Thank you very much, Laura, and thank you for your kind words and for your support for this plan. It does take me back to that debate we had back in October 2020. It was a debate and a motion that was supported by the vast majority of Senedd Members, a real cross-party consensus that we want to tackle racism and race inequality in Wales. Actually, it did recognise the need for a race equality action plan for Wales. It recognised structural and systemic inequality and that we had to address this in terms of developing a plan. So, now is the time for change, as you say. And of course, it's an opportunity for everyone in a position of power—Welsh Government, local government, public bodies and business. I'm glad that I've been able to share the draft plan ready for consultation with the shadow social partnership council, where, of course, we have not only trade unions but employers, the Confederation of British Industry, the Federation of Small Businesses, the private sector, as well as the third sector, embracing the plan and recognising this is for the whole of Wales. It's for the whole of the Welsh Government as well as the whole of Wales.

What we're doing also, I think, importantly, is actually setting out deliverable and achievable actions to tackle racism and inequality. Over the last few weeks I've been meeting with all my colleagues in the Welsh Government, because this is about health and social care, it's about housing, education, income and employment, culture, arts, heritage and sport. And you've given that vivid example where we see that racism and racism being tackled, and also our communities and our young people responding to that as well, as a result of their understanding, and grasping the impact of Black Lives Matter and wanting to be part of the response. But it's also recognising that this is about leadership and representation. It's about the environment, the Welsh language, and it's about areas where we do work with the UK Government, like crime and justice.

This plan is about fairness. It's about ensuring that everyone is entitled to equal treatment and equal services, but the experiences of black, Asian and minority ethnic people in Wales, and years of data—years of data—show that it's simply not happening. What's come over, as I said, very clearly, is that this must not just be a strategy, it must be a plan of action. That's why we're engaging with those community mentors who've come into the Welsh Government, funding over 50 community organisations all over Wales, so all Senedd Members will have groups in their communities engaging with this—and also the Wales Race Forum and race equality organisations guiding us through. But of course, the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on black, Asian and minority ethnic people, and the death of George Floyd, have shone a light on those deep-seated inequalities that we must now address. I think this is a really good sign that we are getting this kind of response already in the Senedd this afternoon. Thank you.
