Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Brexit Minister – in the Senedd at 2:42 pm on 16 January 2019.
Diolch, Llywydd. Instead of still arguing over the different ways in which the Brexit referendum result can be betrayed and reversed, isn't now the time to think practically about the way forward and to revert to the offer that Donald Tusk made to Theresa May some time ago to embark upon discussions to bring about a Canada-style free trade agreement, which would have the advantage of delivering on the referendum result—the people of the United Kingdom and the people of Wales both voted to leave unequivocally two and a half years ago—and would also maximise the opportunities for trade with the EU that nobody wants to sacrifice on either side of the English channel?
