Diolch, Delyth. I think your analysis is really inspiring in the sense that you've come at it from a different perspective as a new Assembly Member with a new outlook on what we can be looking at in terms of this committee, in relation to modern language and the loss of the arts, and how this may have led to some of the issues that led to Brexit—diminution of local provision, theatres closing in our communities—and how that then leads to a lack of opportunity in that regard, and I think that's right for you to say.

And I think, in terms of co-operation, culturally between our nation and others, young people now are given the opportunity to travel. Going back to orchestras, because this is what I know, you can go and perform in a European country as I did—I went to Germany—and then they come back and you share those experiences, they stay here, they become part of your culture for a little while, and you learn more about the world. And I think that is the issue that we're going to find with Brexit, that we will see the world, perhaps, from a more superficial level and that's not good for anybody, because we can have so much to learn from different countries.

But the linguaphobia, I think, is something that we have to discuss beyond this particular committee inquiry as well, because, you know, I'm sure you have, and on these benches we've had people saying that they are fearful sometimes to speak Welsh in some places because they are being told not to speak a foreign language, when, actually, it's the language of their own country. So, that's totally preposterous. But thank you for bringing those new insights into the committee's remit and that's something, in relation to modern languages, perhaps the education committee—not that I want to give work to Lynne Neagle as the Chair—but, in relation to modern languages, it's certainly something that is reaching crisis point and needs addressing.
