Did the House of Commons pass laws to protect their members from being punished in criminal cases?

No, members of the Senate and the House of Commons have not passed laws to make themselves immune to prosecution. This is with the exception, however, of parliamentary privilege. Members of the Senate and the House of Commons cannot be charged with an offence based on things that they say within the parliamentary precinct. This is to ensure that members of both Houses of Parliament are able to enjoy unabridged free speech in the performance of their duties. (Members of the Senate and the House of Commons are not immune, however, to prosecution for any remarks made outside of those chambers.)

How many Canadian MP's have criminal records?
found this little bit of data on the subject...In summary, the laying of criminal charges against a member of the House of Commons or Senate carries no immediate legal implication. Even if a member is convicted, he or she can continue to sit, unless sentenced to a term of imprisonment of two years or more. Nonetheless, the House and the Senate retain the power to expel their members who are facing criminal charges or are convicted but not sentenced to a term of imprisonment of two years or more. However, this power is rarely used and certain provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms might protect parliamentarians in such circumstances.
