Well, there's been no shift, and we are not disregarding anything. The census is our measure, but we have to look at the broader context if we want to base our policies on facts rather than what we would want to see. That's why looking at the bigger picture is so very important.

But, as I was saying, it's also important that we look at the work that the Commission for Welsh-speaking Communities will do, because there will certainly be some policy recommendations as a result of their work, and I'm sure there will be further opportunities for us to debate and discuss those.

The Member mentioned that the Welsh language is an important cultural asset; I agree. In looking at how football has embraced our language here in Wales and on the international stage over recent years, I think we can clearly see what sport can contribute to our language and our national ethos. I went to a Dydd Miwsig Cymru event recently. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm for the Welsh language and for our culture, not just in Wales but beyond too—people coming together because of the Welsh language, Welsh culture in Welsh. As I said, our language is about people. And the collaboration we saw on that day between schools, mentrau iaith and a host of other people and organisations was wonderful. I'd like to thank them and thank Dydd Miwsig Cymru for their work throughout the year.

I also announced a new grant to nurture skills and the ability to create opportunities for people to come together at Welsh language music events and gigs, and I do want to work with other Ministers, and Plaid Cymru, through the co-operation agreement, in order to root the Welsh language in our new culture strategy.

We heard from Tom Giffard at the outset about the confidence levels of Welsh speakers and the importance of increasing the opportunities to use the language. I agree; that's the core of my mission. That's why we have the National Centre for Learning Welsh, and I'd like to thank them for their work. Enabling and empowering new speakers, and those who haven't used the Welsh language routinely for a while, to use the Welsh that they have is crucially important. So, my message to everyone learning Welsh or those who speak Welsh but are perhaps lacking confidence is: go for it. Use what Welsh you have wherever you can, and I'll be working to create more opportunities for you. Word by word, sentence by sentence, you will develop confidence and also inspire others. The Government's commitment to our language is quite clear: we want to see a prosperous future for the language.
