English: Can I thank the members of the Finance Committee for allowing me to intrude on this debate on behalf of the Welsh Conservatives? I have read with great interest the report that you have produced, and I can see that it's a very thorough piece of work, so I want to commend you all and, indeed, the clerks who have supported you through the process. Having read the report, very clearly, there are some key recommendations in there that the Welsh Government has responded very positively to, and I'm pleased to see that. It is clear, I think, that the Welsh Government needs to plan its infrastructure investment in a more long-term way in the future in order that we can get some more consistency and a coherent approach to economic development, rather than what I think the report has identified as a sort of piecemeal approach in the past in terms of the way that capital has sometimes been invested. And, of course, we're nearing the end of the 10-year Wales infrastructure investment plan, and I know that Ministers are working on the next 10-year plan, and I think that this report usefully makes some very decent recommendations as to how that plan might be developed in the future. Of course, we know that the Government has identified a number of different priorities, we've got the climate change emergency as well, which has been declared, and we also know that there is a certain level of uncertainty, I'll acknowledge that, in terms of the way that the UK Government's shared prosperity fund might work. Now, one of the things that was a key project from the Wales infrastructure investment plan, of course, was the M4 relief road. It was dropped because of the climate change emergency, we are told, but we don't see any proposals at the moment coming forward for green infrastructure in terms of -
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i aelodau'r Pwyllgor Cyllid am ganiatáu i mi gymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon ar ran y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig? Darllenais yr adroddiad a gynhyrchwyd gennych gyda diddordeb mawr, a gallaf weld ei fod yn waith trylwyr iawn, felly rwyf am eich canmol i gyd ac yn wir, y clercod sydd wedi eich cefnogi trwy'r broses. Ar ôl darllen yr adroddiad, mae'n amlwg iawn fod yna rai argymhellion allweddol ynddo y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymateb yn gadarnhaol iawn iddynt, ac rwy'n falch o weld hynny. Mae'n amlwg, rwy'n credu, fod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru gynllunio ei buddsoddiad mewn seilwaith mewn ffordd fwy hirdymor yn y dyfodol er mwyn inni gael mwy o gysondeb a datblygu economaidd sy'n gydlynol, yn hytrach na'r hyn rwy'n credu y mae'r adroddiad wedi'i nodi fel dull tameidiog yn y gorffennol o ran y ffordd y cafodd cyfalaf ei fuddsoddi ar rai achlysuron. Ac wrth gwrs, rydym yn agosáu at ddiwedd cynllun buddsoddi mewn seilwaith Cymru, sy'n gynllun 10 mlynedd, a gwn fod Gweinidogion yn gweithio ar y cynllun 10 mlynedd nesaf, a chredaf fod yr adroddiad hwn yn gwneud argymhellion defnyddiol ac addas iawn ynglŷn â sut y gellid datblygu'r cynllun hwnnw yn y dyfodol. Wrth gwrs, gwyddom fod y Llywodraeth wedi nodi nifer o wahanol flaenoriaethau, mae gennym yr argyfwng newid hinsawdd sydd wedi'i ddatgan hefyd, a gwyddom fod yna lefel o ansicrwydd, rwy'n cydnabod hynny, o ran y ffordd y gallai cronfa ffyniant gyffredin Llywodraeth y DU weithio. Nawr, un o'r pethau a oedd yn un o brosiectau allweddol cynllun buddsoddi mewn seilwaith Cymru, wrth gwrs, oedd ffordd liniaru'r M4. Dywedwyd wrthym fod y cynllun wedi'i roi heibio oherwydd yr argyfwng newid hinsawdd, ond ni welwn unrhyw gynigion yn cael eu cyflwyno ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer seilwaith gwyrdd o ran -
