I am interested to hear Ms Davidson speak about what they are doing differently in Wales. It would be good if she could outline how the approach taken in Wales has made Wales different from, say, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It would be good, if possible, to have a comparison. What is the dividend from going down this road in policy, decisions, vision and outcomes? They have been at it now since, I think, 2016. There is nearly a decade of experience of setting up a new approach effectively, which was quite a visionary thing to do. Regarding outcomes, is Wales a more progressive place than Scotland or England from the point of view of climate, future generations and youth vision as a result of having a future generations commissioner and as a result of the legislation put in place requiring the Welsh Parliament to consider future generations in all key policy decisions? Has it delivered that dividend in real terms or is it still sort of an outlook change towards how policy and how decisions are made? Is that a fair question?
