As of yesterday, she agreed to pay back the amount for the daughter's friend, but not her daughter. To me this proves she still doesn't "get it." Bringing her daughter is a choice. She chose to run for premier; knowing the job requirements.
I have made career choices based upon family; so I get that family is important. It also means I didn't accept a job that would take me away from my family too much.

To be clear I am not defending her.
But what was the cost to the taxpayer?
For example, if I have to drive to Edmonton, I rent a car and my business pays for it. I take my kid as we will visit relatives after my work stuff is done. I have her bring a friend so they can entertain each other while I am working. Where is the additional cost to my employer? I am just not seeing it.
Expensing the burger in Edmonton for kid and friend is offside I guess. But transportation only, there is no material extra cost.
