Huw Irranca-Davies: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, beyond COVID-19, we're still facing a climate emergency, we have a biodiversity crisis, we have underlying deep social and economic inequality, we have companies that are not as ethical as others and do not pay their fair share of taxes, and so on. So, in the building back better, can I ask you to elaborate on this and what it would mean for a different type...
Huw Irranca-Davies: Can you hear me?
Huw Irranca-Davies: Diolch, Llywydd. Thank you for a few moments to contribute to this debate. First of all, I'd like to take as my keystone for this contribution a word that Paul Davies, the leader of the Welsh Conservative group in the Senedd, used earlier on in reference to this, which is the matter of hope. He said that people need hope through milestones and timescales. Actually, I'm not sure that that is...
Huw Irranca-Davies: So, rather than hope coming from arbitrary milestones and timescales that we see, as in England at the moment, unraveling every few days, it's actually the confidence and hope that people get from looking at a Government that says, 'The first priority is public safety. We're going to do this together. We're going to work through the difficult choices here together and we're going to ease our...
Huw Irranca-Davies: Good morning, First Minister. Last night, I was one of many people who took part in a UK-wide discussion on the Co-operative Party's new report 'Owning the Future', about how we can rebuild co-operatively after coronavirus. And the report found that only one in 10 people feel that the UK-wide economy before coronavirus prioritised sharing wealth fairly, and that seven out of 10 people think...
Huw Irranca-Davies: Minister, there's a real worry that, out of necessity, many people, as we see the restrictions on coronavirus being eased to allow people to go back to work and to some elements of social movement as well, then it's going to be in private cars with individuals driving, no passengers, and that we risk, then, a rush back to a type of society and type of work that we really don't want to see....
Huw Irranca-Davies: Minister, to add to what David was saying, I think we all know the response of volunteers during the crisis has been incredible, right across the whole of Ogmore, but across the whole of Wales, as well, supporting communities with food and prescriptions, dog walking, deliveries and just social contact and a friendly face to see, albeit socially distanced. It's been amazing. But, Minister, can...
Huw Irranca-Davies: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Could I just add to what Llyr was just saying? It's great to see, in the last couple of days, some of the shops along Pencoed and Pontycymer and Maesteg reopening cautiously, and people coming out to cautiously spend money on our local high streets. But it is a real issue over the crowded pavement spaces and so on, and I just wonder what discussions both you and the...
Huw Irranca-Davies: Diolch, Dirpwy Lywydd. Thank you very much for this. I'm not used to doing interventions at this point in a debate, but it's a very brief point that I'll ask the Minister to take on board. On page 22 of the report, which I very much welcome and thank Helen Mary and her colleagues for it, Liam Evans-Ford, the executive director of Theatr Clwyd, calls for involvement from the people who run the...
