English: I have to say - and I might be naive here - but I do believe that, within Welsh Government, we do have people who have a vision and a commitment to change the system in order to ensure that it's transformational. I'm not as convinced that that is the case among officials. I have to say that the failure of officials to respond to things, such as the report on second language Welsh by experts in 2013, is very concerning indeed. So, one thing that needs to be ensured is that if a body such as the Welsh Language Commissioner, or some other body, puts forward a report to Welsh Government, they need to take those recommendations seriously and respond to them within a specific period of time. How can it be that, in 2013, we had that report on second language Welsh, and it noted quite clearly that it was crucial to take action within three to five years, to totally transform the Welsh-as-a-second-language system, and that simply hasn't happened? How is it that, today, we hear Qualifications Wales saying that the gap between second language and first language Welsh is too wide to have both assessments overlapping? However, in 2013, the report conducted on second language Welsh argued strongly that both assessments should overlap and that there should be a dual award. I will refer you to paragraph 4.38 in the report on second language Welsh from 2013. Has the situation declined or are those reports and recommendations getting to you in Welsh Government and you are allowing officials just to hide or bury them? Why aren't you taking action on the recommendations made by experts who spent extensive time looking at these issues and providing ways forward for you? That's the one thing that you, as Welsh Government, could ask of yourselves. Do you have the vision? I think so. Do you have the people who are committed to ensuring that the Welsh language develops? Yes. Why isn't it happening and why hasn't it happened?
Welsh: Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud, dwi'n teimlo - efallai fy mod i'n naïf fan hyn - oddi mewn i Lywodraeth Cymru, fod gyda ni bobl sydd â gweledigaeth ac ymrwymiad i newid y drefn, i sicrhau ei bod hi'n drawsnewidiol. Dwi ddim mor sicr bod hyn yn bodoli ymysg swyddogion. Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud bod methiant swyddogion i ymateb i awdurdodau, gan gyrff, fel yr adroddiad a wnaed ar y Gymraeg gan arbenigwyr ail iaith yn 2013, yn sefyllfa bryderus iawn. Felly, un peth y mae angen ei sicrhau yw os oes corff, fel y comisiynydd, neu ryw awdurdod arall, yn rhoi adroddiad gerbron Llywodraeth Cymru, mae angen iddyn nhw gymryd yr argymhellion yna o ddifrif ac ymateb i'r argymhellion yna o fewn cyfnod penodol o amser. Sut yw hi, yn 2013, bod yr adroddiad ail iaith yna wedi nodi'n gwbl glir ei bod hi'n allweddol i weithredu o fewn tair i bum mlynedd i newid yn llwyr y drefn sydd i Gymraeg ail iaith ond bod hwnna ddim wedi digwydd o hyd? Sut yw hi, heddiw, ein bod ni'n clywed Cymwysterau Cymru yn dweud bod y bwlch rhwng ail iaith a iaith gyntaf yn rhy fawr i gael y ddau asesiad yn gorgyffwrdd? Ac eto, yn 2013, roedd yr adroddiad a wnaed ar ail iaith yn dadlau'n gryf y dylid cael y ddau asesiad, arholiad, yn gorgyffwrdd a bod yna ddyfarniad deuol. Gwnaf i eich cyfeirio chi at baragraff 4.38 yn adroddiad ail iaith 2013. Ydy sefyllfa dysgu ail iaith wedi dirywio, neu ydy'r argymhellion a'r adroddiadau yn eich cyrraedd chi yn Llywodraeth Cymru ac rydych chi'n gadael i swyddogion eu cuddio nhw neu eu claddu nhw? Pam nad ydych chi'n gweithredu ar yr argymhellion gan arbenigwyr sydd wedi gwario amser helaeth yn edrych i mewn i'r mater ac yn cynnig ichi ffyrdd ymlaen? Dyna un peth, dwi'n credu, y gallwch chi, fel Llywodraeth Cymru, ofyn ohonoch chi eich hunan. A oes gyda chi'r weledigaeth? Dwi'n credu bod e. A oes gennych chi'r bobl sy'n ymrwymedig i sicrhau bod y Gymraeg yn symud ymlaen? Oes. Pam nad yw e'n digwydd a pham nad ydy o wedi digwydd?
