I congratulate the Finance Committee on its very important report and recommendations, Dirprwy Lywydd. We all know that the challenges involved with Brexit are immense, and the uncertainty is great, and that poses all sorts of very, very difficult challenges for organisations, and, indeed, everybody in Wales. Trying to find a way through is very, very difficult, given the complexity and the reach of our membership into all aspects of life.

We've heard mention of some European Union programmes today, Dirprwy Lywydd, and I'd like to mention the LIFE programme, which many of our organisations concerned with our environment and nature and biodiversity in Wales value greatly, and have requested that it be highlighted in terms of continuation of funding. It has been critical to nature and, by extension, well-being in Wales, since 1992, when it first started. Over that period, we've had 18 nature and biodiversity LIFE projects in Wales, with a total value of over €65 million—€36 million of which is directly from European Union funds. I would say, Dirprwy Lywydd, and I know many would agree, that money has achieved a lot and has been put to very good use. I think that's very much the view of Welsh Government, given that the Welsh Government's own nature recovery plan for Wales lists several LIFE-funded projects that are critical to the achievement of nature conservation objectives in our country, and it specifically mentions LIFE as crucial to achieving our nature recovery objectives. So, given that centrality of that programme, those projects and that funding to nature, biodiversity and well-being in Wales, I wonder if the Cabinet Secretary might consider calling on UK Government to replace the EU LIFE nature fund with an equivalent dedicated funding programme for nature as we move forward.
