English: Minister, as I'm sure you're aware, this Saturday coming is Welsh Small Business Saturday. A great opportunity for all of us, as Assembly Members, to support local homegrown businesses, both in the high street and elsewhere. Last week in this Chamber, the First Minister made the important point that the high street of the past cannot simply be resurrected, no matter how much we sometimes might like that, but the future will lie in a combination, a fusion, of the physical high street and online sales. When I was Chair of the Enterprise and Business Committee, back in 2014 I think it was, we reported about how the high street could be improved and we suggested this approach. So, five years, six years have gone under the bridge since then, and I wonder if we could have an update from the Welsh Government on how we might achieve that more modern, more sustainable high street with a rebalancing of business rates so that businesses, whether online or in the physical high street, can better compete and survive. Secondly, could we have an update from the Welsh Government on proposals for a national forest? I know that this is something that is in the pipeline and there have been different ideas about how it might be achieved. It's very much in vogue at the moment, with many parties in the UK general election looking at ways that we can plant more trees. I think all of us would agree that that is a good way to go, but the issue is how you do that, how quickly you do it and where those trees are planted, whether it's done on a local authority basis, which I think is the Welsh Government's plan, rather than having it in one place. So, I wonder if we could have an update on the Welsh Government's strategy for making sure that we make Wales greener in the future and we make a lead across the UK to show that we can be the most sustainable and environmentally friendly part of the UK in the future.
Welsh: Gweinidog, fel y gwyddoch chi rwy'n siŵr, dydd Sadwrn hwn yw Dydd Sadwrn Busnesau Bach Cymru. Cyfle gwych i bob un ohonom ni, fel Aelodau'r Cynulliad, gefnogi busnesau cynhenid lleol, yn y stryd fawr ac mewn mannau eraill. Yr wythnos diwethaf yn y Siambr hon, gwnaeth y Prif Weinidog y pwynt pwysig nad oes modd atgyfodi stryd fawr y gorffennol, ni waeth faint y byddwn ni'n dymuno hynny weithiau, ond bydd y dyfodol yn gyfuniad o'r stryd fawr ffisegol a gwerthiant ar-lein. Pan oeddwn i'n Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Menter a Busnes, yn ôl yn 2014 rwy'n credu, fe wnaethom ni adrodd ar sut y byddai modd gwella'r stryd fawr ac fe awgrymon ni y dull hwn o weithredu. Mae pum mlynedd, chwe blynedd wedi mynd heibio ers hynny. Tybed a allem ni gael yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf gan Lywodraeth Cymru ynghylch sut y gallem ni gyflawni'r stryd fawr fwy modern, mwy cynaliadwy honno drwy newid pwyslais ardrethi busnes fel bod busnesau, boed yn rhai ar-lein neu ar y stryd fawr ffisegol, yn gallu cystadlu'n well a goroesi. Yn ail, a gawn ni'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf gan Lywodraeth Cymru am y cynigion ar gyfer coedwig genedlaethol? Gwn fod hyn yn rhywbeth sydd ar y gweill a bod syniadau gwahanol wedi bod ynglŷn â sut y gellid cyflawni hyn. Mae'n boblogaidd iawn ar hyn o bryd, gyda llawer o bleidiau yn etholiad cyffredinol y DU yn ystyried ffyrdd y gallwn ni blannu mwy o goed. Rwy'n credu y byddai pob un ohonom ni'n cytuno bod honno'n ffordd dda o fynd ati, ond y mater dan sylw yw sut y gwnewch chi hynny, pa mor gyflym y gwnewch chi hynny a ble y caiff y coed hynny eu plannu, a yw'n cael ei wneud ar sail awdurdod lleol, sef cynllun Llywodraeth Cymru, rwy'n credu, yn hytrach na'i gael mewn un man. Felly, tybed a gawn ni ddiweddariad ar strategaeth Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer gwneud yn siŵr ein bod yn gwneud Cymru yn wyrddach yn y dyfodol a'n bod ni'n arwain ledled y DU i ddangos sut y gall Cymru fod y rhan fwyaf cynaliadwy ac ecogyfeillgar o'r DU yn y dyfodol.
