I'm disappointed that Jenny Rathbone feels that the amendments are misguided. Yes, I understand—. The Minister referred to my early involvement, maybe, as a former member of the Children, Young People and Education Committee. I understand fully that it is a framework piece of legislation, but of course, Jenny was telling us, 'We don't need to tell them about this, because it's there'. Well, the Government has decided, actually, that we need to tell people about relationship education and sexuality education and religion and values and ethics. All I'm saying is, 'Well, given the centrality of the climate emergency and ecological crisis that we're facing in our lives, then we should be adding that as well.' 

As for Neil Hamilton's comments, he said he was deeply shocked, and I would be deeply shocked if he wasn't deeply shocked at some of the things that I say, because quite clearly we diametrically disagree on this. For him to suggest that these amendments are of a former era, well, maybe some would suggest that he would probably know. So, I'm disappointed, really, but not surprised at his contribution. 'Millennium bug'—for heaven's sake.

Anyway, okay—just responding to the Minister, then, I do understand the assertion that much of what I want to achieve is covered in the Bill. The difference is, of course, that my amendments make it explicit and ensure that the climate crisis and ecological emergency aren't lost amongst other things. It gives, in my view, this area the absolute precision focus within the curriculum that it deserves. And of course, there's nothing in my amendments that would stop any of what the Minister has said from being achieved, so there's no reason to oppose the amendments, in my view. In fact, I see them as actually strengthening what we all want to see. 

Now, the First Minister of course made some big pronouncements about the climate emergency in his conference speech last weekend. Well, you know, this is the first test, isn't it, so don't fall at the first hurdle by voting against these amendments. I appeal to Members. 

The youngest children that are currently in our education system are three years old, and most of these students won't probably leave full-time education until maybe around 2035. By 2035, we may well have already passed the 1.5 degrees target in relation to global warming, so we need to rapidly change our way of living. We all know that interests are fostered from a very young age, and early years at school are fundamental for developing a child's character, and by implementing climate education now, in this curriculum, we can make sure that children going into the world of work after 2030 are prepared for a very different world, but a world, of course, where, thanks to the education system in Wales, they are climate-aware, and they're climate-conscious citizens. So, I would urge Members to please support my amendments and, in doing so, reflect the true importance and weight that we put on this particular area. Diolch.
