English: The next item on our agenda is the debate on renaming the National Assembly. Before I call upon the First Minister to move the motion and open the debate, I would like to make a brief statement. The Assembly has become a very different place to the one elected in 1999. It now passes laws and agrees taxes, as well as holding the Government to account and providing a focal point for democratic discussions on issues that are important to the people of Wales. It is therefore appropriate for us to give serious consideration to the renaming of the institution. The Wales Bill currently being considered in Westminster, and possibly as we speak, gives the Assembly the power to change its name. In order to achieve this, a Bill must be submitted in accordance with the arrangements of our legislative process, and two thirds of our Members will be required to support this legislation. Therefore, securing cross-party support for any such proposal is vital. If the motion is agreed today, the next steps will be to consult soon on what the name should be. There are several possibilities, and many associated terms stemming from that choice. We must also consider how soon the change should be made, and consider how we communicate the change clearly and how it should be symbolised. The name should continue to inspire confidence and pride among the people of Wales. I will discuss these matters further with my fellow Commissioners at the earliest opportunity, and I will notify the Assembly of the next steps at the outset of the autumn term. For today, I look forward to hearing Members' initial comments on the renaming of our National Assembly. To propose the motion, I call on the First Minister, Carwyn Jones.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf ar yr agenda yw'r ddadl ar ailenwi y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. Cyn i mi alw ar y Prif Weinidog i wneud y cynnig ac agor y ddadl, hoffwn wneud datganiad byr. Mae'r Cynulliad bellach yn lle tra gwahanol i'r un a etholwyd yn 1999. Mae nawr yn pasio Deddfau a'n cytuno trethi, yn ogystal â dwyn y Llywodraeth i gyfrif a rhoi canolbwynt i drafodaethau democrataidd ar faterion o bwys i bobl Cymru. Mae'n briodol felly i ni ystyried o ddifrif ailenwi'r sefydliad. Mae Mesur Cymru sy'n cael ei ystyried yn San Steffan ar hyn o bryd - o bosib wrth ein bod ni'n siarad - yn darparu'r pwerau i'r Cynulliad newid ei enw. Er mwyn cyflawni hyn, bydd rhaid cyflwyno'r ddeddfwriaeth yma, yn unol â threfniadau ein proses deddfwriaethol a bydd angen i ddwy ran o dair o'n haelodaeth gefnogi'r ddeddfwriaeth yma. Mae sicrhau cefnogaeth drawsbleidiol ar gyfer unrhyw gynnig felly yn allweddol. Os cymeradwyir y cynnig heddiw felly, y camau nesaf fydd i ymgynghori yn fuan ar yr hyn dylai'r enw fod. Mae yna sawl enw posib a sawl term cysylltiol sy'n deillio o'r dewis. Rhaid ystyried pa mor fuan dylid gwneud y newid ac ystyried sut rydym yn cyfathrebu'r newid yn glir a symboli hyn. Dylai'r enw barhau i ysgogi hyder a balchder ymysg bobl Cymru. Byddaf yn trafod y materion yma ymhellach gyda fy nghyd-Gomisiynwyr ar y cyfle cyntaf ac yn hysbysu'r Cynulliad o'r camau nesaf ar gychwyn tymor yr hydref. Ond, am heddiw, edrychaf ymlaen at glywed sylwadau cychwynnol yr Aelodau ar ailenwi ein Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. I gyflwyno'r cynnig, rwy'n galw ar y Prif Weinidog, Carwyn Jones.
