Chief electoral officer told by whom?

Provincial chief electoral officer Chuck Furey said today he's been advised other members of the House of Assembly will vacating their seats before the scheduled October general election.

Who told Furey?

Why would the CEO know this information under any circumstances?

According to vocm.com, Furey also said he did not know if the Premier would change electoral boundaries based on the recent boundary commission report. Maybe VOCM misquoted him because surely Furey knows - as a former member of the legislature and former cabinet minister - that such a decision is not made by the Premier, anyway.
