Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition (in respect of his European Transition responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 3:09 pm on 7 October 2020.
Minister, could I thank you for joining me recently in an online event where you engaged very deeply and thoughtfully with dozens of questions from the public on post-COVID recovery and reconstruction? So, recognising the immense challenges ahead of the pandemic and of the EU 'deal' or 'no deal' scenarios, and without coming across all Johnsonian now, oozing fantasy optimism about 'world beating' this, 'moonshot' that, driving JCBs through flimsy polystyrene walls, is there any real note of optimism that he can give to the people of Wales—especially young people—about how we get through this well, and do it in a way that is better and fairer for our jobs and economy, better for our environment, and better and fairer for society as a whole?
