Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and could I thank the Petitions Committee for bringing forward today's important report in front of us here today? And can I also put on record my admiration for the friends and family of Mark, who I know are in the public gallery here today, and applaud their efforts in ensuring that this issue is debated here today in the form of a report?

As already stated by Members across the Chamber, it's extremely concerning that any young person loses their life to drowning in Wales. I understand that around 400 people across the UK actually lose their life through drowning, so it's clear that more needs to be done to see that continued action in preventing these deaths.

I just want to speak, Deputy Presiding Officer, as the chairman of the Senedd's cross-party group on the outdoor activity sector, and, while there is a lot of good in this report, I've been made aware that perhaps there are some missed opportunities amongst the recommendations, and opportunities that the outdoor activity sector would want to have a comment on, especially with their great deal of experience and expertise in this area. And as we know, the report does highlight a number of the challenging issues when it comes to ensuring water spaces are safer places for those who visit and use them, as well as making suggestions to help mitigate some of these issues. But, in terms of the missed opportunity, I understand there hasn't been the consultation with the outdoor activity sector that perhaps could have taken place, and I know it's disappointing to the sector, as they, amongst many people, see water safety as such an important aspect of the work that they do. And they already do a huge amount of work in relation to water safety and campaigns, with things like AdventureSmart Wales, AdventureSmart UK, with their public awareness campaigns, and also their campaigns with around 100 other partners, on a collaborative effort to agree safety messages and share those messages as widely as possible.

And a clear aspect of this debate and report so far is that a lot more work needs to be done in preventing these deaths, and, to achieve this aim, we all must make sure that we're working together, working across sector and across organisations, to ensure that this happens as best as possible. So, whilst I appreciate, Deputy Presiding Officer, that this process is coming to a conclusion in terms of this report, I understand the sector itself would still welcome further discussions in how they could further support the Petitions Committee and relevant bodies in relation to water safety and drowning prevention, and I hope that this offer can be taken up. But I certainly want to thank the committee for their report and the Chairman for presenting it here today. I look forward to further contributions. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
