"Who really knows - however I stick by my earlier forecast that Teck will be submitting a EA to the provincial and federal governments for a 'hopeful' approval before next federal election 2015. But then again, maybe it's just a wish, as I'm not sure how long the process takes, and it seems that time is moving along without any haste."

Im confused, was this a typo or miss use of the word. Did you mean to say time was moving slowly while they aren't submitting the EA? I assumed/assume it was meant to be that the time to submit and get this EA approved (before an election) is rapidly vanishing, but that is not what it says.
