No one. I should highlight that (as I commented) I have been on the other end of requests when working as a public servant myself. It's interesting to note that major Ministry's usually conduct training on how to deal with OIA's and one of the major points that is highlighted in that training is that staff should never be looking for a reason to turn down an OIA request.
Having said that I've seen some ridiculous OIA requests which were simply untennable (such as wanting ALL records containing a particular word or phrase).
