Would you like me to begin now? Thank you very much, Llywydd. I have agreed to give a minute to my colleague Mabon ap Gwynfor. 

The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 was passed in this Chamber six years ago. Its aim was to embed in our law, our public bodies and our culture, seven well-being goals and five sustainable development principles. These five principles were to be put at the heart of every decision by a public body in Wales—every goal and every activity as well. The principles of long-term thinking, integration, preventing harm, collaboration and participation were there to help us as a nation to achieve sustainable goals.
