Sorry. How could that be done practically, then? That's the question.

And Baroness Brown spoke with us as a committee as well during that same visit, which was very, very valuable.

No, no, Joyce.

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Okay. We have spoken quite a bit about engagement earlier, so thank you for that. So, we'll move on then to Joyce.

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
We have indeed, yes. [Laughter.]

Thank you, Carolyn. Thank you. Your new climate adaptation report has a number of recommendations, of course, and it's work that's making an important contribution. But we are getting to the end of a Senedd and things tend to drop off a cliff when it comes to…

Okay. Thank you.

Planning.

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Thank you. Right. Okay. We're just over halfway through our allocated time, and we're nowhere near halfway through the areas that we wish to cover, so I'll just ask Members and our witnesses to keep that in mind. But thank you for what you are telling us; we…

Thank you. I'm very conscious of time. Joyce, you wanted to come in.

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru

And, as well, how is that being monitored on an ongoing basis?

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Sorry, Carolyn, time is against us. We're going to have to move on, I'm afraid. Can I ask you about the review that the Welsh Government undertook in 2024? There were a number of actions coming out of that. Can you give us an update on progress on responding…

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Okay, thank you. Carolyn wanted to come in. I'm not sure if it was on this, Carolyn, but certainly I know that you want to come in with another question as well.
21 Ionawr 2026 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Okay, and we'll come on to looking ahead and the future of the commission later on. So, thank you for that. Julie, thank you for your patience.
21 Ionawr 2026 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
No, absolutely.

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Well, I mean, I'm glad that witnesses are honest with this committee, absolutely. [Laughter.] So, what does that say, then, about the best use of the £400,000-odd a year that they invest in your work? Because, clearly, if they want to get the best bang for…

Sorry. Janet, can you mute yourself, please?

Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
Thank you for that. Before I come to Julie, can I just ask, then, on the confusion or ambiguity around the Welsh Government's responses to your recommendations—what does that tell you about the way the Government looks at your work, and how seriously it takes…
21 Ionawr 2026 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Craffu blynyddol ar waith Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru
