The Finance Committee is demanding that MSPs debate the budget timetable after the Scottish government delayed announcing their financial plans until December.
Ministers put back publication of the draft budget until after the Chancellor's autumn statement, because of uncertainty caused by the Brexit vote.
But the committee's convener has written to the finance secretary expressing concern about the lack of time to scrutinise the plans.
Bruce Crawford also says it's unacceptable that Derek Mackay isn't even prepared to publish any scenario planning information to help the committee.
If the budget timetable goes to the vote, there's no guarantee that the SNP Government would win it.
