The last General Council sent a remit to the church concerning the various "Statements of Faith" that the United Church has produced since it's creation in 1925. You can read the remit here.

The main section reads as follows: In the area of Doctrine, The United Church of Canada recognizes the primacy of Scripture, with the “Doctrine Section of the Basis of Union,” “1940 Statement of Faith,” “A New Creed,” and “A Song of Faith,” each being recognized as a “subordinate standard” of the United Church as contemplated by Declaration 28(b) of The United Church of Canada Act. Sessions and Presbytery members will be voting on this remit in the near future. The September issue of Touchstone has a number of excellent articles about this remit and the rationale of it. You can find this issue on their website.
