Prynhawn da, bawb.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Before we begin today's meeting, I want to briefly refer to yesterday's proceedings. During First Minister's questions, there was an exchange on which I have since received correspondence and which has also received media coverage. Scrutiny of the Government, including the questioning of Ministers, is an important part of our Senedd. It is essential that this is conducted in accordance with our rules and the established expectations for contributions in this Chamber. Members indeed have received training and guidance on those expectations. We will, of course, hold differing views and that was evident yesterday in both the remarks made and the responses in the Chamber. Robust disagreement is part of democratic debate, but it must always be grounded in respect and we must avoid using language that has the potential to inflame debate or to increase tensions. So, I expect, as Llywydd, that Members at all times conduct themselves in a way that promotes respect for this Senedd and that extends respect and courtesy to all other Members and to everyone in our society. So, my appeal to Members, my direction to Members is: respect our rules, treat one another with kindness and with courtesy and with respect.
Gadewch i ni fynd ymlaen nawr. Mae llawer o fusnes i'w wneud heddiw.
Now, let us move one. We have a great deal of business to cover today.
Yn gyntaf, eitem 1. Rwyf nawr yn gwahodd enwebiadau o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.2F i ethol Cadeiryddion y pwyllgorau. Dim ond Aelod o'r grŵp gwleidyddol y dyrannwyd y pwyllgor hwnnw iddo a all gael ei enwebu yn Gadeirydd, a dim ond Aelod o'r un grŵp plaid sy'n cael cynnig yr enwebiad. Cytunwyd ar y dyraniad Cadeiryddion i grwpiau gwleidyddol yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.2A. Os bydd unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu enwebiad, neu os ceir dau enwebiad neu fwy ar gyfer yr un pwyllgor, cynhelir pleidlais gyfrinachol. Byddaf yn parhau gyda'r enwebiadau ar gyfer gweddill y pwyllgorau hyd nes y bydd yr enwebiadau i gyd wedi'u gwneud.

First of all, item 1. I now invite nominations under Standing Order 17.2F for the election of committee Chairs. Only a Member from the political group that has been allocated that committee may be nominated as Chair, and only a Member of the same political group may make the nomination. The allocation of Chairs to the political groups has been agreed in accordance with Standing Order 17.2A. If any Member objects to a nomination, or if two or more nominations are made for one committee, a secret ballot will be held. I will continue with the nominations for the remaining committees until all nominations have been made.
