeting this morning with Welsh Assembly Members to let them know what we intend to do next. Our first priority is to get some momentum back into this project, so we're working closely with the city deal to try and get two of the projects over the line as soon as possible, namely the second phase of Yr Egin in Carmarthen and the waterfront digital district in Swansea. To do that, the onus lies primarily on the city region; they're the ones who have to develop the business case and get it approved by ourselves and by the UK Government. We are committed to working closely with them as partners, not simply as policemen, which is the way the deal has been set up, to try and collaborate and make sure that we get the assurance needed to release the funding for both these projects.
Welsh: Yn sicr, cyfarfu Alun Cairns a minnau ag arweinwyr yr awdurdodau lleol eisoes ddydd Gwener. Cefais gyfarfod pellach ddydd Llun gyda'r ASau Cymreig a chyfarfod y bore yma ag Aelodau Cynulliad Cymru i roi gwybod iddynt beth y bwriadwn ei wneud nesaf. Ein blaenoriaeth gyntaf yw adfer peth momentwm i'r prosiect hwn, felly rydym yn gweithio'n agos gyda'r fargen ddinesig i geisio cael dau o'r prosiectau dros y llinell cyn gynted â phosibl, sef ail gam Yr Egin yng Nghaerfyrddin ac ardal ddigidol y glannau yn Abertawe. I wneud hynny, mae'r cyfrifoldeb yn gorwedd yn bennaf ar y dinas-ranbarth; hwy fydd yn gorfod datblygu'r achos busnes a'i gael wedi'i gymeradwyo gennym ni a Llywodraeth y DU. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i weithio'n agos gyda hwy fel partneriaid, nid yn unig fel plismyn, sef y ffordd y sefydlwyd y fargen, i geisio cydweithio a gwneud yn siŵr ein bod yn cael y sicrwydd sydd ei angen i ryddhau'r arian ar gyfer y prosiectau hyn.
