English: It's impossible, of course, except for reasons of perversity, to oppose this motion, because it's just a 'take note' motion, but I want to make it clear that I, and my party, also support the intention behind the motion. I haven't always taken that view, because, following what Steffan Lewis said in his compelling opening speech today, I had perhaps thought originally that the purpose behind this was somehow to delay or get in the way of the Brexit process. I've now come to believe that that is not the intention behind it, and it's regrettable that the United Kingdom Government has made the Brexit process less palatable to people who were against the decision that the public made in the referendum campaign, and would like to have avoided that, but I do believe that most people who are in that position do not now want to reverse the process. I do think it's unfortunate that the United Kingdom Government, therefore, has made it more difficult to pass the EU withdrawal Bill than it need have been. I have to say that it's par for the course, in a way, because, as Simon Thomas pointed out yesterday, it's rather extraordinary that the Secretary of State for Wales, on a transparently bogus excuse, refuses to meet the Finance Committee of this Assembly. The devolution settlement is one that I didn't want in the first instance, and that was a referendum - two referenda - where I was on the other side from those who won, but I unreservedly accept the decision of the Welsh people, and it's actually been a great pleasure to me to be here to help make that work. I've become a lot more enthusiastic about it, as a result, as well, and I see the advantages of further devolution because I see the EU withdrawal as the ultimate devolution Bill, in a sense, for bringing power back to the people. I believe in devolution of taxation, because that makes the Welsh Government more responsible, and I believe in competition between the nations of the United Kingdom in public policy terms. So, there are great advantages in this, and I want us to see the EU withdrawal accepted by as many people as possible, and indeed embraced with enthusiasm. So, I think that the policy of the United Kingdom Government's actually quite contrary to the best interests of those of us who want to see Brexit achieved as quickly and as completely as possible. So, I am delighted to support this motion today, and to congratulate Steffan Lewis on the way that he introduced the debate, in what I thought was a splendidly succinct speech, which was also complete as well as compelling.
Welsh: Mae'n amhosibl gwrthwynebu'r cynnig hwn, wrth gwrs, ac eithrio am resymau gwrthnysig, gan mai cynnig 'dalier sylw' yn unig ydyw, ond rwy'n awyddus i ddweud yn glir fy mod i, a fy mhlaid, yn cefnogi'r bwriad sydd wrth wraidd y cynnig hefyd. Nid wyf bob amser wedi arddel y farn honno, oherwydd, yn dilyn yr hyn a ddywedodd Steffan Lewis yn ei araith agoriadol rymus heddiw, roeddwn wedi meddwl yn wreiddiol efallai mai diben hyn, rywsut, oedd gohirio neu rwystro proses Brexit. Bellach, rwyf o'r farn nad dyna yw'r bwriad sy'n sail iddo, ac mae'n drueni fod Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig wedi gwneud proses Brexit yn llai derbyniol i bobl a oedd yn erbyn y penderfyniad a wnaed gan y cyhoedd yn ymgyrch y refferendwm, a hoffwn pe baem wedi gallu osgoi hynny, ond credaf nad yw'r rhan fwyaf o'r bobl sy'n arddel y farn honno am ddadwneud y broses bellach. Credaf ei bod yn anffodus, felly, fod Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig wedi ei gwneud hi'n anoddach nag oedd angen iddi fod i basio'r Bil ymadael â'r UE. Mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud bod hyn i'w ddisgwyl, mewn ffordd, oherwydd, fel y dywedodd Simon Thomas ddoe, mae'n eithaf rhyfeddol fod Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru, gydag esgus sy'n amlwg yn un ffug, yn gwrthod cyfarfod â Phwyllgor Cyllid y Cynulliad hwn. Roedd y setliad datganoli yn un nad oeddwn yn dymuno'i gael yn y lle cyntaf, ac roedd yn refferendwm - dau refferendwm - lle roeddwn ar yr ochr arall i'r rhai a enillodd, ond rwy'n derbyn penderfyniad y Cymry'n ddiamod, ac mewn gwirionedd, mae wedi bod yn bleser mawr bod yma yn helpu i sicrhau bod hynny'n gweithio. Rwyf wedi dod yn llawer mwy brwdfrydig am y peth o ganlyniad hefyd, ac rwy'n gweld manteision datganoli pellach gan fy mod yn credu mai'r Bil ymadael â'r UE yw'r Bil datganoli eithaf, ar un ystyr, ar gyfer adfer grym i'r bobl. Rwy'n credu mewn datganoli trethi, gan fod hynny'n gwneud Llywodraeth Cymru yn fwy cyfrifol, ac rwy'n credu mewn cystadleuaeth rhwng gwledydd y Deyrnas Unedig yn nhermau polisi cyhoeddus. Felly, mae cryn fanteision yn hyn, a hoffwn inni weld y broses o ymadael â'r UE yn cael ei derbyn gan gynifer o bobl â phosibl, ac yn wir, yn cael ei chroesawu gyda brwdfrydedd. Felly, credaf fod polisi Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig, mewn gwirionedd, yn mynd yn groes i les gorau'r rhai ohonom sy'n awyddus i weld Brexit yn cael ei gyflawni mor gyflym ac mor gyflawn â phosibl. Felly, rwy'n falch iawn o gefnogi'r cynnig hwn heddiw, a llongyfarch Steffan Lewis am y ffordd y cyflwynodd y ddadl, mewn araith a oedd yn hyfryd o gryno, yn fy marn i, a hefyd yn gyflawn ac yn rymus.
