I thank Sam Kurtz for those questions. May I echo and identify myself with the final comment he made in his contribution? Everyone has an opportunity but also a responsibility to ensure that we do our very best for the Welsh language, and we have a plan here that lays the foundations for that.

He opened his contribution by asking about accountability. I wasn't quite sure if he was expressing his hope that I would still be Minister for the Welsh language in 2050—I didn't quite know if that's what he was asking. But on that theme, there are numerous opportunities—. This experience is one of the ways in which we are accountable for progress in this policy area. Figures are regularly published in terms of where we are on language use. Of course, as we've chosen the census as a means of measuring progress in the number of speakers, that happens on a 10-year basis, but we will see later this year what the figures are.

And within the broader 2050 plan, he mentioned how important it is to see this programme as part of a broader range of programmes related to the prosperity of the language in all of those. There are KPIs so that we as Ministers, as a Senedd, and as a nation can see where we are on that journey. For example, he asked the question as to where we are in terms of recruitment. We have a 10-year plan. We announced our projections in terms of what will be needed in terms of teacher numbers and the numbers qualifying, so those figures are publicly available and we are accountable for that. But I will also, within the 10-year plan, give a two-year update on where we are in terms of the impact of that specific scheme, and I hope to do that at a local authority level so that we can see the distribution of progress, hopefully, in terms of recruitment through that plan. I agree with him; it is truly important that we do secure opportunities to be accountable, and I'm sure that those are in place. 

In terms of investment in the early years, I agree with him that it's important that we do ensure that more and more children take the opportunity to access early years education through the medium of Welsh. We've reached the target of establishing 40 new groups during the first three years of the Set Up and Succeed programme, despite the impact of COVID. Twelve new provisions were provided during 2021-22 as part of the wider target of increasing provision during this Senedd term. So, we are on track in terms of early years too.
