Yes, a very vague access to information request certainly isn't ideal. Institutions often try to deal with the person requesting the information and explain to them that, if they submit their request as is, they will receive two million pages. The institutions will try working with the requester to reduce the scope of the request. That's sometimes impossible, though, because they won't want to change it. However, the act currently has a provision that enables institutions to ask for my permission to not respond to a request that's made in bad faith or that would be unreasonable, given that the volume of information in the response would be too high.
