Yes, it's a Canadian company
Thanks @fatman17 French canadian based Quebec Canada and its family own Bombardier is family name eat subsidy on the name of jobs security from Govt. Not plane only they make locomotive, street cars train cars but basically they are in business of manufacturing. These planes can be seen park at Downsview test facility at Toronto.
 
It's just my guess. Actually, the Global 6000 actually doesn't fall into the PN's tender requirements (MTOW is too light). But of the aircraft available on the market, it has a proven track record of military conversion work, and in multiple countries (including Turkey and UAE).
Plus the requirement of at least 100 examples of the same aircraft in use globally, narrow the choice of jet for the required purpose .....
 
Is PN interested in acquiring Destroyers? If yes then what about some options from EU side:

Horizon-class frigate seems the best fit.

extremely expensive and relate to our relations with France and Italy, if PN consider
destroyer purchase then it would be Chinese Type- 52 variants, most probably

Type52d there are 6 of them that could be available to PN if Pakistan talk to Chinese
 
A used 737-700 is about $25-30 million and cost $7-8k/hour to operate (civilian version)

A perfect aircraft to modify for use. Spares are available everywhere on the planet so no shortage there.
Only a few aircraft fit this criteria, and they are all narrow-body commercial airliners.
Unless PN is looking for Russian or Chinese aircraft, the only two options are Airbus 319MPA or Boeing 737 (on which the P-8 and the E-7 are based). It is clear PN is looking for P-3C replacement and answer to the P-8Is that India acquired.
The Bombardier G-6000 does not make the cut for neither the size, not the troop carrying capacity nor the weight carrying capability.
