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.
