Pe byddem yn gweithredu ar gynnig yr Ombwdsmon, byddai angen i ni ymestyn cwmpas pwerau'r Ombwdsmon yn sylweddol. Ar hyn o bryd, mae awdurdodaeth yr Ombwdsmon yn ymestyn i wasanaethau cyhoeddus datganoledig yn unig. Byddai hyn angen newid er mwyn cynnwys adrannau Llywodraeth y DU ac, o bosibl, unrhyw gorff yn y sector preifat. Byddai angen i’w awdurdodaeth gynnwys gwasanaethau a ddarperir gan gyflogwyr i gyflogeion. Byddai angen i ni ystyried rhoi pwerau gorfodi’r Ombwdsmon neu drefniant cymhleth a fyddai’n cynnwys naill ai’r Comisiwn arfaethedig, Tribiwnlys y Gymraeg, neu'r ddau. Ar y cyfan, byddai angen deddfu ar gyfer diwygiadau sylfaenol i gylch gwaith a phwerau’r Ombwdsmon. Rwy’n ystyried  y byddai yn creu goblygiadau ymhell y tu hwnt i bolisi’r Gymraeg yn unig.
If we were to act on the Ombudsman’s proposal, we would need to extend the scope of the Ombudsman’s powers significantly. At present, the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction only extends to devolved public services. This would need to be extended in order to include UK government departments and, potentially, any private sector body.  It would need to include services provided by employers to employees. We would need to consider enforcement powers for the Ombudsman or a complex arrangement involving either the proposed Commission, the Welsh Language Tribunal, or both. All in all, we would need to legislate for fundamental reforms to the Ombudsman’s remit and powers. I consider this would have implications much wider than Welsh language policy alone.
