Keep in mind the source of this video, but this doesn't cast the two Councillors in a good light with Fleury claiming his english isn't that nuanced (I've found him to be completely fluent in english) and McKenney is coaching him to switch the discussion to french etc under their breath.
They've taken something pretty innocent and made it look like some sort of conspiracy (that's what they do, right?). It's possible to be fully bilingual but not fully understand a dictionary definition. I'm sure most people use words in a certain way that's not completely in line with their intended use (people have a lot of trouble with "ironic", for example). The examples he used to describe micro-aggressions are in line with my thoughts.

Guy questioning Fleury was condescending, asking a fluently bilingual person to wear a translation headset because he could not confirm one definition.
