English: I have sympathy with Sam's question. From my experience, when I became chair of the the north Wales ambition board, I didn't realise how much work that entailed, and how much time that entailed. And I'm not complaining about that, it's a role that I chose to take on, but I do understand that there is a big difference between the work of a leader - and, as Sam says, the leader of leaders - and of backbench members. To answer the question, if I were to put two backbench members in front of you today and ask the question, 'What is the CJC going to do and contribute to our work as a council?', they wouldn't know, I don't think. And the question I'm often asked by my members, and it's fair that they should ask it, is, 'What exactly do you do, and how will that improve the lives of my constituents in my ward?' And that's not always an easy question to answer. The point that Rob has made with regard to the relationship with the Government is a very important one, I think. That is a step change, to use that term, a significant step change. Before COVID there was never as much contact with the Government. There has never as much dialogue with Government Ministers, and that development is, of course, to be welcomed. We feel that we can express our views to Government directly is very valuable and sometimes we can influence Government decisions too. But I'm also aware that leaders are in different situations. I happen to be in quite a strong political position. Yes, I am challenged by members of my own group, perhaps more so than opposition party members, but I am in a strong position, and I think that there is a role for the deputy leader and cabinet members to bring all of the backbench members together and to explain their work and what's happening on a regional and national level. I do believe that there is an important role for leaders to be sharing messages with Governments - both Governments. It's a privilege, isn't it, to be here today representing north Wales. I'm very proud of being able to do that. It does cause tensions, but we can deal with them. Thank you, Sam.
Welsh: Mae gen i gydymdeimlad efo cwestiwn Sam. Hynny ydy, o'm mhrofiad i, pan ddes i'n gadeirydd uchelgais y gogledd, doeddwn i ddim yn sylweddoli cymaint o waith oedd hynny yn ei olygu, ac amser. A dwi ddim yn cwyno am y gwaith yna, mae hi'n rôl dwi wedi dewis i'w chymryd arnaf fy hun, ond dwi yn deall bod yna wahaniaeth mawr rhwng gwaith arweinydd - ac, fel mae Sam yn dweud, arweinydd ar arweinyddion - ac aelodau mainc gefn. I ateb y cwestiwn, petaswn i'n rhoi dau aelod mainc gefn o'ch blaen chi heddiw a gofyn y cwestiwn, 'Beth mae'r cyd-bwyllgor yn mynd i'w wneud a'i gyfrannu at ein gwaith ni fel cyngor?', fydden nhw ddim yn gwybod, dwi ddim yn credu. A'r cwestiwn cyson rydw i'n ei gael gan fy aelodau, ac yn deg iddyn nhw ei ofyn, ydy, 'Beth yn union ydych chi'n ei gyflawni, a sut mae hynny yn gwella bywydau fy etholwyr i yn fy ward i?' Rŵan, dydy hwnnw ddim yn gwestiwn hawdd i'w ateb yn aml iawn. Mae'r pwynt mae Rob wedi'i wneud ynglŷn â'r berthynas â'r Llywodraeth yn un pwysig iawn, dwi'n credu. Mae hynny yn step change, i ddefnyddio'r term, sylweddol. Cyn COVID fuodd yna erioed gymaint o gysylltiad gyda'r Llywodraeth. Fuodd yna erioed gymaint o ddeialog gyda Gweinidogion y Llywodraeth, ac mae hynny, wrth gwrs, i'w groesawu'n fawr. Mae rhywun yn teimlo ein bod ni'n gallu lleisio ein barn i Lywodraeth yn uniongyrchol ac weithiau rydym ni'n gallu dylanwadu ar benderfyniadau'r Llywodraeth. Hefyd, dwi'n ymwybodol bod arweinwyr mewn sefyllfaoedd gwahanol. Dwi'n digwydd bod mewn sefyllfa wleidyddol eithaf cadarn. Ydw, dwi'n cael fy herio gan aelodau fy ngrŵp fy hun, yn fwy o bosib nag ydw i gan aelodau wrthblaid, ond dwi mewn sefyllfa gadarn, a dwi'n credu bod yna rôl i'r dirprwy arweinydd a'r aelodau cabinet i ddal yr holl aelodau mainc gefn ynghyd ac i egluro eu gwaith iddyn nhw ac egluro beth sy'n digwydd ar lefel rhanbarthol ac ar lefel cenedlaethol. Dwi yn credu bod yna le pwysig iawn i arweinwyr fod yn cyfleu negeseuon i Lywodraethau - y ddwy Lywodraeth a dweud y gwir - ac yn cynrychioli. Mae'n fraint, onid yw, ac yn anrhydedd, i mi fod yma heddiw yn cynrychioli gogledd Cymru. Wel, dwi'n falch iawn o gael gwneud hynny. Mae o'n creu tensiynau, ond rydym ni'n gallu delio efo fo. Diolch, Sam.
